Taxi Insurance
Change Studied

Enforcement of taxi insurance
regulations would probably be
more effective with monthly
rather than the weekly stickers
now used. 1t. Francis H. Dunn,
District hack inspector, said yes
terday.
Some taxi drivers have COM
planned that cab companies from
whom they buy their vehicles use
the weekly insurance sticker as
a Club" to collect Car payments.
Drivers say when they are day
or more late on the payment, the
companies sometimes refused to
issue the sticker.
It., Dunn pointed out that
hackers pay for their insurance
stickers on a monthly basis. The
fee is $14.
Public Utilities Commission
officials have contended issuance
of weekly stickers is necessary to
police insurance requirements.
Lloyd B. Harrison. P. U. C. coun-
sci. said the weekly sticker is a
throwback to the time when
were paid on a weekly
basis. Mr.. Harrison said he sees
no reason to change.
The Washington Criminal JUS
tice Association, which has asked
Congress for sweeping revision Of
taxicab regulations. has pointed
out before that cab drivers re-
ported the Stickers were used to
coerce them when tardy in maxi
ing car payments.

crat of Texas, now has a report
on the taxi industry here made
by William N. Mcleod, jr.. Dis
trict House committee clerk. Mr..

studying the taxi indus
try, said he is checking the
sticker controversy, among other
connected with taxis.

|Sybert Doubts Maryland
Can End Potomac Poet

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. % (P.-
Attorney General c. Ferdinand
Sybert expressed grave doubt"
today that Maryland can call of
by itself a compact with Virginia
on use of the Potomac River.
But he said a question always
will exist unless the Supreme
Court of the United States is
asked to rule directly on it.
Mr.. Sybert's opinion on the
compact Of the 1785 action was
sought by Delegate Lloyd L.
Simpkins. Democrat of Somerset,
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee.
The committee has a bill to
withdraw Maryland from the
compact and another to repeal
the States offer to amend it by
creation Of a Joint commission.
The bills have been introduced
in the Legislature by Delegates
from counties bordering the
Potomac who are disguised with

adopted it.
He also advised that passage
OF the bills would not disturb
the 1881 ban on dredging of
oysters in the river.

Editorial
STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE

ST. CROX AVIS has never sought to capture
headlines. The policy followed has been a constructive, con-
sentative one. Perhaps that is the reason why many ideas
which are presented do not catch fire. Yet, the most impor-
tant things in life are not always of the spectacular variety.
AS.WE LOOK back over the past few years there are
countless examples of the Soundness of our position. One Of
Archie Alexander,s first acts was to dismiss outright one of
the high-ranking cabinet officers. We took the position that
this Was rotten; that there was a better and more acceptable
method; that regardless Of the reasons, the ends sought did
not Justify the means. The then Governor scoffed.
GOVERNOR WALTER GORDON must have read the
papers. He must have brought himself up to date when he
came here, and even before. He must have known that his
predecessors brash actions were held in high disfavor. Yet,
he followed the example BY not dismissing only one, but two
top flight native officials.
NOW THE ACTIONS of the Governor have hit the
Congressional spotlight, and some embarrassing questions are
going to be very difficult to answer. When, for example, the
Governor went ahead with the purchase Of a barge for the
purpose of transporting water, he did not, it was discovered
later, consult with the people who knew most about these
matters, Why2 Then he turns around and dismissed the very
man whose services could have been most valuable to him
Why?
TT rs NOTHING short Of a miracle how a man OF the
caliber Of Governor Gordon could come to a totally strange
place. accept the highest position, one of great responsibility,
and vet proceed to take the very steps which seem most IN
consistent with what is sound and practical But more, this
naner. for one, warned clearly and loudly against the very
steps taken.
THEN WE WENT further and suggested that the Gov

need have no power, but it would be the central core for dis
cusson, which under our circumstances, could be invaluable.
But no.
THEN THE SUGGESTION was made that more serious
consideration be given to natives in high places, but again.
the only news coming from the Governors Office is that un-
known people from far off places. are in the top spots.
THEvG0NERN0RsOW it to himself to read the
papers. He could picks up stray information Of greater value
than he can imagine. Perhaps II is beeatse it is soirees chat
he bypasses il or dismisses it. Much oftt1e displeasure Great
ed, much of the hot water into which the genial governor
finds himself could have been avoided. To us. nothing could
have been easier to stay out of.

Part Of the answer is that Dixie

Northern Republicans have sat by

The Labor Management Rackets

The Dave Beck case has publ

there has been enough exposed to
merit some federal inquiring.
