Bracken Lee's tax money rests today in a safe deposit box in a Salt Lake City bank, "And that's where it will stay," Lee says, "until a court rules that either I or government have a right to it."

When all the gifts are in and counted, the newlyweds will be in position to open an adequately stocked jewelry store, a usedand only slightly used- car lot, an antique shop, liquor store, art gallery, zoo or specialty shop for oddments. The number of gifts already runs to.

several hundred. Palace officials, far behind in their cataloguing, have little idea of the actual total value. The jewels and such items already announced run to at least $300,000. These include $150,000 worth of matching baubles from the citizens of Monaco and $40,000 diamond and ruby itemusable as a necklace or a tiarafrom the gambling casino controlled by shipowner Aristotle Onassis.

Illinois Auto License Number 3,000,000 Issued Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -If you're betting on whether Illinois license plate No. 3,000,000 will be issued this year, you've got a sure thing. It already has. Actually, passenger car registration figures added up to only 2,655,234 as of March 31.

But the secretary of state's office, anticipating a total of more than three million by Dec. 1, went ahead and issued the cherished I number. year's passenger car total of 2,858,869 beat the previous year by 162,892, and this year's should be the biggest yet, Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier said. The three million number went to Don E.

Chamberlain, a Springfield newspaperman. The same holds for truck 11- censes, which stand at 376,490, or almost 20,000 more than the 1955 total. License plate spectators dream up a lot of theories, most of them wrong. Some downstate people believe Chicago gets most of the bers between one million and two million because the downstaters find two to three times as many cars with numbers under one million or above two million in their locality. Carpentier's office says there's nothing to it.

For one thing, new 1956 numbers are assigned by blocks of 100,000, odd lots for Cook County and even for downstate. And to confuse observers even more, many vehicle owners retain the same number year after year, regardless of where they live. They can do this by renewing their licenses in October. Another safe bet is on next year's license colors. They will be red and white, the emblem of Illinois State Normal University.
