$40 Million Proposed
To Acquire Lands for
Parking Development
Advisory Group to Sueees,
PIon to City Heads in Bid
To Aid Privute Interests

The Commissioners advisory
committee investigating the park
ing situation here is expected early
this week to suggest $40 million
revolving fund for the city to
assemble land and lease it to
private parking developers.
The committee was appointed
by the city heads last April. Its
chairman lis Charles M. Upharn,
who also is director of the Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency.
The city heads have refraineG
from taking advantage Of the au.
thority under the District Motor
Parking Facility Act to assembl,
and lease land for parking de-
velopment in the hope that private
interests would provide the needed
facilities.
Developers Encouraged.
The parking agency has at.
tempted to encourage private
developments, and has made
studies and data available fo1
this purpose.
The parking committee was sci
up after Mr.. Upham had suggested
that possibly the time had come
for the city to step in and take
advantage of its power to lease
land for as long as so years to
parking facility developers.
Follows Highway Plan.
The committees recommends
tions will come on the heels of
the newly-proposed 10-year, $140
million highway improvement pro-
gram for the District.
Income from rentals under the
proposed parking program would
go back into the revolving fund.
A major problem in the private
development Of more parking fac
ilities here has been that suitably
located land was often unavailable
or too expensive.
Under the plan, land would be
assembled under an individual
project program. 1T would then be
leased to developers who would use
1t for parking buildings or lots.

Morris Pledges to Garry Probe
Of Federal wills to Top Levels;
Republicans Call Drive 'Phony'
Strong Criticism
Voiced by Nixon,
Tuft and Mundt
By GEORGE Beveridae

A pledge that his Government
cleanup probe will "go to the very
top if necessary" came from New.
bold Morris last night as Re-
publican attacks piled up on the
project.
Senator Nixon, Republican, o1
California, assailed as "a COM
plete phony by the White House
the appointment of Mr.. Morris to
direct the investigation of Federal
corruption as a special assistant
to the Attorney General.
At Louisville, Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio. told reporters
he has no confidence in clean
up campaign under the aegis oi
the Department of Justice"
Promises No Whitewash.'
But Mr.. Morris insisted there
would be mo whitewash" in his
probe, and said his investigations
would not stop short of Attorney
General McGrath himself if evil
dence warranted it.
Mr.. Morris, a New York attorney
who accepted from President Tru-
man yesterday the job of heading
the search for wrongdoers in the
Government, faced the possibility
of figuring in a Senate investi-
cation himself. Senator Mundt,
Republican, of South Dakota, said
he might insist that Mr.. Morris
be called as a witness in an in
quiry into a deal involving the
purchase of surplus oil tankers
from the Government.
Begins Work Tomorrow.
Mr.. Morris will start setting up
the machinery for his new job
tomorrow. Last night he was at
his Sharon (Conn.) farm cele-
brating his 50th birthday with
his wife and four children. From
there he told the Associated
Press:
There will be no whitewash.
That would imply that I had dis
covered something wrong and
then repressed it. 'Whitewash' is
q fighting word to me.
IF there's misconduct any,
where, it's the top official who, is
responsible. When there was a war
in Europe, Gen. Eisenhower got
the credit for winning. If we had
lost, he would have got the
blame" 4
Mr.. Morris was asked if that
meant Mr.. McGrath would be
blamed If corruption were dis
covered in the Justice Department.
''Yes," he replied, adding:
'Mr. McGrath, himself, told me
to let the chips fall where they
may"
Comes as Surprise.
"This whole thing has been a
great surprise to me-" Mr.. Morris
said. II thought I had put my po-
litical career behind me-"
The New York Republican said
his appointment by President Tru-
man came like a bolt from the
blue"
II don't know who might have
suggested me-" he said. There
isn't one friend of mine who con-
suited me about it before I heard
