Supreme Court Holds Reel
procity Does Not Cover
Revoked Permits.
DECISION REVERSES
APPEALS BODY RULING
Commissioners, in Asking Review
Urged Protection for Resi-
dents of District.

Motorists whose drivers permits are
revoked in the District ere subject to
prosecution for operating an automobile
in Washington under Virginia license
during the period covered by the re-
voked District permit, the Supreme
Court held today in reversing a ruling
of the District Court of Appeals.
The decision regarded of far-reach-
ing importance by traffic authorities
was based on the case of Charles H.
Fred, a former resident of the District
whose drivers permit was revoked in
December, 1926.
Arrested Here on Virginia Tags.
Fred later became a resident of Vir-
a registration card by Virginia, author
izing him to operate motor vehicle in
that State. The following month he
was arrested in Washington while
operating car bearing Virginia tags.
Fred was subsequently convicted in
Police Court on charge of violating
the District traffic code. Later the
Court of Appeals held that under the
recipocrity agreement with Virginia he
was entitled to Drive an automobile in
the District while holding a Virginia
permit.
Asked Protection for d. C. Residents
Because of the drastic effect of the
decision, the Commissioners asked the
Supreme Court to pass upon the con-
troversy.
In the appeal for review the Com
missioners declared that should the de-
cision of the appellate court be per-
mitted to stand, residents of the Dis
trdct would have no protection for
their own safety or the safety of their
property. Regardless of the offense
committed against the Districts traffic
laws, the Commissioners commended
persons whose permits are revoked could
"step over the line into Virginia or any
other State, and by registering their
vehicles and obtaining permits. could
return and drive with immunity in
