WASHINGTON. Mar. 2. {P) -- Senator Kendrick, democrat from wyoming, chairman ot the Wilbur Reindeer committee told witness at she hearing that native distress must be eliminated before the con- aroverSieS between the white and native herd owners could be settled.
 Kendrick said cooperative plans tor the developing of the industry were impossible until all doubt of she integrity of the proceeding is cleared from the minds of the na : live herdsmen. Wilbur urged the committee to formulate grazing areas as a protection to the own CTS and to permit the driving of the deer to market.
 Wilbur predicted that the herds would number more than 3,OOO,OO0 head and would mean a future meat supply.
 Leonard D. Baldwin, president of Lhe Alaska Livestock and Packing Company recommended five govern nent experts be placed in charge of five grazing districts. He said the business interests would be forced 70 withdraw if they were to be without the protection of the gov arnment.

 LAND|NG FIELD
C-NTENATIOAN PLA-1ES CAN USE FIELD AS IS, SAYS
 BARROWS

The stamp of approval was placed on the Seward aviation field by Joe Barrows, operations manager for the Pacific Inter national Airways of Alaska, who inspected the airport Friday.
 Mir. Barrows had been interested in seeing the Seward field, par ticularly so since the Pacific-In- ternational scored over their competitors last week when their pilot, Barnhill, made the first landing upon it. Pilot Barnhin who was accompanied by Pilot Mechanician Alonzo Cope, also took off with ease two hours later.
 "The Seward field is excellently located with respect to the local topography" said Manager Bar rows, and apparently in the best spot the section affords" The south takeof is ideal, but the present condition of the north end of the field is not favorable for a take-off in that direction by heavily loaded plane. ''The trees at that end,"@he- -said,a<aro still too near. However, our Bel. lanca and Fairchild ships, now flying out of the Anchorage field, can safely operate from here"
 MT. Barrows was also pleased with the present plans for the continued improvement of the field, advocating strongly that efforts be concentrated on the north end of the runway. He re- commended grading as soon as possible the 600 feet at the north end which was slashed last fall, and then slashing an additional 500 feet beyond that. He said another worthy improvement that might be affected soon, would be the removal of the stumps between the south end of the field and the bay, tho this is of minor importance.

Parking at Union Station.

As new parking regulations were
obviously put into effect at Union Sta
ton without much consideration Of the
special problems involved in this area,
the traffic authorities should give them
the study they deserve and seek to bring
some order out of what now is chaotic
and stupid arrangement Everybody is
generously provided for except the pri-
vate citizen who dares drive his own
automobile to Union Station to meet a
train or put his family aboard. The
taxicabs, enjoying what the courts have
already found TO be an entirely lawful
monopoly. take up large portion OF the
parking space near the automobile en-
trance and possess the favored position
for loading and unloading passengers.
Their competitors, the taxicabs who do
not have the monopolistic privileges are
jockeying for the remaining space. The
private citizen. who does nothing but
pay for the whole business through his
patronage or through his taxes, is shut
out. Unless he chooses to surrender and
use a taxicab to go to Union Station he
Is outsof luck and without friend.
Angle parking around Union Station
formerly afforded more space for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-07-19

parking private vehicles. After un-
loading his passengers the motorist
could drive some distance away and,
parking his car, return to the station
afoot and see friends or relatives to the
departing train. Or, parking his car,
he could meet q train, escort his pas
sengers to the loading platform,
apologize for his absence and scurry
away to get his automobile and later
pick them up
When angle parking was abolished,
the abolition was applied, rather blind
~. to the area around Union Station.
The sensible reasons which actuated
the regulation elsewhere were alto
getiier lacking at Union Station. The
circular drive around the Columbus
plaza Is wide enough for any trafic
needs and angle parking caused no
trouble The substitution Of parallel
parking merely cut down parking
space without any compensating bene-
fits to trafic.
What space remained was promptly
seized by hackers and a few fortunate
individuals. The hackers apparently
spend a large part of their time pol
ishing their cars or doing. The poor
fellow who is anxious to park his car
and get back to the station promptly
is the unfortunate victim.
1t is to be hoped that the trafic au-
thorities will remedy this condition and
make point Of looking out for the pri-
vate automobile owner. After all. he
has some rights.
