Sightseeing Service
Operator Fined for
Cutting in on Taxis

Complaints by cab drivers that
sightseeing limousines are cutting
in on their trade resulted yesterday
in a s25 fine for Joseph w. H. Smith,
At. of the 1900 block Cathedral ave-
nue. NV, in what was said to be the
first prosecution of its kind.
Smith pleaded guilty before Judge
Walter j. Casey in Municipal Court
to illegally operating limousine
as taxi.
The District Commissioners, mean
while, announced revocation of two
taxicab drivers licenses and sus-
pended eight on complaints of the
public and police.
1t. Joseph D. Harrington, hack
inspector, said he has assigned plain
clothesmen to investigate reports
that limousines are picking up cab
fares and promised further court
action If it is warranted. The "S'
license permits commercial trans
portation of passengers only fol
funerals, weddings and sightseeing
he explained.
Police charged Mr.. Smith carried
passengers from a New York avenue
bus terminal to Union Station at a
charge Of so cents each. The regu-
lar fare is 20 cents, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Clark F. King
noted.
The defendant said he told the
passengers he operated a Limousine
service and could not take them at
taxi rates. He added that he al
ways waited until there we're nc
cabs available before taking riders
Discharged from the service In May
Mr.. Smith said he bought the cal
two weeks ago under the "GI loan
plan after working for a limousine
agency.
The license of w. H. Roop. indie
pendent cab driver, was revoked fo,
refusal to obey police and profanity
the Commissioners said. We. Law
son, another independent. lost his
on a charge of failure to report
property left in his cab.
For "molesting a citizen" the Ii.
cense of G. o. Miller, Diamond Co
driver, was suspended indefinitely
Overcharging brought 30-day sus-
pension for w. A. L. Obstler, Blue
Light Co. driver, and 10 days fol
Joseph j. Nell, Capitol Co.

Rules Are frightened
On Adoptions Here
To Protect Babies

Pressed Dy neaVy QemandS lOf
adoption of babies from licensed
agencies, the District Commission
ers have frightened the adoption reg
ulations to give complete protec-
ton" to mothers, babies and pro-
spective foster parents.
The Commissioners announced
yesterday that hereafter the gov
erning boards of the seven agencies
now permitted to give babies fol
adoption must represent a variety
of community interests" The per-
sonnel of the agencies must be Sc
lected according to high standards
already suggested by the Commis-
sioners, or they must at least be
judged by Civil Service Commission
standards, the Commissioners ruled
Explaining certain other changes
in the regulations, Mrs. Radford
Moses, chairman of Board of Pub
lie Welfare committee advising the
city heads, said the revisions were
mainly routine to strengthen the
1914 baby broker act.
Regulations Strengthened.
For example, the regulation on
solicitations for or acceptance OF
funds from families for the care of
either the mother or her child are
strengthened. Miss Josephine Starr
an assistant with the Council OF
Social Agencies, said the new
phrasing would prevent any pos
sible "racketeering" by baby bro
kers" overcharging eager families
for the hospital bills of mother
willing to place her child imme-
diately for adoption.
officials explained that care must
be taken that current heavy de-
mands for babies did not force
loopholes in the adoption regula-
tions. Several weeks ago, for ex-
ample, about go babies had been
registered for adoption and at least
three times that number of fam
lilies had been trying to get them.
The Commissioners also strength
ened regulations against separa-
ton of the child from his natural
parents except when it is neces-
sary for the child's best interest u
Probation Period Fixed.
Another revision now requires
that the parents must surrender all
rights to the child before the liz
censed agency begins any negotia-
tions to place the child, officials
said. The adoptors, in turn, must
undergo a six months probationary
period before the licensing agency
will finally relinquish the baby.
Children of doubtful" background
now will be placed only after COM
plete information is available to-
and has been studied blythe adopt
ing family, officials said.
In connection with the adopting
family, factors of age, health, men,
tality, character, education, financial
security and understanding OF
children" must be considered by the
agency before the baby is surren-
dered, it was stressed.
The 1914 baby broker bill sug-
gested many Of these procedures
but did not make them mandatory
1t was explained.

ID. &. Pilot Escapes Plane Crash
With Only Minor Injuries

A student pilot walked away from
his wrecked airplane with only
minor injuries yesterday after the
small craft nose-dived from 100 feet
to crash onto a farm near Rock
vile, Md, yesterday.
The plane, Piper Cub, was pilot
ed by Albert M Helmrath, Al. a
Reconstruction Finance Corp. en-
ploye who lives at the Burlington
Hotel.
Although the plane was badly
damaged officials at the Suburban
Hospital in Bethesda. where Mr.
Helmrath was admitted shortly
after the crash, said he suffered
only minor lacerations of the head
and arm.
Officials at Congressional Airport
where Mr.. Helmrath had been tax
ing flying lessons for about three
months, said he had been on a
routine solo flight.
Witnesses to the accident said
they noticed the plane circling over
the r. E. Milor farm two miles
northwest of Rockville. They said

en- by the Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons.
OF the other men, one was finally
reinstated, second was retired and
the case of third was never set
tied. Not long ago, the veterans
service section of the Civil Service
Commission said it had been given
assurances that the District gov
ernment would find other work for
men physically incapable of per-
forming their old duties.
Calls Rejection Raw Deal"
AS captain in the Marines serv-
ing as an assistant provost marshal
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Mr..
Rawlinson suffered a heart ailment
which resulted in a medical dis
charge with full disability pay. Last
night at his home, 1927 North Eigh-
teenth street, Arlington, Mr.. Raw
linson spoke bitterly of the police
rejection as a raw deal"
He has thought of taking some
kind of action against the District
in a test case, but cannot see his
way clear at this time for financial
reasons, he said.
Appointed to the police force in
1928, the ex-Marine won seven COM
mendations and never had a bad
mark against his record. One of
his achievements was the arrest.
with the assistance of two other
policemen, of Jarvis Catoe, colored
murderer, in 1912.
Accused of attacking and murder
ing seven women, Catoe died in the
electric chair. He was arrested by
Mr.. Rawlinson, Detective Sergt
Richard Cox and New York de-
tective on Swami street near New
Hampshire avenue NV.
Before joining the police he
served as a private in the World
War, fighting in France. During
his wears as a policeman he served
in the motorcycle detail, as a plain
clothesman, precinct detective and
in 1888 was appointed a detective
sergeant on the homicide squad.
He was commissioned a first lieu
tenant in the Marines February T.,
1943, and after tour of duty at
Quantico, Va, was sent to Cuba.
Will Get Disability Pay.
Things could be worse for Mr..
Rawlinson. One police officer said
his disability pay from the Marines
will be greater than that of his
former salary as a policeman. He
also will receive the 81 per cent of
his salary withheld under civil
service laws as his pension.
Mr.. Rawlinson will leave for Cali
fornia tomorrow with his wife, Min
ME; daughter, Marceline, and son,
Fred A., who recently was dis
charged from the 9th Air Force
after 20 months service. They will
live with Mr.. Rawlinson's brother
on a farm near Burbank.
