Refuse to Operate
Under Rules of

Alexandria's taxicab service is vir-

day because of the unwillingness of
the Yellow Cab Co. drivers to accept
a decision of the Traffic Board call
ing for decentralize stands for the
AZ vehicles.
Joseph Robey, manager of the
company, said he had ordered the
men to go back to work at midnight
and will meet with them at 2 pm.
today to find out why they have not
done so.
He said he believes that decentral-
lied stands can operate satisfac-
torily and will take steps to see that
the drivers comply with the orders
OF the Traffic Board.
Stand Permit Revoked.
Since January IL, when the City
Council revoked the permit for the
use of the North st. Asaph stand.
temporary extensions have been
granted by the Traffic Board in
order to give the company time to
obtain other locations and install a
PIX telephone system, for which
War Production Board priorities
have been granted.
The deadline for use of the St.
Asaph street location was reached
yesterday when police removed the
cab stand sign and started to install
parking meters. Drivers refused to
work because they claimed it was
impossible to receive calls at one
location and dispatch from another.
At last nights meeting of the
Traffic Board another weeks use of
the present stand was granted to
avoid public inconvenience until a
permanent arrangement can be
made. The illness of Maurice
Rosenberg, company attorney, re-
suited in the failure of the company
to present. applications for decen-
tralized locations.
Temporary Plan Rejected.
Drivers, however, said they would
not work on temporary basis.
Capt. Edgar Sims, police chief
and member of the Traffic Board,
said he is holding out for a down
town location from which all Al
cabs can be operated.
Constant complaints of residents
in the neighborhood of the present
stands have demonstrated that it
Is impossible to grant the drivers
what they want without creating a
public nuisance" Capt. Sims said.

but / believe the Office of Defense
transportation can do something
