Parking Garage
Proposal Seen
AS Doomed
Zoning Unit Expected
To Bor Requirement
For New Apartments

Representative of real estate and
building interests believe the Dis
trict Zoning Commission will dis
approve the proposal to require
parking garages or parking areas for
new multiple family dwellings or
places of public assembly erected in
the future A public hearing on
the plan was held Wednesday.
Suggested to the commission by
Harland Bartholomew. consultant
of the National Park and Planning
Commission, the plan was branded
during the hearing as impractical,
unfair and wrong approach to the
Capitals parking program by
spokesmen for building owners, the
Washington Real Estate Board and
architects.
A large majority of those who
spoke at the hearing opposed the
change Representatives of several
citizens associations expressed them
selves as in favor Of it. The COM
mission took the matter under ad-
| visement, and its decision is ex-
| pected in the near future. Informed
persons in the real estate and build
| ing business feel the Commissioners
are certain to turn down the plan.
Would Curtail Construction.
Chief opposition to the proposal
is based on the argument that such
requirement for new structures
would make all existing buildings of
the types involved non-conforming.
and would curtail construction of
new buildings. 1t is pointed out that
to build garages in apartments large
enough to take care of residents
automobiles would require so much
space that the building would hard
ly yield profit. Ground near the
buildings is usually so expensive as
to make its use for parking im-
practical. Due to the fact that old
buildings would be "non-conform-
ing" owners would have difficulty

was expected to have resounding
effects throughout the Near East.
Why, it has been asked here re-
peatedly in the last three days, did
not Marshal GRAHAM rush REIN
forcements to the front when his
first camps were taken on the OPEN
ing day of the British offensive?
According to the British. the
answer was that he simply did not
nave time.
The British already had reached
the sea on the second day, they
pointed out, blocking the main
channel of communications be
tween Sidi Barroni and Marshal
Grazianis rear.
Kept Mastery of Air.
The Royal Air Force had gained
mastery of the air over Libya from
the outset and kept it. they said.
The possibility Of sending re-
Inducements by sea from Bardia
or Tobruk to Salum was blocked
by Britain's fleet. which kept a
constant patrol of the coasts and
shelled the Italian ports heavily,
harassing troops moving between
them.
All these forces, according to the
British, actually were moving west
ward-back toward Libya.

British military quarters said today,

There was no indication yet how

the advantages they have won or
whether they will try to push across
the Libyan border into Italian ter
ritory But they were reported still
progressing, taking an ever-growing
amount of material and captives.
Security. for the present at least.
for the Suez was counted as one of
the major accomplishments of the
British offensive, seen here already
as a major setback for the axis
