Taxi Driver Held Up
By ) Who Use Cab
For Another Robbery
Victim Forced to Lie
On Back Seat While
Thugs Go on Tour

A 5S-year- old taxicab driver told
police he was held by three men
last night and then forced to lie
on the rear seat of his cab, his face
covered with newspapers, while the
trio went on tour that included
another robbery, apparently that OF
a streetcar conductor.
Ernest Braswell, 1896 Ogden street
NV, reported he was hailed in
the 1900 block of H street NE. by
three men who asked to be taken
to Capitol Heights. Md. On arriv-
ing there, they said they wanted to
go several miles farther. Then one
directed that the cab be stopped,
and he got out while the other two
held up Mr.. Braswell at gun point,
taking between $3.50 and $3.50, the
driver related.
The car was driven away with
Mr.. BraSwell on the back seat, and
when it halted two of the men got
out while the other covered" him
with gun. Sounds indicated an
other holdup was in progress, he
IOlu ponce.
At about this time, H. A. Donald
son, AZ, of 1401 Sixteenth street
NE, a street car motorman, was
accosted by an armed man as he
was shifting trolleys at Sixty third
and Dix streets NE, end of the
line. MI. Donaldson reported he
told the man he had no money and
then. was ordered into the street
car as a second man approached.
The pair took $22 from the pocket
and change from the change carrier
of the conductor, Frank H. Thatcher,
Is, of 1926 A street NE.
They made their escape in a cab
the description of which tailed
with that of Mr.. Braswells We
hicle.
Mr.. Braswell said the three men
finally left him with his cab on
Rhode Island avenue in Mount
Rainier, Md, after warning him to
remain there for a time.

 In view of the increased responsi- bilities of the Department, particu- larly those brought about by the great increase in population at na- tional defense centers, the funds cut is considered most unfortunate.
 Missouri Out Entirely
 The Department here has received word that the entire Federal Mater nal and Child Health appropriation for the State of Missouri has been cancelled this year on grounds that State officials have not met Social Security Board standards.
 The Alaska slash undoubtedly will mean drastic reduction in the amount of venereal disease control drugs which will be distributed next year as well as a curbing of the ac- tivities of the Tuberculosis Clinician, whose travel funds will be affected. A badly-needed Laboratory Techni- clan in the Anchorage lab will also have to be dispensed with.
