Taxi Owners Group
Asks License Cei|inq,
Hits Plea 10 Cut Fares

A taxicab operators group, op.
posing a move to reduce cab fares
today said limitation of the num-
her of hackers licenses is the only
way to solve their problems.
John s. Hilbert, secretary OF
the Cab Drivers Association, said
a decrease in the fares would
not increase the number Of people
riding cabs.
Another cabbie organization, the
Associated Taxicab Operators,
Inc, meanwhile, has asked the
Public Utilities Commission for an
informal hearing on the proposal
to reduce fares to the pre-1951
level.
Transit Increase Cited.
The suggestion was made by
George L. Hilton, president. He
said the reduction. cutting 10 cents
per zone off the present rates,
would put the taxicabs In a bet
ter competitive position in view
of the new fare boost granted
Capital Transit Co.
E. Erwin Dollar. business man
ager Of the Associated Taxicab
Operators, Inc, said the increase
in cab fares II months ago was
designed to bring in $24 to $26
a day to the drivers. It is produce
ing only about $18 to $40 a day,
he added.
Mr.. Hilbert was quick to point
out that the figures used by Mr..
Dollar represent the gross income
a day. He said the drivers had to
pay expenses out of that with the
result the net ake-home pay was
considerably lower.
Opposes Decrease.
Mr.. Hilbert added:
1T is true that the increase
granted in April, 1851, has not
brought about the desired in
crease in the cabbies' earnings,
but neither will q decrease ac-
compliSh this end.
THE answer is to stop issuing
licenses for two reasons -protec-
ton for the man who earns his
living serving the public Is q cab

overcrowded streets"

to gain entry. He went to jail,
but six years later, he started
housebreaking by the same
method and ran into Maj. Muir
rays memory.
There was the housebreaker
who always said to his victim:
"You lie down on the floor" And
another who always cut the tele-
phone wire at the start of his
housebreaking effort. They re-
peated themselves, and Maj. Muir
ray remembered them, despite the
passage Of years.
Capt. Felber said Mai. Murray
could remember the smallest de-
tail in a witness statement-the
sort of detail that Capt. Felber
said he himself always made a
note of for fear of forgetting. He
said Maj. Murray frequently calls
him now to mention a name as a
likely suspect because something
rings a bell in his mind.
One day, a few years back,
Capt. Otto Fuss couldn't believe
a memory feat and went to the
records to check. He had shown
Maj. Murray a mans picture and
asked if he knew him.
"Sure," said Maj. Murray. IF
you'll look up his arrest sheet,
you'll find that. in 1888, I ar
rested him in an apartment hall
way, with two other fellows"
He then proceeded to name
the man. the companions with
him that day. the address Of the
apartment and the nature Of the
offense. Capt. Fuss did check
Every fact was correct.
Name Not Everything.
Asked If he had any memory
tricks. Mai. Murray said there
was nothing to it.
IF you're interested" he said
you remember. Sure I remem-
ber names and faces. but so dc
a lot of the others. And don't
forget: Remembering a name may
bring the man in, but you've still
got to break the case Some OF
our men worked all night on this
Drinks case. They deserve the
credit"
He leaned back in the chat,
behind his desk and sighed.
"You know" he said, when
these bad cases happen, I want
to get out and work on them
But I can't do it. We've got
good men, and I wouldn't want
them to think I didn't have COM
plete confidence in them or
wanted the glory. It's just that
the urge to get in there is awfully

with the detective. He checked

In these cases and many others,
it was the method of operation

|Murroys Memory Traps Many a Thief
By Miriom Gutenberg

AS chief Of police. Maj. Robert
w. Murray can't 60 out on the
street as a detective any more,
but he has his memories.
Those memories paid off yester-
day in the prompt solution of the
$65,000 Drinks armored truck
theft.
Veteran police officers were not
surprised. Their chiefs phenome-
nal memory has been a legend
around police headquarters for
years. H..
The chief himself is inclined to
brush it off.
"Any detective who is any good
at ALL" he said, has to have q
good memory. You've got to de-
pend on memory more than on
written records"
In the Drinks case, as soon as
Inspector jeremiah Flaherty men,
toned that a Drinks truck had
been robbed, the name Of Ray
Eugene Farmer jumped into Maj.
Murray's mind. He told Inspector
Flaherty. to have him picked up
at once as a good suspect" It
was the only name he mentioned.
Recalls 1949 Link. u
| Why did he connect Farmer
and Drinks? Because in 1949,
during the roundup Of the
"Pimply Face Gang" a Drinks
uniform showed up and was
traced TO Farmer. d There was no
charge against Farmer at that
time, but Maj. Murray didn't for
get the name.
Both Inspector E. E. Scott,
chief of detectives, and Capt.
Richard Felber, head of the
Homicide Squad. yesterday re-
called spectacular feats Of mem
ory exhibited by Maj. Murray
while he was teamed with them.
Inspector Scott recalled a pants
burglar" operating in the 9Th and
10th precincts when Maj. Murray
was a precinct detective. Since
the burglar climbed over porch
roofs to rifle the trouser pockets
Of sleeping residents. it was as
sumed the, burglar was a man.
But Maj. Murray recalled that,
three years earlier, he had picked
up a colored girl operating as a
pants burglar" At that time,
the victim refused to prosecute.
Maj. Murray arrested the girl
again. recovered some of the
stolen property and solved 40
cases.
Then there was the holdup man
who got construction company
payroll. Agitated witnesses
couldn't describe his face very well
because they were distracted in
tentionally by a strip of adhesive
tape on his noe. But he was
caught and sent to Jail.
Repeats 8 Years Later.
Eight years later, two i1oldups
occurred. Maj. Murray's attention
was caught. by a witness, state
ment that the holdup man had
adhesive tape on. his nose. He
remembered the other case, and
the man went back to jail.
While Maj. Murray was at the
10th precinct, a series of house.
breakings occurred between 8 and
S. am. The thief would break
into private home, raid the. re-
frigerator for refreshments and
then proceed to rob the house.
One day, man was arrested
in another precinct for sleeping
in a Car. Maj. Murray attended
the lineup where the man was
routinely on display and heard
the announcement that the man
recently had come out of jail. He
took good look at the mans
face and remembered him. Ten
years before. he had arrested the
man for housebreaking. He re-
called that the man signed" his
jobs by raiding the icebox. The
current series of housebreakings
was solved.
Also at the 10th precinct, Mai.
Murray arrested a daytime bur-
glar who would wear q butchers

zation act passed last month, is In

stated duties.
Silent ON Land Transfer.
He refused to express an opin-
ion on the controversy Of some
years, which involves the Interior
Departments contention that the
planning commission has no power
to transfer land to the city fol-
playground use. The Interior De-

DR.. Lohman said it is a ques-

DR.. Lohn1an said he plans to be
in Washington at least once a

said he intends to participate fully

lied by recent legislation.
