Many taxicabs among the g.
700 under commission jurisdic-
diction have been unable to get
casualty and accident insurance
since the failure of the Keystone
Mutual ad Casualty company in
June, according to Lewis w. Pet
Iteway. executive director of the
commission. He said that many
cabs are operating now under
30-day binders. but that no in
surance company has yet indicat-
ed it will give coverage after to-
day.
Meanwhile, Ed Larson, State
insurance commissioner, has
called representatives of all COM

splitting up taxicab insurance
and getting it underWritten.
, Many cities, which control the
taxis operating within their linn
it's, have asked the state for
help, as they too are facing a
taxi shutdown.
Petteway, in his telegram to
the commission inspectors, said:
eve understand many taxicabs
have been unable to secure inSur-
i ance coverage. However, reSpon-
; sibility to the public makes it
necessary that no cabs without
proper insurance coverage be
permitted to operate beyond
their respective cities and the i'm

tory. You will therefore make
every effort to strictly police this
situation"

(By Associated Press)

JERUSALEM, July 81. - A
BOBBY trap, concealed in the
clothing of one of the two bodies
of British sergeants, hanging from
tree, exploded this morning
and critically wounded British
officer.
British troops had been con-
Quoting search for the two
sergeants ever since early yester-
day morning, when the Jewish
underground reported they had
been hanged, and today they
were found near the plains of
Sharon.
AS one of the sergeants was
being cut down from a tree. a
BOBBY trap, hidden in his shirt,
exploded and, besides severity
wounding the officer, injured IL
other men. all Britons. The SER
geant's body was blown TO pieces,
over an area of 80 feet, and had
TO be picked up in bits for burial.
British authorities reported
that the sergeants had not been
executed by hanging. Investiga-
ton in an abandoned diamond
factory showed evidences of their
having been shot there and their
bodies taken to the tree in sacks.
The men were then strung from
a limb. as pretense of hanging.
The British commander in Pal
estine did not announce what &C
ton he would take because of the
executions of the sergeants in re-
prisals for the hanging of three
members of the Jewish under
ground, but the Jewish Agency
and the Jewish Council denounc-
cd the killing of the sergeants as
"dastardly".

Little change in the amount Of
payments in lieu of taxes re-

housing projects is expected this
year, w. Fl. Boswell, official
from the regional office of the
Public Housing Administration in
Atlanta, said today.
Accompanied by George Mills
White. director of the Pub ic
Housing Authority, Boswell ar
rived at City Hall about II
o'clock this morning to confer
with City Manager o. j. S. Ell
lineson regarding the 1947 pay
ments in lieu of taxes on Poin-
ciana. Fort Village and Porter
Place projects.
Ellingson said that the city re-
ceived $4,000 last year in pay
ments in lieu of taxes.
With an increase in the city
tax rate of four-tenths of a mill,
some City Hall observers con-
coded that there might be a slight
increase in the payments in lieu
of taxes over last year unless
the valuation of the Federal
properties has dropped.
One project, the 28-unit sec
ton at West Poinciana, has been
abandoned, no doubt causing d
decrease in the total assessed
valuation of Federal properties
against which the tax rate will
be applied
