0PA Probes Rentals
Charged Taxi Drivers
Hackers Claim Thot Fees
Hove Been Doubled

An extensive investigation OF tax.
1cab companies here which rent cabs
to hackers, is being conducted by the
District Once of Price Administers
ton after several hundred COM
plants about high rental rates were
received from drivers and others.
OPA Director Robert K. Thompson
announced today.
Mr.. Thompson disclosed that in
some cases drivers are being forced
to pay approximately double the
amount of daily rental for their cabs
than in previous years.
Since September, 1912. issuance Of
cab licenses has been frozen by an
Office of Defense Transportation
order, thus forcing newcomers to the
cab business to turn to companies
renting vehicles, it was explained.
Mr.. Thompson said the former
base rental for cab was $3.50
day, exclusive of gasoline Some
drivers have complained they are
now being forced to pay as high a.
50 day. Mr.. Thompson said.
Chief Enforcement Attorney John
L. Laskey, disclosing that better
than 200 complaints had been re-
ceived by his office, said he planned
to file treble damage and injunction
suits in District Court where it has
been found there is a violation.
1t is estimated that the investiga-
ton will cover more than 1000 local
cab drivers.

mated. With the end of the drive

Few Used Cars
Left in Hands
0fDeaIerSHere
Shrinking Supply
Puzzles Handlers
And OPA Officials

Washington's used car market is
drying up, with some of the larger
dealers who formerly had an in
ventory of 100 cars now down to
less than a dozen, it was learned
today.
The situation has both dealers
and ONCE of Price Administration
officials puzzled. Either the stock
pile of available used cars has dis
appeared or owners, unsatisfied with
new price ceilings, have decided to
hold on to their cars against some
change in the regulations, they say.
Fred Halter. executive secretary Of
the Washington Automotive Trade
Association, said he believed owners
were lust holding off," making it
virtually impossible for dealers to
replenish their stocks. He said the
numbers of used cars offered deal
ers had shrunk markedly since the
imposition Of ceilings July 10.
Some dealers reported they were
sold out except for old or ill-used
cars.
Mr.. Haller said dealers now have
pinned their hopes on a meeting of
officials of the national OPA and of
large automobile dealers associa-
lions here next Friday. At that time,
results Of the first month Of price
ceilings will be studied and recon-
mendations made for any changes
in the regulations
The OPA takes the stand that the
industry is going through a read
justment period and that when the
public realizes that the OPA ceilings
are the maximum they can get for
their cars, then used automobiles
will start moving to dealers again.
1--WE are hoping for the best and
perhaps some relief from the OPA,"
Mr.. Halter said. He also pointed out
that some persons in the business
were hoping for resumption of new
car manufacture in the near future.
thus releasing used automobiles.
Vincent A. Holmes, senior COM
modify specialist for the District
OPA, said his Office was trying to
find out just what has caused the
situation in the used-car market
here. He discounted the theory that
car owners were selling via the black
market. reporting that only three
over-ceiling violations had come to
his attention.

For Boiling Field Convulescents

Convalescent officers and men who

Field Hospital as boats cruised on

Club.
At least II already have offered
use of their craft, and the first four
of these will be used Monday eve
ming in taking out between 30 and
40 men in two short trips around

The fighting men themselves re-
quested Mrs. Joan c. Atkinson, Red
Cross representative at the hospital,
to look into the possibility of their
relaxing on the Potomac. Some of
the hospital rooms overlook the
river. and the men, many of them

Church Federation
Plans City-Wide
Victory Services
Prayer and Worship
To Mark Wor's End
In European Area

City-wide services to be held the
day the war ends in Europe were
announced today by the Washington
Federation of Churches.
The Federation explained it
wanted to complete plans now so
that when the war in Europe ends,
the churches will be prepared to
make the day one for prayer and
divine worship rather than an occa-
sion only for wild rejoicing and
hilarity.
DR.. Seth r. Brooks, chairman of
the Committee on Religious Life in
the Nations Capital, said his COM
mittee was encouraging churches of
all faiths to hold services of prayer
and thanksgiving when the news
comes that the war Is over.
The committee, he said. was sug-
costing that churches, in their serv-
ices on the day the European war
ends, emphasize the postwar care
OF the wounded and the techniques
OF assuring lasting peace.
The Federation of Churches has
a committee headed by the Rev.
J. Lloyd Black to make plans for
services on X-day. Mr.. Blacks COM
mittee, organized several months
ago, has developed suggested serv-
ice for worship on that day.
Under federation auspices. serv-
ices open to all faiths will be held in
six churches on the evening of the
day the end of the war is an
nounced. The five churches with
which arrangements have been COM
pleted include Church Of the Epiph-
any, Lutheran Church Of the Ref
ormation, Arlington Presbyterian
Church, Bethesda Baptist and Ham
line Methodist Church.
The Church of the Epiphany said
1t also would hold hourly services of
Thanksgiving beginning with the
breaking Of the news and continu-
ing until 10 pm. The church tower
chimes will play patriotic hymns
hourly.
A special observation also is being
planned at the Washington Cathe-
dral. Tentative plans call for serv-
ices similar to those marking D-day,
when they were held hourly.
The federation said it would urge
all its member churches to plan
services for victory day."
