Commissioners

In 10-MiIe Zone
Hundreds Reported
Violating Rule in
Hauling Servicemen

The Commissioners todav
agreed to a request of the Office
OF Defense Transportation that
the Board of Revocation and
Review be allowed to suspend
from 80 to go days any taxicab
operator or driver who violates
the ODT regulations limiting
service to within 10 miles of the
limits Of city.
Declaring that a survey of the
last year and half very we'll es-
tablishes the fact, that between 400
and 500 taxicabs leave the city of
Washington over week ends" to
carry members of the armed serv-
ices to military establishments 20
to $50 miles outside of Washington,
the ODT said they believed the most
effective action would be by the
Board of Revocation and Review.
William M. Tobin, District mana
ger of ODT, said the business of
transporting military personnel to
posts outside the city had proved
lucrative" but he declared this
method of operation not only in
fringed on the bus companies, prop
erly set up to handle such trans
portation, but also brought about a
great amount of waste mileage and
impairment of public utilities serv-
ice in the District of Columbia"
Mr.. Tobin also claimed that taxi
operators often travel at great
rates of speed" and thereby endan-
ger the lives of armed service per-
sonnel. He pointed out that one
District taxicab operator, while on
his way to military establishment
in Virginia, had a head-on collision
with a truck, resulting in the death
Of three soldiers.
"All Of us realize and feel that this
accident might have been avoided If
more force were used to stamp out
this practice he said
Although several taxicab compan-
les have discharged drivers, the ODT
has reduced gasoline allowances and
notations have been made by tho
Hack Inspectors Office for viola
tions of the ODT order, Mr.. Tobin
said: This practice not only con-
tinues, but is increasing"

THE fire data was computed b,
an artillery officer and myself ane
1t was found that the requested
concentration, if fired, would fall
upon Capt. Fishers position. Capt
Fisher was told that the concentra.

that without the artillery he coule

Caesar's Triumph

James Caesar Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, has set pattern as we'll as a precedent in his answer to President Roosevelt's mild and respectful request that he obey long standing War Labor Board order, We hope the pattern won't be followed. But apparently it can be, and with impunity. If you don't like WLB order, all you do is say "No". Don't let 1t bother you if you had agreed earlier that you would say "YeS" If the President of the United States asked you nicely, You can squirm out of 1t or just ignore 1t, Of course you want to be sure that you're union off, cial and not an employer, and that the government isn't going to take over the plant where your members are working. You might give your reasons for refusal, as MT. Petrillo has done, He says that to lift his recording ban would permit two unsigned recording companies to resume manufacture, with resulting tremend- ous profits to them," and take business from firms that have knuckled down to his demands for royalty payments-pay- mentS which don't go to the musicians who make the records.
 MT, Petrillo is not only defying the gov- ernment, He is also dictating what firms can be in the recording business, and steering the profits where he, wants to see them go. And the profits he with holds are considerable, since the two un- signed companies are Columbia ana RCA-Victor, the oldest and biggest manu- lecturers in the field, As a preliminary to his ban, MT, petrillo compelled the great est instrumental artists in music to Joln his union. Most of them joined reluct- antly, since their fees are considerably above union "Scale" and the union could do absolutely nothing for them except collect their dues,
 Most of these artists have stuck with Victor and Columbia, and haven't record- ed since. The public would like to hear them on some new discs, But MT, Petrillo has never seemed to worry unduly about what the public wants, The Signed-up companies, he says, "are now supplying the public with all necessary recordings" And that's that,
 On the same day that MT. Petrillo answered the President, UnderSecretary of War Patterson told some striking machinists that "the government of the United States will not be coerced by any group" But coercion is just what MT. Petrillo is using Seemingly the only way the government can get Its agencyS order enforced is to rescind that order ana make Columbia and Victor settle on MT, Petrlllo'S terms, So now what happensF

Gould Bel" Gould Bel"

