In a position statement, Gold

If the states do not act, Gold

Goldwater again repeated
that the federal government

What about feeder pig sales?
What do they do? How do they
contribute to the economic we'll
being of the state?
First, they provide supplment-
al income for the producer of
fecdars. They give the producer
a ready market for his pigs.
Then, the hog feeders have a
dependable source Of pigs that
are inspected, vaccinated and
sorted into uniform groups.
Mississippi's organized feeder
pigs sales are held each three
months with from 500 to 1900
pigs in each sale. Locations of
sales are BateSville, Bonneville,
VickSburg, Lourel, McComb, Ma
gee and Poplarville.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 9.-Be-
fore bankruptcy beset Mary
land savings and loan institu-
tions, Arthur A. Peisner, as one
of their executives, used to be
paid as much as $1,000 on
better days.
To insure that Mr.. Peisner
was adequately rewarded for
his managerial skills, the two
Silver Spring companies he ran
at times also paid his wife and
daughter.
And on occasions, they threw
in such compenSations as a
$4,000 mink coat, a Cadillac
and oil paintings.
All of this, together with a
lot more, was revealed yester-
day at a Baltimore hearing be-
fore Federal Bankruptcy Ref
cree Joseph o. Kaiser, who
several times expressed amaze
ment at what he heard.
The hearing ended as Mr.
Kaiser ordered Mr.. Peisner and

the mink, the Cadillac and the
paintings for the benefit OF
depositors who had money in
the defunct Mutual Security

the Wayne Investment Corp.
and the Kentland Construction
Co, of Silver Spring.
For more than 3 hours, the
court appointed receiver,
Charles A. Doctor, and Attor-
ney Samuel M. Greenbaum
pressed Mr.. Peisner for details
as to how he was compensated
as chief executive of Wayne

according to any fixed schedule.
you mean that when the
feeling came up that (there
was) some extra money in the
cash register, you asked, shall
we take it?" queried Mr..
Greenbaum.
THAT is correct, Mr.. Peisner
answered.
Exhibiting numerous checks
showing that Mr.. Peisner and
his wife sometimes received sew
eral large payments on the
same day, Mr.. Greenbaum
asked why the payments were
not made in a lump sum.
Mr.. Peisner explained that at
times there would be an "un-
availability of money during
certain hours of the day"
you mean if there was
money in the cash register in
the morning you drew a check,
and if there was money in the
afternoon you drew another
one?" Mr.. Greenbaum asked.
Mr.. Peisner indicated that
this was the procedure followed.
Mr.. Kaiser exclaimed, you
just took what you pleasedl"
Also Drew Cash
Peisner argued that the mink
coat, Cadillac, paintings and
other items bought for him by
Wayne and Kentland repre-
Sented compensation for his
services, but Mr.. Kaiser rejected
this contention, noting that
records showed that large sums
of cash had been given to the
Peisners about the same time
the articles were bought.
PeiSner is under indictment
on charges rising from savings
and loan scandals in Mont
gomery county, His conviction
on a pornography charge re-
Gently was reversed on grounds
that material, which a Federal
Court declared un-

A proposed moratorium on
new construction in Alexandria,
which would have blocked plans
for a nine STORY office builG,H.
behind historic Lloyd House,
was unanimously rejected by
the city council last night.
However, the council partly
acquiesced to Old Town resi-
dents by asking City Attorney
v. Floyd Williams to prepare
an "emergency ordinance"
limiting new buildings to 50
feet, the height of city land
mark, Gadsby's Tavern.
The new office building at
Queen and Nortn Washington
streets, proposed by oil man
Robert v. New would be more
than 100 feet tall.
Mr.. New, who purchased the
l69-year-old House in 1856,
plans to erect the L-shaped
building for offices of science
and research firms.
The ordinance will be pre-
pared, without recommended
tions by the council, for the
meeting o fthe planning COM
mission next Tuesday.
Hearing Today
1t was uncertain, however.
whether ultimate passage of the
ordinance could affect the
building proposal, which is
scheduled to be heard by the
Board of Architectural Review
today. Angry residents of the
historic area of the city are ex-
pected to turn out in large
numbers to oppose the plan.
Barring possible legal COM
plications, the moratorium, as
advanced by the Historic Alex
andria Foundation, would have
headed off any action today by
the architectural board. The
council turned down the mora
torium after Mr.. Williams ques-
toned its legality.
T. Edward Braswell, jr., presi-
dent of the Old Town Civic As
sociation, suggested the emer-
gency ordinance to help pre-
serve the character of the area.
1t would conform to the Gadsby
urban renewal projects, which
prescribe a 62-foot height limit
on new buildings, he said.
Retired Navy Capt. j. c.

Alexandria Foundation, said

Tuition Grants Approved
In other action, the council
approved a list of lao tuition
grants totaling $l8,l68.66 for
students who are completing
the present semester at public
schools outside the city and at
accredited private schools In
several states.
In taking the unanimous ac-
tion, the council rejected a re-
quest by Edward j. r. Guile
wicz, president of the Alexan-
dria Voters and Taxpayers
League, to go on record against
the tuition grant program.
The program was drawn up
by the Virginia General Assem-
bly, in 1859 to help students
who transfer from desegre-
gated schools. Because the law
does not mention race, a num-
ber of grant recipients attend
integrated schools. Fourteen Of
the 81 schools attended by the
current applicants are outside
the State.
On December 10, the school
board approved the list but
went on record against the
program and voted to ask the
council to do what they can
to change it," The council
