Twice as many persons rode to
work in taXicabs last week as be-
fore the emergency pickup service
went into effect, cab officials re-
ported last night as the Public Utili-
ties Commission issued an order
changing the morning hours for the
service.
Hereafter, the pickup service will
operate from 7 am. to 9 am. in
stead of from 7:30 am. to $50 am.
Also changing the afternoon hours,
the commission ordered that the
special 20-cent service for zones l
and 2 should be operated in the
afternoon between 4::30 ard $50
pm. instead Of from $3.50 to $50 p m.
On Saturdays the pickup service
will operate only in the morning.

erS. $500 of whom are operating
under the pickup s<yice, John

last night that cab riding in the
morning hours had doubled.
Pronouncing the morning service
a success, Mr.. Roger said cabs were
averaging 20 passengers during the
morning hours, making four or five
trips with full loads. He expected
the new hours for service in the
morning would provide drivers with
another full load since 5000 Gov

who work for the Interior Depart
ment and the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. as we'll as $500 en-
ployes of private industry, must be

He expected that by the middle of
the week the evening service also
would be operating successfully.
Arrangements are being made for
taxi space at the curb of Govern
ment buildings and starters are
being stationed at strategic points.
At the Social Security Building,
where starter went on duty last
week, the system facilitated loading.
Starters will be placed at six or
seven other buildings beginning
Wednesday.
The drivers have a schedule of
the opening and closing hours of
rs Federal buildings as we'll as the

Nomination 10 P. V.C.
Committee Rules Shares
Owned in Out-of- Town
Utilities No Bur

The Senate District Committee
yesterday approved the favorable
report of a subcommittee on the
nomination of James H. Flanagan.
analyst for the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, to fill the va
cancy on the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The committee acted after con-
cluding that the few shares of
stock in three public service COM
panies Mr.. Flanagan testified he
owned did not disqualify him un-
der the terms of the local public
utilities law.
Mr.. Flanagan informed Chair
man McCarran that he is disposing
of the stock, which has a value OF
less than 5000. The nominee also
declared that he had lived in the
District since 1885 and during that
time had not claimed residence else
where.
Senator McCarran called the com.
mittee's attention to the utilities law
provision that no appointee shall bt
eligible who, within five years, ha:
owned stock in any utility connected
directly or indirectly with District
public service companies.
Mr.. Flanagan told the subcommit-
tee he had 500 worth of stock ir
Stone & Webster, for which firm he
worked about 10 years ago, anc
smaller amounts in two other com.
panies outside of Washington.
Senator McCarran said he hae
been unable to find that those com.
panies were in any way involved
with District utilities Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech alsC
told the committee he knew of M
connection between those firms ane
the local utilities.
The nomination will come up ir
the Senate for confirmation early
this week.
