UNINSURED CABS PUT OFF STREETS Columbia Firm’s Taxis Told to Pay Judgment and Get $11,000 Policies. The 52 members of the Columbia Cab Association—which has as many cabs on the streets—were ordered to surrender their licenses and permits to Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer today because the association has failed to pay a $350 judgment re- turned against it in Municipal Court. It was said some of the drivers, who were not served with notice of the order until Saturday, will have until tomorrow morning to turn in their licenses and permits. Should they fail to comply they will be prosecuted in | Police Court, it was announced. This is the first time the punitive provisions of the District’s financial | responsibility act have been invoked | against & taxicab association, Before the tags and permits will be returned the association must pay the judement and post $11,000 of liability insurance for each cab. Under the law, judgments must be paid within 30 days unless the offending driver is tnsured. Edward R. Deane, chief of the Traffic Department’s financial respon- 1 division, said the suit against the Col an accident August 20, 1936. Four of the association’s drivers already have turned in their tags and | been | taken off the streets, it was said, and | permits. All the cabs have the association’s telephone has been disconnected Van Duzer reported a slight im- provement in traffic accidents during July. The figures for July showed 1,070 accidents, 404 persons injured and 7 kiled. In June there were 1,154 accidents, 438 persons injured and 7 Killed. 7 Court (Continued From First PQEP) fact that in my opinion there is no y on the Supreme Court to fill. Senate to consider the propo- &ition because it will certainly become an acate question when the President does send in a nomination, if he does.” Based on Language of Law. The Idaho Senator based his conclu- sion on the language of the new Su- preme Court retirement law, which enables the Chief Justice to request a retired justice to perform judicial serv- ice on the circuit. Borah reasoned that if st service can be required, it is only on the theory that the retired member is a )ustice of the Supreme Court, because he was never appointed & justice of the Circuit Court. Con- gress, the Senator said, could not make him a uit Court judge by law without the member being appointed to that court “There are only three ways by whicn & justice can be separated from his position.” Borah continued. “By im- peachment, by resignation or by death.” | ‘What Congress should have done in the recent law, which permits justices to retire at pay after 70 years of age, the Idahoan argued, was to say that after a justice resigns he could be given compensation instead of the retirement plan. Chairman Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary Committee, taking issue with Borah, admitted that & member is still a tice, but said he doubted whether, upon and study of the law, lawvers would €ay that the President has no right to name another appointee to perform the services of the retired justice. Even if They Were Insane. “Suppose the entire membership of the court should become insane?” Ashurst inquired. “Congress would grant them retirement, and does the | Senator say that the President would then be without power to name other members to the court to carry on the Judicial work?” “1 say Congress could not legislate nine insane men out except by im- peachment,” Borah replied Using another illustration, Ashurst wanted to know if the President would | not have power to make appointments | - if all of the members of the Supreme Court decided to retire, contending that without such authority, the judicial branch of would be paralyzed Borah insisted the offices would have to become vacant by the hand of God or by the methods laid down in the Constitution Ashurst then inquired if a recess appointment should be made after Congress adjourns and the membe. so appointed cast the deciding vote in a | 5-4 decision, whether that decision would not be binding, even though the new judge had not been confirmed by the Senate. Borah said that if a vacancy actu- | #lly existed, the man appointed dur- | ing the recess would be a de facto Judge and his action would be bind- ing. but the Idahoan insisted that in this case the vacancy does not exist. Hutcheson Mentioned. Meanwhile the name of Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson, jr., of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was pre- gented to President Doosevelt today by Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas for consideration in selecting a successor to Justice Van Devanter. Senator Connally said he also pre- gonted several other names to the Paint your screens now and they won’t rust. 75c¢ qt. _922 N. Y.

He said Judge Hutche- son is a Texan, 55 years old, and, in | his opinion, has all the qualifications required. Senator Connally said he | wants to see appointed to the Supreme | Court young men as well as liberal- | minded men. The Senate row over the President's right to make a recess appointment to the Supreme Court served as a prelude to consideration today of the judiciary procedure bill.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan hinted he might take the same posi- tion, | Vandenberg offered a resolution to | place the Senate on record against | any recess appointment.

CONFIRMATION DUE IN SECURITY 10BS Senate Expected to Act Today on Nomination of Nine Employes. ‘The dispute over jobs at the Social Security Board neared settlement to- day,, with the Senate prepared to act on the nominations of nine em- ployes, reported out late yesterday by the Appropriations Committee. In- cluded were those of Frank Bane, executive director; John J. Corson, assistant executive director, and Leroy Hodges, head of the Bureau of Old-Age Benefits. ‘This group was the last of a block of 52 nominations tied up under a new law which required Senate con- firmation for all employes getting $5,000 or more annually. The others were acted on last week. Confirmation will pave the way for those involved to draw pay for July which previously has been withheld. Dissatisfaction with employment policies at the board led to the re- striction on appointment which was eflected by a Senate amendment to the independent offices bill. At the same time, it was announced at the board that efforts are being made to reach about 20,000 persons who have not applied for lump sum payments due under the old-age ben- efit provisions of the act. This money represents tax paid by | persons who have reached the age of | 65 or have died since January 1, and | the payments will range from $5 to | approximately $200. The board takes it for granted that in some instances the amount due is | so small that claimants are not in- clined to seek it. In other$, obviously, the application has just been ne- glected. The prospective beneficiaries | are located all over the country.

LINDEN, N, J, August 3.—Taking the path of least resistance, a Penn- sylvania Railroad spur line looking much like a scenic railway was cut through the Jersey meadows at top apeed today, rapidly catching up with & more conventional track being laid by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. Ahead lay & mythical oridge over a State highway—a bridge which, if built, would give one or both railroads access to a lucrative freight business of part of a booming industrial area. Officials of the Pennsylvania and Central, long rivals for New Jersey's freight and passenger trafic, do not call it a race. But the workmen say the State highway (route 25) is their goal and they've been told not to let the meadow grass grow under their feet. For quite some time the Central Railroad has been laying a spur line from its water front route toward the | highway. The Pennsylvania suddenly laid down 100 feet of track—not con- nected at either end—blocking prog- ress of the Central Railroad spur. Central workmen removed the barrier by installing a “frog” crossing. Before dawn yesterday 100 Penn- sylvania workmen hopped from autos and trucks, turned searchlights on the meadows and started laying track— almost any old way so long as it was | quickly—parallel with a portion of the | Central spur. | The rival gangs worked at break- | | neck speed—the Central men pushing | their permanent line ahead and the | Pennsylvania men rapidly catrhmz‘ up with their meandering temporary | line—with the goal apparently a point | on the highway, where it is reported a railroad bridge may be built across | the road. The race started, it was reported, when railroad lawyers gave the opin- ion that the first railroad to reach the highway with a spur would have .hold & bridge pler. To GdinRoad and Bridge Right bridge the highway would be granted by the State until it had been made a divided highway, with a center isle to This could not be done for a year or more, he sald, because no highway funds were available, .
