.SubcommitteetoS Study
Union Demands for
Limit on Cabs Here

Chairman Randolph Of the House
District Committee yesterday called
on his Public Utilities subcommittee
to consider what action should be
taken on demands for legislation to
limit the number Of taxicabs and
drivers who may operate in Wash
ington.
The subcommittee is headed by
Representative Harris, Democrat, of
Arkansas, who was asked to re-
view the 1899 Randolph bill for
taxicab limitation, in connection
with new demands made by the
AFL cab union here.
At the same time, the Taxicab
Operators Local 935 announced that
union delegation will meet tomor-
row with Vernon E. West, District
corporation counsel, and try to over
come differences which have pre-
vented Endorsement of their bill by
the commissioners
May Agree to Changes.
Ben M. Deutsch, recording secre-
tary of the local, said the union
will fight for the contents of the
bill but might agree to few minor
changes.
The union reported there now is
one cab fsr every 125 persons in the
District. Its bill would limit cabs
to one for every 200 persons, except
that veterans who operated cabs in
the District before entering service
would also receive licenses.
The bill does not contemplate re-
voking any licenses, but if an owner
failed to renew his license within a
definite period, he would be out,
Mr.. Deutsch said.
Opposition Slated.
Chairman Randolph made public
reports from Commissioner John
Russell Young and James H. Flana-
gan, chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, opposing the legislation.
Mr.. Flanagan said the PUG
should be allowed to determine the
maximum number of cabs by a
yardstick of public convenience
and necessity"
The union bill would allow 500
cabs and 625 drivers per 100000
population.
The 1899 Randolph bill would
have allowed 500 cabs and 75O
drivers per 100000 population.
Washington Ranks First.
An ODT report on the number of
cabs per population in large cities
puts Washington first with one per
125, Mr.. Deutsch said. New York
has one per 801; Baltimore, one per
$50; Chicago, one per 1892; Phila-
delphia, one per 1905; Cleveland,
one per 2,131; Pittsburgh, one per
2.238, and Los Angeles, one per
2,796, he reported.
The new bill would leave Wash
ington in first place for the number
of cabs in proportion to population,
he emphasized.
If group riding rates were raised,
Mr.. Deutsch said, passengers would
be able to get cabs whenever they
wanted them.
Threatening walkout, the union
has set deadline ending next Sun
day for action by the PUG on it's
request for increases in group riding
rates. It's executive board met
yesterday but withheld any an
nouncement of another general
membership meeting, pending the
outcome of efforts to reach an agree
ment with the PUG and the Com
nlissioners.

Mason 10 Ask Rutland
For Additional Data
On Banning Patient

Commissioner Guy Mason said
yesterday he would ask Health Off,
Ger George c. Rutland to expand
his report on why a patient suffer-
ing from meningitis was not ad-
mitted to Gallinger Hospital last
week.
The report on the case that DR..
Rutland forwarded to Mr.. Mason
named the patient as Percy Ed
wards, SO, Willard Hotel doorman.
The report. in effect. exonerated the
hospital staff of blame in the case
because the diagnosis of the doc
tors there was that the victim was
a mental patient. 1t was prepared
by Robert Southwick, deputy super
intendent of Gallinger, and stated
that the patient was driven off in
the ambulance to Leland Memorial
Hospital while Gallinger physicians
were trying to arrange commitment
to the psychopathic ward.
Mr.. Mason pointed out that this
was the second time in recent weeks
that patient had been the vic.
tim Of faulty diagnosis. His refer.
ence to an earlier case was appar.
emily to that of Miss Agnes Fundal.
ing, 20-year-old drugstore employe
who died November of brain tumol
while waiting for Gallinger ambu.
lance to arrive. Miss Fundaling'
case was not considered an emer.
gency when negotiations were made
for the ambulance, a subsequent
report revealed.
The Commissioner said if neces.
sary he would ask the Health OF.
flcer to make a new rule requiring
thorough examination of any cast
brought to Gallinger whether ad.
mitted or not.
Hospitals should be able to make
their own diagnosis without depend.
ing upon some private physician tc
do it for them" he said.
DR.. Rutland had previously is
sued orders to the hospital to admit
emergency patients first and take
care of technicalities later. In this
case, however, the Gallinger physi-
clans felt bound to hold up admit
tance, the report said, until the
legal requirement of authorization
by two private physicians not con-
nected with the hospital could be
met, because they considered the
victim mental case.

A sharp rise in parking violations,
aggravated by the dearth Of park
ing space here, has necessitated
assignment of two more policemen
in the last month to check such
offenses in the downtown area.
Inspector Arthur E. Miller of the
Traffic Division said yesterday.
Where one man formerly covered
parking downtown, Inspector Miller
pointed out, three are doing the
job now.
Judge Nathan Margold now on
the Traffic Court bench, has noted
parking offenses swelling the heavy
dockets of that court since the
lifting of gasoline rationing in
August.
Testimony of defendants appear
ing before him on parking violation
charges, the jurist said, indicates
there just isn't space available for
people to park legally"
The present traffic system "just
isn't planned for the number of
cars that can reasonably be expected
to use the streets here" Judge Mar
gold said. I'VE have reached the
saturation point, and something
more must be done"
In addition to motorists who have
logical excuses for their failure to
park legally, he said, there are many
who seem unwilling to walk a rea-
sonable distance to their destina-
tions after parking legally.
They prefer to take a chance or
getting a ticket and they park right
where they are going" he said. He
criticized also cab riders who insist
that drivers park abreast, consti-
tuting traffic hazard, to save then
few steps.
The judge told of one defendant
before him on a charge of parking
less than 40 feet from a curb who
said he had driven blocks after
getting his ticket, noting the dis
tances other cars were parked from

While correspondents were gath

nection with the Two lima in
vasion, Mr.. Pyle discovered that
censorship regulations prohibited
naming Naval personnel who are

cause it might identify vessels not
announced as in that theater.
Mr., Pyle politely pointed out-as
many correspondents had done
many times before-that the en-
listed mems names we're news. He
said such ban virtually would pro-
hibit writing about life aboard ship
and would make it almost worthless
for him to 60 on the operation.
The restriction was removed sub
