A0, DSPUTE Threat to Withhold State Road | Funds May Force Auto Reciproc- ity With District. The long-time disagreement between Maryland and the District of Columbia over wutomobile tag reciprocity is in a fair way to be settled by congressional action. It is proposed to include in the | agricultural appropriation bill a proviso that none of the $29.000,000 carried for state aid in road building shall go to any state that does not extend reciproc- ity in the matter of motor licenses to ail other states and the District of | Columbia. This it is pointed out, would mean a great deal to tourists. It is not expected that Maryland or any other state would refuse reciprocity if facing the loss of the millions they have been getting in federal aid for road building since 1916, This legislative proposal is to bs of- fered as an amendment when the Senate subcommittee of the finance committee has the agricultural bill under considera- tion. Representative Currs of Califor- . will urge this amendment. and claims that if the Senate will approve it. as he confidently expects, he i& assured of its acceptance in the House. This proposal was not advanced in the House, where the agricultural bill is to be finally voted on ioday. because of the desire to expedite completion of the measure before the Christmas recess. Representative Curry insists that there has been no eerious objetion to the proposal, and instead he has received emphatic indorsement from many promi- t members.
