by Long Hunger Strike
(Wireless By "Inprecorr") }

BERLIN, Jan. 22.-Rakosi, Hun
garian Communist, has ended his
hunger strike, which he started as
protest against disciplinary mea-
sures taken against him by the
prison authorities.
On instructions from Budapest au-
thorities the prison director imposed
further severe disciplinary measures
endangering the life of Rakosi. His
relatives visited the under secretary
Of the state prisons, who promised
to abolish the disciplinary punish
ments if Rakosi would abandon his
hunger strike. The Hungarian au-
thorities are obviously scared by the
international protest campaign. Up
on the urgings of the relatives the
prisoners then decided to break off
the strike, but declared intentions to
continue it should the promises be
broken.

MEASURE FAILS
Charge of Conspiracy
Stands Against Fall

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The
Senate Indian Affairs Committee
has adopted resolution absolving
Senator w. B. Pine, republican
Oklahoma, of charges made against
him by Indian Commissioner Burke
in connection with the Jackson Bar
nett Indian fund case.
Burke was defending himself
against a charge that he conspired
to defraud an Indian in the Barnett
case, which involved $1,000,000, and
that when indictments for this con-
spiracy were about to be voted by
a grand jury in Oklahoma against
Burke, ex-Secretary Of the Interior
Fall and others, Burke got the then
Secretary of interior Work and At
torney General Sargent to smash
the investigation.
Started Back Fire.
Burke was confronted with this
charge made by the prosecutor in
Oklahoma, Charles Selby. He re-
taliated that Senator Pine, .Selby
and others were trying to ruin him.
The adoption of the report leaves
the charges standing against Work,
Fall, Burke and Sargent standing.
The report absolves Charles Selby
and 0. M. Parmenter, assistant at
torney general, and John Collier, a
representatives of the Indian Rights
Associations, with Pine.
The report said there was no basis
whatever to Burke's charges in the
evidence brought before the COM
mittee.

Last night thousands of taxicab
drivers united in silent protest
against Police Car Gorgeous
Grover" Whalen's new rules for the
theatre zone. Drivers are staying
out of the zone altogether, rather
than endure the brow-beating of the
police and damage to their cars from
being forced over on new construc-
ton at Eighth Ave. Theatregoers
were running around through the
snow last night looking for cabs,
and there were few cabs.
Check-up of Whalen's new regu-
lations, as they worked in the try
out night before last, show thou
sands of dollars in earnings were
lost by cab drivers because of the
police "no cruising order"
Speeding laws were disregarded
on the "try-out" night. Fifteen
miles an hour is the maximum, by
regulation, for the downtown sec
tion. Cars were seen to be going
thirty-five and forty miles. an hour
through the side streets, especially
such high-powered cars as belong to
the upper crust.
Lost S2.95.
One driver who had early in the
evening picked up a call on Ocean
Ave-, Brooklyn, to theatre on
Forty-first st. was asked by his
fares to return after the show for
return call to Brooklyn.
The driver did not collect his fare,
and at eleven o'clock, when the
shows "brole," the driver was un-
able to cruise through from Sixth
Ave. to pick up his fare. Result,
S2.95 less wages.
Other drivers, who were more for
tunate in getting through, were not
allowed to pick UP those fares that
hailed them in front Of the theatres.
They were kept going "on the but
ton" speed laws or no speed laws.
Protests Grow.
One association has already pro-
tested against the regulations of
Commissioner Whalen. The hide
pendent Taxi Owners Association,
one Of the oldest taxi organizations
in the city, composed of independent
drivers, complains that its members
can't get their return fares.
A reporter for the Daily Worker
made round Of garages, "coffee
pots" and hack stands after mid
night, and the check-up shows that
bookings were far below the aver
age. Many drivers of new Mogul
Checker cabs were unable to bring
in their minimum amount of book
ings and, as result, drastic action
followed-they were fired.
Drivers on the open-shop Yellow
Taxi Corporation reported also a
loss in receipts and earnings, de-
spite a statement earlier in the day
to the press by company officials
that the bookings were low and that
their cabs made better time through
the war zone.
