AUTO INSPECTION BACKED BY A. A. A. Body Supports Project if Car- ried Out Through City. Owned Garages. Indorsement of a program of com- pulsory inspection of motor vehicles in the District by means of a municipally owned garage system was voiced yes- terday by the A. A. A. Motor Club of the District. ““There is no better way to rule ‘junk cars’ off the road than by regular ex- amination of all automobiles by com- petent experts,” Ernest N. Smith, ex- ecutive vice president of the A. A. A., said. “Seven States already have com- pulsory inspection of vehicles for fea- tures bearing directly on safety. Ex- perience of these States shows that about 54.5 per cent of all vehicles have improper lights, 349 per cent hove defective brakes and 56 per cent have tires in poor condition. These States have a traffic accident death rate 30 per cent lower than the group of comparable States that do not have such requirements.” MOTORIST IS SENTENCED | Sixty Days in Jail Given on Drunk Driving Charge.

By the Assoclated Press. RALEIGH, N. C, March 16—A projected fight on Mrs. Elva David- son's purported will leaving virtually all her perscnal estate to her husband, H. Bradley Davidson, jr., today brought to the forefront again the strange cir- cumstances of the Statler heiress’ death. J. M. Broughton of Raleigh, attor- ney for the Statler interests, after re- ceiving word that the will had been filed at Carthage said he would file a caveat within a few days. The attorney said the caveat would be based on the “general grounds” of the circumstances attending the mak- | ing of the will and the death of David- son's 22-year-old bride of two months. ‘Three Secondary Bequests. There were only three bequests in the will aside from a general bequest leaving the remainder of the estate to Davidson. These were of $5,000 each to Radcliffe’ College, Boston, and the Dwight School, Englewood. N. J., for “one or more” scholarships, and of $2,000 to the Dwight School Library. The document itself made no refer- ence to the size of the estate, but at- torneys familiar with Mrs. Davidson's [HOT-WATE HEAT American Radiator Co. product com- pletely installed in six rooms as low as NO MONEY DOWN 3 YEARS TO PAY A Complete Line of Heating Equipment e Electrol Oil Burners o B and G Summer and Winter Hot-Water Attachments o Westinghouse Blowers Free Estimates at Your Convenience ECONOMY c:w Company 906 10th St. N.W.

Herbert Seawell, Carthage attorney, filed the purported will with the clerk of Moore County Superior Court at Carthage. It was dated February 15, 1935, and was witnessed by W. Barton Leach, Weston, Mass.; Livingston Hall, Wes- ton, Mass., and Victoria Mercer, Cam- bridge, Mass. What money was left to Davidson was in addition to a $12,000 annuity she arranged for him while in Bos- ton to confer with her attorneys last February at the time the will is dated. Dated Shortly After Wedding. The date is some six weeks after the adopted daughter of the late E. M. Statler, hotel magnate, was mar- ried at Pinehurst to Davidson, 42-year- old member of a socially prominent ‘Washington family and father of three children by a previous marriage, which ended in divorce. Twelve days later Mrs. Davidson was found in the garage of her Pine- hurst home, lying on the running board &nd floor of her 12-cylinder au- tomobile and dead of carbon monoxide gas. Solicitor Rowland S. Pruette, who hinted at evidences of foul play while making a secret investigation, adduced conflicting evidence at a_coroner’s in- quest as to quarrels by Mr. and Mrs. Davidson. Witnesses testified that at a party, which broke up in the early morn- ing hours before her death, Mrs. Da- vidson was moody and at one time was in tears. 77772 2727777 Ignition, Starting, Lighting Beldon Ignition Cables MILLER-DUDLEYZ 1716 144 ST. NORTH 1583 PRINTERS WALK OUT ON TELETYPESETTER Urbana, 111, Publishers Say Con- trol of Equipment at Stake in Strike. By the Associated Press. URBANA, III, March 18.—Union printers and the publishers of the Urbana Evening Courler were still deadlocked tod: over the news- & J 'The New Sloane, paper’s “teletypesetter,” an automatic typesetting machine. E. E. Lindsay, président of the Evening Courier Co., sald the news- paper would issue a 20-page edition today. He said the 12 striking mem- bers of the International Typo- graphical Union who walked out yesterday had made no overtures toward negotiation, and called their action a violation of the newspaper’s contract, Robert W. Sink, managing editor, said that control of all such type- setting equipment was at stake in the Urbana case, and said orders for the walkout had come from the union’s Indianapolis headquarters. Newly perfected, the teletypesetter Twelfth sets type when a punched tape is fed into it. Sink said ‘a union printer has been employed to feed the tape but not to perforate it. This is done on a separate unit, like a typewriter. The union, Sink sald, demands that the perforating be done by a union man. Hebrew Auxiliary Plans Party. A card party and dance under aus- pices of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Southeast Hebrew Congregation will be held tonight at the Willard Hotel from 9 until 1 o'clock. Mrs. M. M.

TAX CHARGES Board Says Cartoonist’s Accumu- lated Earnings Were Justifiable in Pursuit of Business. By the Associated Press. Bud Fisher, originator of Mutt and Jeff, has been cleared of charges of attempting to beat the income surtax. ‘The Board of Tax Appeals overruled an Internal Revenue Bureau conten- tion that a family corporation through which he markets his cartoon allowed earnings to accumulate ir 1926 and 1860 1927 for the furpose of avoiding the high rates on big incomes. The corporation, known as Pisher & Fisher, permitted earnings of $200,~ 000 to pile up without distribution to the shareholders for the purpose, he said, of participating in a pool in- tended to purchase the old New York ‘World. The board found that publication of the Fisher cartoons in the World 'Wwas aecessary to maintain their popu- larity and held that the sum set aside for that purpose was nct excessive.
