Stresses Carrier Potential.
Stressing the importance OF the
Nays offensive capabilities, Adj
|miral Fechteler said "the aircraft
carrier task force provides. the
only truly mobile air force In. the
world"
THE Navy Is no longer shackled
by the historic barriers Of the
|shoreline. nor by the range Of its
shipborne guns. but can strike tell
ing blows deep In enemy territory
and can deliver at the target the
atomic bomb" he declared.
Naval task forces, he added,
constitute the only air bases
which can be made available at
the enemy's frontier without as
sault and conquest"
And. concluded the admiral, the
mobility and maneuveribility Of
the task force make it a poor and
improbable target for an atomic
bomb"

Martin A.. Martin. counsel for
nine Colonial Beach Negroes who
filed suit in July. 1850. to halt
alleged discrimination by the
town, said he would ask dismissal
of the 1850 suit.
He explained he would make the
request on grounds that Colonial
Beach does not object to Negroes
using the beach: But he said he
would ask for dismissal without
perjudice so the case could be
brought up again.
Mr.. Martin said town officials
had discussed opening the facili.
ties but no definite action had
been taken. If no facilities were
set aside, he said. Negroes would
attempt to use the beach again
this summer.

Plans for Providing
Parking for Federal
Workers Cars Told

The Government has plans 70,
providing parking facilities fol
Federal workers automobiles. tc
be carried out whenever funds
may be made available.
This was disclosed by w. T.
Reynolds. Public Buildings Com
missioner. In q talk yesterday be-
fore the Metropolitan Develop
ment Committee Of the Board
of Trade In the Burlington Hotel.
Mr.. Reynolds pointed to the
basement parking facilities for
800 cars provided at the new Gen.
|eral Accounting. Office Building.
The 800 figure is 10 per cent Of
the 5000 workers the building
was designed to house.
Other Provisions Made.
MIR. Reynolds said it is planned
to make parking provisions for
the cars Of workers in other Gov
lernment buildings at the same 10
per cent ratio. He explained
later that it would not be feasible
to reconstruct Easements Of pres
|ent Federal Triangle buildings
where some parking space already
lis provided.
But as an example Of whaI
might be. DONE. he cited vacant
lots near the Federal Security
Buildings. which it would be pos.
sible to take over. and use fol
parking.
He made It clear that 1t Is mo-
his idea that Federal worker.
should enjoy this parking servic,
Ifree. He said the parking facili.
ties should pay for themselves.
Opposes Underground Lots.
Mr.. Reynolds did not look witt
favor on large expenditures fo1
underground garages. He citet
the area Of the Great Plaza
bounded by Fourteenth street tn,
District Coast Guard. Post OHIO,
and Labor Buildings.
Construction there, he said
would encounter water at rela
lively high level. and the COS
would be so great "it would b,
cheaper to tell people to take !,
