ALL DRIVERS bound
BY TRAFFIC LAWS
U. S. Chauffeurs Not Ex-
empted, Appeals Court Rules
in Traffic Case.

Chauffeurs in the employ Of the
United States Government are bound
by the traffic regulations. Justice
Robb of the District Court OF APP
peals so held today when he upheld
the action of the Police Court In con-
victing Louis NJ. Croson. who failed
to exhibit his driving permit while oper-
ating Government-owned machine
April I. 1922.
The Court of Appeals declares that
the authority OF Congress as the
legislature of this District1s plenary
and the case at bar is not one of
conflicting jurisdiction between the
District and United States Govern
ment. but one involving tho intent
of the sole legislative body.
Congress, ii Is pointed out, has au-
thorized the making of traffic regula-
tions. and the police regulations re-
qutre the issuance of permits TO oper-
ative motor vehicles, and that the
failure of driver to exhibit such
permit, when required. shall be .un-
ishable.
Intent OF Congrcea Outlined.
An examination of the intent of
Congress in traffic legislation, Justice
Robb says, shows 1t Is to make its
provisions "all-embracing except as
otherwise specified" 1t requires that
motor vehicles owned and maintained
In the District by the United States
or the District government should be
registered and carry Identification
tags, but that no fees should be ex-
acted for such registration and tags
One evident purpose" says Justice
Robb. of the act was to make 1t
possible to identify traffic law vio-
lators. and 1t Is clear, we think, that
to have excluded this large class Of
vehicles government owned) would
have frustrated to considerable de-
gree the purpose indicated.
, Moreover It was the view Of Con-
gress that a special provision was
necessary to effect the exemption of
this class Of vehicles from the pay
ment of fees for registration and
tags"
While Congress has not enacted
legislation directly dealing with the
issuance of permits, the court de-
clared. there can be no doubt of the
authority of the Commissioners to
promuisate regulations relating
thereto under their general powers
Such regulation undoubtedly is rea-
sonably necessary" says Justice
Robb. "for public protection, Indeed
IN view of conditions tudiciallv
known to exist in the District Of Co
lumhia.'ft nIishtbe suggested that the
regulations are less drastic than the
situation demands"
AS Congress has made no provision
excluding drivers of Government
owned cars from the requirements Of
the police regulations respecting per-
mits, we think the conclusion ire
sistlnIe that, such driveres are not
exempt. declares Justice Robb. In
conclusion the justice states:
1t Is even more important, in orr
view, that the drivers of all vehicles
within the. District should satisfy
the requirements Of the traffic reeu-
lations as, to their qualifications to
operate motor vehicles than that
those vehicles should be registered
and carry Identification tags. The
vehicles are dangerous only when
driven and unless all drivers are to
be subject to these reasonable reru.
iations there can be no real protec-
ton to the public"

STATIC PROBLEM HARD.
Picture Transmission Rendered
Difficult by Fading.

By Consolidated Press.
NEW YORK, December What to
do about static? That Is the question
troubling officials of the Radio Cor
poration of America, who succeeded
in transmitting photographs across
the sea between London and New
York Sunday.
With the success OF the demonstra-
tion unchallenged. perfection looms
far away. Pictures are sent between
two stations, one to transmit, the
other to receive, each dot and dash at
exactly the same rate OF speed, after
the fashion in which a half-tone re-
production is made. While the small
pen, by minute dots and short faint
lines, traces with fair accuracy the
picture held In London. each fraction
of a second in which static was ex-
perienced caused an empty void to
appear at that part of the face OF the
photographed person which the in
Struments were then reproducing. =
A continued spell of static would
make impossible the sending of any
photograph at all. -
Fading Means Failure.
Various difficulties experienced in
sending messages and programs by
radio attend the sending Of photo
graphs. Fading, when signals become
indistinct. due to ether conditions,
spells failure to the receiving instru-
ment, which cannot pick up the dots
and dashes which make the photo
graph on the air.
Last June when the transmission Of
photographs, by telephone was dem
onstrated at the Republican, conven-
tion at Cleveland, one point was made
clear. Absolute privacy was insured.
Because telephone wire connects
only two points, the picture could be
received by only the person to whom
it was sent.
No Privacy Assured.
Radio transmission of photographs
presents new phase which may be
an advantage or a trern endous handi-
cap Because radio waves are not di-
rectional, because they have no dis
tance limit except as the power Of
the receiving set determines how far
away they can be received. people in
any section Of the country equipped
with the proper instruments could
pick up a photograph sent to a par
ticuiar person.
Although the radio corporation has
no license to send its radio message
except over the sea, It cannot stop in
New York a picture that has been
sent from London. That picture can
go beyond, If there are instruments
to receive 1t.

EVACUATION QUIET.
Egyptian Troops Quitting Sudan
Without Disorder.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. December AL reports
from the Sudan reaching London to-
day indicate the situation there Is
quiet and that the evacuation of the
Egyptian troops is proceeding stead
lily without incident.
Egypt has agreed 10 the outstand-
ing terms. previously unaccepted,
which were laid down after the
assassination of the sirdar. Sir Lee
Stack. Messages to this effect, 1t is
learned from authoritative sources,
have been received from Lord Allen
by, British high commissioner in Egypt:
tThe demands TO which the Egyp-
ttan government at first refused to
accede were that all Egyptian officers
and purely Egyptian units of the
Egyptian army be Withdrawn from
the Sudan; thft an increase In irri-
cation be permitted in the Sudan.
and that opposition cease to British
wishes concerning protection OF for
eign interests in Egypt. After the
tiles themse YES ordered the Egyptian
troops to evacuate the Sudan and
some OF them have left.)
Situation Quiet.
The situation both In Egypt and
tIlt CONTINUES Qulet, dCtOIQIuS
to the latest reports from newspaper
correspondents, whose dispatches I'M
ply that further trouble in the Sudan,
at any rate, is improbable.
The munity of a small body of
troops in the 11th Sudanese Bat
talon is generally ascribed directly
TO the influence brought to bear on
the men by their officers acting in
behalf of Egyptian propagandists.
The full extent Of the casualties
among the mutineers. suffered during
their fighting with the British appsr-
emily will not be established until the
ruins Of the building in which they
barricaded themselves are cleared
away, but some reports indicate that
only about a score lie under the
debris.
"a Cairo dispatch on Saturday
said one officer and II men OF the
mutineers were believed to have been
killed, the remainder surrendering,
with the exception of a small number
who were being rounded up by the
police. An official communique showed
that two British officers, one British
physician and two Syrian physicians
were killed and nine men of the ranks
wounded.)
Agreement Reached.
The Cairo correspondent OF the
Daily Express understands that an
agreement has been reached by which
the British troops will be withdrawn
from the Alexandria customs house.
which they recently occupied. This,
he adds. would seem to indicate con-
fidence in the willingness and ability
of the new premier, Ziwar Pasha. to
hold down the extremists and fulfill
the British terms.
A message received today says the
Cairo schools. in which the students
have been on strike, are reopening
and that the situation Is quiet in
both Cairo and Alexandria.
There is no prospect of further dis
orders, this message asserts.
