they tend to duplicate existing
streetcar lines, a letter from the

disseminating parallel car and bus
lines.

TaxiContract
Service Slated
For orScrutinY
P. U. c. Calls Hearing
On Barriers to
Pickup Extension

The entire question of contrac-
tural obligations entered into by
some of Washington's taxicabs, such
as the Diamond concession at Union
Station, will be explored by the
Public Utilities Commission in con-
nection with its decision to require
all cab operators to participate in
the emergency, rush hour, 20-cent
pickup service.
Spokesman for the Independent
Taxi Owners Association Dia-
mond are opposing the commits
sion plan and recently recited 20
reasons why its members should
not be required to join the special
service.
Date Not Yet Set.
Following an executive session
yesterday, the commission an
nounced it had decided to order
all cabs, except the Diamond, into
the service at once. and that a
formal hearing would be held on
the arguments presented by Dia-
mond spokesmen on the question
of special contractural obligations
to give service to Union Station,
hotels and other places. The date
for the hearing is yet to be set and
the formal order was expected to
be issued today.
Commission Chairman Gregory
are ordered into the pickup service,
cab drivers still would be permitted
to answer call box calls for cabs or
to respond to emergency calls, such
as to take a passenger to hos
pital. In the latter instance, he
suggests that the drivers sound
their automobile horns so that pros
pective customers for the pickup
service would know the drivers were
making emergency trips.
Involves All Companies.
The hearing on contractural OBJ
legations would involve any and all
companies having such arrange
ments, Mr.. Hankin said, adding that
the commission would consider
whether there should be such spe-
cial agreements or how they might
be fitted into the pickup service
plan
May l was the deadline for re-
sponses to the commissions order
for cab associations, companies or
independents to show cause why
they should not be required to par
ticipate in the rush hour pickup
service. A recapitulation yesterday
showed no replies had been re-
ceived from 139 groups or individ-
uals, that 80 had voiced willing
ness to engage in the service, that
80 had opposed the compulsory plan
and that 68 others merely had ac-
knowlsdged receipt of the show
cause rule.
Heretofore, about half Of Wash
ington's cabs supposedly have been
in the pickup service.

from the court "aS to whether paw
ment of the bill is lawful"
Although the commissioners nre-
vlously had authorized PAYMENT.

". P. B. Seizes
Junk Autos Of
Nearby Firm
Lenox Motor Co.'s
Scrup to Go to
Designated Dealer

In the first local application of a
War Production Board campaign to
force wrecked car dealers to con-
vert their scrap metal to war uses
the boards industrial conservation
division yesterday seized the entire
stock of three Junk yards belonging
to the Lenox Motor Co. of Colmar
Manor. Md.
The seizure was the third of its
type since the War Production
Board opened it's campaign in
January. Previous cases occurred
In Valparaiso, Ind, and Paris, Tex
The requisitioning was carried out
by United States Marshal August
Klecka and Deputy United States
Marshal Harry Hipkins. Guards will
maintain a 24-hour vigil over the
yards until the property is dis
posed Of, Mr.. Klecka announced.
Claim Fair Prices Refused.
w. P. B. officials charged that Leo
F. Donovan, owner of the wrecked
vehicles and the yards in which
they were stored, had persistently
refused offers from scrap dealers
at price the board considered
fair"
The entire stock is to be pur-
chased by the Metals Reserve Corp
a subsidiary of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, which will take an
inventory and then resell the
property to J. Brenner &, Son, junk
dealers, of 2519 M street NV
which submitted the highest original
bid to the War Production Board
but was said to have been turned
down by Mr.. Donovan.
The Brenner concerns bid, War
Production Board officials indicated
was $40 a net ton for steel scrap
s14 for motor blocks and ST for
body and fender scrap. Counting
the cost of delivery at the mill. this
was said to approximate the official
ceiling of $1875 ton.
Estimate 157 Tons of Metal.
They estimated that the Lenox
Motor Co. yards had about $50 tons
Of scrap iron and steel and 7
tons Of non-ferrous metal on hand,
and maintained this metal was
urgently needed for conversion into
war materials.
Mr.. Donovan said he had told
the War Production Board he was
willing to sell that portion of his
stock which he described as scrap
material" but maintained he should
be allowed to strip the cars first of
salvageable parts, since he had paid
high prices for the autos with that
consideration in mind.
Walking around the yard before
the arrival of the Federal marshal,
Mr.. Donovan pointed to car after
car on which, he claimed, valuable
doors, headlights and other parts
might yet be reclaimed.
Claims Effort to Cooperate.
"I'l give the Government every
piece of scrap that's in this yard"
he said.
Mr.. Donovan said he had done a
business Of $7l,000 last year He
claimed he had made every effort
TO cooperate with the Government,
but said the delay in disposal of
the wrecked cars. of which there
were several hundred, was due to
difnculty in obtaining labor to strip
them. He was told guards would
close the yards for 80 days.
Robert W. Mccullough, called
yesterday afternoon as Mr. Dono-
vans legal counsel, asserted. We'll
cooperate fully with the authori-
ties. We want to see that Mr.. Don
ovan gets what's coming to him,
but we don't intend to buck the
Government"
