aims worldwide alliance.

anxieties that the project would
hurt their old time trading ar
rangements and political unity.

Germ to their respective coun-
dries and the extent to which
their interests had not so far
been met" in the Common

pressed the readiness Of their
governments to Join In COM
prehensive international efforts

factures.

tant contribution which the

and vigorous approach to the
negotiation Of international !
commodity agreements"

Northwest BOYS
Warned Against
Gang Rumble

A group of 20 Northwest
Washington youths and their
parents were given stern advice
at police headquarters last
night on what baseball bats are
for-and what they're not for.
Two Youth Aid Division de-
tectives had asked the teen
aged boys to appear voluntarily
at headquarters to talk over a
rumble" that was narrowly
averted last week.
The % teen-agers were mem
bers Of two groups Of boys
one from the Chevy Chase cir
Gle area, the other from the
Cleveland Park area-who con-
fronted each other nine days
ago on a school playground.
Detectives Herman G. Miles
and Richard E. Darnall Of the
Youth Aid Divisions gang
squad said over 80 youths were
involved in the near-brawl. The
youths, armed with baseball
bats, had gone to the Lafayette
School tract to settle a dispute
over party-crashing.
Police and the older brothers
of some Of the boys broke UP
the fight before it started.
At last nights talk, the de-
tectives warned the youths of
serious consequences that could
have resulted in a bat-swinging
melee.
The parents who accompa-
MED most of the teen-agers
told police the incident would
not be repeated. No charges
were placed.

Taxi PAINTING
Order byD.C.
Being Studied

The chairman Of the District
Public Utilities Commission
said today he had an "open
mind" about an order his COM
mission issued earlier this year
requiring all independent taxi
cabs to be painted the same
colors.
James A. Washington, Jr.,
made the statement prior to a
scheduled afternoon conference
in the office Of Congressman
Multer, member Of the House
District Committee, who wrote
the commission that the order
should be revoked.
The letter from the New York
Congressman this week was the
second protest from q member
Of the District Committee to
reach the commission concern
ing the painting order. Under
the order all independently
owned taxicabs are to be
painted black with q sapphire
blue band around the middle
by next April.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-01
To Aid Identification

The commission order stated
that the Standardization of the
many colors used by some $50
independent cabs was designed
to facilitate Identification by
the riding public.
The other protest, calling for
suspension Of the order at least
until a public hearing is held
on the matter. came from Con-
gresham Broyhill, Republican
of Virginia.
Mr.. Washington told q re-
porter there were good rea-
sons" for the order but that
If there was a wide protest on
the part Of the independents"
or Congress, this would OBJ
viously have to be taken into
consideration.
He said the painting order
Is included in a proposed re-
vision Of the commissions en-
tire taxicab regulations, on
which there will be a hearing
around mid-September.
II would like to wait until
the hearings to get everyone's
views" before taking any ac-
ton on the order, the chair
man said.
Letter Cites Cost
Mr.. Washington explained
that the commission did not
have "the slightest idea" of
driving the independents out of
business. Mr.. Broyhill's letter
said the cost Of repainting
might force the independent
owner into associations which
operate the great majority of
cabs in the District.
Standard colors for the indie
pendents will help distinguish
them from the association
fleets. each of which uses one
set Of colors, the chairman said.
This will make the public
aware that they are riding in
an independent cab. Mr.. WASH
ington said, and that the In
surance liability may be limited
to the assets Of the independent
owner.
The commission order also
forbade the independents from
using a trade association name
and insisted that they paint
their own name and q number
assigned by the commission on
their cabs.
Identification Of cabs by
police will also be aided, Mr..
Washington said today. The
color Of a cab is often all
that q member Of the riding
public remembers when he or
she makes a complaint to police
about anything that occurs in
the cab, the chairman said.

POwhatan Man Dies
In Highway
Accident Saturday

The death of a PoWhatan man
in Cumberland county early Sat
urday morning was the first of
four deaths in automobile acct
dents that day.
Jerry Alton Hicks, 10, died
when his car sWerved off U. S.
route 60 and crashed into the
front of a tractor-trailer parked
off the road, just east Of Cum
berland.
The truck driver, asleep in the
cab. was not hurt, according to
police reports.
Colonel G. w. Woodson, Jr.,
chairman of the Governor
Highway Safety Committee and
superintendent of State Police,
noticed in recent report that
traffic volume had increased
about So per cent. based on
gasaline sales and was I'M
able to give any other explana-
ton for the increase of rs per
cent above traffic deaths for the
first six months in 1861, in Vir-
ginia. Nationally, deaths are up
about 10 per cent, Woodson re-
ported.
There has been no relaxa-
ton of the official effort which
brought the state four national
awards for 1861 performance,
he stated and there appears
to be no lessing Of overall public
concern, but studies of crash re-
ports indicate a disturbing lack
Of individual responsibility and
appreciation Of the dangers pres
ented by modern traffic"

Wheat Acreage Down One Half
Poor Wheat To Raise Flour Price

Reports from Prince Edward
Mills show that 2.131 bushels Of
wheat have been sold at the mill
with an average price of 81 85
per bushel.
Due to some very hot weather
in March and April and of
course the heavy rains, Just
when the wheat was ripe and
ready for harvest. the wheat
crop took a disastrous blow, The
basis price for wheat this year
was set at close to S215 per
bushel. which was 20 cents more
than the average so far.
Last year, there were $4,000
bushels of wheat sold at the mill
by the end of July, at an aver
age price of $l.74.
The almost so per cent drop in
wheat acreage was due to the
fact that most of this so per cent
was put into the feed grain pro-
gram.
According to Dudley Peery,
county agent, the yield was
from five to 80 bushels per acre.
The yearly average for Prince
Edward county is IS bushels per
acre.
Last Monday. Prince Edward
Mills bought a total of 5000
bushels. which was the highest
amount for any day this year.
Sydnor c. Newman. president

that there is no hope of filling
