Taxi Drivers 10 Get
Insurance Stickers,
Board Decides
Proposed Revocation
Postponed With Row
At Court Stage

Eight hundred taxicab drivers who
hold their liability insurance policies
in the Hutchins Mutual Insurance
Co., received assurance that they
will get their next weeks insurance
stickers when the Public Utilities
Commission agreed late yesterday to
hold in allegiance its proposed revo-
cation of the certificates issued by
the Hutchins firm.
Attorneys for the insurance COM
pany were expected to file in the
United States Court of Appeals to-
morrow a petition for a temporary
injunction against j. Balch Moor,
District superintendent of insurance,
and the Public Utilities Commission.
The company has failed to obtain
an injunction in District Court.
The insurance sticRers, which
show that the taxicab driver is au-
thorized to operate the vehicle be-
cause the weekly insurance has been
paid, were sent out by the Utilities
Commission after the agreement was
reached yesterday. For time, the
800 drivers faced temporary loss of
their jobs because the validity Of
the Hutchins firm was threatened,
but a District Court conference
smoothed out the situation.
Petition Is Filed.
A petition for rule to show cause
was filed in District Court by
lawyers for Hutchins - William
jeff Lichtenberg and Irwin Gold
stein-against Mr.. Moor and the
Utilities Commission. But when
the case came before Justice Oscar
r. Luhring, he suggested that the
proposed revocation of the certif1ca-
ton to the Utilities Commission on
behalf of the Hutchins company be
held in abeyance and that the stick
ers be issued for the coming week,
but only to those cabs on which the
premium of insurance had been
paid on or before yesterday.
The court, in effect, declined to
restrain the Utilities Commission
and Mr.. Moor, but the intervening
time will enable the Hutchins COM
pany to attempt to secure an in
junction from the Court of Appeals.
Attending the hearing before JUS
tice Luhring were Attorneys Lich-
tenberg and Goldstein and Attorney
Harry T. Whelan, who represents
some 500 cab drivers affected by the
orders. In addition, the court lis
tened to counsel for the District
government.
Agree to Speed Case.
Mr.. Lichtenberg announced that
counsel for the insurance company,
In order to expedite the litigation,
agreed to consider the recent action
of the court in denying the tempo
rary injunction as the final District
Court action. This, he explained,
was in order to have the matter
called to the attention Of the Court
of Appeals at an early date on the
special calendar. f15s-
James L. Martin, executive secre-
tAry Of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion, declared that stickers only for
the coming week will be issued.
Counsel for Hutchins contend that
the regulations of the superintend-
ent of insurance: are irregular and
unconstitutional. and are directed
against mutual insurance companies
and are discretionary in favor Of
stock companies. re

the burden of tax laid upon respond

is but a necessary incident to the CO.
existence within the same organized
government of the two taxing SOW
ereigns, and hence is burden the
existence of which the Constitution
presupposes. The immunity, if allowed
would impose to an inadmissible extent

tween New York and New Jersey to

tions in New York Harbor 1t owns

nels and interstate bus lines.
Justice Stone pointed out that the
implied restriction on the power of
the Federal Government to tax State
instrumentalitieS was first announced
in the case of collector VS.. Day."
That case, he said, sustained the i'm
munity from Federal taxation of the
salary of State judge, because "the
immunity was deemed necessary to
protect the States from destruction by
the Federal taxation of those govern
mental functions which they were ex-
ercising when the Constitution was
adopted and which were essential to
their continued existence"
He agreed, however. that there are
cogent reasons why any constitutional
restriction upon the taxing power
granted to Congress so far as it can
be properly raised by implication,
should be narrowly limited"
All Duties Not Immune.
"In a period marked by constant
expansion of Government activities and
the steady multiplication of the COM
plexities of taxing systems" Justice
Stone said, "it is perhaps too much to
expect that the judicial pronounce
ments marking the boundaries of
State immunities should present a
completely logical pattern. But they
disclose no purposeful departure from,
and indeed definitely establish, two
guiding principles of limitation for
holding the tax immunity Of State in
strumentalities to its proper function"
This, he said, means that activities
not essential to the preservation of
State governments are not immune
from taxation and that tax can be
levied on individuals if the resulting
burden to the State is so speculative
and uncertain that if allowed it would
restrict the Federal taxing power with
out affording any corresponding tan
gible protection to the State govern
ment.

in the open class contest.
In the contest closed to members
of the National Aeronautic Associ-
alton, the Carter plane repeated the
victory with an average flying time
OF minutes seconds. The averages
were based on the two longest flights
made by each plane in the two-day
meet.

The ace pilot by proxy will be
rewarded by trip to Philadelphia
with Col. Clarence Chamberlin, the
transatlantic flyer, at the plane con-
trolls. Col. Chamberlin will escort

White House Bid
Ruled an Honor,
Not q Pleasure

It's an honor to accept White
House invitation and not a pleasure.
That was the opinion Of White
House secretary today on a question
that has been troubling recipients Of
such invitations What is the correct
form for signifying acceptance?
When the matter was brought up
at Mrs. Roosevelt's press conference
today, however, it was impossible TO
get an official statement from social
secretaries on other fine points of the
acceptances. such as whether or not
the name of the guest should precede
that of the President.
How do you express the fact that
it is an honor to accept the invitation
If you place the name of the Presi-
dent before that of the guest, several
newspaper women queried?
And how do you spell honor?"
If it's any comfort to guests who
have not definitely lined up with any
one school of thought. however, it
was revealed that no one form is used
enough to give it majority standing.
The important thing seems to be to
get the invitation answered.
