AUT0|ST WINS
PARK|NGCASE

Washington motorists won an.
other moral victory yesterday in
their intermittent war on police
parking signs posted on city streets
and the regulations which inspire
them.
In this case the Keystone Auto
mobile Club, represented by Attor-
ney James T. Crouch, made the
fgiht for James Newton, Of 1905
Biltmore st., charged with having
parked within IS feet Of the corner
Of Thirteenth and K Streets
Northwest, In front Of Franklin
School.
Newton testified he had parked
there between 9:30 and 4 o'clock,
after having seen q parking sign
prohibiting parking before $3.50 or
after 4 o'clock. From this, he said,
he concluded that parking between
those hours was permissible, not
withStanding the District police
regulation prohibiting all parking
within IS feet Of street intersec-
tions.
Several photographs were sub
mitted to Judge John P. NC
Mahon showing this and similar
signs posted on city streets within
IS feet Of intersections. The plac-
ing Of the signs at these points,
Attorney Crouch declared, is "a
clear invitation to violate the law"
Judge Mcmahon, ruling with
him, dismissed the complaint
against his client, holding that the
motoriSt was observing the restric-
ton on the sign in parking where
and when he did.
