day morning to answer a charge of
driving with Fictitious tags" The
police shifted their base of operations
today to Connecticut avenue, Just on
the Maryland District border, north of
Chevy Chase Circle. The blockade
was put into effect about $50 O'Clock
this morning and was not lifted until
9:15. when the officers were forced tC
leave their posts to appear in court
against some of the offenders caught
in the opening days of the drive.
Pickings were poor for the police
until about SIS o'clock, when the
crush of city bound traffic was at ito
height From that time until 9
O'Clock, about 25 motorists We're
caught in the net.
Cause Delay to Others.
Although only five officers formed
the Gordon about the District line. al
cars lined up at the curb for exami-
nation during the rush. The CON
gestion delayed the inbound traffic
and undoubtedly caused many of the
drivers to be late in reporting to their
offices.
County Officer d. c. Cndham was
stationed in the center of the south
bound road just north of the bound,
AIRY line and shunted all cars headed
toward the city with District tags to
the curb. Four other officers, Z. H.
Burdine. Roy Bodmer, Guy Jones and
Leroy Snyder, quiZzed the operators
and gave them court summons.
"Alibi artists dominated among
those caught in the drive. 4 few,
however, seemed to have anticipated
being caught and offered no protest
a majority of the alibis hinged on the
ignorance of Maryland's regulations
governing automobile reciprocity,
which allow only l. days for a visiting
car to remain in the State.
One Lives in Baltimore.
One of the drivers halted this morn
ing admitted to the officers that he
lived in Baltimore, but was using Dis
trict tags. Another had Virginia tags.
although he lived in Maryland. Vir.
tually all of the others, however, re-
sided in Chevy Chase and vicinity.
The Maryland authorities have de-
cided to continue the drive relentlessly
until the car of every resident in the
county carries a Maryland tag. The
police, it is understood, will be sta
toned Monday morning at the Con-
iuit road entrance to the District
