LOWELL VACATES
CRAWFORD'S WRIT
Judge Orders Colored Man Sent to
Virginia to Face Murder
Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON. October 24-Federal Judge
James A. Lowell today vacated the writ
of habeaus corpus he granted last April
to George Crawford. colored. wanted in
Virginia for the murder of two white
women. and ordered him turned over to
Frank Hale lieutenant Of State police,
for extradition.
In doing so, Judge Lowell obeyed the
mandate of the Circuit Court of APP
peals, which yesterday directed that the
writ be vacated and the prisoner re-
moved from custody Of the Federal au-
tborities and given to State officers
The Circuit Court overturned LOWell's
action on the writ some time ago and
Crawford's appeal to the United States
Supreme Court was lost when that body
recently declined to review the decision
of the circuit bench.
Federal authorities said they were
informed Virginia officers would ar
rive in this city soon to start CraW-
ford back to Loudoun County for trial.
Crawford. accused of Staying Mrs.
Agnes Boeing Ilsley. wealthy sports
woman. and her maid. Nina Buckner,
at Middleburg, Va. was thrust into
the national spotlight when Judge
Lowell stayed his extradition after Gov.
Joseph B. Ely had ordered him turned
over to Virginia
The Federal judge based his decision
on the ground Crawfords constitutional
rights had been violated by the failure
of Virginia to place Negroes on grand
juries.
Lowell's action brought storm of
protest from the South; he was i'm
peached in the House of Representa-
tives and a congressional committee
named to investigate his action. The
committee recently visited this city
and conferred with the jurist.
Crawford originally was arrested here
on January 13 for a small store bur-
glary. He had previously served a
term in a Virginia prison.

|0LD AGE PENSIONS
SOUGHT FOR D. c.
Citizens Committee Asks
Commissioners to Make
Request of Congress.

A formal request that the District
Commissioners ask Congress to appro-
pirate $3.50 1000 to establish system of
old-age pensions here during the next
fiscal year was filed today with DR..
Luther H. Reichelderfer. president of
the Board of Commissioners, by citi-
zens' committee headed by Leifur Mag
nuSSon.
The petition is a renewal of move
ment started a year and half ago
when the Citizens Committee on Old
Age Security for the District laid the
matter before the city heads.
Sympathetic Interest Seen.
At that conference. it was recalled,
the delegation from the committee was
assured of sympathetic interest in pro-
posed legislation on the subject.
The matter now Is being studied by
officials Of the Board Of Public Welfare,
an Official of the District said today.
The statement by Mr.. Magnusson to-
day lists as vice chairman Of the COM
mittee Frederic A. Delano, George F.
Cleary, John B. Colpoys, DR.. John
O'Grady. DR.. Abram Simon, Mrs. Whit
man Cross, Mrs. Edward P. Costigan
and Dr. Russell j. Clinchy.
The appeal for Commissioner support
for the proposed appropriation states:
THE situation has greatly changed In
the past 18 months in ways that sub
stantially strengthen the cause OF old
age pensions. The present administra-
ton Is openly committed to a far
reaching program of constructive human
relief. There is no more constructive
form Of relief for the aged poor than
through system Of old-age pensions.
Pension Enactment Elsewhere.
within the past year, despite deple-
tion Of public funds. nine new States
and the Territory of Hawaii have en-
acted old-age pension legislation, making
a total of 26 States and Territories.
This is a significant tribute to the
economy and wisdom of this form OF
humane care Of the INDECENT poor.
THE legislation which We propose to
present to the next session OF Congress
will require smaller appropriation than
the bill submitted for your consideration
last year"
When the subject was considered a
year ago the Commissioners held the
time was not ripe for starting of the
proposed new system.
The committee reports that an expert
survey now is being made to enable It
to present figures to Congress as to the
number of District inhabitants 68 years
of age or older who would be eligible for
pensions.

TAXI INSURANCE
PLAN PROGRESSES
Peoples Counsel Reports
Companies Form Commit

Progress is being made in the city
by representatives Of the taxicab In
dustries of Washington looking toward
voluntary adoption of a system OF In
surance covering injuries to passen-
gers, it was reported today by Rich
mond B, Keech, peoples counsel
He said representatives of eight OF
the major taxicab companies and as
sociations here have formed a COM
11nittee which making a serious study
OF details of various types OF indemnity
Tor passengers.
Keech has consulted with repre-
sentatives of virtually all the cab COM
panies in an effort to aid them in for
mulating a plan. The idea would be
for the companies to set up volun-
tary system rather than wait for a
final decision by Congress on proposed
legislation which would make insurance
or indemnity bond mandatory on them
The movement has been stimulated
since the United States Supreme Court
a few days ago refused to disturb a
decision by the District Court OF Ap-
peals which reversed decision by the
District Supreme Court which held
that the Independent Taxi Owners As
sociation was not liable for damages as
result of operation Of cab by one OF
its members.
The effect of the high court ruling
will be that the case will be retired by
the trial court, and that the jury rath-
er than the court will decide whether
the association was liable for damages.
Keech plans to confer with Herbert
Davis. superintendent OF insurance for
the District, regarding details for
voluntary insurance plan. He is CO.
operating with the taxi owners mucn
in the same way as he did when VIZ
tually all of the taxi companies adopted
a new fiat rate zone system in move
to increase their income through a
