Nazi air fields in Holland were
bombed.
Three towns on the northeast
coast of England suffered light
attacks during the night from
German planes.

Throughout Thursday evening
the French coast was pounded by
the RAF as the British followed
lup their series OF strong daylight
raids, which now have attained
the level of the 1,000-plane bomb
ings perfected by night squadrons.
Although the day fighters and
bombers do not conduct their as
saults en- masse, they manage to
lput 1000 or more planes over
Nazi territory within a 24-hour
period.

ers, escorted by fighters, made a
heavy attack on the docks at

zoning Change Urged
To Require 0ff-Sfreet
Reservations
Rule Would Be Applied
To All DC. Buildings
Put Up in Future

Spokesman for several groups
today urged the District Zoning
Commission to amend zoning regu-
lations to require that off-street
parking space must be provided,
under stated formula, for all res
idential structures which hereafter
may be erected.
Among those supporting the move,
which has been under consideration
for several years, were spokesmen
for the Federation of Citizens
Associations, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
the Zoning Advisory Council.
However, today's public hearing by
the commission on this proposal
developed that the formula was
too complicated" and Park and
Planning Commission agents sug-
gested a simplified revised draft.
The proposal was that in the case
of a single-family dwelling there
must be on the lot parking space
not less than 200 square feet.
In the case of multiple family
dwellings, officials said, the suggest
ed rule was that for apartment
houses, fats or tenements there
should be one parking space for
each two dwelling units in build
ings in the "A" area districts: one
parking space for every three dwell
ing units in "B" area districts; one
for every four units In buildings
erected in &C" districts, and one
for every five in ID" districts.
AS to hotels, lodging, rooming or
boarding houses, private clubs, fra
ternities or lodges, it was explained,
the proposed rule was one parking
space for every 10 dwelling units
The commission will consider the
proposals at a later executive ses-
sion.
A request that apartment house
Zoning be granted for the Letter
home. at Nineteenth and @ streets,
New Hampshire avenue and Dupont
Circle. now occupied by the National
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics,
drew protests from Mrs. Kenna Ell
kins, the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club and other nearby prop
