Belt PARKING
Survey0pens

The Districts Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency has launched a
survey to determine the parking
facilities in the area surround
ing the downtown district.
The area mass transit survey
is cooperating in the project.
Lewis r. Watson. jr., parking
agency executive director, said
today the transit survey has put
up $4,000 of the $4,000 cost of
the new project.
The downtown survey, COM
pleted last summer. covered the
area bounded by Massachusetts
avenue NV. on the north, Con-
stitution avenue on the south
and extending between Second
and Twenty-third streets NV.
The new study covers the sec
ton outside that downtown area
but lying within the projected
Inner Belt Highway. Roughly
the boundaries for the survey
are the Potomac and Rock Greek
Park on the west, T street NV.
Florida avenue and Benning
road on the north. the Anacostia
River on the east and Independ-
ence avenue and Virginia ave-
nue. to Barney circle S.R on the
south.
Mr.. Watson said it is hoped
to develop a picture Of where
traffic will come into the central
part of the city through the In
ner Belt Highway barrier" and
where parking will be needed
and of what type.
He said he had asked the
transit survey officials to pro-
duce recommendations for park
ing on a long grange program.
The new survey began week
ago with the employment of 10
young men to do the leg work.
1t is expected to be completed
by June 80.
Mr.. Watson said he is COM
ing to believe that parking
is pretty well taken care Of
downtown by private industry"
He said that, 10 times out Of
20 a motorist can come down.
town and get a parking place
within two blocks of where he
wants TO 20.
The survey of the downtown
area completed last September
showed 6,768 curb parking
places and 35,346 off-street
places. a total of 42.l14.
A recheck, he said. showed be-
tween 900 and 1000 additional.

zens he was grateful to them for
their previous support.
He started out with State Sem

Raps Farm Program
The Eisenhower administra-
tons farm program was criti-
cized by the candidate in his
speech last night. He said
farmers are entitled to some sort
of price support.
In all my years of campaign
ing, except for the war years"
Mr.. Tydings said. I've never
heard so much dissatisfaction
from the farmers"
He declared, Industry receives
first consideration and the farm
err is the forgotten man under
the Eisenhower administration.
The farmer is entitled to come
in and be placed on a reasonable
parity with the rest of the popu-
lation."
Among those turning out to
support the candidate at the
rally was former Representative
Dudley G. Rowe. who lost his
seat to Republican Representa-

The Citizens Zoning Advisory
Committee decided yesterday to
try to complete a series of public
meetings to explain controversial
new coming proposals to Wash
ington residents by June 80. but
it left a strong question that
the deadline would be met.
The executive committee OF
the big advisory group, headde
by Thomas j. Groom, president
of the Commerce Bank. in
structed a special subcommittee
to set up the meetings.
/ Harold M. Lewis. New york
conSultant who is drafting re-
coming proposals for every parce.
of land in the city, urged that
the informal meetings be fin
ished in June if he is to meet
a tight schedule" for complet-
ing his proposals.
Members of the citizens group
who already have opposed some
OF Mr.. Lewis basic ideas. how
ever, doubted the time schedule
could be met, and pressed for q
chance to present their own
analysis of the Lewis proposals
at the citizens meetings.
Basic Split
Their demands caused this
basic split, which was left
largely unreSolved:
In setting up the public meet
ings. should the Citizens Sub
committee merely explain Mr.
Lewis proposals. with an oppor
tunity for any dissenters to speak
from the floor? Or should il
arrange to give the public dis
senting views by various subcom-
mittees of the Groom Commit
tee?
This issue was raised when
Ernest F. Henry. chairman OF
the subcommittee which will
arrange the hearings. suggested
that it present Mr.. Lewis pro-
posals land any counter pro-
posals" for new coming,
!. Thus far. Mr.. Lewis only has
issued a series of five reports
describing his proposals for new
coming classifications. BY May
10. he promised yesterday, he will
have % a set of regulations de-
filming the new zoning classified
tons and 90 a set of 10 maps
showing how the new zoning
would apply to all District land
Only General Reports
Attorney James C. Wilkes
noted that the various Groom
Subcommittee thus far have had
only the general reports to ana
lyze the new coming maps next
month so they can make "spe-
cif1c recommendations" to the
public.
However, Mr.. Lewis charged
this would amount to telling
the people what to say" when
the basic purpose of the meet
ings was to get citizen reaction
to the Lewis proposals.
Mr.. Lewis noted that his con-
tract with the District called for
a final report" on new coming
proposals to the commissioners
by November 8. He said he
wanted a complete reaction from
the public to his preliminary
proposals to guide him in the
November final report.

