On parking, Mr.. Lewis main
tanned that coming was a posi-
tive approach to requiring new
buildings Ito contribute to the
parking demands they create.
Willing To Cut Space
He was willing though tc
halve his parking allotments
of one space for each eight
apartment units to one space
for each four units. He said
his studies indicated a great
lack of off-street parking
spaces for most new apartment
houses. But low ownership
of cars by apartment jewellers
compared to suburbanites con-
vinced Mr.. Lewis that people
with cars have gone to the
suburbs rather than put UP
with the street and curb park
ing congestion in the Washing
ton apartment areas" he said
He recognized city officials
were under pressure to relax
parking requirements he has
urged for residential areas gen.
orally. Il see no need OF
changing my proposals here, Z"
he said. He had no objection
to strengthening his own pro-
poSal for one space to every lC
boarding house jewellers to one
space for every four, as urged
by the District Zoning Advis-
DRY Committee.
A provision for one parking
space for each 10 persons at
tending churches would be bet
ter than deleting any church
parking requirement, Mr.. Lewis
said, but he still preferred his
own requirement of one space
for each four seats. This would
apply only to new. not existing
churches.
New Type Of Control
A brand-new type of con.
troll on the number of persons
and all types Of commercial
and industrial buildings was
stoutly defended by Mr.. Lewis
This control limits floor space
by the size of lots. Downtown
for example. no new Office
building or store could provide
more than seven times the
square feet Of the lot on which
it is built, according to Mr.
Lewis proposal.

Trouble Feared
In Johnny Dio
Racket Probe

Continued from First Page
York city probe and that Hoffa
himself may be called as one
of the more than 100 witnesses
to be summoned.
Hoffa was found innocent
Friday of charges that he had
brihed a New York lawyer-in-
vestigator. John eye Cheasty
to get q job with the commit
tee staff and turn secrets from
its files over to Hoffa.
Dio. also known as John
Gioguardi, has been charged
with masterminding the plot to
blind labor columnist Victor
Riesel with acid. He was in
dicted on charges Of conspiring
to obstruct justice in that con-
nection.
Dio currently is on trial in
New York on charges Of taking
brides from two business firms
to insure labor peace. His trial
in the RieSel case was indefin-
itely postponed when two key
witnesses against him refused
to testify.
Senator Mcclellan anticipated
similar trouble with witnesses
in the Senate hearing, saying
in his formal announcement,
Because of the kind and
type Of people who for the most
part will be called as witnesses
we anticipate that there will
be obstruction tactics used
against the committee"

Describing the New York
probe as lone Of the most i'm
portant sets of hearings that
we have held or will hold
Senator Mcclellan said in his
statement:
Il expect it will be developed
that hoodlums and racketeers
assume positions Of Importance
only because of the aid and as
sistance given them by certain
high labor union officials not
only at the local but at the ma
tional level"
He said the New York City
situation appears to be part
of a pattern. a Nationwide
rather than just a local prob

Johnny Dio until recently
was district head Of the Allied
Industrial Workers Union in
New York. He now operates
the Equitable Research AsSoci-
alton, a labor MANAGEMENT
consulting firm. He served a
three-year term in the late
1930s for extortion and assault
in an alleged shakedown of
truck operators. He also was
