COUNT SZECHENYI MAY
BE HUNGARIAN MINISTER
Husband of Gladys M. Vanderbilt
Would Be Acceptable to
the United States.

Hungary is preparing to name
Count LaszIo Szechenyi. who in 1905
married Gladys NJ. Vanderbilt of New
York. as its new minister to Wash
ington.
Count Szechenyi's name was sub
mitted for the approval of the Ameri-
can government some time ago. and
it is understood his appointment will
in every way be acceptable.
Hungary has not been represented
officially in Washington since the en-
trance of the United States into the
world war. and the projected resump-
ton of diplomatic relations followed
the exchange of treaty ratification
between this country and Hungary at
Budapest several days ago.
Press dispatches from Budapest
late in October said Count Szechenyi
would be designated as minister to
! Wa ashinEtou, but it was reported sew
eral days later that the count had de-
clined the place.

RENT Commission
Landlord Charges Unconsti-
tutionaIity and Exceeded
Authority.

George II. Linkins. owner of prem
ises 307 S street northeast. and 219 T
street northeast. today asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court for an injunction
to prevent A. L4ftwich Sinclair. Clara
S. Taylor and William F. Guide from
attempting to act as A rent commits
sion of the District of Columbia and
from proceeding with a threatened
hearing. on their own initiative, con-
cerning the fairness of the rentals in
these two apartments.
The hearing is scheduled for next
Tuesday, and Justice Bailey directed
counsel for the plaintiff to serve no.
tice on the defendants that he would
hear the application for a temporary
injunction next Tuesday.
Mr.. Linkins attacks the commission
from some new angles. He points out
that the anne nding act. passed August
"A last. failed to provide for the con-
tinuance of a commission and did not
set any term of Office for such COM
mission.
Appointment by the President did
not cure this defect, he asserts. The
amending act Is also attacked as un-
constitutional because it exempts
business property from its provision
and thereby becomes class legislation,
it Is claimed. When the continuing
act was passed there did not exist any
emergency such as made necessary
the original act, the plaintiff declares.
Claims Authority Exceeded.
The claim is also made that the
commission even under the original
act has no authority to interfere with
contractural relations between land
lords and tenants where no COM
plant has been made either by the
landlord or the tenant. II they have
such authority, it is asserted. the
rent commission in this case has not
complied with section III requiring
the commission to ask the owner for
plats and data before beginning any
Investigation as to the fairness of
rentals.
Attorney R. A. Ford and c. c. Allen
appear for the plaintiff.

OYSTER APPROVES
N0-PARK|NG AREAS
Indorses Plan for 20-Foot
Spaces at Corners for
Loading Machines.

Commissioner Oyster. who super
vises traffic problems. today voiced
approval of the plan to lay off twen-
ty-foot spaces at all corners in the
congcsted section to be kept free at
all times for machines TO load or un-
load passengers or merchandise.
This plan was one of the principal
recommendations of the citizens COM
mittee appointed by the Commission
ers to study the parking problem and
devise some means Of meeting the
protest of merchants. who complained
that parking of automobiles for long
periods on main thoroughfares in
terfercd with business.
Spaces to ne Kept Open.
The committee recommended that
on all streets where parking is per-
mitted a twenty-foot space be mark
ed off at each corner, where parking
would not be permitted. In blocks of
more than 200 feet in length an ad-
ditional thirty-foot space should be
kept open halfway between corners
the committee reported.
That has been my idea for some
time" said Capt. oyster. "and 1 am
glad the committee included it in its
report. Right now the Commission
ers are too busy at the Capitol to
consider the parking question. but as
soon as time permits. we intend to
digest carefully the findings of the
committee and make whatever
changes in the regulations seem best
IF. after a fair trial, the changes
, should prove unwise, l am sure the
Commissioners will reconsider the
question"
Quotes Merchants.
Commissioner Rudolph said he had
not had an opportunity. because OF
hearings at the Capitol. to study the
report. He said. however, that he
had heard objection voiced by some
! merchants to the proposal to pro-
| hibit parking in front of churches
theaters and clubs and at the same
! time allow parking in front of busi-
ness establishments.
