THAT'S A STRANGE


THING: The inconvenience
to which men will go in order
to drive their own car into
the Capital.
When the Rambler used
to start work at $3.50 am. at
The Star, he would have diff
ficulty finding a place to
park on the Mall. Sometimes
he would get the last place
about $40. Sometimes it
would be gone and he would
drive to the garage.
The people pre-empting
the places did not have to
get to work that early. They
we're adding two hours to
their day in order to get free
parking. Some would be
reading newspapers, some
mapping, some would shave
themselves with electric
razors plugged into the DASH
board. Now all-day parking
is prohibited on the Mall and
the fringe parking lots are
not fully utilized. Where do
they park2

successful gubenatorial nominee
in 1854. took of the gloves in
"a speech which, he said. prob
ably would be prejudical to
his own political future. He
added, however. that he felt
the rank and file should know
of some Of the things that
have gone on in the past.
Accuses Leaders Of Selling Out
At one point he accused some
party leaders Of having sold out
to the. Republicans and he later
noted that in one, normally
Democratic district a Republic
can had been winning consis-
tently by majorities of more
than 10000.
Another bitter primary fight
with accusations of malfea-
sance. DR.. Byrd said, would as
sure a @. P. victory in 1888.
One of the present candi-
dates. Dr. Byrd continued. sis
said to think he has the COM
plete nod from the States top
Republican and will get nothing
more than token Republican
opposition" He added that such
has happened before and is
happening again.
But the man who will be the
Republican candidate has other
ideas about this. It seems to be
a question Of who is to be sold
down the river" DR.. Byrd said
DR.. Byrd said he would soon
try to set up a luncheon Of the
political leaders to try to map
out a plan that will lead to VIC
tory, but II he fails. he con-
tinued. he had no recourse but
to wage a hard campaign for
the nomination.
Mr.. Lee, describing himself
as an on-the-fence candidate,
warned the politicians that the
voters were becoming more Sc
lective in their choice Of candi-
dates and issues.

the names. Iney were picked
up by two fishing vessels while
q third fought for two hours to
put the fire out.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chalk, Mrs.
Chalk's sister and brother in
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Murray
Greenberg Of New York, and
the two Chalk dogs rescued
from the ship were all recover

The ship caught fire about
four miles of the coast at

Phipps. Of Chalk Point, Nd,
and his crewman, John j.
Royal. Of 35 K street NV,
headed the ship inland but the
heat and smoke forced all six
persons to jump overheard
when the ship was still three
miles out.
TOws In Boat
Capt. Clarence Starn Of At
lantic City towed the wrecked
65-foot luxury craft into his
boatyard Saturday night. He
wired Mr. Chalk:
Il have your yacht under my
command at Atlantic City and
am holding it for full salvage
rights"
Mr.. Chalk said he understood
the law Of the sea gave possess
sion Of a ship abandoned more
than 3 miles offshore to who
ever salvages it. Its a fair
prize for the salvagers. / guess, -
he said.
But the vessel itself is a to-

ened all-steel hull.
Inside however, the salyagers

The
Rambler
Fringe Parker
Worries q Little
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

It sometimes occurs to the
Rambler that he isn't writ
ing about important things
such as urban blight and the
parking problem.
He Is trying to do his best
about the problem. Every
morning he and Mrs. Ram
bier, who is employed by the
Government, drive from their
Alexandria split-level to the
fringe parking lot on Column
bia Island. &
The island is on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac
between the Fourteenth
street and Memorial bridges.
1t is traversed by the George
Washington Memorial park
way and the parking lot is
across from the sculptory of
gulls in flight. 1t backs into
q canal and the Pentagon
Lagoon.
It's an easy matter to
reach it, for while the trafne
is heavy on the parkway, it
doesn't get jammed up the
way 1t does on the Shirley
highway and Arlington bou-
levard.
There is always plenty Of
room to park and the park
ing Is free. There is a shell
ter with glass walls and q
telephone, Most people wait
In their cars until the bus
turns into the circle in front
Of the shelter.
There is an attendant,
Marshall, who protects the
parked cars from vandalism.
Marshall sees to it that the
doors of the cars are locked.
That left one woman who
had her ignition key but not
the key to the doors in a
difficult situation the other
evening.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-08-26

FURTHERMORE, he had
an uncomfortable feeling
that perhaps the few who
enjoy this convenience are
doing so at taxpayers ex-
penSe.
So he called the District
government and was referred
to Lewis r. Watson, jr., ex-
ecutive secretary of the Mo-
tor Vehicle Parking Agency.
Mr.. Watson was quick to dis
pei that idea. Not one cent
Of taxpayers money goes into
the fringe parking lots. They
are paid for by the nickels
motorists drop into the park
ing meters.
The agency is a prosperous
one. Annual income is $780,
900 a year. They don't spend
all this; have SIS million in
the bank.
The Columbia Island lot is
one Of three. The others are
the one at the Carter Barron
Amphitheater in Rock Creek
Park of Sixteenth street and
the one on South Capitol
street.
The agency is going to
open a fourth free lot on
Pennsylvania avenue Sc.
near Barney circle and a pay
lot under the Southwest
freeway when that long,
planned artery is con-
structed.
The fringe lots are not
fully utilized, Mr.. Watson
said, because there still is
so much free parking space
within walking distance of
the places of employment.
