Against Those Who
Exceed PRIVILEGES.

Police and trafiic officials were in
structed by Commissioner Melvin c.

tons in enforcing District trafiic reg

Is any one else" he declared. He
said this meant not only congressional
cars but those Of diplomats, Govern
ment onlcials and others with So
called special privileges.
Congressional or other official cars
parked near Government buildings or
the Capitol will not be molested dur
ing business hours unless there Is Q
