Order Limiting 1axitabs
Is Upheld by Court

The Public Utilities Commission s
order limiting taxicabs operated by
a single association to 1000 was up
held by Justice Daniel w. ODono-
ghue in District Court yesterday.
Holding the order was in the in
terest of the general welfare, JUS
tice ODonoghue granted a motion
by the commissions counsel to dis
miss the bill filed recently by the
Independent Taxi Owners Associa.
tion, Inc, l735 Fourteenth street
NV.
The association appealed from the
commission order of June 80 re-
stricting cabs operated by one or
ganfzation to 1000. The order did
not apply to an association with a
fleet in excess of that number on
the effective date of the order
The Public Utilities Commission
directed cab operators not to add
any new cabs until the number in
their fleet fell below 1000 and then
never to permit them to go above
that figure.
Association counsel contended the
commission is purely an admins
trative agency, that the order was
outside the commissions power and
not in the public interest. This view
was opposed by Corporation Coun-
sci Elwood H. Seal and Lloyd B.
Harrison, special assistant corpora
ton counsel, who handles commits
sion matters.

Lecturer Describes
Palestine Conflict

The bitter war in Palestine be-
tween the Jews and the Arabs was
described last night to a National
Geographic Society audience in Con-
stitution Hall by w. Robert Moore,
whose first-hand knowledge of the
subject included a narrow escape
from a terrorist's bomb in a Haifa
market.
The motion pictures which accom-
panied Mr.. Moore's lecture showed
stockade- like outposts, barriers of
barbed wire, highways guarded by
troops, and countrysides dotted with
military camps.
The Jewish homesteaders, like the
early American pioneers, go armed
to work and religious services. Mr..
Moore said, and farm communities
now are building their homes and
barns inside stockades overlooked
by sentry towers.
Roaming bands of terrorists strike
swiftly and flee to the hills before
the British troops arrive. Mr.. Moore
estimated that Britain now has
10000 troops trying to keep order in
the turbulent country.
The months of fighting and un-
rest. however, have not stopped the
modernization of the country.
All-weather motor highways are
being pushed through the deserts,
and camel caravans must make room
on the Bagdad road for stream
lined, air-conditioned passenger
buses.
Mr.. Moore showed scenes of Tel
Aviv, the new city whose modern
buildings have risen amid the sand
dunes.

Post Office Urges
YuIe Greetings
Go First Glass

It may be sentiment-or simply
good business-but at any rate. the
Post ONCE Department is instruct
ing postmasters to urge patrons to
send Christmas cards by flrst-class
rather than third-class mail.
Large numbers of Christmas
greetings, mailed in unsealed envel-
opes at the third-class rate of post
age, are disposed of as waste each
year because they are unbelievable
as addressed, due to removal Of the
addressee or other cause" q notice
in the daily Postal Bulletin explains.
such greetings are not entitled to
the free forwarding privilege ac-
corded those mailed in sealed envel-
opes at the first-class rate, and con-
sequently, the senders in many cases
never know that the greetings were
not received by the addressee."
This, says the bulletin, is liable
to cause disappointment" Further,
it adds, written messages are per-
mlssable on cards sent f1rst-class,
giving them thereby - personal ap-
peal which is, of course. more
highly appreciated"
