RUDY VALLEE ROW
ENDED IN DRAW
Crooner Quits Scandals After
Ruling Against White
on Contract.
BY the Associated Press.

by inc ASSOCldteQ HIeSS.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The dis
pute between Rudy Vallee and George
White, which flared into fisticuffs the
other night, ended officially today, and
both sides apparently were satisfied
with the outcome.
For one thing, Rudy was out of the
Scandals" which White greatly de-
sired.
On the other hand, Rudy had an
official ruling that White could not
thro,. him out of the show, which is
all that Rudy wanted.
1t seems that after the rumpus on
the stage of the New Amsterdam The
ater earlier in the week, when White
landed a few blows on Vallee because
the band leader called him an un-
printable name, White decided he was
going to end Vallee's connection with
the Scandals
The matter was placed before three
arbitrators named by the American
Arbitration tribunal.
They considered the whole thing
and then announced their decision,
to wit:
That the "clash Of Temperament"
between the two was not sufficient to
warrant the termination of the con-
tract by White.
That was enough to satisfy Vallee,
and the band leader then obliged
Producer White by making the fol-
lowing announcement today:
"Now that the arbitrators OF the
American Arbitration Tribunal have
decided in my favor, do not care to
continue in the Scandals"
Rudy's name is no longer in lights
in front of the New Amsterdam The
ater."

Seeing he was followed, the driver
of the sedan speeded up and, after
few blocks, turned on the smoke
screen. The liquor car took corners
at high speed, threw off clouds OF
smoke at intervals and its occupants
exchanged bullets with the chasing
officers, but the scout car kept pace.
The end of the chase came shortly
after the fleeing sedan, pierced sew

and struck tree. The driver righted

REAL EMERGENCY
HELD LACKING AS
BASIS FOR ACTION
View to Be Appealed in Ef.
fort to Make Valid D. c.
Regulation.
1900 SIMILAR DRIVERS
INVOLVED IN DECISION,
Several Thousand Tickets at
Stake-Defnition of Term
Emergency" Stressed.

In a memorandum opinion today,
Police Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt
held that where no actual emergency
exists, the Commissioners are without
authority to declare emergency no.
parking zones.
The opinion was delivered in the
case of Charles E. Ford, attorney, who
contested the right of District police
to tag his automobile because it was
parked in violation of a snow-removal
regulation. The regulation, which ex-
pired 81 days ago, prohibited parking
on certain main thoroughfareS between
2 and 8 am. to facilitate removal of
snow from January to March /.
More than 1900 similar cases have
been delayed pending the decision on
the constitutionality of the regulations.
After a conference between Vernon
West, acting corporation counsel, and
George D. Nelson, his assistant, it
was decided Judge Schuldt erred in
the decision, and the pending charges
would be pressed and carried to the
District Court of Appeals, if necessary,
to establish validity of the regulation.
No Snow on Ground.
Evidence at Fords trial early in
January was to the effect no snow was
on the ground at any of the four times
ticket was placed on his car on
Sixteenth street. Ford contended
there could be no violation of an
emergency regulation unless an actual
emergency existed at the time.
Since the case has been pending
automobile associations have advised
members to post collateral. but not to
appear in court until the test case was
decided. This resulted in an accumu-
lation of parking tickets which involve
several thousand dollars.
Text of Opinion.
Judge Schuldts opinion reads:
While there is no doubt of the au-
thority of the Commissioners to pro-
mulgate regulations to prohibit park
ing, the fact that these were predicated
upon an emergency, and the signs
specifically so stated, the testimony de-
veloped that no emergency existed in
the present case. An emergency is a
present condition calling for immediate
action. The emergency contemplated
by the regulation was in future.
''The motion to dismiss is therefore
accordingly granted"
Judge Schuldt is to be succeeded
on the Police Court bench next week
by Edward M. Curran.
1t was Ford's second attempt to test
the right of the Commissioners to
promulgate such regulations. He
fought four cases in Police Court dur
ing the Winter of 1e34-35, but no de-
cision was reached. He was repre-
sented in the latest case by Attorney
Joseph Donohue.
Nelson announced that when SINH
lar cases are brought before some
other judge in the Police Court, he
will ask that the information be
quashed rather than dismissed in case
there is no chance for a conviction.
In this way, case can be carried to
the appellate court. There is no ap-
peal from a dismissal in Police Court.
