Jubilant because Congress gave him a birthday present today by passing the amended District traffic code, Traf- : Director M. O.

The traffic di- years old today. “Forms for applications for the new permits are ready to go to the print- ers, and other arrangements com- pleted for the tremendous task of is- suing the drivers’ card: announced that he h; orizinal idea of staggering the re- issuance of the permits under an al- phabetical system and instead will dis- tribute the applications at the various police precincts, American Automo- bile Association, the National Press Club and other organizations, where motorists may procure them and leave the nec v $3 for the permit. The permits will be mailed to the appli- cants. The traffic director expects to begin the reissuance of the permits about July 15, and believes that under the new plan it will be possible to dis- tribute the news cards in about three months. Under the staggered plan it was estimated that it would have taken a year. Mr. Eldridge emphasized that the traffic records of all motorists apply- ing for the new permits would be carefully examined before a new card is issued. Those whom he regards as unfit to operate a car because of their past records for traffic violations will be denied a new permit. Before attempting to enforce some of the major provisions of the new traffic code, Mr. Eldridge indicated that he would confer with the District Traffic Council, the trade bodies and other interested organizations and citizens.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 3 (P).—The annual conference of the Danish Methodist Church, in secret meeting last night, agreed to @ reso- lution demanding that Bishop An- ton Bast be not allowed to do Metho- aist work in Denmark until his case is finally settled by the Methodist general convention in America in 1928. (Dr. Bas is serving a three months’ sentence after conviction upon a charge of misapplying charity funds.) Bishop Bast's friends tried hard to oust Dr. Kyed Nielsen because he had aired his grievances against the bishop publicly, contrary to Metho- dist law. The conference, however, decided to take no steps against Dr. Nielsen. Death . Close Bishop for Scandinavia, PRESIDENT VETOES OIL LEASE BILL Favors Holding Up Measure Pending Outcome of Suits Now on Court Dockets. On the ground that it would dis criminate as between applicants for leases, President Coolidge vesterday vetoed the bill to ,authorize oil and gas mining leases upon unallotted In- dian . concerning which measure ts that it was tainted with fraud had heen brought to the attention of the President by Senator Borah of Idaho. Senator Borah about a week ago asked the President to withhold his approval of the bill until these charges could be investigated. In his veto message, the President referred to statements concerning the bill sald to have been made by persons “seeming to have adverse interests,” but said that, despite its discrimina- tory effect, he was “confident the bill has been passed in entire good faith.” Second Veto This Session. Thus, in exercising the veto for the second time during this session of Congress, the President acted entirely upon the merits of the measure with- out questioning the good faith of those sponsoring it. Senator Borah, at the time he conveyed the protests of fraud to the President, said he was not ready himself to indorse the charges until he could look into them. The bill would have affected about 420 applications for leasing permits filed after Secretary of the Interior Fall had ruled in June, 1922, that the lands involved were opened to lease under the general leasing act of 1920. In May, 1824, the Attorney General ruled that the reservation lands did not come under the leasing act, and took action to secure the cancellation of the permits previously issued to about 20 of the more than 400 appli- cants. The resulting litigation is still pending in court.
