City Urges Returd Of Full Cab Service Faults Luted By New Soviet Chief Council NEW FRIEND--Christopher Alan Lankes, 21 months, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lankes of Austin, enjoys the company of a new found lizard. life is full of curiosity and he is delighted as his little friend decides to do some exploring of his TELEPHOTO. Herbert Hoover Physicians Say Outlook The Irving city council has fired back an answer to the owners and operators of the taxi service, Irving Transportation Company.

In a prepared statement, the councilmen replied to a news story and an advertisement appearing two weeks ago announcing the cutback of night-time and Sunday taxi service. The councilmen urged that service be brought back to earlier schedules. The statement alleged that the taxi firm has not lived up to all the requirements set forth by the city government when the firm began operation here two years ago. According to the statement from City Hall, a five-year franchise was offered to the cab company but that this was not accepted. The company wants a 25-year pact instead in order to protect its investment, according to President R.

C. (Bob) Dawe. "At the time Mr. company bought the taxi service, certain promises were made by the company to the city council," the statement declared. "Acting in the interests of the community it was the position that if the company carried out its program of operations as promised, it would be glad to grant a term franchise.

"Many other complaints regarding the service have been received by members of the council from the people of Irving," the statement asserted. According to the council statement, "the council recognizes that any business operation takes time to develop and work out problems." Also, the statement said the city realizes that any transportation company is entitled to some assurance as to the length of time it will be licensed to operate. The City Hall statement said it is felt that a five- year franchise gives the taxi firm ample time to make the needed progress to "develop, improve and stabilize its It was indicated in the statement that the city council fears that the 25-year franchise is being regarded solely as a "marketable item" for sale to some subsequent owner of the cab firm. The fear was expressed that "great possibility exists that the business would tie sold to some other outside operator who possibly may not have the best interests of Irving in The offer of a five-year franchise to the company is still open to Irving Transportation Company, the statement concludes.

Brezhnev declared today the new Kremlin regime will follow a policy of peaceful co-existence with the West and unity in the Communist world.
