Photos By Underwood Z Underwood

Another extension Of time for use
of 1925 automobile tags was recon-
mended to the District Commission
ers today by Superintendent of
Licenses Wade III. C6ombs as . re-
suit of the continued delay by the
District in securing 1927 tags. Traf.
fic Director M. o. E.dridge, who will
approve a recommendation that the
time be extended to March /, and
that all States east of the Mississippi
River be notified.
This Is the third extension as a
result of the Districts contract for
1927 tage. The latest came today
when Coombs received word from
James T. Igoe. Chicago manufac-
turer, that the contract win not be
completed until February is and
the tags will not arrive here at the
earliest until about February Is.
Igoe said one carload of about
1900 tags should arrive here next
week.
There are now about 10000 cars
without 1927 tags, Coombs esti-
mated today.

HEAD EYs'TO Be GIVEN
AGAIN
WAS DENOTED
BY. FENN|NG

The District Commissioners have
promised to restore Capt. Albert J.
Headley to his former rank a.
Police Inspector, Representative
Thomas L. Blanton Of Texas, re.
ported to the House today.
Blanton declared that the Com.
missioners have entered into a gen.
tlemen's agreement with the House
District Committee to restore Head,
ley.
''It is the opinion Of the Com,
mittee," Blanton reported ''that the
inexcusabla wrong and iniustices
heretofore done former Inspector
Headley, by Former Commissioners
Fenning, who, because of baseless
malice, denoted the said Headley
from inspector to captain, should
be promptly rectified."
Blanton stated that legislation
providing for the restoration of
Hsadley had been eliminated from
his bill to consolidate the Metro.
politan and Park Police forces.
The section was eliminated, BIan.
ton declared, solely because of the
promise Of the Commissioners "to
right this wrong" and restore In.
spector Headley to his former rank
without specific legislation.

KEEP BELL HERE
CAPPER URGES

Lieut.. Col. J. Franklin Bell is
called probably the best engineer
commissioner the District has ever
had" in a communication sent to-
day by Senator Capper, chairman of
the Senate District Committee, to
Senator Wadsworth, chairman Of
the Military Affairs Committee.
The purpose OF the communica.
ton is to persuade Senator Wads.
worth and his associates that Col.
Bells services to the District are
virtually indispensable" at the
present time.
Both of the District Commission
ers are comparatively new on the
job, the letter points out and Col.
Bells services on the new Public
Utilities Commission are required
because Of his familiarity with local
utility problems.
The Military Affairs Committee
probably will consider favorably tho
bill permitting Colonel Bell to stay
as Engineer Commissioner at its
meeting tomorrow. If the measure
is not passed before Congress adj
iourns Colonel Bells term will end
in July.

The District Commissioners have
made no agreement with the House
District Committee to reinstate
Capt. Albert J. Headly to the rank
Of inspector, Commissioners Proctor
L. Dougherty, in charge Of the

Representative Blanton asked me

Although Headley is in lire for
a promotion the same as the other

foot in the District Building to re.
instate him." Commissioner Dough.

He admitted, however, that there
is q little pressure from the Capitol
