NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A Mu-

day that a motorist whose car
was hemmed in by a double
parked automobile has the right
to sue for damages.
Justice Maurice Wahl cited a
recent decision of the District of
Columbia Court of Appeals up
holding the right Of riders to
travel on streetcars and buses
without being forced to listen to
broadcasts.

for dismissal on the ground there

to leave Warsaw shortly on vaca-

His activities included distri-

the Washington Post, which

taken occasion to criticize some
features of the bill, notably the
provision for an appointive mayor

BERLIN, Aug. 10.-A young
girl member of the Communist
East German Youth attempted
suicide today because she feared
reprisals as additional tens OF
thousands of Iron Curtain youth
deserted a peace" festival to visit
free West Berlin.
Red Cross officials said the
girl fed from her East Berlin
camp in panic. She reached the
Western sector but, friendless and
despairing of finding permanent
refuge, slashed her wrists.
She was rushed to Red Cross
aid station for medical treatment
and political asylum. Her name
was withheld.
Her fight came as Communist
police frightened controls over
their masses of youth in prepara-
ton for the climax of the two
week festival neared-Sunday's
mammoth peace parade"
Today's mass visit was the Sec
ond great invasion wave, staged
by a new mass of youths whom
the Communists had brought tt
the East Berlin festival from the
surrounding Russian occupation
zone, Shortages of supplies anc
housing for the two-week show
requires that the delegates be
brought in shifts for visits o1
about five days each.
West Berlin authorities, who
have the task Of interviewing and
entertaining the visiting young
ters, reported that about TOO had
inquired about asylum in the
West since the festival opened
Sunday. Only a small fraction
lare accepted for this, however.
Because of the already heav,
financial burden of the refuges
load, only those are taken whit
prove they can't safely return
home. The others ar, given {

Quotes Star Editorial.
/ He inserted in the record a copy
of an editorial which appeared
in The Evening Star Friday, July
27, headed Voting Is Not the
Issue"
This editorial clearly and elo-
quently reviews the basic issue
about which the proponents of
the so-called home rule bills and
the Washington Board of Trade
completely disagree, he said.
This basic issue is so admirably
expressed by The Satr editorial,
that I will quote a few sentences
from it rather than attempt to
state it in my own words:
Senator Neely and some of his
colleagues are not being quite hon
est with themselves or with any,
body else when they identify the
right to vote as the cardinal issue
at stake in the current debate over
home rule for the District of Co.
lumbiai.
Their reasons for attempting
to do so, however, are quite OBJ
vious. If they can establish the
theory. by reiteration, that opposi-
tion to home rule is based on op-
position to the right to vote, they
accomplish two things: They
iadorn themselves as flaming an
gels, come to set the people free;
they consign those who disagree
with them to that approbrium re-
served for the Tories of 1776, de-
tractors of George Washington,
and traitors to the traditions of a
free people.
But this does not mean that
they are right. The vote they
are talking about is a vote for
the members of a city council
and the members of a board of
education.
THE vote they are not talk
ing about is the vote for the
President of the United States,
who would appoint a mayor to
run the city council; and the
vote for representatives of our
own choosing in the Congress of
the. United States, which exer-
