PARKING L0TSIA|DE TO NAME
FACE CURBS GOV. LAND0N

Pointing out that pending legis-
lation for specific authority to
regulate parking lots is unlikely to
pass at this session of Congress,
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob
erts recommended today to the
District Commissioners that an
order be drafted under the current
license act by which license fee
would be charged against parking
lot operators.
He also recommended that the
operators be compelled to obtain
occupancy certificates prior to is
suance of the licenses.
Mr.. Roberts commended that if
the recommendation was carried
out it would give the Commission
ers partial control over parking
lots and would serve until the spe-
cific legislation could be enacted.

McMullen maintained that the
advice rendered concerning Sill
verman's transactions was rem
dered because he thought it was
right. and not because he in
tended to extend favorS to Sill
Verman.

the bottom of the list of colonies,
MCMullen was fined $500 by
the court martial. The specific
charge against him in the civil
case was that of lobbying on be-

WAR DECLARED
ON TOWNSEND

House Threatens Trial
Of Any Refusing
to Testify
International News Service

With DR.. Francis E. Townsend
and two Of his aides facing trial
in District Supreme Court on con-
tempt charges, Chairman C. Jas
per Bell CD of Missouri, of the
House old-age pension investigat-
ing committee, today warned that
If other witnesses ignore sum-
monSes they will get some of the
same medicine"
The committee will resume it's
investigation Monday. Plans to
call Sheridan Downey, personal at
torney to the 70-year-old pension
leader, and Edward j. Margett, of
San Francisco, Cal, director of
the Townsend movement for trial.
Downey, who has been sub
lpoened, reiterated his determine
ton to ignore the committee, and
Margett, it was learned, has not
yet been served. A telegram to
the committee signed by George,
Vice United States Marshal" at
San Francisco stated that Margett
lis evading service" Downey said:
"If the committee calls me it
will have to use a braZen voice
for I'm flying to California to-
day to open my congressional
campaign. I'll follow the same
course as DIR. Townsend and I
hope the committee decides l
hold 1t in contempt"
Downey, who has declared for
the seat held by Representative
Buck CD added:
"The House didn't have the
courage to face the votes of
Townsend supporters by trying
DR.. Townsend. If the matter
ever comes to trial, which /
doubt, it won't be until after the
elections. This was the out the
House was looking for in not
trying the case now. 1t would
have been pretty embarrassing
to the Administration and so
they raiIroaded it through with
out even a record vote"
BYRNS EXPLAINS
Speaker Byrns explained the
House action in a different light.
He said
"The House should not try
criminal cases. The Federal
court is an impartial tribunal
and in fairness to DIR. Townsend
or anyone else they should get
a jury trial"
The speaker will certify the con-
tempt charges against DR.. Town
send and his aides, DR.. Clinton
Wunder. of New York, and John
B. Kiefer, of Chicago, to District
Attorney Leslie Garrett today.
Garnett hopes to bring the case
before the grand jury next week.
The contempt charge provides
a maximum penalty of 81 900 fine
and a year in Jail on conviction.
Told of the House citation. DR..
Townsend. from his Baltimore
headquarters charged he was suf-
fering political persecution. He
said:
ITO quote from the inimitable
Mr.. Mencken / should think any
Soho lbOy with intelligence
above that of a tadpOle would
know the committee is afraid to
bring me before the bar of the
House for an open discussion of
the merits Of this notorious case.
"The attempt to smear my
good name and the Organiza-
ton which / represent for punt
tive political purposes is
plain violation of the right of
petition and of my own con-
StitutiOnal rights which, thank
