Representative Is Guest
Of Personnel Society
At Dinner Dance

Personnel officers of the Federal
Government turned out in full force
at the Kennedy-Warren last night
to honor Chairman Ramspeck of
the House Civil Service Committee
whose civil service extension
measure recently became law after
a long congressional battle.
After receiving the praise of a
long list of speakers, Representative
Ramspeck was presented with a
scroll making him an honorary
member of the Society for Personnel
Administration, which sponsored a
dinner-dance in the Georgian's
honor.
In accepting, Representative Ram
speck said 1t was hoped that the
next few years would bring an i'm
provement in the operation of the
civil service system. He expressed
the conviction that when France S
history is finally written it will be
learned that failure of the French
civil government had a lot to do
with the collapse. He said the civil
branch of this Government must be
enabled to carry out its RESPONSE

DC. Would Mark
Tires Rejected
At INSPECTION

A method to foil a trick which
has enabled scores of motorists to
evade the Districts motor vehicle
inspection law has finally been
found, it was disclosed yesterday.
For the last year and a half.
since compulsory motor vehicle in
spection has been in effect here,
some unscrupulous motorists have
rented new tires for so cents a day
to replace old ones which had been
rejected by inspectors.
Then, after appearing at the sta
tions with the new tires and obtain
ing an approved" sticker on their
cars, the drivers would remount the
old tires and take the good ones
back to the stores where they were
obtained.
If a proposed regulation, recon-
mended by the Traffic Advisory
Council, is approved by the Com
missioners, District motor vehicle
inspectors would have the power to
brand any rejected tire, J. Earl
Steinhauer. supervising inspector.
said. This would enable police to
arrest any motorist driving car
with branded tires on charge OF
operating an autombile in unsafe
mechanical condition.
Inspectors at the two District sta
tions said the trick had been played
at least go times that they knew OF.
