Revenue Collectors
Find 5000 Cars Here
Lacking Use Stamps

Deputy revenue collectors have
Caught" about 5000 automobiles
here without the required IS Fed
eral auto use stamp, 1t was learned
today. The drive started Tuesday.
! Motorists all over the city have
found mimeographed notices placed
on cars by revenue men who have
taken license tag numbers of vio-
latofs.
The notice warns the motorists
to obtain stamps at once.
Many motorists have rushed to the
oiiice Of the deputy collector in the
Revenue Building to explain that
they, had purchased the stamp but
neglected to place in on their wind
shields.
Others have been hurrying, 1t was
reported. to post Offices and to the
collectors office to buy stamps.
While no one has yet been taken
to court, any one who has violated
the law is liable to a fine of $25,
officials pointed out.
When the supply of 5000 mimeo-
graphed notices was exhausted, an
other group of such tags had to be
run off. Deputies were securing the
city again today looking for cars
without stamps, which should have
been on windshields on or before
July /. Cars in dead storage need
not have stamp until they are put
to use again, ofiicials said.

3 Youths Captured
After Chase Through
Penfaeon Road Maze

Relaxed after an 11smile hodge,
podge chase this morning, police
wondering II 1t was worth 1t all
tried to balance three captured
youths against:
One scout car badly damaged, in-
cluding four tires blown out; an
other police car lost for Is minutes
on the Pentagon Building roads:
two bruised police noses; II police
headaches.
As police put the story together, 1t
all began when Kenneth d. Ewing,
Is, OF 2806 Ontario road NV. fell
asleep in his car at Macomb street
and Connecticut avenue NV.
The temptation was too much, ap-
parently. for three youths stole Mr..
Ewing's wallet containing 50 and
sped away in another car.
Witness Calls Police.
This bit of thieyery was viewed
by Norman Bernstein of 3217 Con-
necticut avenue NV, who promptly
notified police.
First to spot the speeding car
with the three youths was Scout
II, manned by Pvts. Carl. e. Dean
and Joseph Anderson.
After few blocks of getting no.
where fast, Scout II put in q call
for assistance and Scouts Al, AZ. and
II, along with q Detective Bureau
cruiser and traffic car. Joined in
the chase.
BY this time the cars were speed
ing along the old road next to the
Arlington Cemetery. The car con-
tanning the three youths swung of
a side road and soon all the cars
were roaring around the Pentagon
Building roads. Nobody was sure
who was chasing what car.
Policemen Injured.
The bandit car sped toward one
Of the parking lots on the Pentagon
grounds. Scout IL arrived at pre-
cisely the same moment but in a
somewhat different manner. The
bandit car stopped of its own voli-
tion-it was out of gas. Scout II
hit a raised sidewalk ruined the
front Of the scout car and blew four
tires. The noses of Pvts. Dean and
Anderson came in close and bruising
contact with the windshield and
dashboard.
Holding their noses, Pvts. Dean
and Anderson climbed out of their
scout car and captured three teen
aged boys, all colored, who appar-
emily had no inclination to continue
the chase into the Pentagon Build
ing.
No such inclination either had
two policemen in Scout Al. Between
calls by Scout II reportil the cap
ture of the bandit car, were frantic
calls by Scout Al to the effect that
it was hopelessly lost in the Penta-
gon maze.
The Washington radio station
contacted the Arlington police radio
station and between the two. Scout
Al was given directions on how to
get home.

Roosevelt Plans Statement
On Siqninq CCC Bill

President Roosevelt indicated to-
day he would sign legislation ex-
tending the life of the Commodity
Credit Corp. until January /, and
told his press conference he would
issue a statement when he acted
on the measure.
The. bill, which also enlarges the
borrowing power of the CCC from
$2,650, 600, 900 to $1,000 900 900, was
the center of a bitter fight in Con-
gress, where it was passed once
with ban on subsidies to roll back
food prices. After the President
vetoed the measure, it was repassed
without the prohibition.
When the President first was
asked about what action he would
take on the bill, he said he believed
he had affixed his signature to the
measure which was passed on July
8. Then he decided, however, that
he had not yet signed it.
