The lot will be for the use Of

Opening of the lot is expected
to help relieve the parking sit

Originally the university planned
to build a six-story, 1,000-car
parking garage on the site. How
ever this has been postponed be-
cause of the high construction
cost and material shortages. In
addition, officials felt they should
give the lot a try first to see how

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-Spruille
Braden, former Ambassador tt
Argentina. delivered an implied
attack Yesterday on former Mayor
William O'Dwyer. now Arnbassa-
-. dor to Mexico.
Mr.. Braden. chairman of the
New York Anti-Crime Committee
read a formal statement to the
Senate Crime Investigating Com.
mittee after Mr.. O'Dwyer hac
completed two days on the stand
Mr.. Braden urged that the life
of the committee be extended
after March 81. Mr.. O'DWyer adj
mitted that he had appointed te
top jobs in his administration mer
who were friends of underworld
figures. He said in some. but not
all. cases he knew of the friend
ships.
Unofficial Agency.
Mr.. Braden. whose organization
was set up recently as an unofh-
cial policing agency for political
and criminal activities. said:
Just as Caesars wife must be
above suspicion, SO any official
directly or indirectly having to dc
with law enforcement must not
only be good. but must appear
good.
This is imperative from the
aspect of our foreign relations
. Here. at home, we may judge the
corrupt or indiscreet official as
an individual but to foreigners
. he represents and typifies the
United States, and so this Ma
tons reputation for integrity may
, stand or fall by what he does OF
seems to do"
Says Prestige Is Lost.
Mr. Braden said loss of moral
prestige by the United States and
its repercuSsions on others was
demonstrated last October, when
a report issued by a representa-
tive of "a friendly government
noted that bankruptcy and cor
ruption" in his country had IAN
intimate relation to the American
example in racketeering."
He said the United States can
not nationally protest corruption
abroad running our investments,
when there is such blatant cor
ruption at home. He predicted
that as corruption spread capital
would not dare venture into other
lands.
I'VE must wipe out these mob
sters and their political partners
or we will lose our way of life, u
Mr. Braden told the committee.
Called Kremlin's Allies.
He said the Costellos, Adonises
and the rest of this scum and
still more the miserably corrupted
law enforcement officers" were
among the Kremlin's best al
lies ="
Mr.. Braden said he had seen in
other countries how closely the
gangsters and Communists work
together" and wondered IF the
Soviet is not. at least in some
measure, melting these vermin to
def1le our system of law and
order
Mr. Braden said that if Stain
had planned it ''he could not find
speedier and surer way to de-
feat the democracies than by SUBJ
sidizing these gangsters and foul
politicians.
