OStAL ILLINOIS EDITION THE PANTAGRAPH, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1983 A5 Atlanta library plans anniversary r--, mll i I ft MR HIMSS Credit card fraud foots caviar bills WASHINGTON (AP) A professional criminal, disguised with a black hood and cape, told a House subcommittee yesterday that he went from "hot dogs to caviar" by using stolen credit cards to charge up to $5,000 a day. The man, referred to only as Mr. Witness, with his voice disguised by a synthesizer, said credit card fraud was a "large business," complete with schools to educate the street people who actually go out and charge merchandise with the stolen cards. "With that, you have to have organization, you have to have rules," he said. "It's like being a Wall Street broker." The witness said that up to $10,000 a day could be billed fraudulently to a single account simply by keeping the purchases at the individual stores below the amount at which authorization is required.

Sometimes, he said, several people would use a stolen ATLANTA (PNS) Ceremonies Sunday will mark the 75th anniversary of the Atlanta Public Library and the 10th anniversary of its museum. The clock tower and historical marker will be dedicated during the ceremonies. The anniversary celebration at the library will be from 1:30 to 330 p.m., with the ceremonies to begin at 2 p.m. Mayor Dale A. Colaw will be master of eeremonies.

Lynn Hi-eronymus will give the invocation and the American Legion Post will conduct the flag-raising ceremony. Introductions will be by Ray Meyers, Atlanta Lions Club and Atlanta Business Council, Susan Smith, Friends of Historic Atlanta; Kenneth Long, Atlanta Rotary Club; Henry R. Meisels, director, Corn Belt Library System; Viola Bullerman, Atlanta Woman's Club; and Connie Wertheim, Atlanta Junior Woman's Club. The clock tower, a gift of the library board, houses the Seth Thomas clock that was mounted for many years in the tower of the Atlanta school. The clock and brass bell that tolled on the hour, were saved when the school was razed several years ago to make way for the new building.

The historical marker notes the founding of the library and museum, the city of Atlanta and Abraham Lincoln's connection to it. Richard McKown. a member of the library board of directors, and Fred Hoppin, Logan County Tourism Committee, will participate in the dedications. The marker was donated by Friends of Historic Atlanta, Atlanta Rotary Club, Atlanta Lions Club and the Logan County Tourism Committee. The library, dedicated March 28, 1908.

was named to the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of three buildings in Illinois featuring an octagonal-mode floor plan. Wilma Houser is librarian. The museum, in the library basement. Atlanta aica memorabilia.

Louise Pech, museum curator since its founding, said the goal is to collect items from every family in the area. A man identified only as "Mr. Witness" appeared yesterday before a House Banking subcommittee looking into credit card fraud. The man was recently released from jail on credit card charges. LDC employees to be recognized account number is being used without his authorization, the consumer is not liable for any of the charges made.

It is the consumer's responsibility, however, to prove to the credit card company that he, in fact, did not make the charges. Annunzio is proposing legislation that would restrict the distribution of credit card numbers and make it a violation of federal law to possess 10 or more stolen or counterfeit credit cards or to use stolen credit cards to obtain $1,000 in cash or merchandise in a one-year period. But the masked witness said credit card companies will have to "pull out all the stops" if they want to put an end to credit card crime. He called Annunzio's loss estimate of $1 billion "very conservative." The man, who was arrested 20 to 25 times and has since become a police informant, had asked to testify in disguise because he feared for his life, according to Annunzio. The witness said he was a street worker, operating mainly in New York City.

He was given credit each morning and then, using a list of merchandise, went out and made the required purchases. He would turn in the merchandise at the end of the day and then receive a percentage of the take. credit card during one day. By making small purchases, he said, he had charged up to $5,000 in a day. "If you're going to milk a card, you don't take anything over $50," he said, adding a stolen card could sometimes be used for 30 days if it was acquired at the beginning of the month.

For him, the man said, dealing in stolen credit cards was full-time work. "I never had too many jobs other than working credit cards," he said. "I made a very good living." The witness did not say specifically how much he earned with credit card fraud. Rep. Frank Annunzio, chairman of the House Banking 4-H Host families needed CLINTON Families with teenage 4-H'ers are needed to host about 25 rural youths from West Germany for two weeks this summer as part of the International 4-H Youth Exchange.

"And make no mistake about it," he said, "those losses are borne by consumers as surely as if a gunman put a gun to their head and robbed them. The losses suffered by financial institutions and credit card users are passed on to consumers in the form of higher fees for cards and increased interest costs."
