the women and children in any
district and his presence keeps
down petty crime.
Milton Gershin assistant city at
torney explained that it was nee
essary to have broad block support
and signed statements to make it
possible for the city attorney to
notify landlords of illegal use of
their property.
During the question and answer
period one woman parent asked
why the city curfew law was not
enforced. Alderman Greenstein
stated the police were trying to
do something about it.
One woman with a family Of
children complained that her hus-
band was solicited by prostitute
a half block away from their home.
Upon motion by Judge L. How
ard Bennett, member of the Min
neapohs School Board the Com
mtttee Recommendations were ad-
opted.
The 20 recommendations were
as follows:
ACTION BY COMMUNITY
1. Law abiding residents Of the
North Side must be willing to
organize themselves into continu-
ing group in order to eliminate
gambling, prostitution and other
illegal activities from the area.
2. City government, the Courts
and the Police Department are en-
titled to vigorous and organized
community support behind law en-
forcement activities directed at
these evils.
8. The Community and the law
abiding residents are entitled to
vigorous, consistent and sustained
law enforcement directed at elm
mating these illegal activities from
the North Side. Enforcement which
merely contains or controls the
present serious situation is not
enough.
4. Law abiding residents should
be careful not to raise or support
false charges Of racial prejudice
or discrimination from persons
charged with criminal offenses or
engaged in criminal activities.
s. The community Is entitled to
have the Police Department as well
as other government agencies
carry out their responsibilities and
functions without prejudice and
discrimination.
6. Law abiding residents must be
willing, 30 cooperate with public
officials in law enforcement and
TO appear at hearings concerned
with licensing OF places where H.
egal activities are carried on.

Senator Goldwater has made

GSAGets Approval
OnParkingGarages
Ordered to Plan
For Spaces in
Central D. c.

The Federal Government has
decided to build garages to help
ease parking pro lems in
Washington.
While the numbers and sites
Of the structures and the cost
to Government employees are
still undecided, 1t was learned
sterday that the Federal
Budget Bureau has ordered the
General Services Administra-
ton to draft legislation specifi-
cally detailing these factors.
Sites Already PinpOinted
GSA Administrator Bernard
L. Boutin has in the past pin
Ip ointed as garage sites the
Great Plaza, behind the Federal
Triangle, and an area near the
General Accounting Office at
AL G street NV.
The proposal to construct
garages in downtown Washing
ton was made to the Bureau in
a GSA recommendation last
November.
The Bureau last week ap-
proved the recommendation.
but ordered legislation drafted
that includes specific proposals.
The Bureau, 1t was learned.
also has ordered the GSA to
survey Government agencies to
determine exactly how many
parking spaces are needed, and
where.
The GSA Is also attempting
! to decide how much Govern
ment workers should be
charged for the use Of garages,
since the Bureau wants them
operated on q "business-like
basis"
The Rate Schedule
In its recommendations last
autumn, the GSA urged that
employees be charged from 50 to
SIS a month for parking on
Federal property within q Is
mile radius of the city's GEN.
ter. 1t also estimated that there
would be a $2-million annual
revenue from the fees to build
and operate above and under
ground parking garages for
$500 spaces in downtown
Washington, where the parking
situation is most serious.
| Under the GSA plan, the
garages. which would be ear
marke d for Government en-
ployes at nominal rates on
workdays, would be made
available to the public even
ings. Sundays and holidays at
rates comparable to those
charged commercially.
There are now $4,000 FEEDER
ally-owned parking spaces in
the Metropolitan Washington
Area. There are also spaces UNI
der the jurisdiction Of the Ar
chitect Of the Capitol and those
on military camps, posts and
stations.
