MADE.
ON PART-TIME
TAXI DRIVING
D. c. Heads TeIIHouse
Group They Have No
Definite Opinion

The District Commissioners in
formed the House District Commit
tee today that while they have no
definite opinion concerning a pro-
posal to prevent Government en-
ployes from driving taxicabs in
their spare time, they lin gen.
eral way" favor it's purpose.
This matter was discussed by
the House District Appropriations
subcommittee during the hear
ings on the District appropriation
bill and resulted in Representative
Ross Collins DO of Mississippi,
chairman of the subcommittee, OBJ
tanning a report from the city
heads as to the outside work done
by District employees.
Report on Proposal
In their report on the proposal
today, the Commissioners said:
"The doubt (which is in the
minds of the Commissioners con-
cerning the meaSure) is as to
the beneficial results of the bill,
if enacted, because of its limited
effect on the taxicab industry
as a whole. Of course, the pro-
hibitiOn as to Government en-
plOyeS would relieve to an extent
an OvercrOwded industry in the
District; but it is believed that
the number of Government en-
plOyeS in part-time taxicab opera
tiOnS is small when compared
with those having private COM
mercial employment who also
operate such cabs after hours.
"The Public Utilities Commits .
sion is of the opinion that the
operation of taxicabs and other
public vehicles for hire in the
District should be only by per-
sons making it a fuII-time Occu-
! patton. 1t believes that inequity
is done the fulI-time driver when
employees of the Government or
private business are permitted
to encrOach upon the field of
those who make common carrier
operation their fulltime under
taking, especially when the en-
crOachment occurs, as it usually
does, during that part Of the day
when the taxicab business is at
its best.
ANOTHER SIDE
"The Commissioners and the
Public Utilities Commission are
aware, however, that there may
be another side to the story in
that part-time taxicab operation
is sometimes carried on to sup
pIement meager salaries, and
that in instances Government
employees in the lover brackets
of compensation find it virtually
necessary to supplement their
salaries by taxicab operation or
other outside employment in
order to provide the necessities
of their families.
"The proposed bill would have
such tendency Ito reduce the
number of taxis operating here)
unless of course, the places of
Government drivers from part
time taxicab operations would be
taken by others regularly en-
pIOyed in either commercial or
industrial pursuits, or by addi-
tiOnal numbers willing to make
taxicab operation their fuIltime
occupation.
"The Public Utilities Commits
sion, in its reports, has from
time to time, indicated its be-
lief that one remedy that should
be considered by Congress is a
limitation upon the number of
taxicabs that should be permit
ted to operate in the District
by giving to that commission the
power to issue and deny certifi-
Gates Of convenience and neces-
Sity."

 Golf Crown

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 5-(UP)- Match play in the 4lst, annual women's national golf championship began today with GA survivors from @ field of ll9 matching strokes for the undefended crown of Pamela Barton of Great Britain.
 A new favorite loomed in Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Greensboro, N. O., who captured medal honors for the second successive year with @ par equalling 70 over this GAO yard course, sodden from three days of intermittent rain.
 Her cool shotmaking under these adverse conditions sent her into the l8-hole round of match play fa- vored over Marion Miley, slender star from Lexington, Ky. Miss Miley played well on the first nine, card- ing 0 4i, but her game fell apart coming home and she shot @ 46 for an 87.
 Closest to Mrs. Page yesterday were Patty Berg, freckle-f faced Minneapolis youngster, and Mrs. Gregg Lifur of Pacific Palisades, Calf, who were three strokes above par with 82's.

TARELLO, BUMBO TOP AMATEUR PROGRAM FRIDAY
Stellar Ten Bout Program Arranged-TurcOtte
 vs. Strong

Backed by Q summer of success kul shows in which some of the outstanding amateur boxing bouts of the season were put on in this city, the Waterbury A. o. through Promoters Mickey Dance and Rob- ert Kelly have lined up their first show of the indoor season, scheduled for Friday night ct Buckingham hall.
 In the opening presentation, the matchmakers have decided on Nick Tarello, hard hitting Hartford mid- dleweight, and Young Bumbo, the New Haven ring master, as the principals in the star bout of the evening. The match will top ten bout card and early indications point to real treat in fisticuffing.
 Sluggers De Luxe
 Despite their size, both Bumbo and Tarello are known throughout the state as two of the hardest hit- ters ever to crop up among the middleweights. Tarello is regarded as one of the best in his class and ring experts predict that he will 30 far if he is brought along in the right manner. Bumho'S fine record speaks for itself and he too Is destined for better things.
 Tarello will be making his debut before Q Waterbury fight audience. He hold Q pair of wins over Fred die Pease, of Willimantic, the Irish favorite who scored knockout over Joe Triano, of Naugatuck at the akaAiS,Vao SlISyiVHe fhA oV1VaV,Aan TSa also includes among his list of vic- tiInsv Irish Mickey Donahue, of Stamford, in two occasions; Billy Welsh, of Stratford, and Charlie Hopkins of Willimantic.
 Bumbo has appeared here on sev- eral occasions and has yet to give Q disappointing performance. He has Q clean bill so far as his Wa terhury appearances are concerned and in his last showing at the sta- alum came through with knock out win over Billy Sullivan of Tor. rington. He is anxious to keep his Waterbury string intact and has his guns pointed for c win over Ia rello.
 Strong Foe
 Waterburys' own Dick Turcotte will also have a place on the pro- gram. He has been billed to go against Jimmy Strong. Bridgeport Negro slugger, in another of the advertised features. In his last bout here, Turcotte won over Young WaTen, of Meriden, while Strong, making his bow locally Friday night, scored Q decisive victory over War rem in New Haven two weeks ago. He was able to floor the Silver City mixer, something Turcotte failed at In two attempts. It was originally hoped to send Turcotte against Ed die Dulmaine, of Worcester, on the initial indoor card but the match- makers received word last night that Dulmaine injured his hand in Q rec cent bout and would be unable to appear.
 Steve Pinkham, Hartford light. weight, and Frankie Radigan, Tor- rington Southpaw, are to meet. Pink ham has c brilliant record, unde- feated in his last IS starts, and feols confident Of adding the New City 1risnman to his long list of vic- tins. Radigan dropped Q close decision to Tommy Ciarlo, of this city, here recently but made a hit with the fans.
 Fighters from Hartford, Bridge port, New Haven, Torrington, New Britain, Naugatuck and Waterbury, will be on hand to make up the remaining bouts.
 Tickets are on sale ct Mulligan's Restaurant, Phoenix avenue.
