Policeman Halts Green
Dramatist Gets Vigorous Call-DOwn
from an Officer in Capital

When Paul Green and Lamar
Struggled left Baltimore last
Saturday morning, on the sec
ond days lap of their trip home
from New York, Mr.. String
field was driving. The traffic
/ was heavy and they did not
make good time. At Washing
ton Mr.. Green said: Let me
take that wheel, and we'll 60
home
They were rolling along one
Of the capitals broad thorough
fares with not d car or a pedes-
trian in sight. But they were
still in the city, and the drama
tist controlled his impulse to get
ahead. At least, he thought he
did; ne was going slow accord
ing to North Carolina standards.
Look out for the cop" his
companion cautioned him; and
a moment later a policeman
drew alongside and commanded
the travellers to draw up at the
curb. The officer CHARGED that
the car was moving at 32 miles
an hour. Mr.. Green admitted to
80.
Where do YOU come from,
anyways asked the officer stern
ly. North Carolina" replied
Mr.. Green. There ensued a SER
les Of questions and answers
about rural and urban speed
limits in this state and severe
lecture from the officer upon the
ignorance, impudence, and gen
eral cussedness Of strangers who
thought they could come to
Washington and tear up and
down the streets like madmen.
Mr.. Green's remarks We're
characterized by meekness, and
the policeman, after threats Of
an arrest and heavy fine, decid-
ed to let the two rubes go on.
The colloquy mad robbed the
dramatist Of all his enthusiasm
for a speedy return home, and
