z|ONCHECK RIGHT
TO DRIVE SECURE
Police Can't Withhold Right
of Nonresident Motorist,
Van Duzer Says.

Apparently Representative Marion F.
Zioncheck of Washington won't have
to 60 through with his threat to buy
horse and buggy as result of his
arrest Saturday on speeding charges.
District Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer said today that even if
Zioncheck is convicted in Police Court
tomorrow on a charge of speeding 10
miles an hour out Connecticut avenue,
the Traffic Bureau cannot take away
his driving privileges.
It cannot revoke his District permit,
for he has none and as for depriving
the Washington Representative of his
right to drive in the District, Van
Duzer says that, too, is impossible
under present laws. However, a bill
giving the Traffic Bureau power to
prohibit nonresident motorist from
operating car in the District, under
the same conditions in which a resi-
dent motorist would have his driving
permit revoked, now is before Congress
and has been passed by the Senate,
Van Duzer explained.
Zioncheck said facetiously today
that if he were deprived of the right
to drive in the District, he probably
would get horse and buggy.
THE Washington police are pretty
lousy, but they're all-powerful, you
know" he asserted, land they may
be able to crowd me back to the
horse-andbuggy era"
Asked if he was going to appear in
Police Court tomorrow for his sched-
uled hearing. Zioncheck remarked:
Police Court? What do you mean?
I no spika da English. Speeding? I
don't know what you mean.
II understand there has been some
thing in the papers about such case,
but I know nothing about it because
I can't read. Sure, I have an auto
mobile, but when you ask if it was
me in the car-why, I'll have to tell
you, I no spika da Erglish!"
The usual procedure since the
safety drive has been in progress is
for permits to be revoked on convic-
ton Of speeding so miles an hour or
more.

Suggesting that the national Or

remarked
"Epistles to Congress, unless there
are votes behind them, are so much

wasted. Fortunately, however, there

WASHINGTON, May 81. (UP),
Representative Samuel Dickstein
D., N. Y, last night urged a con-
gressional investigation of the
"un-Ameriean'' Black Legion to
ascertain it's real purpose and
whether it has any international
connections"
Dickstein said the Black Legion,
whose terroristic activities were
revealed in Michigan, and similar
organizations should be "thor,
oughly investigated in order that
the American people may know
whether or not they are in fact
the American ends of European
subversive organizations"
The New York congressman is
chairman of the house immigra-
ton committee and was vice
chairman of a special committee
which conducted a short investi-
cation into "un-American" activl,
ties last year. He said that in
curry was not complete because
of limited funds.
He added that it would be in
teresting to ascertain" if there
was any connection between the
Black Legion and a group known
as the "Black Shirts" which came
to. the attention of the investlga'
tors last year as operating in Col,
