NORFOLK (AP)--A federal court jury award of $1.1 million last Friday to the receiver of the defunct Norfolk Savings Loan Corp. was confirmed Wednesday by U. S. District Court Judge Albert V. Bryan Jr.

Bryan denied a motion Wednesday by attorneys for the accounting firm of Burrus, Cootes Burrus that the firm be given credit for the $6.6 mil- lion out-of-court settlement to which other defendants agreed. The motion, if granted, would have wiped out the $1.1 million verdict handed down by the jury in Bryan's court Friday. "I am pleased," said receiver Edwin R. Mackethan. "It's an- other hurdle behind us." Robert M.

Hughes III, chief attorney for the accountants, said Wednesday he will file a motion Friday asking Bryan to set aside the award and enter a verdict in favor of the accoun- tants. That was the same motion Bryan denied last Friday, and if he does so again this Friday Hughes said, "We will proceed with an appeal" to the 4th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The legal action stems from the financial collapse in January 1973 of Norfolk Sav- ings, which, although its name made it sound like a savings and loan association, was really an uninsured industrial loan company specializing in mort- gage loans.

The State Corporation Com- mission ordered Norfolk Sav- ings closed after state bank ex- aminersdeclaredthe institution to be hopelessly insolvent.

The state code sets in section 14.1-52 45 days from the date of the compensation board's decision as the deadline for appealing that decision to the County's Circuit Court.

The following constitutional officers and their staffs are involved in the compensation board's decision: Garland Turner, commissiooner of. revenue; Even Brumfield, treasurer; Taylor E. McGregor, sheriff; and Joseph Motley Whitebead, com- monwealth's attorney. Prior to the presentation of the 1975-76 county budget, Barrett worked with the supervisors in developing a pay plan--the first in the history of Pittsylvania government. After rejecting several proposed plans, the super- visors agreed on a pay scale which hiked the average Mrs.

However, the local pay plan was not approved before the compensation board completed its deliberations on the allocations requested by constitutional officers from Pittsylvania and other localities in Virginia. The largest difference in the salaries approved by the two boards concerns the county commissioner of revenue's Mrs. M.

Handy Dies In Stuart Mrs. Minnie Hooker Handy. 91, of 178 Dalton died yesterday afternoon in Memorial Hospital in Stuart. She had been in declining health for several years. Born in Patrick County, May 23, 1884, she was a daughter of the late Gabe Hooker and Susana Hooker.

The Pittsylvania budget for this fiscal year met with little opposition at public hearings in June. The only last-minute cuts this year deleted hospitalization plans for em- ployes of the county and the school board. The amount cut from the $18.3 million budget document was $143,900.

Justin Moore of Vir- ginia Electric Power Co. said Wednesday that any retreat from the $97.7 million tempora- ry rate increase granted the utility last fall will cause "problems of agonizing grav- ity." Moore offered rebuttal testi- mony Wednesday at the State Corporation Commission's lengthy hearings on Vepco's re- quest for a $135.6 million rate hike. The SCC hearings are ex- pected to conclude Friday morning, but no immediate de- cision is expected. Vepco is seeking to have the temporary rate increase made permanent, and an additional $38 million tacked onto its rate structure. Moore said in hiis rebuttal that any, decision that ordered the company to refund a por- tion of the emergency increase would ultimately work to the disadvantage of the commis- sion, Vepco, and the consumer.

"I believe we are approach- ing the end of a difficult era," Moore said. "The one thing necessary to close the chapter is adequate rate relief in this proceeding. If that result can be obtained, we can look for- ward to a new day in electric services for Virginians." Moore's rebuttal testimony will be questioned by opponents of the rate hike and by SCC staff attorneys Thursday under cross-examination. The utility executive said the "new day" will arrive over the next 27 months when the com- pany will have half its gener- ating capacity in nuclear pow- er. Moore vrged toe SCC not to decide the case on the ex- pectation that Vepco and the Old Dominion Electric Coopera- tive would soon reach agree- ment on a sale of generating capacity by the utility.

Previous testimony in the rate case indicated the utility's financing problems could be eased if it could sell part of Its system to Old Dominion, which is an affiliation of 13 electric cooperatives in the state. Moore said even if agreement could be reached it would re- quire approval of five regu- latory agencies. "With all the diligence in the world it would be impossble, in my judgment, to complete all these steps and obtain the funds within the firs year dur- ing which the rates resulting from this proceeding are effec- tive," Moore said. Mackethan was appointed re- ceiver and instituted suits against former officers of the company and against other in- dividuals and companies that had connections with the firm. Last winter in Bryan's court the receiver received awards of $2 million against Landmark Communications, parent firm of the Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Sta newspapers, and $4 millionagainst Virginia Nation- al Bank.

Shortly after the verdicts, Landmark, Virginia National and five former Norfolk Sav- ings directors who had been sued agreed to settle with Mackethan for a lump amount of $6.6 million. Bryan wrote Wednesday in his affirmation of the $1.1 mil- lion award that there is no way "to apportion the verdicts or the settlement payments, or all of them, so that it can be mined whether there is an overlapping of recoveries." Mackethan earlier this month made the first partial payment of recovered money to depos- itors. Several former high officials the industrial loan company were convicted of criminal charges in federal court trials in Richmond last year. HOLIDAY INN RESTAURANT is pleased to invite i MRS.

It NEVER solves a To the contrary, bitterness invariably results in inability to cope with other problems that us.

It is harmful and wrong to wail, "What has happened to me is not fair or my fault. I can not live with myself after this misfortune." It is helpful and better to say. "Though 1 don't like it. I have to and will accept what happened. What is done can not be undone, must face life for what it is," In every true life situation we must be able to live with our- selves, despite bad breaks or faults of others.

Bitterness is only superficial relief, if indeed it is even that.
