Automobile drivers' licenses of thirteen persons have been temporarily suspended, it was learned yesterday, a laborer in the State Motor Vehicle Bureau has been discharged and two women clerks suspended by Commissioner Charles A. Harnett as the result of his discovery that inspectors' reports rejecting applicants as drivers had been altered so that persons who failed in their tests received licenses.

COmmissioner Harnett said last night that all of those whose licenses had been suspended received instruction in driving at the National Automobile School, 220 East Fourteenth Street. This is conducted by M. Pansky and his son Morris. Both have been questioned by Mr. Harnett and as the result of his inquiry he has revoked the driver's license of Morris Pansky.

The investigation was begun by the Commissioner when he received information a fortnight ago that inspectors' reports were being altered. An examination revealed that inspectors' reports rejecting seven pupils of the National Automobile School as drivers had been altered on July 30 so that the applications were marked approved. Fourteen pupils of this school had been examined on that date.

They were all summoned before Mr. Harnett and satisfied him that they were innocent of complicity in tempering with the reports. One man took another test immediately and passed and retained his license. The others must undergo another test before their licenses are returned to them.

The National Automobile School, said Mr. Harnett, guarantees to qualify a pupil for a driver's license for a $25 fee. The minimum charge is $10 for ten lessons or at the rate of $1 a lesson. The Commissioner said he believed some one in the school was interested in obtaining licenses for backward pupils who had received $25 worth of instruction at the usual rate, and paid bureau employees to change the reports. Further action in the matter is pending.