committee should be as much

of neutrality.
 As for the man the revolt had made Premier briefly, Kadar said an agreement with Nagy "could be possible only if he changes his attitude and comes out of the e,n- bassy to negotiate"
 Purge of Top Reds
 In a desperate attempt to end the general strike paralyzing the revoH- shattered nation, Kadar's regime announced a mass purge of former top Communists and the premier expressed approval of limited free" elections "at a later date"
 Budapest radio said Kadar told the workers delegation, however, that the only parties which would be allowed to participate in cleo tions would be those which stand for socialist principles and serve the interests or the WorkerS.
 No Deportations
 Kadar claimed he had reached an agreement with Soviet military authorities in Hungary that mo one may be deported," and de- clared the government would hold no one responsible for par ticipating in the uprising of the past three weeks"
 This contradicted a Budapest radio broadcast Wednesday which admitted the Soviet army is de- porting Hungarians to the east in sealed railway cars in desperate effort to stamp out revolutionary clements. The radio told of the deportations in explaining why the general strike had not ended.
 Kadar declared in Thursdays statement that only persons ar rested during commission of "acts of terror" and crimes would be prosecuted.

Ten Engine B-36 Bomber Crashes, Burns North of Denver: All Escape

DENVER, R-A 10-engine B36 bomber crash-landed and burned in stubble field north of Dem ver's Municipal Airfield yester- day, but all 21 men aboard es- capped death.
 The giant craft is one of the type regarded by the US. Air Force as top long-range weapon in case of war. Each costs an esti- mated $31s million to build.
 The 21 men were taken to the hospital at Lowry Air Force Base, where the plane had taken off about 10 minutes before the crash.
 One crewman was trapped for nearly an hour in the nose of the plane before he was rescued by firemen from Lowry and Staple ton Airfield, the municipal air field.
The Nome nugget., 1956-11-16

By the time crash crews had reached the scene, all of those aboard except this one man had scrambled free of the fiercely burning wreckage.
 Rescuers using metal shears and large mobile crane ripped open the nose section and removed the trapped man, who then was flown to Lowry by helicopter.
 The plane was attached to the Strategic Air Command and was based at Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, SD. SAC headquarters said a normal crew is l6 men, but it is not unusual to have extra person nel aboard.
 The plane had landed at Lowry Wednesday because of bad weath- CT at Rapid City. Soon after the takeoff Thursday, the pilot ra- dioed he had run into trouble and would try to get back to Lowry.
 Then, realizing he did not have enough altitude to reach the air base, the pilot tried to make Sta pleton but crash-landed mile north of the runway.

Dodge Torsion Bar Here's What It Is
 And What It Does

DETROIT-What is a torsion bar?
 A feature of the new suspension system in the 1857 Dodge, torsion bars seem destined to become familiar words to motorists. Right now, tho, few people other than mechanics and engineers know what they are all about
 In the first place, torsion bar is spring, and it is being used in the 1857 Dodge in place of coil springs with a huge saving in space and much improved eff ciency.
 A torsion bar can be compared roughly to flat piece of metal, like an ordinary ruler, that he been held at each end and twisted slightly. The word torsion means "a state of being twisted"
 From that point on, it would take an engineer trained in the principles of metallic stresses and stains to explain why the perma- nently twisted bar does its work so well. To the motorist, it means a much longer spring life, a smoother ride, and lowered car silhouette made possible by the elimination of the much bulkier coils.
