Sparkman Asks Boost
In Down Payment for
Mid-Income HOUSING
By the Associated Pres,

Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
of Alabama today proposed a
sitter down payment for housing
under the administrations new
program to provide dwellings for
moderate income" groups.
The program proposed by Presi-
dent Truman would allow cooper
atives or nonprof1t corporations
to qualify for long-term, low-in-
terest loans by paying down as
little as 212 per cent of the total
cost on project.
Il want to increase that to at
least per cent of the projects
COST" Senator Sparkman told
reporter today.
Would Go Into Capital Stock.
These cash payments would go
into capital stock of a national
mortgage corporation for housing
co-operatives. Eventually the pay
ments would replace $100,000,000
of Treasury cash advanced to
start the new program.
The original bill required that
co-operatives eventually buy CAPT.
tai stock equal to 712 per cent Of
their loans.
Il think that should be in
creased to 10 per cent" Senator
Sparkman added. THE persons
getting the homes would then have
a larger investment in them"
Action on Bill Delayed.
Senator Sparkman is chairman
of Senate Banking subcommit-
tee which has completed public
hearings on the program aimed
at providing S2,000,000,0o0 or
more of Government-guaranteed
loans in the next two years for
building 100000 housing units.
He said the program aims at
encouraging both private invest
ment and private enterprise. The
new corporation would issue deb
entures or obligations, backed by
the Government. to private invest
ors. Funds raised then would be
used for loans.
Senator Sparkman had hoped
to have the bill ready for Senate
action next week, but lack of 8
quorum in his subcommittee has
delayed action there until next
Wednesday.

ID. {. Urged 10 Treat
Parking Problem as
A Public Utility

An official of the Automotive
Safety Foundation suggests that
Washington attack its downtown
parking problem by treating it as
a public utility.
D. Grant Mickle, director of the
foundations traffic engineering
division. made the proposal at a
meeting of the Board of Trade
Traffic Committee in the Burling-
ton Hotel yesterday.
The speaker cited Baltimore's
Offstreet Parking Commission. He
said the city had loaned it S.
100000 for providing parking
facilities. In time. the loan will
be repaid, he said.
Under the public utility theory
of operation. Mr.. Mickle said, the
city would operate garages and
parking lots. It could, however,
lease out such facilities to private
interests.
Handle the problem like other
vital community services" the
speaker said. He warned at the
same time that a community can't
be economically healthy when its
traffic is snarled and parking in
adequate. Mr.. Mickle praised
planners in the Silver Spring area
for affording facilities that attract
both businesses and shoppers.
But, he warned, that community
has developed SO rapidly it is
faced with growing congestion
This can only be answered by
provision of adequate street facili-
ties.
Mr.. Mickle several times stressed
the need for considering both the
all day and short time parkers
when working out a program.
William o. Hermann, commit
tee chairman, presided.

vester Ryan then ruled that Mr.
Palmer, who wanted to ask Mr..
Bremen what he knew about
overlapping activities by other
agents, could not pursue the sub
ject furtheqfE70 7fI.J.a5 3
AT pretrial hearings Mr.. Palmer
succeeded in proving that FBI
agents tapped telephones at Miss
Coplon's apartment in Mclean
Gardens, Washington, and at her
mothers home in Brooklyn.
Judge Ryan ruled Mr.. Palmer
could explore the subject before
the trial jury when the agents
who did the actual wire tapping
took the stand.
Paragraph Repudiated.
Mr.. Brennen's testimony cor
roborated the story of the prose-
cution's first witness, Special
Agent Richard Hradski, who
trailed Miss Coplon from Penn
sylvania Station to a rendezvous
with Gubitchev, a member of the
United Nations staff, in uptown
Manhattan last January.
Like Mr.. Hradski did the day
previously, Mr.. Bremen repudi-
ated paragraph in an FBI sur
veillance log" which said Miss
Coplon had struck at Gubitchev
shortly after they met with her
hand and folded newspaper. "
The log, prepared by another
agent, had been initiated by Bren-
men and Hradski.
Mr.. Bremen said he saw Miss
Coplon "gesticulate vehemently'
with the folded newspaper and
shake it in Gubitchev's direction,
but insisted that she did not
strike at him.
Miss Coplon at her Washing
ton trial said she struck at the
Russian, who she had expected
to marry, because for the first
time in their courtship he confided
to her at the January meeting
that he was married.
Lawyer Is Admonished.
Abraham Pomerantz, attorney
for Gubitchev. in his cross exam
lnation of Mr.. Bremen sought to
prove that the FBI agents had
tipped their hand" in their first
surveillance of Gubitchev and he
knew he was being followed.
Judge Ryan admonished Mr..
Palmer several times when the
defense lawyers tactics drew
laughter from spectators in the
crowded courtroom.
"Mr. Palmer, this is a serious
matter and I want you to conduct
yourself more seriously" Judge
Ryan said at one point.
Your honor, I am all serious
ness" responded Mr.. Palmer, who
was fined twice for contempt of
court at the Washington trial.
You are not" snapped the
judge.
Il try to be, your honor"
You do not" said the Judge.
Il will endeavor to be in the fu-
ture, your honor"
You will be-" said Judge Ryan
firmly.
