SENATE D|SAGREES
TO TRAFFIC REPORT
Capper Sends Bill Back to
Conference in Hope of
Final Compromise.

The Senate today disagreed ~ the
conference report on the traffic bill
and sent IL back for further confer
ence with the House managers In the
hope Of inserting new amendments to
meet the objections Of certain Sena-
tors who blocked action on the report
yesterday and Tuesday.
Fearing that he would be unable 10
get the bill through in it's present
form and realizing the importance Of
the measure with respect To the re-
newal of operator permits. Chairman
Capper Of the District committee
asked the Senate when it met today
to send the bill back to the conferees.
Two Amendments Considered.
1t Is understood that Senator Cap
per will suggest two amendments To
overcome the Senate objections. one
would provide that nothing in the
bill should be construed To Interfere
with the right OF trial by jury and
the other would place a limitation on
the power given the traffic director 10
suspend operators permits.
The proposal under consideration
sets forth that If the person whose
permit is 10 be suspended by the
traffic director serves notice iamedi-
ately of an intention to appeal 70 the
District commissioners, the or
der of suspension would not become
effective pending such appeal
AT present permits can he revoked
only following conviction on certain
serious charges. The bill in Tvs pres.
ent form would give the director fur
Their authority TO suspend permits
pending trial. and in other cases
where the public interest would max"
such action desirable.
Senator Couzens az Michigan took
exception In this provision on the
ground that il gave too much dis
cretionary power to one official and
Senator Reed az Missouri and Sen
ator Bease of South Carolina alSo
had opposed the conference report he
cause OF feelin. that the right Of
trial by jury would he Curtailed 10y
the suspension of permits in advance.
In its present form, the bill would
grant 10 the motorists the right 10
apply to the District Court of APP
peals for a writ of error when his per
nit is suspended. but such appeal
would not act as a stay a@dins- the
suspe nsion.
Senator Reed took the position yes
terday that there WAS II" assurance
that such appeals could De- acted
on within short time and the amend
ment now being considered would
give the motOriSt the added advan-
taee Of an appeal I" the commission
ers and the right to retain mis- permit
pending such appeal.
Senator Capper hopes I" have Il
meetin. of the confereeS iinmediatelN
in an effort 10 have the hill enacted
before adjournment.
