The appearance of the Vienna Boys

"If the purpose be the exploitation

Other cases in which Prettyman ex-

Gardner and secured a divorce from
him by fraud in July, 1927, in David

NEW RESIDENTS
FACING TAG JAM
Arrest, Possible Denial Of
Car, Seen in State
License Misuse.

Immediate arrest and possible loss
Of use of their automobiles after jan
uary face thousands of new Govern
ment employees who have come to
Washington to take jobs in emergency
bureaus, TRAFFIC Director Van Duzer
warned today as he requested the
Police Department to round up all
workers still using tags issued by the
States whence they came.
Van DuZer pointed out that traffic
regulations require all new residents
to apply for District titles, tags ana
drivers permits within ~ hours after
arrival Thousands of the new Gov
ernment workers, he said, have failed
to comply.
Not only are these employees sub
ject to arrest, Van Duzer declared,
but they probably will be unable to
procure 1885 tags before January /,
the deadline for the use of 1884 tags.
Van DuZer at the same time urged
District car owners who have complied
with all requirements and have re-
ceived applications for 1885 tags to
take advantage of the mailing system
and avoid congestion at the traffic de-
partment Those who want tags de-
livered by mail, he said, should add
10 cents for postage to the checks or
money orders sent to cover the per-
sonal property tax and the tag fee.
Many of the new Government work.
liberately procrastinated in applying
for 1884 District tags. hoping to use
the State tags until the end of the
year. But the Traffic Department is
determined to block such a plan.
