came to Florida to fish.
The only thing I've caught is
the upholstering on my car.
My daughter Martha got one
of the hooks imbedded in the
front seat and 1 had to cut the
fabric to get it out.
So here we were in an under
water wonderland. This is the
closest I've been to fish. Mer-
maids are floating in front of
me. Their underwater ballet is
something to behold. The
music is enticing, romantic,
terrific.
Small fish, a lazy turtle,
other sea life float about. You
are carried to the lazy depths.

under sharp attack from the
United Automobile Workers I'm

inadequate and in some respects
harmful.
1.-The bill gives the appear

Area B PARKING
Plans Approved

/ Southwest Washington rede-
velopment inched another i'm
portant notch forward Yesterday
with the approval of plans fol
automobile parking between curt
| line and building line in Project
Area B.
| The redevelopers won another
major concession in the same
project area permission to
set back a proposed eight-story
apartment HOUSE farther from
the curb line than coming resu-
lations now allow.
The approving agency in both
cases was the District Board Of
Zoning Adjustment.
Members of the BOARD seemed
doubtful at the outset whether
any action was required of them
One member, Robert o. Clouser
further expressed concern over
what he said was the precedent
breaking nature ot the parking
space request.
Action Summed Up
! The board concluded, however
! it not only was required to act
but enjoys the discretion OIL
granting the requested sweeping
exceptions from existing zon.
! ing laws.
Chairman Theodore I. Coe
summed up the boards speedy
action-most cases are taken I'M
der advisement for a period-ir
this fashion:
1--WE are dealing here with a
whole bulk of land, not merely
with isolated properties. 1t is to
be developed as a unit. Re-
specting the parking space re-
quest, for example, we realized
that in this new area every ad-
vantage must be taken to pro-
vide parking space for each
tenant"
The argument that appeared
to clinch the Redevelopment
Land Agency's case before the
board came from Allan B
Elliot, chief underwater of the

| Mr.. Elliot testified the agency
strongly favors adequate park
ing space for housing develop
iments such as Project B f.
nanced jointly by Federal and
local government.
THE District has not kept
pace with the times in the
matter of parking" he said

proposal that 100 per cent park

Explains Theory
Mrs. Chloethiel Smith, archi

estate developers contracted tt

theory behind the requested zon'
ing allowances.
The chief idea, Mrs. Smith
said, is to eliminate alleys, Ions
the fostering centers of Wash

street and building line woulc
obviate the need for alleys anc

I Defense Secretary Wilson ant
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs o.

today that a workable arms in

Admiral Radford said ariel in.

at key points could practically
guarantee that no surprise at.

Gent magnitude to destroy either
side"
| Mr.. Wilson said inspection
would be extremely difficult but

In answer to questions Mr.. Viii.

sides thought they were negotiat.

and management recognized that
fact.
. In a prepared statement, Mr.
Wilson said any disarmament
plan which did not reduce the
possibilities of surprise attack
would hold unacceptable risk!
to the security of the United
States"
1T is generally agreed BY
those nations which have partici.
pated in disarmament talks, in
Guiding the USSR," Mr.. Wilson
said. that under the present
state of scientific development, il
is technically infeasible to detect
hidden nuclear stockpiles or tt
account for all past production
OF nuclear weapons"
He pointed out that the Com.
munistS in North Korea have
"fagrantly violated the terms oil
the armistice agreement on nu.
merous occasions"
Ban Not Proposed
Admiral Radford said the
Presidents proposal in a recent
letter to Soviet Premier Bulganin
for a freeze on further stockpil-
ing of atomic weapons was IAN
important new STEP"
The admiral emphasized that
the President was not proposing
a ban on nuclear weapons. The
freeze would maintain American
Soviet relative atomic strength
at present levels.

change in the world situation
a change whic hhe did not expect

Mr.. Wilson and Admiral Rad
ford recognized the dangers Of
