Donald Kennedy, vice-president of Automo tive Safety Foundation, “The Parking Problem Can Be Solved” by attacking the problem from-the ground up, including a traffic survey to accurately determina what steps should be taken to prove a remedy. In the current issue of “The) Rotarian,” Mr. Kennedy discusscs! the parking problem and lists some of the necessary steps thatl should be taken by coinmunities intent on finding a solution. Hel points out that the chief ques tions for which an answer is be ing sought are; = 1. How to provide adequate parking space or facilities for all-day parkers — those who make a living downtown and contribute to the community’s business stability. l 2. How to provide parking facilities for the short-time parkers, the shoppers, He points out that in many! communities the bulk of the available parking space down town is used by the all-day parkers, persons who use the streets for parking their cars be cause no other parking facility is available. Communitics must | first find a place for these citi zens to park their cars before steps can be taken to reserve the business streets for the short Steel Industry, Core Of Reconversion, = To Be Hard Hit If Coal Miners Sirike WASHINGTON, March 27—(AP)—Government agencies moved swiftly today to soften the blow due to fall April 1 when John L.

UNO Council In Deadlock Over Iranm PRIMARY DECISION MAY NOT ALTER THIS YEAR'S VOTE ~ ATLANTA, March 27 — (AP)— The possibility arose today that a final court decision on the right of negroes to vote lln Georgia Democratic primaries may not be reached until too late to affect the primary this year. The possibility developed after announcement oi an appeal of the Georgia negro voting case to the United States Supreme Court. Observers said this’ appeal,- in which the state of Georgia will file a brief as a friend of the court, might keep the case in litigation until after the primary. . ' The appeal is being undertaken by the Muscogee County Demo cratic Committee in a motion to stay a recent mandate which up held the right of a Muscogee ne gro to vote in a Democratic pri mary. The mandate came from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, and affirmed a previous ruling in Georgia. At the time of the New Orleans decision, there was comment that any appeal to the Supreme Court !probably would postpone a final ‘settlement of the issue until after the primary. _ Meanwhile, former Governor Eugene Talmadge in a statement yesterday declared he saw “no reason whatever for appealing the decision to the U. S. Supreme Court.” Talmadge added: “We do not know what the provisions of this judgment may be.” In a letter to State Demodratic Party Chairman J. . Lon Duck worth, Talmadge reiterated a previous proposal for preserving both the white primary and the county unit system of counting votes. ; He proposed that . the State Democratic Committee be con vened and adopt as party regula iticns all existing Georgia laws re garding primaries. Then, Tal madge said, the legislature could assemble in ‘extraordinary session and repeal all primary laws which conflict with the New Orleans court decision. Thus, he maintained, the pri mary would he divarced from state government and the Democratic party would be free to make any regulations it desired.

J., March 27—(AP)—UNRRA'S work-weary delegates turned back today to the task of finding food for the world's hungry with their eyes focused wistfully—but not very hopefully —upon the larders of the United States and Russia. There appeared scant likelihood, however, that the full resources of either country could be mus tered. at, this meeting for the gi gantic job ahead despite Director General Herbert Lehman's decia ration that return to wartime food controls was essential. Such a step for the TUnited States would mean a return to ra tioning. Persons close to the British and the ' United States de legation have reported - that the western hemisphere coun tries—source of the greater part of UNRRA’s supplies—will not go that far. Instead, it appeared likely that UNRRA’s important committee on supplies would recommend to the relief organization’s 48 mem ber nations these steps: ; 1. Procurement of TUNRRA’s needs in the supplying countries at the producer rather than the consumer levil. In other words, this would mean acquisition of re lief goods before they reached the grocery shelves. ‘ 2. Stringent curtailment i the use of grain for feeding livestock. 3. An intensive program of food production in, all countries. /4 Sharp measures within coun ties receiving UNRRA help to pre vent waste and to speed distribu tion of supplies. 5. Curtailment of the use of grain in producing alcoholic be verage.

Yellovgstone, a destroyer tender assigned to take t:ﬂ in the scheduled Atomic mb test this summer. ~ The formal charge was dis closed late last night by Assistant FBI agent Julius A. Bernard at Portland, hour after FBI Chief J. Edgar hoover had announced rrsley in Washington that Redin nad been seized as he was about 1o board a Russain canning vessel for home. - . Arrainged before U. S. Com missioner - Robert A. Leedy, the Soviet officer, wearing the uni form of his rank, was asked whe ther he understood english. Refuses To Talk Thumping* Ledy’s desk, Redin cried “I will not talk, I will «t talk.” He then demanded to see the Soviet Consul, who was not repre sented at the proceedings. But Ledy, fixing bail at $25,000, ordered the officer to be held in Multnoman County jail in de fault of bond until another hear ing is set. _ Redin, a graduate of the Rus sian Naval Academy who came ‘o this country four years ago, had been under “intensive FBI scruit iny” for several months, Hoover said in Washington, tSate department officials and the Russian Embassy were silent. . There was no immediate clear fut answer to the No. 1 question %ﬂ” d by the arrest: Could Atomic Bomb secret be involved? But a broard Hint that they might be, came from the House Commitee on Unamerican Actii ties, which for several weeks has been digging into reports thai a foreign spy ring is at work in this country. !

Truman'’s Afomic Energy Commissioner ! ¥ Assures Solons Securify To Be Kept WASHINGTON, March 27—(AP)—Bernard M. Baruch has assured ' senators that national security will come first with him during /forthcoming negotiations to share atomic enrgy secrets with the | world. Excused from a scheduled ap pearance on Capitol Hill today, the President’s representative on the United Nation’s atomic com mittee, outlined his wviews in a telegram to Senator Vandenberg {R.-Mich.) Chairman Connally (D.-Texas) planned to read the telegram to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called to econsider Baruch’s nomiaation. He said he might make it public later. Vandenberg said only that he had addressed “four or fivé fun damental questions” to Baruch and had received “satisfactory answers.” As a result the Michi gan senator withdrew his request that the 75-year-old park bench statesman testify before the com mittee. Expected approval of Baruch's nomination will leave to the spe cial -Senate atomic committee the task of further inquiry into pend ing plans for making atomic en ergy developments available to other nations. Chairman McMahon (D.-Conn.) said this phase will be taken up next week when the committee calls David E. Lilienthal and other members of a State Depart ment advisory group who urged world-wide ore-to-energy control by an international authority set un under UNO.
