PROGRESSIVE

Sol was real progressive leader. He stood for everything that would help the laboring people of our City, State and nation. If an inn pOrtant committee assignment was necessary you would always find Sol on that committee and he would always study the subject before pre- senting his views. Whoever will be chosen to fill the position he Oc- cupied as recording secretary of the New Haven Central Labor Council will have a hard time to beat his record as an officer of our Central Labor body.

LOCAL NO. 28l

For a number of years he served as President of Local No. 281, Divi- sion of Street Railway & Motor Coach Employees Union. The officers and members of that progressive union were more than shocked at his pass ing. It was a tribute to Sol, to his race, and to his Local, that he, a Jew, should be chosen year after year

to lead that union as its president, when the overwhelming majority of its members were of other racial lini- age.
 The Brotherhood of Street Railway X Motor Coach Employees Union loved Sol and certainly paid great tribute to him by the number of their members that were present at his funeral.
 FAREWELL, SOL!
 1t would be an easy matter for me to go on telling you of his fine qualities as a leader of labor but Sol would not want it that way. As fellow trade-unionist who knew him we'll felt the urge to say these few words of departed friend. To his family, to Local No. 281, Divi- sion of Street Railway & Motor Coach Employes and to his many friends in the Central Labor body. I sympathize with them in their great loss.
 Sol Alperovitz is gone but his memory and his works on this earth as a trade-uniOnist will never be forgotten.

Increase Is Sought
In Taxicab Rates.;
3Oc Minimum Asked
Owners Association
Would Have Fare 20
Plus 20 for 2-Zone Ride

A substantial increase in taxicab
zone rates was sought this afternoon
in a petition filed with the Public
Utilities Commission by the Taxicab
Owners Association. represented by
John H. Royer, jr., association presi-
dent.
AS the result of 10000 question
naires distributed among associa-
ton members, the group filed a pc
tition requesting a change in taxi
cab rates, so as to provide mini
mum fare of 80 cents for any trip
confined to one zone, and that the
fare for any trip which extends from
one zone to another shall be 20
cents for the first zone and 20 cents
additional for each additional zone
entered.
The new proposal would eliminate
what is commonly called the free"
zone concerned in travel from a
point in one zone to another point
in the same zone, when the boundary
lines of another zone are crossed en-
route.
Mr.. Roger said the following COM
panies or associations were backing
the petition: Premier Cab, Bell Cab,
Diamond Cab, Arrow Cab, Yellow
Cab, Washington Cab, Blue Light
Cab, American Cab, Federal Cab
and Checker Cab.

majority, could approve certain

could not pass on any proposed in

Dupont Probers
Wait Telegram
Lease
Apartment Owner
Tells Of Negotiations
With Government
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By WILL p. KENNEDY.

Chairman Lanham of the House
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee, which is investigating the
proposed Government leasing of the
Dupont Circle Apartment, is pre-
pairing to place before the committee
in executive session tomorrow morn
ing a telegram throwing additional
light on the lease negotiations.
The telegram was revealed this
afternoon by Harry L. Newman,
president of the corporation owning
the apartment, after another hear
ing by the committee this morning
failed to bring out just how Mr..
Newman had authority to open
negotiations for the leasing of the
apartment with the Government be-
fore he bought the property on July
3. The congressional hearings re-
suited after numerous complaints
were made by tenants ousted or
facing custer because Of the pro-
jected lease to the Government.
The telegram, dated April II, l941,
before Mr.. Newma became president
of the corporation owning the apart
ment. was from Paul " Rogers. a
stockholder and counsel for the cor
poration.
Text of Telegram.
The telegram read:
LAS stated, can deliver entire hotel
stock issue for $368,000 and indem-
nifty purchaser against any addi-
tional cost other than current oper-
ating expense. No other proposal
will be entertained go days pending
your negotiations.
Mr.. Rogers and his law partner,
William E. Furey, it has been tes-
titled, each held 10 per cent of the
stock of the corporation. Mr.. Furey
was secretary.
Mr.. Newman said.
The telegram speaks for itself
1t can be verified from the files Of
the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
both here and in Florida. I exer-
cised and took up the option before
1t expired, making payment
thereon to bind the bargain and
the closing proceedings in the mat
ter then continued until completely
consumated on July 3. This shows
abundantly that no one could have
leased or sold the property to the
Government or to any one else
without my permission and consent
during that time.
Tells of Negotiations.
After having proceeded for some
time upon receipt of the option to
purchase, to take over the property
as hotel and to make my arrange
ments therefore, 1 learned that the
Government wanted to lease the
premises. The negotiations between
Government officials and myself
finally eliminated in the agreement
set forth by the Government wit
nesses and myself. In strict ac-
cordance with the letters written
to me by the Government executed
the lease and delivered and gave it
to the Government in line with
their letters to me, discharging
completely and fully every under
taking I had assumed"
Chairman Lanham said this aft
ernoon that he has not yet received
the telegram, but was promised a
photostatic copy of it with a state
ment by Mr.. Newman to reach his
Office this afternoon.
