Ac- cording to the measure, the num- ber of licensed cabs operating in the city would be limited to 102, including 75 regular licenses and 25 permits to be issued to veterans of the armed forces. May- or Harvey criticized the veter- an’s limit and Commissioner Del- io Cobo concurred, saying that it was discriminatory and asked that the ordinance be amended to give Korean war veterans a_ three month period in which they could apply for taxi permits. On Cobo’s motion, the ordinance was amend- ed to allow a limit of five cabs per operator. The measure will come up for second reading at the next commission meeting.

The Saints held a lead of 8-5 going into the ninth but Miami Beach came up with four runs, sparked by doubles from the bats of Chuck Ehlman and Whitey Platt. Three St. Petersburg singles netted the tying run in the bottom half and sent the game into over- time. The winning run came after Ed- die Wilson lost Neb Wilson’s wind- blown fly to center.
