B[|NKER LIGHTS
URGED FOR TAX|S
Police Department Suggests
Installation to Guard
Against HoId.upS.

The Police Department has sug-
gested to taxicab companies that they
install ''blinker" lights as emergency
signals on all cabs to guard against
chief Of detectives, said today.
His announcement followed two
taxi hold-ups last night, in which one
cab driver was forced to drive five
men to Rockville, Md, and was left
bound on the rear seat of his cab on
returning to Washington, and another
was robbed of 50 by two passengers
"Blinkers" Bring Aid.
Capt. Keck said the "blinker" light
signal system had been used with con-
siderable success in Baltimore for
about q year. He explained that
special colored lights are installed on
the top of the cab at the front cor
ners. When a driver finds a sus-
picious character in his cab or is be-
ing held up he can touch concealed
button that sets the warning lights
to blinking. These emergency signals
attract police cars and other cab
drivers to the victims aid. Capt. Keck
said the system had trapped several
taxi bandits in Baltimore.
Cab association officials have been
studying the Police Department pro-
posal, but have delayed action on in
stallation of the system here on ac-
count of the cost involved, it was un-
derstood.
The cab-driver victims of hold
ups last night were Sandy I. Pullman,
colored, 1927 New Jersey avenue NV,
and John T. Reeves, Colmar Manor,
Md.
