Easy Parking
Aim Of Center

There'll be less squeeze and

Women dictated the parking
arrangements" said Traffic
Palmer Wilbur Smith of New
Haven, Conn.
After a survey of other large
shopping centers throughout the
nation, Mr.. Smith and the de-
velopers decided the Seven Cor
ners parking spaces would be
nine feet instead of the usual
eight.
That way" Mr.. Smith said,
shoppers will not have to
squeeze gingerly in and out of
their cars. Every detail of the

Mr.. Bialer said he learned

these actions Mr.. Bialer testified

He recalled that Beria was ac-

Soviet Premier Bulganin did just
that.
He said Mr.. Malenkov was
ousted for Understanding the
Importance Of heavy industries
but some of the secret charges
against him were the same that
had been made against Beria.
The witness also attributed in
part the replacement of Mr.

re establishing relations with

Director Since 1949
DR.. Seckinger has been di-
rector of public health here
since 1919. He Joined the Dis
trict Health Department in 1885.
He was assistant health officer,
co-ordinator of health and hos
pitfalls and acting superintendent
of District General Hospital
before his appointment as public
health director.
Budget officials have often &C
cused him of asking for the
moon in his appropriation re-
quests and termed him an
empire builder, but he has ex-
pressed pride at the vastly larger
budget he has managed to get
for the Health Department than
that obtained by any of his pred
eceSSors.
He has often come under fire.
His most frequent response has
been that he couldn't get as
much money as he sought. In one
letter to The Star, he wrote that
prevention of disease is "a
costly charge and the only
method open to officials of the
District government agencies is
to request funds through the
