PERMIT REVOCATION
FACES COURT TEST
Convicted Speeder Asks Injunc-
ton on Ground of Illegal
Exercise of Power.

Revocation of permits of convicted
speeders, resorted to in the current
traffic enforcement campaign, was at
tackled today in District Supreme
Court as an unconstitutional exercise
of power. An injunction against the
Commissioners and several subordi-
mates was asked.
The question was brought before
the court by Calvin B. Hartman, 1856
Sheridan street, who, on February IL,
was convicted of speeding and paid
q fine of 81. A week ago he received
from the Board of Revocation and
Restoration of Operators Permits an
order requiring him to surrender his
permit for Is days.
Through Attorneys Mason WEIGH,
Bernard NJ Chernoff and Winthrop
Johns, Hartman asked the court to
enjoin the Revocation Board from
taking his permit
The power of the Commissioners to
revoke or suspend license "for any
cause" they may deem suficient was
attacked as an unwarranted delegation
of legislative authority. The plaintiff
also argued that, by suspending his
permit, the board denied him the pro-
lection of the due process" clause of
the Constitution. Without his permit.
1t was pointed out. he would be de-
prived of the use Of his automobile as
completely as though the machine
itself had been taken from him.

Judge Paul N. SchaefIer ordered the

and the case disposed of Immediately.
Toontas' plea came Unexpectedly,
just after a conference of attorneys
and members of the boys family.
Toontas was on the stand and his at
torneys were encountering constant OBJ
jections in their, efforts to get into
the record his story of mistreatment
at the hands of his father. slain as he
emerged from his home February IS.
Judge Schaeffer said he felt the plea
was "the proper and desirable thing
to do. I feel if this trial had gone on
and a proper verdict might not have
been returned by the jury. it would
have been a great miscarriage of JUS
tice. I note this especially since the
boy is a boy of good character"
Testifies to Mistreatment.
The bushy- haired boy had earlier
testified in an undertone that he shot
his father because his parent threat
ened to fix" him.
The father. James, 45-year-old au-
tomobile mechanic. died blaming his
son, policemen testified at the boys
murder trial.
The boy said he had been beaten
and abused by his father for failing to
work in the garage. The night of the

when I get back"
The boy said he took a rife from
q rack in the house and inserted 10
shells. Then he ran to his room.
Later he went to the parlor and
turned out the lights. He took up

when I heard him coming up on
the porch I threw open the door to
the hallway and got down on my
knee" the boy continued.
Did you shoot your father, LOUISE"
Lee asked.
Eyes, SIR" the boy replied, scarcely
above a whisper.
''why did you shoot him?"
Because of the way he treated

PARIS. March IA high source
declared today that France will quit
the League Of Nations unless Great
Britain backs her demand that
Reichsfuehrer Hitler withdraw his
troops from the Rhineland.
This source stated Pierre-Etienne
Flandin, Frances foreign minister.
will take warning of such possible
action with him when he goes to Lon
don tomorrow for a conference Of
Locarno treaty signatories.
Officials said F1andin was prepared
to tell Anthony Eden, British foreign
secretary, that France was not alone
in her stand against further occupa-
ton of the Rhineland by German
troops.
An authoritative spokesman de.
clared I'VE know war is coming in
two years anyhow. We might as we'll
have it now. while we are prepared.
The only way in which Hitler's troops
will leave the Rhineland is for the Lo.
carno signatories to drive them out,
but stitch in time sames nine"
The official added There comes a
time when a nation refuses to be hui
inflated in front of the world. French
honor is at stake and we are ready to
draw the sword if necessary to keep
1t unsullied."
Attitude Expressed After Farley.
The French attitude was described
after Flandin had conversed this
morning with Ambassador Potemkin
of Soviet Russia, the nation with
which France signed the military as
sistance pact upon which Hitler stated
he based his denunciation of the Lo-
carno treaty.
French officials said it was necessary
that Great Britain back France at
this moment in order to prevent the
death of the League of Nations"
Authoritative sources indicated they
believed there was little likelihood
that Germany would attend either
tomorrow's or Saturdays meetings in
London
French authorities said that, in
their viewpoint, Germany, as vio-
lator of the Locarno pact. had out
lawed herself from the benefits of that
pact and therefore was not entitled
to sit in judgment on her own case.
As far as Saturdays meeting is con-
cerned, they said, the Council woulc
have to invite Germany before tht
Reich could send representatives, since
Germany is not member of tht
League.
One official said: This time Franc
