PARKING PLANS
PROPOSED At
MEETING
AutomotiVe Trade Association
Discusses Methods to
Solve Problem.

Plans for solving Washington 8
downtown parking problem were
made today at a meeting of the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation at the City Club. All
schemes advanced were aimed at
making it easier for automobilists
to shop in the congested area with
out having to park many blocks
from the stores where they in
tend to shop.
President Paul B. Lum declares
that if half as much time were
given to experimenting with solu-
tions as is consumed in complain
ing about the difficulty of park
ing, Washington motorists and
merchants would not be conscious
of a parking problem.
One proposition outlined by Pres
ident Lum was to give to motor
lists a tag upon which should be
noted the time when the motOrist
parks his car, this tag TO be timed
by the motorist so that the police
would know how long the car hao
been parked 1t was hoped that
in this way it would become al
most an impossibility for park
without being apprehended. Lum
said that if motorists obeyed the
parking rules it would greatly
lessen the congestion in the down
town shopping district.

Opponents of Gas Tax
Bill Would Force Md.
To AdODt Reciprocity

Opposition to the gasoline tax bill
as a means of bringing about auto
mobile reciprocity between the Dis
trict of Columbia and Maryland has
developed in certain quarters at the
acpitol, it was learned today.
This opposition is based upon q
feeling that it is unseemly for Con-
gress to appear to be dictated to by
the Maryland authorities in the mat
ter of granting reciprocity.
Would Force Maryland.
Opponents of the tax provision
feel that Congress can pass legisla-
ton which would compel Maryland
to grant full reciprocity as mat
ter of common courtesy without
imposing a gasoline tax upon Dis
trict motorists. They would penalize
Maryland in case of failure to COM
ply with this form Of courtesy ex-
tended by every other State, by
withdrawing all Federal roads aid.
Congressman Stuart F. Reed of
West Virginia, chairman of the
House District Committee, declared
that he is confident this opposition
will not materially affect the pas
sage of the gasoline tax bill. He ex-
poets that the measure will be ap-
proved by the House District Com
mittee before the Christmas recess
and will be favorably reported to
Congress.
He indicated today that if the or
ganization of the House is completed
that he will call "get together meet
ing" of the District Committee tomor-
row or Wednesday and will attempt
to secure the approval of the tax
bill.
Ball to Ask Approval.
Passage of the two-cent gasoline
tax establishing automobile recipro-
city between the District of Column
bia and Maryland will be asked of
the Senate Wednesday by Senator
Ball, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Senator Ball said today that if the
District Committee favorably re-
ported the bill at its first meeting
Wednesday morning he would call
for its immediate consideration in
the Senate with the expectation of
having the measure enacted by both
houses in advance of the Christmas
holiday.
This would eliminate the neces-
sity of a sixty-day truce between
the District and Maryland and the
purchase of automobile licenses for
the coming year.

FEB. e
Gives District and Maryland
Motorists Access to Roads
on Equal Terms.

Automobile reciprocity, for mo-
florists of Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, was assured
today when Gov. Albert G..
Richie, of Maryland, signed the
proclamation.
The proclamation, providing for
reciprocity, grants to the motor
lists of the two jurisdictions free
access to all public roads from
midnight, December 81, until mid
night, February 20.
Ends Automatically.
Should Congress fail to pass the
necessary legislation authorizing .
gasoline tax in the District, the
proclamation provides that reci-
procity shall automatically cease at
midnight on the last day Of Feb
ruary.
However, each resident OF the
District riding in Maryland must
carry with him at all times when
operating his automobile a regiStra-
ton card similar to those used by
Maryland MOTORISTS The District
autoists must also comply with.
headlight regulations. of Maryland.
Renewal Unlikely.
The Maryland law gives Governor
Ritchie authority to renew his
proclamation or agreement. The
governor does not, however, intend
to continue the reciprocity agree
ment unless Congress passes the
gasoline tax bill for the District.

DUTIES OF CATHOLICS

matters, the Rev. J. Elliot Ross de.
clared in sermon yesterday at the
st. Matthew's Church.
DIR. Ross declared that there was
no ground for the fear that what
Catholics owe to the Pope is ir.

purely political matters, Catholics

And they dug it up with shovels,

When you set down to the table
In your festive bOardin' house,

Hardly interest q mouse.
