result in the election of q Republican.
He said he thought the battle would
be between the Progressive and DEM

Mr.. Farley, vacationing in Michigan,
wired Representative Clark:
This is the first chance I have had
to extend my heartiest congratulations.

The Social Security Act, however,
is the keystone Of the Presidents So

RULE IS UPHELD
Judge Casey 0verruIes A. A.
A. Contention-Fight Will
Go TO Appeals Court.

Police Court Judge Walter J. Casey
today upheld the validity Of the
20 foot from building Zine parking
regulation, overruling the contention
Of American Automobile Association
counsel that the new rule was "un-
necessary and unreasonable"
Attorney Charles c. Collins, repre-
senting the A. A. A., served notice he
would file bill Of exceptions Monday,
preliminary to taking the question be-
fore the United States Court Of Ap-
peals.
Judge Casey's decision was handed
down in the case Of Francis Divflio,
23, employe of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission. He was charged
with parking in front of his home, at
2101 K street NV, IN violation Of the
regulation which bans parking closer
to street corners than 20 feet back
from the building line.
The A. A. A. has ridiculed the law
since it was put into effect and ap-
pointed its counsel to represent the
defendant.
Three page Opinion.
In three-page opinion Judge Casey
declared:
"The regulation was adopted to per-
NIT safe and convenient use of the
streets for public travel and it is the
right and duty Of the Commissioners
to restrict the parking of cars on
public streets wherever such parking
interferes unreasonably with the use
OF the streets for the purpose for
which they are set apart. The power
10 regulate the use of streets and
highways by restrictions on the park
ing of vehicles is one universally recog-
nized and its reasonable exercise IL
consistently upheld.
THE contention of the defendant
that building lines at Intersections
should be determined by surveys is
without merit, and an exhorbitantly
expensive procedure Of this kind could
only result in the movement Of the
lines an inconsequential distance for
ward or backward. The paramount
consideration is safety at intersections
and the parking Of vehicles upon the
streets must yield to that considera-
ton.
While 1t is true that other regula-
tions control the parking of vehicles
at or near many intersections in the
District, all motorists know they can
not park within 10 feet of q fire plug
or within 20 feet Of . stop sign or
bus stop and any confusion that may
attend the early enforcement Of the
regulation in question will be over