Do you remember William JefferS - "Bill" JefferS, for Short-who was Rub Der Administrator in Washington a few months ago. Anyhow, don't forget him, He's back on his old job, and from his office of president of the Union Pacific Railroad In Omaha, comes an interesting booklet. Author Bill rings the bell, as usual, Here is page one;
 "The United States Government is now the competitor of practically every busi- ness man in the country The Govern ment is a purchaser of great quantities of the products of farm, factory, ranch, mine and forest, It is the biggest buyer, the biggest user and the biggest shipper.
 "A very large part of all freight now handled by the railroads (65 per cent in the case of the Union Pacific) Is so-called Government freight.
 "Nearly century ago, the Government, to encourage rail construction, to de- velop particularly the Western territory, made grants of land. One of the condi- tions was that Government property should be transported at 50 percent Of tariff rates over those lines traversing the granted territory,
 lover the years, the value of these granted lands, either then or now, mas been paid for many times through the application of these land grant deduc' tioas.
 "of the approximately 25o,o0o miles of railroads in the United States only l8,o00 miles are actually land grant. Union Pacific Railroad Is not land grant rail- road, as to rates It is, however, as are all other so-called non-land grant rail- roads, @ party to Equalization Agree ments' under which the non-land grant railroads, on Government traffic, equal ize their rates with those of the land grant railroads.
 "The Government, in the aggregate, pays less for transportation services than any other shipper in America, In all cases, where land grant deductions are in effect, its rates are only 50 percent Of those you pay.
 "The Government buys from you and then checks your books, If, In It's Judg- fnent, you have made too much profit It 'renegotiates' and reduces your selling price. And then you pay income tax on what you have left"

 Meanwhile, the insurance com. panIes almost won out In ans other way. A bill exempting in' Surance from the antl-tFust laws was passed last spring by
 the House and reported fav' Orably by the senate Judiciary Committee over the vigorous 0b. lection of WyOming's trust" hating Senator Joe O'Mahoney. Because 1t was aFOusing Q storm of controversy in the Senate, Majority Leader Barkley agreed
 that the bill should not Dc brought up until after the elcc- ton.
 Last month, however, ct the Senate's final session, this blll turned up on the consent calen- dar, which is composed mainly of personal suits against the gov. ernment which are considered passed If tho objection Is mede aS they are read.
 No one paid much attention to what bills were being presented, and strange as it seems, tho much controverted insurance bill went through without objection. Actu. ally, Senator Barkley was blow : ing his nose at the time and did not hear the number Of tho bill.
 It was not until after the clerk had passed on down the calendar that Barkley and Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico realized what had happened and demand. cd reconsideration. This was agreed. The two solonS sat down %lping their brows.

Herle who, among other things, keeps an eye on State Depart- ment passports, had held up the passports of two U. s. women workers whom Governor Lehman proposed sending to Europe on United Nations relief work. Berle contended the two women were Communists, so Lehman dropped in to remonstrate with him.
 This is an international or. ganlxatlon," Lehman told Berle. 'It Is run by the United Ma. tlons, not by the United States. for instance, we have Russian Communists working for us and you could not hold up their passports.
 T have made m investlga- ton of these two American w0men," l. h m q n continued, "and am convinced they are not Communists. But even if they were, I don't think, in an international organization of this kind, you have any right to bar these women from work. ing"
 And then, remembering the Socialists charge Dewey had hurl- ed at Berle, Lehman let him have this parting shot.
 Besides" he said. don't you think you're setting Q precedent by which . future Republican Administration might deny YOU Q passport?"
 NOTE - Lehman Is employed not by the United States but by the United Nations. Since each member national pays part of the bill, each Is entitled to appoint certain number of personnel. Incidentally, Adolf Berle for years has been known around the State Department as its chief Red-baiter. His wife inherited $3.00o,00o of New York real estate. NOBODY CLEARS WITH HIM
