DON'T USE 40 CAR TAGS NOW, STATE PLEADS

Wait Until After Christmas. To Avoid Confusion, Stiver Asks.

The $10,000,000 annual sale of auto license plates started today at

the State House and 15 local branch ! stations. sidered two warnings issued by officials: 1. It is not legal to use 1940 tags before Jan. 1, although theres not much danger of being arrested for it. 2. “Early shoppers” should be) careful to destroy 1939 tags when] they put on 1940 plates so the old licenses won't fall into the hands| of unscrupulous persons who might | “cause them embarrassment.’ Mark Rodenbeck, assistant direc- | tor of the State Mureau of Motor | Vehicles, cited license laws now| in effect that make auto plates; valid only for the year for which | they are issued.

No Arrests Planned

Don Stiver, superintendent State Police, however, said his officers would take no action to inforce this technicality of the law Constables who in previous years made frequent arrests for this violation now are restrained. Mr. Stiver said. but police of Indiana cities can make such arrests Michael F. Morrissey said he would make no arrests on this charge in Indianapolis. | Both, however, urged that “early shoppers” not use the 18940 tags until after Christmas to avoid confusion and that discarded 1939 tags not be left accessable to criminals who might use them in committing crimes, thus cause embarrassment to original owners. Ry executive order of Governor M. Clifford Townsend, the dead-| line for 1939 plates has been extended until March 1, 1940. This| year's tags are valid until that date. |
