Parked Cars Make Capital
Like a sOne.HOrse Town
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t appears from the letter that you
published from Mr.. Metcalfe that he
must come from a one-horse town. The
old wrecks parked all over the Capital
are a great joke all over the United
States. Oh yes. the Capital IS a Won
derful city! The first sight that greets
your eyes is lot of old cars as far
as you can see. "Why, our little city
OF San Antonio, Tex, has far better
traffic laws than the wonderful Capital
of the United Statesi" These are the
remarks that one hears on the Mexican
border. Inasmuch as the District of
Columbia allows all this mess of car
garaging on the streets, why not let us
demand from the District free garages
to store our cars in, leaving the streets
open to drive our cars with less fear
and far fewer accidents?

Kitchen, 1913 South Meridian street,
Sbld legal 80 beer at his restaurant
without purchasing state license.
Publicity given ruling Friday by

Il sold beer last night and this
morning-in fact 1 sold one case to
one man. I'm selling it openly.
This isn't speakeasy. And I'm 60
ing to continue to sell it," Levy
said.
Competition in the restaurant
line and his inability to pay the
high license fee demanded by the
state, resulted in Levy's determine
ton to follow Bakers ruling and
flout the law.
They know where they can come
and get me if they want me. I've
talked to prohibition department
officials of the government, and they
said they wouldn't bother me-" Levy

Z. S. Urges
World Truce
on Tariffs
Proposal Is Made to Organ
ling Committee of
Economic Farley.

81 { Hftfn BffSS
LONDON, April 29-The United
States took the lead in proposing a
world tariff truce today when Nor
man Davis, American ambassador
at-large," proposed to the organiz-
ing committee of the world econo-
mic conference that the nations in
vited be informed that this country
advocated economic armistice.
The committee summoned the
conference to meet at London June
II, and agreed to inform the fifty
four nations who will gather here
of the American proposals.
King George personally will open
the conference, it was announced by
Sir John Simon, British foreign
secretary.
The suggested truce would involve
prohibition of dumping, and ex-
port bountieS.
Davis told the United Press that
the committee members appeared
pleased with the announcement of
the American proposal, of which
several apparently were aware in
advance.
Two or three seemed surprised
he added but he did not reveal who
they were.
The committee evidently shelved
the additional United States pro-
posal that it recommend a temper
airy economic truce pending convo-
cation of the conference. Several
members are understood to have
opposed this suggestion.
