Additional Taxi
Operators File
Required Policies

Five additional taxi operators
filed policies at the city hall af-
ter notification by police, several
went out of business or made
plans to move to other towns,
and some others filed binders in
Pascagoula's drive to force pub
lie vehicles TO comply with a
.194l ordinance requiring liabll-
ity insurance.
Police Chief J. E. Shirley said
an investigation by members Of
his force revealed some taxi OBJ
orators still did not understand
the ordinance which requires
that the liability policy itself be
filed with the city. $
Some operators seem to think
that a notification to the city hall
is enough, but that is not true.H
Chief Shirley said, THE ordi-
nance requires hat the policy be
filed there in the custody of the
city. A receipt will be given for
it and the city assumes respon-
sibility for its safe keeping"
Speaking at CITY Court Mon
day afternoon where one taxi OPP
orator was fined for speeding on
two counts--the instances being
less than two hours apart Sat
urday night-Chief Shirley warm
ed that the city police force had
been instructed to crack down on
speedsters and reckless drivers.
He said he had personally warn
ed many drivers and that his
admonitions had been in some
cases ignored.
I'VE don't mind some n get
ting five miles an hour out of
line he said, But this business
of driving fifty miles an hour in

While Admiral Ninitz was busily
being greeted by many other ad-

Of staff, Rear Admiral Forrest Sher-

speed the departure from the field.
Other admirals and lesser officers,
however, pressed forward to greet
their former commander in the Pa
cific and Admiral Nimitz for the
moment seemed to forget how
tight" his schedule was. Mai. Gen.
Henry L. Larsen, the Marine COM
mander of Guam, was in the back
ground, outranked by admirals,
when Admiral Nimitz spotted him
and joyously pushed forward to
shake his hand. Gen. Larsen is
here for a few days and will return
to Guam soon.
Wives Introduced to Him.
Several wives of his staff officers
who remained in the Pacific were
introduced to him and for a few
more precious minutes Admiral
Nimitz was busy telling the wives
that Butch" and Hank" and
Jerry" we're in fine health and
eager to see their families again
soon.
Admiral Nimitz finally eased up to
the limousine which was carrying
him in small motorcade to the
Capitol, but obligingly posed once
more for photographers with his
three daughters and Mrs. Nimitz
hanging onto his arm.

The prosecution today read into
the war crimes trial of As NaI con-

triple confession by Irma Grese,
who said all SIS personnel shared
guilt for German atrocities at the
institutions.
The young blond guard has been
called the worst of the SIS women"
Her three statements were made
after the Belsen camp was overrun
last Spring and were read despite
defense contention that they were
obtained under duress
She said her conscience bothered
her and caused her to admit par
ticipating in beatings and mistreat-
ment of prisoners.
Earlier in today's hearings a
deposition from Elizabeth Mertz said
several of the captors at Oswiecim
camp in Poland once amused
themselves by watching women
drown.
One Of the defendants, Hide Lo-
bauer, and several supervisors stood
on the bank with long poles, the
