TAXIINSURANCE
LAW SCANNED

Appointment of a special sub
committee to consider financial re-
sponsibility legislation for taxicahs
was ordered today by the Hcust
District Committee.
The matter was discussed after
Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd of New Jersey, called the
committees attention to the Dis
trict Commissioners proposal to
revoke the license of any automo-
bile driver failing to pay for dam
age done to property. The law
now is that licenses shall be re-
voked in cases of nonpayment
where the damage is 500 or
more.
! Criticising this proposal, Rep
resentative Jack Nichols CD, Of
Oklahoma asserted legislation
should be passed to compel all
vehicles for hire to be insured
against damage to the property Of
another. He suggested that the
500 limit stand for private auto
mobiles, but insisted on action to
compel complete financial respon-
Sibility for taxi cabs.
1t was on his motion that the
committee agreed to appoint a
subcommittee. 1t also was voted
to name SUBJ committees to exam
inc the liquor laws and ABC Board
to determine whether changes
should be made, and to ascertain
whether the Public Utilities Com
mission has too much authority.
Representative Everett Dirksen
(R) of Illinois told the committee
that after a thorough study Of
liquor laws and ABC Board regu-
lations he was convinced numer.
Gus changes should be made.
1t was after Representative vii.
liam Schultz CD of Indiana, pro.
tested against the Capital Transit
Company's proposal to increase
fares that the committee dis
cussed the Public Utilities Com.
mission. Schultz condemned the
company for seeking an increase.

Claim Policy on Spain
IsAbandonment of
British Rights
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

. LONDON, April IA G.N.S).
Charges that Britain's navy has at
last been forced to hoist the white
flag" thundered in the house OF
commons today as the Laborite
opposition moved to overthrow the
government of Premier Stanley
Baldwin with an assault on its
Spanish policy.
Mai. Clement Attlee, Laborite
leader, brought sharp official re-
tortS when he affirmed that Brit
ain, by warning merchant ships
not to enter Bilbao, beleaguered,
starving loyalist port, actually was
helping the Spanish insurgents.
Attlee said:
Franco (the insurgent gen.
eralSimi0) may not be able to
impose an effective blockade,
but the British government is
Obliging him."
Stormy scenes marked efforts
of Home Secretary Sir. John
Simon to reply to Attlee.

the house the governments action
was completely justified" owing
to sunken mines and the Spanish
blockade.
There were derisive comments
and ironical cheers from the OPP
position benches. At one point
the home secretary was forced to
sit down because of the Interrupt
tions.
When Britain told captains Of
merchantmen they would run
Frances blockade of Bilbao at
their own peril, the move, Major
Atlee charged, represented "a sur
render of the rights this country
has always maintained in behalf
of our shipping, and a grave

considerable pressure had been
brought to bear to veto the bill
and call a special session. 1t was
indicated the session would last

In his statement, the governor
said he had been wrong when he
advocated legalization of book

In discussing the special session
Senator Sasscer said:
First 1 want to say that I
do not approve of a real estate
