Car Inspection
System May
Be Changed

Governor Tuck this week call
ed On the Virginia legislative
council to study the States mo-
tor vehicle inspection system and
report on whether 'some improv
ed method may be devised.
Taking notice of widespread
criticism of the present method,
where private garages and repair
shops conduct the inspections in
behalf of the State, the governor
asked that the problem be look
ed into and report made as to
the findings prior to the next
session of the Virginia general
assembly.
The governor suggested that it
might be possible to devise a
compromise between the pres
ent set-up, which utilizes only
privately owned inspection sta
tons and the other extreme of
all state operated inspection sta
tons.
Considerable support for the
State operated type of inspection
system has been voiced recently
following complaints from all
parts of the state that some pri-
vate inspectors have goughed
motorists numerically by find
ing bogus defects to repair" at
high prices.

BY Colombian Rioters
Charging Imperialism

BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept. IL
Unruly crowds stoned the Unitee
States Embassy and buildings hous.
ing American interests yesterday
and students and bank employees
paraded through the streets shout
ing Down with Yankee imperia-
lism.'
The demonstration was touched
off by a United States note to the
Colombian government seeking ter
mination of certain privileges en-
joyed by the Flota Mercante Gran
Colombia, a merchant fleet owned
jointly by Colombia. Venezuela and
Ecuador.
The disorders were climaxed last
night by a parade of 10000 persons
to the building of the House of
Representatives. The stone throwers
smashed several windows in the
Embassy and other buildings and
special police guards protected the
property last night.
The Colombian House of Repre-
|sentatives adopted a resolution ex-
pressing the hope that the govern
ment would be "intransigent in the
defense of the autonomy of our
nationals to use systems of trans
port which suit their commercial
activities"
Various quarters in Colombia
described the United States note as
an example of a "bad-neighbor
policy" although Acting Foreign
Minister Roberto Urdaneta Arbelaez
insisted the note was not protest
but d consultation on existing
