Bootleg Cabbies Hit Danville Revenue as Lawful Cabs Struggle
Virginia Taxicab Association leader Julian Phillips of Yellow Cab says bootleg or gypsy cabs in Danville pull in 100000 to 150000 a year, undercut licensed cabs, and face lax court punishments. Police report few convictions and many drivers receive suspended sentences, allowing rapid reentry to streets.

Williamsburg Faces Cash Gap at Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg, a major world travel site, spent 4 million dollars more than it took in last year. President Carlisle Humelsine says private contributions are needed as inflation has driven deficits higher. The foundation runs restored town buildings, shops, and gardens and gives more gifts than it receives. The Rockefeller family has backed the effort, but Winthrop Rockefeller's 25 year tenure ended with his 1973 death.

Barker denied payoffs but admitted giving a diamond ring to the sheriff for Christmas and loaning money for fishing. He testified he aided two $600 weekly protection payments tied to Janet's Truck Stop near Danville in 1975, though he said he only knew what partner Royster told him.
