justment of the automobile situation will
be reached.

for the establishment of reciprocal rela-
tons fail and the District authorities at
tempt to enforce against Virginia the re-
quirements of the new automobile regu-
lations adopted by the Commissioners, II
will be his policy. as commemorative at
torney for Alexandria county to rigidly
enforce the laws of Virginia against
Commissioner Rudolph, who wrote 10
Gov. Mann last week urging the recipro-
cal agreement plan, has not received a
reply to his letter. Mr. Rudolph yester-
day sent a communication to Representa-
tive Linthicum of Maryland. stating that
the Commissioners do not intend to make
any changes in the regulations governing
motor vehicles which Maryland residents
have complained of as being an injustice.
