sold the car to an individual there,
who shortly afterward reported the
car stolen, Mr.. Hallford said.
Goldstein was arrested in possess
sion of the same car at Elkridge,
Md, a month later, the agent said.
He was released after posting $4,000
bond on State charges and failed to
appear for the hearing.
On another count, Mr.. Hallford
said, Goldstein is charged with driv-
ing stolen vehicle from Baltimore
to Cincinnati, where he sold it to
his brother-in law. The car was
recovered last September by State
Police at Cincinnati.
A third count charges him with
transporting another car from Bal
timore to Cincinnati, where the FBI
contends, he sold it, then repeated
the New York act of stealing it
back from the purchaser. That car
was recovered by Norwood Ohio
police.

CARVING ) PASSENGERS

District residents may see small
taxi-cabs on the streets in the near
future.
The Public Utilities Commission
yesterday approved use of Ford
English built Projects and Austins
for cabs in Washington. A request
for the approval was made by two
automobile dealers here.
In order to legalize the use Of
the small cars. which have a seat
ing capacity Of three besides the
driver, the PUG had to change its
regulation about taxicab group
riding.
The order now takes into account
the smaller cabs and says that only
two passengers may use the rear
seat and one the front with the
driver. The regulation on standard
size cabs remains the sarne-three
passengers in the back and two In
the front.
The two companies which asked
for the approval were Hill and Tib-
belts, which handles the Projects.
and the Manhattan Auto and Radio
Co.. which handles Austins.
Spokesman for the companies said
there had been so many demands
for the small cars for cabs, mostly
from independent cab drivers, that
they decided to clear the way for
selling them as cabs.
