To Real Emergencies

Disregard Of the new taxicab
regulations for military necessity
is not justified by soldiers dash
back to camp before his leave ex-
pires, Joseph B. Eastman, defense
transportation director, pointed out
today.
Mr.. Eastman cited this as an ex-
ample of a case in which the 10
mile town limit could not be
exceeded.
He construed military necessity as
a trip in actual line of duty, not for
the personal convenience of a men,
ber of the armed forces. "a
Most OF the requests for exemp-
ton from the regulations, Mr.. East
man said. concern the 10-mile limit.
This order will be waived, he en-
phasized, only in case of such
emergencies as accident, sickness.
death, public calamity or real mill
tary necessity.
In no instance, Mr.. Eastman said.
will the order be waived where some
other type of public transportation
for these long hauls is available.
Regulations Effective Today.
Most of these longer trips result
in the taxicab's result in the taxi
cabs returning empty, Mr.. Eastman
pointed out, and this is a waste of
rubber, gas and equipment which
rann0t ha nerrnitfod
The new taxi regulations are
effective today. They prohibit driv-
ers from cruising, confining them to
stands, and do not allow them to
use their taxis for pleasure driving
for themselves or their families.
Commercial deliveries of property
in taxicab is another item under the
ban for the duration. This, Mr..
Eastman explained, will prevent
taxicabs from being turned into
light delivery vehicles.
Group riding in cabs Is encour-
aged under the regulations, ito
facilitate mass transportation, as
we'll as to conserve tires"
The ODT said group riding should
be worked out locally to comply
with State and municipal laws.
Regulatory Bodies Aid.
The order provides that private
motorists who take part in group
transportation plans between home
and work are exempt from the taxi
cab restrictions.
Local regulatory bodies, such as
the District Public Utilities Com
were said to have shown
themselves in full accord with the
spirit of the order and to be CO.
operating actively in complying
with it.
Many communities, Mr.. Eastman
reported, are expanding the num-
Der of taxi stands to take the place

nate the 10-year ban against al
lowing children below the age of

available, the committee will de-
vote itself largely to organizational
work and the training of volunteer

waiting for official action on Fed
eral funds"

them. Yet they are so hard that, as
you brush them back and forth,
they gradually wear away the softer

F at Freddy Fit1 Dropped by Dodgers; |Crabtree, Handley Go|

New York, May 26.-(UP)-Major leagues clubs we're down to the 25- player limit today and ready to settle down for the long grind.
 When the player limit went into effect last night at midnight the ax fell on Freddy Fitzsimmons, Brooklyn,s colorful knuckleball pitcher and one of the games most popular players. Fitz, who'll be Al July 28, was released as player but probably will be signed as a Dodger coach at a conference with President Larry MacPhail today.
 During long career with the Giants and Dodgers, Fitz won PA games and lost 142 for percentage of .60l. In 1940 he won 16 games and lost only two for a percentage of .889, the National league record. This season he pitched only one game, being knocked out of the box in four innings by Pittsburgh, a team he had beaten 13 straight times.
 New Manager
 The Cardinals released veteran outflelder Estel Crabtree to their Rochester International league farm club and named him manager to succeed Tuny Kaufman. Crab tree managed the Rochester club for a short time in 1940, replacing Billy Southworth, who was promot- ed to the Cardinals. Shortly there after he had to retire because of illness.
 The Boston Braves released Art Johnson, southpaw pitcher, to Hart ford of the Eastern league. He is subject to 24-hour recall.
 Pittsburgh optiond infielder Lee Handley to the Toronto Interna- tional league to give him a chance to play regularly and find out whether the arm he injured in an automobile accident last December has recovered.
 The Chicago Cubs sent pitcher Bob Bowman to Toronto on option. He pitched one inning for the Cubs against the Cards yesterday, his only appearance this season.
 Pitcher John Whitehead was sold outright to the San Antonio Texas league club by the St. Louis Browns, placing the Brownies one under the limit.
