Postal inspectors and police

applications. Deadline for new
District tags is Thursday.
George E. Keneipp, director of
Vehicles and Traffic, said new
applications will be sent to those
whose names can be identified
from the torn scraps of paper.
He suggested that any one who
mailed his application on Fri
day stop payment on the check
if he hasn't received his tags by
Tuesday.
Authorities still are uncertain
of the point from which the
mail was taken, but all of it had
been processed and postmarked
through the City Post Office at
North Capitol street and Massa-
chusetts avenue.
The torn mail was found in
two places-most of it scattered
along M street NE. from Second
