Last session bill to permit minors

he has no intention of forcing the

of the subcommittee have been ad-

reached. In that event, hearings
will be held on this measure.
The judiciary subcommittee tenn

To prohibit the sale of liquor in

D. {. Heads Oppose
Schultz Plan 10 Bar
Downtown PARKING
Proposal Too Drastic,
Commissioners Soy;
Young Offers Scheme

Commissioners Hazen, Young and
McCoach today voiced opposition
to the proposal of Representative
Schultz. Democrat, of Indiana for a
wholesale ban en- the parking Of
cars in the downtown area argu-
ing that this would be too big a step
to take at this time.
AL three Commissioners voiced
appreciation for the efforts being
made by Mr.. Schultz as chairman
of a traffic subcommittee of the
House District Committee to i'm
prove Washington's traffic situation.
However, they all reached the
same view that the District was not
ready for "such a drastic" step.
Mr.. Schultz and the Commission
ers are at odds over the use of park
ing meters. Mr.. Schultz has sug-
gested that their use be abandoned,
whereas the city heads have asked
congressional approval of plan to
extend their use, arguing that the
public and the merchants apparently
like them and that their use is bring
ing some additional revenue into the
District tillS.
Commissioner Young said he felt
there were possibilities of developing
parking areas on the fringes of the
congested area and short-run buses
which might be operated by the
Capital Transit Co. at fares of 5
cents.
Mr.. Young said such parking
areas might be developed by private
interests or by the Government.
The idea has been tried elsewhere.
The suggestion was that for these
off-street parking areas some of the
more decadent residential or busi-
ness areas might be cleared at rel-
atively small cost.
Objection to the Schultz proposal
to eliminate downtown parking was
also made by Arthur j. Sundlun,
president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, on the
ground 1T would work great hard
ship to customers of downtown
merchants and drive business out
of this area"
