Checks
Police Time on
Special Details
Orders Records Kept
On Mon-Hours Spent
On Functions, Sports

Supt. Robert j. Barrett has in
augurated the Metropolitan Police
Departments first comprehensive
survey of time spent by members
of the force on duties other than
regular police work.
In particular, Mai. Barrett has
ordered record kept of man. hours
consumed by special details for
Federal and District functions, serv-
ices for the diplomatic corps and
athletic events.
Each precinct has been instructed
to maintain master tally sheet for
such assignments and report totals
regularly to headquarters.
Rough Estimates Possible.
In the past, Maj. Barrett ex-
planned. the department could only
make a rough estimate of man
hours taken up by special details
outside the scope of routine police
protection.
From time to time, he pointed out,
Federal and District officials call on
the department for men to perform
guard duty at public events or to
honor dignitaries. In addition, he
said, social events of the diplo-
matte corps require special details.
Maj. Barrett mentioned, also, the
assignments to Griffith Stadium
for baseball and football games and
the men sent elsewhere in the city
for other sports events.
Special Situation Here.
He said 1t was obvious Washing
ton, as the Nations Capital, pro-
duces many activities demanding
special police details which would
not be found in other cities of COM
parable size. -
Congressional committees study
ing police budget requests have
been interested in the time spent
by police on such work, Maj. Bar
rett said.
The current survey will provide
them with accurate information if
1t is requested in the future and
will tend to show the need for the
205 additional policemen he has
asked to provide proper coverage
OF beats, Mai. Barrett explained.

Head Of Cab Company
In Bethesda Files Suit
AGAINST Rival Group

Richard H. Phelps, operator of the
Suburban Cab Co. of Bethesda, has
filed an injunction suit In Mont
gomery County Circuit Court to re-
strain a group of taxicab drivers
from using his trade name in their
newly organized business.
This suit, another court action
charging two cab drivers with vio-
lating a county ordinance and case
involving an assault and battery
complaint, are the outgrowth of a
disagreement among personnel of
the Suburban company which Mr..
Phelps claims led to secession" by
a majority of the drivers formerly
associated with him.
The seeding group of 10 formed
their own company and applied to
the State for permission to use the
name Suburban. 1t is this request
that Mr.. Phelps would restrain by
injunction.
The disagreement came to a head,
attorneys said. when Mr.. Phelps
increased "lot" fees to cab drivers
from SO to $40 a week. These fees
are charged for Suburban's service
of receiving telephone calls al a
stand adjacent to the Capital
Transit bus terminal in Bethesda,
and referring them to the cab
drivers.
Hearing on the restraining order
is set for November 7. Proceedings
brought by Mr.. Phelps accusing
William B. Wrenn and Edward 10th
of violating the new county cab
ordinance will be aired October %.
In the latter case, the defendants
are charged with failing to obtain
official county permission to operate
as company. Both legal actions
are in circuit court.
The assault and battery charge
was filed by James A. Miller against
Clarence Rogers as the result of an
alleged fight over the disagreement.
1t is docketed for hearing in Bethes-
da police court today.

Three petitions seeking a review

mission order granting fare in
creases to the Washington, Virginia

Spokesmen for the Arligton Civic

petitions would be sent to the ICC
today. Last night, another group
the Arlington Bus Riders Associa-

for delay in the new rates, which
are to become effective Sunday.
The bus riders action was taken

Lane Indicates
Local ITaxPower
Special Authority
| May Be Requested for
| All Counties and Cities
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1o.-Gov. Lane
indicated last night bill may be
introduced in the forthcoming spe.
cial session of the General Assembly
to give all counties and municipal.
tiles special taxing powers.
The special session originally was
to be called to renew the powers of
Baltimore City to levy special taxes.
At a dinner given by the Baltimore
Board of Estimates for the City
Council and the city delegation to
the Legislature, the Governor said
he would call the General Assembly
into session sometime between
October "a through the 1st of No
vember"
Choice Sought for Baltimore.
There was considerable specula-
ton at the meeting that the session
would start November 8, as Novem-
Der falls on Saturday. If the last
day of the specified period were
chosen, it was pointed out, the spe-
cial session probably would start the
next Monday.
City officials who spoke at the
dinner all asked that the Legislature
allow Baltimore to chose for itself
which taxes 1t wished to levy.
The Governor said he would not
press the city to include in tho
enabling bill specific new taxes. The
whole matter might "be developed
on a State wide basis" he added.
He went on to explain that bill
enabling not only the city but all
the counties and other municipalities
to raise additional revenues through
special taxation may be evolved.
Favors Return of Surplus.
He said such a bill might have to
be drafted to include restrictive
clauses limiting or excluding GER
tain revenue sources so that the
States own revenue sources would
be protected.
In answer to question from
Delegate Mrozinski as to how he felt
about returning pro rata to Balti-
more City and the counties any ex-
cess revenue over $18,000,000 de.
rived annually from the sales tax.
Gov Lane said he felt that addi-
tional revenue over what was needed
for the purposes for which the sales
tax was levied should be returned to
the people.
He believed the State was in the
same position as person who had
borrowed $40 for a specific purpose
and then found only $40 was needed
and in such case there was a
moral obligation" to return the
other $40 and not use it for other
purposes, such as tax relief for the
political subdivisions.
