Repeal Law Against
Lemon-Adorned Cars
City Heods Agree Statute
Is Unconstitutional;

The District Commissioners to-
day repealed a law which says
you can't publicly ridicule your
own automobile.
BY the action, they legalized the
lemons which Marine Corpl.
Frank Farkas. %, of Quantico
painted on the sides of his car
which he drove around the city
until the law finally caught up
with him.
The Commissioners also ordered
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West to nolle PROSE- the case
against Corpl. Farkas, due to
come up in Municipal Court next
Wednesday.
Revived I'm 1850.
The law, revived in 1850, pro-
hibited the driving or parking of
any vehicle painted or otherwise
adorned "in such a manner as
to cast reflection, scornful deri-
sion or ridicule upon any make
or type of vehicle"
The story of Corpl. Farkas
elected considerable newspaper
space, scores Of letters to editors
and several cash contributions to
his cause.
He bought the secondhand,
1949 sedan from a Flushing, N. Y,
dealer for $1,100 and from then
on had nothing but expensive re-
pairs, he contended.
Granted New Trial.
He was convicted in Municipal
Court, but was granted a new
trial when his attorneys, Charles

asked for time to present new
|eyidence-all pointed at uncon-
Stitutionality Of the regulation.
The Commissioners, by their
action today, agreed that it was.
None of them had a hand In re-

case, also agreed.
