Taxi Drivers 10 Vote
Monday and tuesday
On Rate Zone Strike
Operators Also Will
Consider Petition for
Removal of Hunkin

officials of the United Taxicab
Drivers, Inc, today went ahead with
plans for a referendum meeting
Monday and Tuesday to instruct
their representatives on a program
to be advanced in conference with
the Public Utilities Commission.
Edwin A. Glenn, president of the
group, said a vote would be taken
on the program to be sought and
which would be backed in confer
ence with PUG officials, with pos
sible continuation of the vacation"
or strike.
The union members, which Mr..
Glenn said now constitute about 25
per cent of the drivers, at an earlier
meeting called for establishment of
zones at 0-50-7O-9O-cent rates in
stead of the present 30-40-60-80-
cent rates and the zones would be
changed slightly to reduce certain
inequities."
Calls Wednesday Meeting.
Meanwhile, Chairman Gregory
Hankin of the Public Utilities Com
mission announced plans for con-
ference at 10 am. Wednesday with
representatives of cab driver or
ganizations and operators. Mr.
Glenn and his group will be "wel-
comed," it was said.
The taxicab union leader said one
of the things to be taken up In the
referendum was whether they
should push for the removal of Mr.
Hankin. A petition, he said, has
already been started for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Hankin said the confer
ence was called to outline "the
steps to be taken in the COM
missions review of it's zone and rate
order" He stressed this was an
informal conference, not a hearing,
and that therefore the press would
not be admitted, nor individual
operators, but only spokesmen for
any Substantial group" of drivers
and operators.
Plans Unchanged.
Mr.. Glenn later said the commits
sion's conference call did not change
plans for the taxi driver referendum
He added: IF the press is not ad-
mitted, I don't know if I care to
attend. The public should know
what goes on at these PUG confer
ences."
Mr.. Hankin said the Wednes-
day conference would discuss meth
ods of determining who repre-
sents whom" as to the member
ship of taxi companies, associations
or other groups. Referring to the
special PUG session late yesterday
Mr.. Hankin said it had not arrived
at any decision on how this shoulo
be determined. I'VE are approach
ing the matter with open minds or
every phase of the problem" he
added.
Asked if there was any proposa
pending, he said: Nothing more
definite than to remain entirely
open minded on any suggestions
that might be made"
Order Changes Boundaries.
The situation developed over op-
position from some cab drivers anC
operators to the new taxi zones anC
rates ordered by the PUG. This or
der changed some of the boundarie:
of the old four zones, but subdivideC
zones 2, and into 81 subzoles anc
fixed specific charges for any and al
trips.
Under the leadership of United
Taxicab Drivers many cab driver.
went on strike week ago last Wed.
nesday, but this was halted by House
District Committee agreement fol
restudy of the commissions order.
The drivers are to meet at 80S
street NV. Monday and Tuesday
Mr.. Glenn said.

All Nominees
Approved for
Senate Units Report
May Be Acted On by
Committee Monday

