Bottle Clubs
Reply toSuits
Asking Closing
Defense Says Low
Has Been Followed:
Injunction Sought
BY Charles 6. Brooks

Replies by two after hours clubs
to a civil suit which would revoke
their right to operate here start
ed legal battle in Federal Court
today
Charles E. Ford, attorney for
the Downtown Club, COG E street
NV, and the Picadilly Social
Club, 1901 Fourteenth street NV.
filed replies to the Governments
civil suits declaring that in both
instances the clubs have complied
with local laws.
Injunction Sought.
Mr.. Ford's action was followed
by a Government motion for a
temporary injunction to COM
pletely close the two bottle clubs
for a period of 10 days.
The two clubs are the first to
be legally attacked in the drive
to rid the city of illegally oper-
ated bottle clubs.
Assistant Unitetd States At
torney Hugh j. MCGEE, who filed
the motions, declared Mr.. Ford
had characterized in the press
and over the radio" that action
by the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia forcing
the clubs out of business would
be foolish and ineffective be-
cause the defendants could de-
feat the effect of a court order
of involuntary dissolution by re-
Incorporating Immediately"
Mr.. Ford's reply to the suit
against the Downtown Club de-
clareS the court lacks the juris-
diction to prevent the club, incor-
porated in Virginia, from oper-
ating here because local laws do
not authorize this type of pro-
ceeding by the United States At
torney's Office. The reply says
that the suit is based on criminal
convictions of the clubs man
ager Albert B. Glickf1eld, and
that the suit is an attempt to
restrain the club from using
powers granted under it's charter
whether violated or not.
In answer to the Governments
suit to dissolve the Picadilly
Clubs charter, Mr.. Ford declared
the defendant corporation has
lived up to all the provisions of
its charter and has made a num-
Der of charitable contributions.
Charges Discrimination.
Mr.. Ford declared that many
restaurants licensed under the
alcoholic control beverage laws
have been convicted for liquor
law violations but that no action
has ever been taken for revoca-
ton of their charters. That, the
reply insists. is discriminatory
and a violation of individual
rights.
The campaign to close up to
Is after-hours clubs began over
a week ago when United States
Attorney Charles Irelan called
a meeting of top-level District
officials to plan a co-ordinated
effort to force them out of bust
ness. The corporation counsel's
Office has threatened to make
public the names of all persons
found in the clubs whenever they
may be raided.
The Government motions for
temporary injunctions against
the clubs today would not only
prevent their managers from op-
Grating in any fashion, but would
also prevent any transfer of
assets from the present incor-
porators and would have the
court appoint receivers in each
case.

Traffic Department
Mailing Out Papers
For D. {. Auto TAGS

Applications for automobile
tags for the year beginning
March l were put in the mail
today. and Acting Traffic Direc-
tor Wallace L. Braun said the
mailing will continue until about
100000 applications have been
mailed out.
The applications will contain a
leaflet explaining the new point
system for the suspension and
revocation of operators permits.
The license plates will go on sale
March 2 and they can be used
any time after that date. Car
owners must have their plates by
April i.
Plates Are Larger.
The new plates are a departure
from the black and orange plates
which have been used in the Dis
trict for many years. The plates
this year will be white with green
numerals and letters on them.
They are larger than the plates
which have previously been used.
TIE two plates previously used
weighed about IA ounces. The
ones this year will weigh about
17l2 ounces.
On account of the weight of
the plates. the District will have
to pay more postage than they
did in the past. Last year it
cost the District IS cents to mail
the plates. This year is will cost
20 cents. The increased cost is
due also to a decision of the
Post Office Department that the
registration tabs which are
mailed with the plates will re-
quire three cents each as first
class mail. The plates them
selves are fourth class.
Urges Visits to Counter.
In order to save money for the
District, Acting Director Braun
has asked Washington motorists
to come to the Vehicles and Traf-
fic office in the Municipal Cen
ter and obtain their tags over
the counter.

Mr.. Braun said, Shows that more
people can be served at the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic

Public Hearings
On Case sbiI|
Expected Soon
Senators to Air
Proposal to Add
Two Commissioners

"A senate subcommittee may
hold hearings next week on the
bill to enlarge the Board of
Commissioners from three to
five, measure included by Pres
ident Eisenhower and Congress
sional leaders today in a legis-
lative program for this session
of Congress.
The measure was introduced
in the Senate by Chairman Case
of the District Committee, and
a similar one in the House by
Chairman Simpson of the Dis
trict Committee. The legislation
is before judiciary Subcommit-
tees in both houses.
Senator Barrett, Republican,
OF Wyoming, subcommittee
chairman, said today he wanted
to hold hearings soon, probably
next week.
More Work Is Aim.
Senator Case has explained
that the basic purpose of the
measure is to enable the city
heads to take on more work.
He has suggested transfer of
more ordinance-making powers
to them and is preparing legis-
lation to this effect.
He also said that the en-
larged board would increase the
chances for appointment of a
Negro and a woman as members.
Inclusion of the measure on
the legislative schedule outlined
today constituted the second in
dorsement Of the measure by
the President. He recommended
the move previously in his state
of-the- Union message to Con-
gress.
Two Commissioners Cool.
Two of the Commissioners to-
day continued to show little en-
thusiasm for the measure. Renah
F. Camalier could not be reached
for comment.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue suggested that rather than
increasing the Board of Com
missioners, the purpose of broad
ening representation might be
served by charging the Commits
sioner's Advisory Council.
Adding two more Commits
sioners, he contended, would Gre
ate a hydra headed" body which
might create confusion. Since
the council has taken over a
good deal of detail work, the city
heads have more time for policy
decisions. he said.
He said he approved the idea
Of broader representation, but
he felt it should be in the coun-
Gil. The Commissioners, he said,
should represent all the people
rather than particular groups.
More Subdivisions Seen.
More Commissioners would
necessitate changing the reor-
ganization plan, which subdivides
municipal services into public
works, public safety and public
health categories. Presumably,
additional Commissioners would
require additional subdivisions.
Mr.. Donohue also said the Case
bill provision that no more than
three members of the board may
be of the same major political
party presents the difficulty that
there is no vote here.
/ Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss.
Engineer Commissioner, said it
was not evident at present that
there was need for more Com
missioners, but that he was not
"bucking" the suggestion pend
ing a further study of the pro-
posed legislation.
He said he was not sure what
additional authority would be
delegated a f1ve-man board.
