SAN FRANCISCO CABLE
 CARS STOP OPERATION

SAN FRANCISCO. (AP) - The California Street Cable Railroad Company ordered its picturesque maroon and gold cable cars temporarily out of service last night because the Company's insurance has been cancelled.
 This meant that today some 5000 San Franciscans who travel over San Francisco hills on the 7O-year-old company's lines had to find other transportation.
 The company's liability in- surance was cancelled by Lloyd,S of London effective at mid night. A company spokesman said service would be resumed when new insurance coverage was procured.
 But even if this obstacle is solved, the future of the bell changing c a b e cars appeared cloudy
 Stockholders will meet today to decide whether the line shall be sold to the city of San Fran cisco for S150,0OO. Myron Kunin of Los Angeles, the Company's largest single stockholder, said he was against selling to the city and would press for liquidation of the company.
 The California Street Com pany is the last independent ca ble car operator in San Fran cisco. The Powell Street cable line now is under city manage ment.

prise to one department store
detective. He recently arrested
an attractive IT. year old
Washington high school girl,
who explained that she was
stealing to get money to buy
REFERS" marijuana cigarettes.
He thought he has persuaded
her to accept commitment to
the Federal institution at Lex
ington, KY, for treatment for
the addiction. That night she
was seen in company with drug
addicts. The next day, in court.
she pleaded not guilty and was
fined $25 for petty larceny.
A man and wife arrested for
shoplifting blandly explained
that their budget for heroin
was $50 day.
Mrs. Pearl Phithian and Mrs.
Caroline Alexander of the
Women's Bureau of the Metro

have been on the shoplifting

Arlington Tax Bill
Errors Discounted

An error in printing Arlington
tax bills will have no effect on
distribution of receipts between
schools and general government,
Commonwealth's Attorney Den
man T. Rucker told the County
Board last night.
Colin C. Macpherson, Repub-
lican candidate for treasurer, had
said the tax bills now being mailed
out give the division of the tax
rate as $1.47 to the general fund
and $1.28 to schools. Actually,
Mr.. Macpherson said, these fig
lures should be reversed.
Mr.. Rucker said the action OF
the board, in its original desig-
nation of the distribution when
the 1951-52 budget was adopted,
is equivalent to court action.
After receiving Mr.. Fuckers
opinion, the board agreed no ac-
ton was required on its part.
The treasurer, Republican John
Locke Green, said the printing
error would make no difference at
all in county or school operations.
Mr.. Macpherson had warned that
serious consequences might result