Approved UNANIMOUSLY Dy
Senate subcommittee late yester-
day the eight judgeship nominal
tions for the reorganized lower
courts of the District will be sub
mitted to the entire Judiciary Com
mittee for action Monday morning.
Only two of the appointees met
opposition during two days OF public
hearings-Judge Walter J. Casey Of
Police Court and Judge Nathan
Cayton of Municipal Court. In
both cases, however, numerous
members of the bar appeared in
their favor, and the subcommittee
decided for the nominees.
The Washington Bar Association,
composed of colored attorneys. COM
planned that Judge Casey shows bias
in trials where the issue is between
white and colored litigants. A long
list of attorneys, including number
of colored lawyers, took the stand,
however, to deny they had seen any
indication of prejudice. Judge
Casey added his own denial that
he entertains any such prejudice.
Two Protests Against CaytOn.
Two individual protests were made
against Judge Cayton, complaining
of his method of conducting Mu-
nicipal Court cases. In this In
stance also, many members OF the
bar came forward to praise his rec
ord and to support his nomination
for promotion to the new Municipal
Court of Appeals.
The subcommittee was composed
of Senators McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, chairman, and Murdock,
Democrat, of Utah and Burton, Re-
publican, of Ohio. The complete
list of nominees follows:
For the new Municipal Court
William E. Richardson, to be presid-
ing judge, with Judge Cayton and
Andrew NJ Hood as associate judges.
For the merged Police and Num-
cipal Court-George P. Barse, to be
presiding judge, and Judges Casey,
Brice Clagett, Nathan R. Margold
and Aubrey B. Fennell, to be asso-
ciate judges.
If the full committee ratifies the
subcommittee favorable report
Monday, it is probable the Senate
will take early action, in view of the
: fact the court reorganization was
due to have taken place July /.
Relate Court Incidents.
At the final hearing yesterday,
three colored attorneys took the
stand to relate court incidents which
were offered in Sllpport of the pre ill-
dice charge. They we're Henry
Lincoln johnson, George A. Parker
and William A. Powell. Thurman l..
Dodson, former president of the
Washington Bar Association, stated
that Perry w. Howard also joined
in the protest, but was prevented
by illness from attending.
Two other colored attorneys, c. D.
Arts and Frank w. Adams, went on
record for Judge Casey as an i'm
partial jurist. Mr.. Arts said he is
corresponding secretary of the
Washington Bar Association. Mr..
Adams gave his Endorsement In a
letter to the subcommittee. ..
The second protest against Judge
Cayton came yesterday from Mrs.
Mary Wright johnson, who COM
planned of the way two cases were
handled in Small Claims Court. The
first objection to Judge Cayton was
registered Thursday by one member
of the bar. Additional Endorsements
of Judge Cayton were registered
yesterday by other lawyers.

Civil Defense Corps 'AIerted'
For Axis Attack Contingency

sponse to the following telegram to
Col Bolles and other commanders
in this area, which includes the Dis
trict, Maryland, Virginia and Penn
sylvania:
"The third regional Office would
ask State commanders to consider
the advisability of holding in readi-
ness, if not actually alerting, part
of the organization of the Citizens
Defense Corps in critical areas over
the coming holiday week end.
THE combination of the most
popular national holiday and Sun
day holiday produces the favorite
time factor for an Axis attack or
sabotage activities.
Let us not be caught mapping
because of a fear that some one may
accuse us of crying wolf. Remem-
ber that it is far better to be pre-
pared time and again unnecessarily

2-Pound Sugar
Bonus Granted

AIIotments Hiked
Under Coupon No. L;
Industry Gets More

A present to the Nations homes
IN the form of an extra two-pound
package of sugar for each person
was announced today by Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson.
Extra quantities of sugar also will
be made available to industrial and
institutional users as an increase in
September and october allotments,
Mr.. Henderson said.
Additional sugar may be pur-
chased by consumers on their July
10 stamp, which is No. Z. The extra
amount may be bought any time
through August %.
Mr.. Henderson said the extra ra-
ton of two pounds per person is
made possible by receipt of some
what heavier imports than were
anticipated than when present ra-
tions were fixed.
No Basic Ration Assurance.
1t is not possible, he added, to
give assurance regarding the con-
tinuing basic ration allotment be-
cause there is no certainty the ship
ping situation will remain as favor
able as it has been in recent months
Mr.. Henderson announced last
week the shipping and supply situ-
alton would be studied with view
to increasing the sugar ration. Con-
situations with shipping officials
and the War Production Board de-
termined that 3,435 900 short tons
of sugar would be available for dis
tribution to civilian consumers be-
tween July l and December 81 of
this year.
The price administrator pointed
out that in view of the perils to
shipping from submarines and
"mine-sowing," no one can foresee
whether sufficient supplies of sugar
can be brought into the country to
maintain present rations levels
through 1943. The extra ration will
mean a total distribution of zoo, 900
tons of sugar.
Simply Present Coupon.
OPA explained that actual distri-
button of extra sugar will be
simple process, entailing no red tape.
1t will not be necessary to approach
local rationing boards to get the
extraordinary allowance.
Industrial and institutional users
OF sugar will get their extra sup
plies when they apply for regular
allotments for use in September and
October, which may. be done on or
after August Is.
Institutional users, including res
taurants. hospitals. ETC.. will receive
IS per cent of their normal needs
instead OF so per cent as regularly
allowed. Industrial users will re-
ceive 80 per cent of normal require
ments instead of 10 per cent as
heretofore

|1,400 Street PAYERS
Here Ask NLRB 10
Settle Union Dispute
Both CIO and Lewis
District 50 Claim
Local Jurisdiction

