COURT FAVOR|T|SM
IS HIT BY CITIZENS
"CIass Distinction and Po-
IiticaI Influence" in City
Claimed by Speaker.

Laxity and favoritism in District
Police and Traffic Courts because Of
political influence" was protested last
night In a resolution adopted by the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association.
In introducing the resolution John
r. Manning declared that Washing
ton has more class distinction and
more political influence corrupting 1t
than any other city in tie country"
He called attention to q list Of traffic
law violators who had gone virtually
unpunished by receiving suspended
sentences or by having the charges
nolle pressed. He particularly con-
demned. however, recent case In
which two youths charged with turn
ing 81 fire alarms and pleading guilty
to turning in seven were let of with
small fine and q suspended sem
tence. Copies of his resolution were
ordered sent to those authorities hav-
ing to do with the appointment and
removal Of District judges"
Potests Transit Sale.
Manning also protested the attempt
of the Capital Transit Co. to buy
the Washington Rapid Transit Co.
for $543,000. THE total assets of the
bus company" he stated, "are worth
at the most little more than 5000, ,000
The Washington taxpayers and street
car riders will eventually have to pay
the difference between those two fig
ures." He announced that as chair
man of the associations Public Utili-
ties Committee he would confer with
Peoples Counsel Roberts within the
next few days in an effort to help
defeat the proposition.
The removal from the District ap.
preparation bill of the "red rider
was asked in another resolution.
Lewis Radcliffe, who introduced the
resolution, declared that to prohibit
the teaching of the facts of commun-
ism in District schools was "un-
American and a suppression of free
speech" Such prohibition. he said,
only made the students all the more
interested in the matter.
A resolution opposing the Norton
bill to permit horse racing in the Dis
trict was gwen the approval Of the
association. The resolution also op-
posed the establishment of race tracks
in Arlington County.
Auto Inspection Upheld.
Compulsory automobile inspection

The resolution. introduced by H. "

District-owned inspection stations, as
proposed by the Traffic Bureau and
the Commissioners, the inspections be
made by approved garages, which

lcal adjustments necessary, the cost oi
such adjustments to be included In

ton.
The association also approved a
proposal that the zoning laws be
changed to do away with the obtain

of property are to be rezoned. This
they believed, would eliminate the
possibility of interested parties forcing

an institution at this spot, and the
ladies of the gypsy chorus. In other
hooks and crannies were tucked away
assorted congressman, Cuban diplo-
mat, Dave Apollon of the current Fox

alumnus, class of '28, and sundry
others drawn from the strain of those
who forever and in all places con-
stitute the public population after

In the early show at VB you get
some dancers, the Gonzales solos, a

chestra's leader, the whole topped off
by Windsorian accordion melodies and
some excellent vocalizing by the

specialties by Vladimir Diloff, basso
