fictitious tag" war virtually at an
end, battle now loows between the
District of Columbia and the State
of Maryland over the automobile
reciprocity agreement which may
terminate in the Supreme Court of
the United States.
This is the outcome of the de-
cision Of Judge Samuel Riggs in

which would compel every Wash

Maryland, regardless of the time he
spends in that State, to buy a

officials say if this decision is al
lowed to stand it will cost a great
deal of money to thousands Of
bona fide residents of the District
and will go a long way to upset
the entire principle of reciprocity
between the State of Maryland and
the District of Columbia.
Sheriff Clay Plummer's drive
against Maryland residents using
District automobile licenses resulted
in the arrest of 172 persons during
the past week and much of this

the cases in the Rockville police
