AN AERIAL TAXI TEST was declared "terrific" yesterday by A. J. Cervantes (in dark suit), president of Laclede Cab Company. Flying time from the Lambert-St. Louis Municipal Airport was six minutes; the cab leaving the test landing strip at city parking lot on the river front took four minutes to get to a downtown hotel in the test. Cervantes said the CAA has approved the plan and he will now try to lease a landing strip on the parking lot.
