ais If full cost was paid. The rents
now are about in line with those
in private buildings. He pointed to
the possibility of raising rentals after
wartime controls are removed. 9th
ers believe, however, that postwar
competition between properties will
compel lower rather than higher
rates.
The DHC head, who also is COM
missioner of the Federal Housing
Authority, said the DHC properties
at current rentals would pay for
themselves In 40 to so years" He
supplied no precise figures as to
the possible rate of amortization of
the loan. Loans on comparable pri-
vate jobs seldom are made for long
er than Is years.
The market for the huge develop
ments is limited greatly by the fact
that majority of the big insurance
companies which would have enough
capital to buy such investments are
forbidden by law from purchase of
improved real estate.
Mr.. Emmerich said it probably
would be necessary to split Fair

Hankin Asks Congress
To Actin Union Station
Taxicab Shortage

The problem Of adequate taxicab
transportation at Union Station de-
serves the attention of Congress,
particularly of the District COM
mittees, because the Public Utilities
Commission has not seen fit to
act" Gregory Hankin, commission
member, declared yesterday in
letter to Representative Bates, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts.
With Mr.. Bates, a member of the
House District Committee, out of
the city, Chairman James H. Flan-
agan of the PUG refused to release
the contents of letter he has writ
ten on the same subject to Mr..
Bates, who has complained of taxi
cab service in the District.
"The inadequacy of service re-
suits mainly from the fact that
non Diamond taxicabs are pre-
cluded from taking on passengers
at Union Station, except in those
instances when, in the judgment
of the Diamond starters, there is
a shortage of Diamond taxicabs,"
Mr.. Hankin said.
Various Abuses Charged.
II think that the record warrants
conclusion that such conces-
sions should be eliminated, espe-
cially in view of the present war
time conditions"
I'VE are informed" Mr.. Hankin
said, that non-Diamond cab op-
orators have been abused and sub
jected to assault and battery and
false imprisonment by the terminal
police. 1t has been orally reported
that other abusive and discrinina-
tory practices had been leveled
against the non-Diamond cabs,
even after they had been allowed
into the west entrance for the pur-
pose OF taking on passengers.
Remedy Suggested.
IF the public interest so requires,
the PUG can abrogate the contract
(between the Washington Terminal
Co. and the Diamond Cab Coz so
far as the Diamond Cab Co. is con-
cerned. If, despite such an order
directed against the Diamond Cab
Co., the Washington Terminal Co.
should persist in excluding all but
Diamond cabs, thereby rendering
inadequate terminal facilities to the
public, a remedy may be provided
through action by the Interstate
Commerce Commission
Spokesman for the terminal have
notified the PUG they have noted
Mr.. Bates criticisms and have con-
ferred with Diamond officials on
steps to overcome the difficulties in
the face of gasoline and tire short

Contest Developing
Over M'Nary's Post
As Minority Leader
BY GOULD LINCOLN,

A contest over the post Of Senate
minority leader made vacant by the
death of Senator McNary of Oregon,
is in the making unless a desire
for party harmony in this election
year outweighs personal ambitions.
The Senate Republican confer
ence, composed of all COP Senators,
at meeting last Thursday before
Senator McNarys death at Fort
Lauderdale, Fla, reelected the
Oregonian as floor leader and chair
man of the conference Senator
White OF Maine was named assistant
floor leader and acting leader in the
absence of Senator McNary and
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan was
chosen vice chairman of tn confer
ence and acting chairman.
Because Of Senator McNary's ILL
ness, the conference decided to keep
him IN both the minority leader post
and the conference chairmanship
but 1t recommended that In the fu-
ture the offices be separated. It
also was explained that the new set
up, with Senators White and Van
denberg as assistant leader and vice
chairman respectively, was a tenn
porary arrangement. Therefore
some Republican Senators believe
the choice Of a floor leader and a
chairman OF the conference now is
wide open.
Nevertheless, Senator White has
been acting minority leader since
last fall when he was so DESIGNATED
by Senator McNary. Further. he
has been continued in that position
by the conference. He has per-
formed his duties as leader ably.
The obvious thing to do-which
would avoid an intraparty conflict
In the Senate-would be to continue
the status quo until next January.
when a new Congress will convene.
Then would be the time to make a
permanent selection of floor leader
and chairman Of the conference.
Senators Vandenberg, Taft of
Ohio and White are looked on as
the contenders for the minority
leader post, and it may develop
that supporters of one or more OF
these Senators will demand action
now. If they do, a contest of con-
siderable proportions is likely to de-
velop. The COP Senators CUES
toned about the situation yesterday
expressed a hope that 1t will be
possible to iron out all differences
without battle.
The probabilities are that the
whole matter will wait for 10 days
or two weeks and that many con-
ferences will be held to determine
what Is the best course to follow in
filling the post held by Senator Nc
Nary. who became minority leader
in 1888 after Senator James E.
Watson Of Indiana was defeated in
the Roosevelt landslide.
One course would be to retain the
Republican organization exactly as
1t now is. Another would be to
elect Senator Vandenberg chair
man Of the conference and Sen
ator White floor leader. That would
make 1t possible to elect two other
Senators vice chairman of the con-
ference and assistant floor leader.
Senator Burton of Ohio Is now sec
retary of the conference, and Sen
ator Wherry Of Nebraska Is the
whip.
