Ten Thousand Ten Dollar Check Cashed In Platview
A woman cashed an insurance check for ten thousand ten dollars at a Platview drug store after misreading the amount as ten dollars. The bank flagged the error when the check was later presented for a fee and returned it. An employee delivered the check to the widow, who learned of the larger sum and reported the overage. The incident prompted an inspection of insurance and bank records.

Kennedy Wins Reversal on Housing Bill After Senate Vote
The Kennedy administration secured a dramatic victory on the $6.09 billion housing bill by restoring a moderate income family provision via a substitute vote. The Senate, in a 49 to 44 tally, reversed an earlier decision that had knocked out the provision. The substitute closely matched the original, with a requirement for a small down payment on new 40 year mortgages. Final passage was delayed, with leaders signaling no final action Monday and holding the bill for possible further amendments.