Fourteen hundred Washington
street PAYERS today are awaiting
word from the National Labor Re-
lations Boards regional Office in
Baltimore as to whether the street
PAYERS should belong to the new
pro- Murray United Paving and
Building Supply Workers, Local In
dustrial Union 1921, or to the pro-
Lewis District so of the United Mine
Workers.
The board is expected to set a date
for a hearing on the question,
brought into the open by petit
ton to NRLB yesterday for certifi-
cation of the new Local 1921. The
jurisdictional squabble is a result
of the feud between Philip Murray,
president of the CIO and John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America and predeces-
sor of Mr.. Murray as CIO president.
Formerly in CIO Local.
All the street PAYERS belonged for
merly to Local 30 of the United
Construction Workers Organizing
Committee, CIO, which was dis
solved.
A. D. Lewis brother of the UNIV
president and UNIV official here,
promptly transferred construction
workers local unions to District so,
UNIV. District so, of which Miss
Kathryn Lewis, daughter of John L.,
is secretary treasurer, also blankets
under its jurisdiction coke, chemical.
gas, cosmetic and dairy unions.
The nine local contractors are
sending union dues deducted from
pay checks to District so, according
to Sidney B. Katz, field representa-
tive of the CIO. Actually the PAYERS
voted before dissolution of Local 30,
he contends, to affiliate directly with
the CIO in Local 1921, rather than
negotiate through District SO.
Contractors Confused.
Local contractors, he complained
| to the NLRB, are so confused that
they maintain an attitude that
| they are uncertain as to who in
TACT does represent the men and
have refused to bargain with the
United Paving and Building Supply
| Workers"
The NLRB is expected to set a
date for a hearing on the question
If past NLRB practices are followed,
PAYERS here believe they will be
asked to hold an election to deter
mine their collective bargaining rep
resentative.

tent and pleading suppliants. And
the sacrificial offer of Judah stir
red his soul to its depths until
calm could come alone in self-re-
violation and reconciliation.
5. A Sublime Virture. Review
this stirring incident and see if
self sacrifice is not the output and
flower of many other virtues. 1t
is not cold. isolated calculating
trait; it must be fostered and pro-
PEELED by other graces. So we
find the former faults and vices of
Judah vanish in the presence of
this royal deed. Think of his
honesty and fair dealing; of his
loyalty to his word to Jacob in
Canaan, to the steward by the way
side, and to Joseph in the palace;
of the transparency that welcomed
examination; and the spirit Of re-
stitution which carried him hack
to reckon with his royal accuser;
of his confession of past iniquity;
of his humility and love and patti
ence and the evident faith that
somehow all would turn out for
the best. How far he had travel
ed on the hotter road since the
sale of Joseph at Dothan! Nor can
anyone scale the summit of self
abnegation except by the up-reach
ing foothills Of contributing
graces.
6 A Sublime Example. We are
moved by the story of Judah's
sacrifical spirit. Yet it was but
fingerbcard pointing onward to
the infinitely greater selfsacrifice
of him who gave "his life ran
som for many" Did he not love
us with a love more tender than
that Of Judah for Benjamin? Did
the willing bondman at Joseph's
feet suffer anguish comparable to
that horne by Jesus who ZEN
dured the cross, despising shame?
Could Judah be more successful in
his plea than our advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the right
eous"? And through him we can
secure riches SURPRISING the gran
aries of Egypt and enter "a better
country that the fertile valley of
the Nile,
Z. A Sublime Possibility. Not
Judah before Joseph, nor the God
man at the Place of the Skull, can
alone display the courage and dar-
ing and heroism Of self-sacrifice.

Notes Analytical and REPOSITORY
The sublimity Of self-sacrifice is
striking seen in Judah as suppl

supremely exemplified in Judah's
greater Son on the hill called Cal

to very believer, however high

they who struggle toward it and
