A holdup man who forced taxi
driver to take him prowling around
town in search of victims early to-
day found himself in Jail after the
driver leaped to safety from the
moving vehicle.
Egan Davis, colored, 627 Four
teenth street NE, told police he
didn't argue when a young coloreo
man stuck "cold. hard object" into
the back of his neck in the 400 block
of Eastern avenue NE. and said
This is a stickup."
Told to pass over your money,
Mr.. Davis said he was sorry, but he
had no money. He offered his
empty wallet as evidence.
His fare was disappointed but de-
termined.
Drive uptown" he told the taxi
driver. "I1l get some"
Back uptown drove Mr.. Davis and
his unwanted passenger. When they
reached Fourteenth and r streets
NV, a Marine hailed the cab and
got in the front seat beside the
driver.
Mr.. Davis said he tried to advise
the Marine of the situation by kick
ing him in the shins and whispering
this is a hot cab"
The Marine, however, told Mr.
Davis to drive to the Navy Yard
Mr.. Davis drove, down Fourteenth
street and turned east on Massachu-
sets avenue.
At this point the "cold hare
object" was applied to the back o1
the Marines neck and the demand
for money was repeated. A S. bill
changed hands.
When the cab reached Thire
street, the Marine pushed the level
and rolled from the moving vehicle
receiving a fractured leg and heae
cuts. A short while later another
taxi carried him to the Naval Dis
pensary at Eighteenth street anc
Constitution avenue, where he gav'
his name as Staff Sergt. Hoyt Ra.
Evans, stationed at the Marine
Barracks, Eighth and G streets Sc
He was later transferred to th'
Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Davis and hi
passenger had reversed their course
and were heading east on New Yorl

Union Formally Asks
Federal Intervention
In Cafeteria Strike

The striking workers of the Gov
eminent Services. Inc, cafeteria
union today asked the GoSern,uent
to intervene in the dispute between
the local and GSI, which has tied
|up operation OF some 40 cafScerias
in Federal buildings.
"A formal request was made OF
John Gibson, Assistant Secretary Of
Labor, at an hour-long session In
the Labor Department with a
three-man delegation from the
United Cafeteria and Restaurant
Workers and the United Public
Workers of America, a union spokes-
man disclosed.
Earlier, the local had planned to
protest to Secretary of Interior Krug
over what the union called use Of
park police as strikebreakers on its
picket lines. Instead, the delega-
tion went to the Labor Department.
The move to see Mr.. Krug an
nounced as a result of a minor riot
in front of the Munitions Building
yesterday, involving Metropolitan
and park police, in which two per
sons were injured and three ar
rested. 1t was the first violence dur
ing the 12-day work stoppage.
Use Of Police Charged.
Lawrence Kammet, spokesman
for the union, charged that every
single one" OF the 20 buildings
which still have cafeterias in op-
Grafton have been using police
strike breakers" The. police have
escorted workers in and out of the
buildings and in some cases have
boarded trolley cars with them,", he
said.
Meanwhile, J. c. Neihuss, person.
mel director for GSI, denied that
details remained on hand at the
picket lines. GSI, he said, has asked
"for the normal protection any COM
pany would" only in cases where
there was evidence of some trouble.
Richard Bancroft, president OF
Local No. All, United Cafeteria and
Restaurant Workers (CIO), pro-
tested in a wire to Mr.. Krug
that park police are Federal en-
ployes and that their use 'as strike
breakers constitutes a national dis
grace"
The union said that A. E. DANA

ray, an ofdcial OF the National Park
| Service, is q former GSI president
and blamed him for activities of
the National Park Service police"
In the last few days." the union
said, many complaints have come
to the union headquarters Of in
reference and threats by National
Park Service police against pickets
at more than q dozen cafeteria To-
cations"
It blamed the police for yester-
days brutal attack on peaceful
Negro picketS.'
In the alteration police charged
that a worker who attempted to pass
the picket line was thrown to the
ground and stamped by striker.
A policeman who intervened was
knocked down by another picket,
police said.
Picket Held in $1,000 Bond.
The first picket, identified as Will
liam j. Thompson, 26, colored. Of
1882 Tenth street NV, was held
for the grand jury in 1900 bond.
Charged with assault on an officer
was Augustus Dickens, %, colored,
| of 1922 Church street NV, who
was held for the grand jury in $500
bond. Dickens, who was struck with
a nightstick, was treated at Emer-
gency Hospital for head cuts.
| The third picket arrested was
Lilly May James. 81, colored. of 925
M street NV, charged with simple
assault. She asked for jury tria.
and was held in 5000 bond. Police
said she had forcibly attempted
TO keep workers from entering the
building.
Mr.. Kammet said the union post
ed all the bonds and that the union
attorney, Belford v. Lawson, will
defend the three,
To Expand Strike Benefits.
He declared that the incident yes
terday frightened up the strike con-
siderably." In another develop
ment, he said, the union plans this
week to expand financial benefits
to strikers who need money for
| hardship" payments.
Mr.. Neihuss, meanwhile, said serv-
| ice in the cafeterias is about nor
NAL" Two of the AZ Government
eating places are closed.
More than 1850 substitute workers
are on the job, he said, and the
cafeteria stats are complete except
for a few cooks and bakers" About
lao workers were employed before
