GroundIess Fears Keep Many

the District but live in nearby
counties. They are the ones who
earn salaries above a certain level
or hold jobs of a highly scientific
or similarly specialized nature.
Many Virginia and Maryland
residents who maintain voting
residences elsewhere year after
year might not want to give them
up, even if shown that they could
safely do so from a Federal job
standpoint.
Some Never Feel Deep Roots.
Some of them, even after years
in this area. never feel they have
roots" sufficiently deep to cause
them to vote in Maryland or Vir-
ginia.
Others profess not to under
stand or be interested in local
politics in those States.
They and others, no matter
how long they have been away
from their original homes and
perhaps never expect to return,
still believe they are in closer
touch with the political situations
there than in Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
The Federal employe who owns
his home in Maryland and Vir-
ginia generally gets around to
registering and voting sooner or
later. The same cannot be said
of the far larger number who live
in apartment developments or
rent homes. Many apparently
consider themselves as tranSientS,
as indeed many are.
Nevertheless, get-out-the-vote
campaigners are convinced that a
surprisingly large number would
register and vote in those two
States if they were acquainted
with civil service regulations and
knew they would not "be sticking
their necks out"

Driiyetaunched
oLinlit Number
OF Cabs Here
Move Is Proposed
As Alternative to
Fare RoIIbuck Plan

A drive to limit the number of
taxicabs on WaShington's streets
is under way by one segment Of
the industry here in the wake Of
a suggestion that fares be lowered.
A meeting of taxicab drivers
and others will be held at 8 pm.
Monday at Laborers Hall, 523
New Jersey avenue NV, to thrash
out the problem. Out Of this ses-
sion, leaders in the fight against
too many taxis here believe, will
come a request to ask Congress
to empower the Public Utilities
Commission to reduce the number
Of cabs.
George L. Hilton. president of
the Associated Taxicab Operators,
Inc, yesterday suggested that taxi
fares here be rolled back to pre-
1851 levels. Mr.. Hilton said he
will file a petition with the PUG
to slash cab fares 10 cents. He
thinks this will put the taxi in
dustry in a better competitive
position, now that the Capital
Transit Co. has secured another
fare boost.
Capital Transit's new fares win
be II cents cash, five tokens for
IS cents and a weekly pass for
$40, effective August 81. Mr..
Hiltonis plan would cut taxi fares
back to the old level of 80, so, 70
and 80 cents for different zones.
But his suggestion has drawn fire
from other parts of the taxicab
industry.
The Police Department said
today that SO far this year there
have been 8,492 licenses issued to
taxi drivers. This compares with
the 1851 figure of 10,26O licensed
drivers. but officials pointed out
that there will be many more ap-
plications before the year is out.
The department said that in 1851
there were 9,273 taxicabs licensed
here.
Some spokesmen for the in
dustry contend that IS per cent
of the taxi drivers, who are
stirred up over the Hilton pro-
posal, are opposed to it. Part
time taxi drivers, who have other
jobs. are another factor in the
complicated picture.
George Bowley, business man.
Iager of the Washington Taxi
News, a publication within the
trade, is credited with sponsoring
Monday nights meeting. This will
be a sounding board for the ills
of the industry and give MIR. Hill
ton an opportunity to state his
position to the people who will
be most affected by it.

Woman Loses $3.50
In 'FIim-FIam' Deal

A 57-year-old woman told po-
lice last night she lost her life
savings of $3.50 in a "f1im-f1am
deal" by two women who ap-
preached her outside a bank at
Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. yesterday.
Mrs. Annie B. Craven, colored.
of 3742 Ninth street NV, said
one of the two women, also COL
ored, claimed to have found a bag
containing $2,150 in bills and $7OO
in bonds.
The story given police went this
way:
The first woman approached
Mrs. Craven and started a con-
versation. A second came along
and told of finding the money,
wanting to know where the lost
and found department was. The
first woman said there was no
such thing. The second woman
said she was an honest woman
and would like to share her good
fortune.
She added, however, that each
should produce evidence of good
faith. Mrs. Craven withdrew her
money, handed it over, and the
three agreed to meet at the post
office at Seventh and F streets
NV. Mrs. Craven waited for two
hours for the other women. who
failed to appear.

Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Welsh

A groundless fear of losing their
Federal civil service quota status
keeps thousands of Virginia and
Maryland residents from register
ing and voting in those States.
That is only one reason why the
ratio of potential voters to actual
voters there has been even lower
than the poor national percentage
of 81 a per cent in the 1948 presi-
dental election.
But it is an important factor
in the nearby counties of Arling-
ton and Fairfax in Virginia and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
in Maryland. The electorate pic
ture would appear in better light
in those areas if so many Federal
employees were not. afraid to
register and vote there.
Government civil service en-
ployes living in Maryland and
Virginia have a variety of motives
for maintaining voting residences
in States from which they origin
ally came, perhaps years ago.
They have a perfectly legal right
to do so. Undoubtedly big pro-
portion actively participates in
elections by absentee ballot.
What Regulations Provide.
But the unfortunate thing, in
the opinion of officials and
organizations in close touch with
voting trends, is that so many of
those people mistakenly fear that
if they register and vote in Vir-
ginia or Maryland they will no
longer be included in the Federal
civil service quotas of the States
from which they came.
Civil Service Commission regu-
lations on apportionment and
residence specifically provide that
such registration and voting does
not affect a persons quota status
while he has continuing employ
ment with the Government. If he
resigned from Government service
but returned later he would be
subject anew to the quota. But as
long as he stayed in the civil
service system he would not have
to be apprehensive about voting
in Virginia or Maryland.
While authoritative estimates
are unavailable, the total OF
Maryland and Virginia residents
lin that category is "unquestion-
ably in the thousands" according
Ito League of Women Voters
experts.
Local election officials also agree
that. as a matter of convenience
|if nothing else, several thousand
Federal employees probably would
vote in Maryland and Virginia
except for some needless fear OF
|''risking" their Federal civil serv-
ice standing.
The quota arrangement, more
over. does not apply to hundreds
of Federal employees who work in
