LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec, 6-Jas.
b. Mcnamara and John j. McNama-
ra have not been removed to the
penitentiary yet TO begin serving the
sentence, because of the lndecision as
to whether they will be called to tes-
tify before the grand jury.
The McNamara's status are admit
ted felons and the improbability that
they would implicate others before
the grand jury is a cause for hesita-

them.

TRADE ASSN

Insists Jersey Should Recipro-
cate With New York in
License Courtesy.

The New Jersey Automobile Trade
Association, which has hitherto held
itself aloof from the wrangles incl
dental to. the administration of the
present New Jersey automobile law,
today came out squarely against the
of motor vehicles, and in a series of
resolutions requested hin to recede
from a position which the association
believes is inimical not only to the best
interests of automobiling, but of the
State OF New Jersey at large. The res
olutions, which were unanimously
passed at a meeting of the trade asso-
citation. are as follows:
Resolved, That in view Of the fact
that New York State has for all past
years since a~utomobiling began Ithis
present year e~xcepted) permitted all
residents of New Jersey to enter and
use her hundreds of miles of improved
roads with the same freedom as her
own citizens, provided only that thaJ

compelled her New York's) residents
to submit to many indignities and to
pay a tax, n the further fact that

the free use of her roads to citizens of
New Jersey should New Jersey grant
her citizens the same privileges. 1t is
the unanimous opinion OF the New Jer-
sey Automobile Trade Association that
the actioH of the commissioners of
motor vehicles, Mr.. ]. B. r. Smith. in
withdrawing from residents of New
York the slight privilege which our
State law comedies them now, shows a
feeling of resentment which one State
of the Union should not show to an
other, and Is, in our opinion, very bad
Judgment; and it is further
Resolved, That the general principle
OF serving notice on residents of New
York, Pennsylvania and Delaware in
effect that they are not welcome to our
State Is going to do the manufacturing,
hotel. real estate and all other business
interests of New Jersey untold injury
which will take years to make up for,
in addition to giving our State a repu-
tation for .narrowness of which she is
not deserving.
1T Is further resolved, That a set of
these resolutions be, forwarded to Com
missioner ]. B. r. Smith with the re-
quest that he Immediately reconsider
his action"
The New Jersey Automobile Trade
Association, which is composed of the
Heading dealers OF the State, stands
committed to the policy set forth, and,
1t is understood, will wage a vigorous
campaign for the reestablishment of the
eightsday touring privileges to non
resident motorists such as the New
Jersey law provides, but which Com
missioner Smith has abrogated in the
case of certain States.
