Members Of the Public Utilities
Commission today studied a petit
tion filed by Ringgold Hart, attor-

Company, seeking reconsideration
of the commissions order limiting
cab associations to 1000 cabs.
The Diamond company operates
fleet of LOO cabs and under the
commissions order could take in
no more cabs until its present
numerical strength drops below
the 1000 mark.
The commission issued the or
der in an effort to aid operators
who do not belong to associations

POLITICAL STEW
PLAQUES FOLK

Free Press, Golf Course,
Beer and Wine Issues

Uncle Sans Utopia-the Green
belt low-cost housing project-to-
day found itself in political
stew, despite all its plans to govern
the model city on a nonpartisan
basis.
Three major points of conten-
ton among the dwellers at the
much publicized community orig
inally known as Tugwelltown in
volve freedom of the press, the
sale Of wine and beer and private
golf course.
CURB ON PRESS
A curb On the press developed
when several premature releases
appeared in the community paper,
the Greenbelt Cooperator. The
action taken was in form of
motion ruling that no representa-
tive of newspaper could serve
on the town council.
Proposal to establish a private
golf course brought loud protests
from some of the residents who
declared that such a luxury within
the ranks Of low-cost renters would
result in severe outside criticism.
BEVERAGE SALE
The argument as to whether beer
and wine should be sold within
the community is expected to be
settled following further discus
sion between Federal and State
officials as to the type Of license
necessary in event the people want
local sale of the beverages.
Meanwhile survey is being
made by the local store to deter
mine if a majority of the residents
want beer and wine. Last report
made on the vote on this issue re-
vealed that $50 of the ITO who
have voted favor local sale Of the
beverages.
