Trade Board Stalls
Public Parking Plan
Attitude Seen
Killing Hopes
In Congress
BY CHARLES D. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Proposed legislation provid-
ing for a District Public Park
ing Authority to build and
operate or lease parking facili-
ties appears to be stalled.
The Metropolitan Washing
ton Board of Trade has advised
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick ]. Clarke that IT believes
that there are other and better
solutions to the parking
problem.
Gen. Clarke said that in view
of the boards position 1T
seems unlikely" that the park
ing authority legislation would
win approval in Congress.
The Board of Trade was one

town Progress.
c. Yates Cook, Federal City
Council executive director, said
that it is his personal opinion
that Washington must have a
public parking authority If it
hopes to solve its parking
problems.
Downtown Progress, a cor
poration composed Of business
men working for rehabilitation
of the city's central core, said
that it believes Downtown re-
vitalization should be accom-
plished, in so far as feasible,
through private initiative.
However, to achieve the
necessary parking for this re-
vitalization some public action
may be needed for the acqui-
sition of sites or for the con-
struction Of garages for opera
ton by private enterprise"
Spurred by Traffic Board
The Federal City Councils
official position on the pro-
posed legislation has not yet
been disclosed.
The legislation providing for
q parking authority was sub
mitted by the District Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency after
the idea for such q measure
had been vigorously pushed by
the Citizens Traffic Board.
Charles E. Phillips, Board Of
Trade president, said in his
letter to Gen. Clarke that the
board believes coming changes
could be made to encourage
provision Of more parking
spaces in new private buildings.
He added that this step,
coupled with the provision of
more parking spaces in new
Government buildings, will af-
ford a better solution to the
parking problem than would
the creation or q parking au-
thority."
Needs Are Stressed
Harold Nussbaum, vice chair
man of the Citizens Traffic
Board, asked for comment on
the development. said he did
not think the Board of Trade
recommendations were prac-
tical.
Mr.. Nussbaum commented
that provision Of parking in
new office buildings will not
take care Of the vast number
Of employees who would work
there.
The cost Of land downtown
Is so high that private owners
cannot afford to use it for
parking any longer. he added.

Aid 10 Schools

Fingerprinting
Montgomery Plan
Muy Be Illegal,
PuIIen Worms
BY JAMES b. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

Warned that their new fin
gerprint plan might cost the
county all State school aid.
members of the Montgomery
County School Board last Eight
agreed to consult with the
Maryland attorney general on
its legality.
Consent came after State
School Supt. Thomas @. Pullen,
jr., told the board he had reason
to believe the newly approved
procedure of having police
check teacher fingerprints may
be illegal. If so. he said, he as q
State official could not approve
State funds for O board acting
outside the law.
School board members learned
of the consequences in .
closed meeting with DR.. Pullen
shortly after he also said Mont
gomery probably would lose
$743, 500 in State Junior college
construction funds II It sold
the campus in Takoma Park.
The new school board ma
jority, in q 4-to-3 vote last
week. transferred fingerprint
processing from the boards
personnel office to the county
police.
"You are acting illegally If
you don't get q legal opinion
on this" DR.. Pullen told the
board.
DR.. Pullen afterwards said
he would set up q joint meet
ing within the next 10 days
for himself, q member of
the attorney generals office,
Charles w. Prettyman, school
board attorney, and Charles w.
Bell. a majority member and
board president.
The groundwork for switch
ing fingerprint procedures win
not be completed for about 10
days, according to DR.. c. Tay-
Tor Whittier, county school
superintendent.
Mr.. Bell, an attorney, said
he had talked about the mat
ter individually with Mr..
Prettyman before last weeks
vote and found no legal road
blocks.
DR.. Pullen. however, said
that after consulting briefly
with the attorney generals
office. he had serious doubts
II the school board could legal
" alter the terms Of contracts
(change fingerprint proce-
dnres) once they had been
signed by employees.
Also, he said there Is o ques-
ton whether Q third party (po-
hcel could be given the oppor-
tunity to interpose itself be-
tween the school board and
DR.. Whittier IN the hiring Of
personnel.
"It's not that the police
would do this, but it's q matter
Of giving them the opportu-
nity," DR.. Pullen said.
Mr.. Bell said that the mere
thought that police would tryI
to interpose in teacher hiring /
was "a Islander on an excellent
department and I think 1t de-
serves an apology"
At the two-hour open meet
ing. ct which the junior col
lege was discussed. DR.. PuIlen
explained that he and other
State officials had approved
grants Of $175.000 for the
Junior college campus in Ia
koma Park and $568. 900 for the
yet undeveloped Rockville cam
pus. ANY change In plans for
Takoma Park would jeopardize
the entire grant. he said.
A special committee Of sew
eral board members, in a split
vote. last month recommended

were put over the old.
The full Appropriations Com
mittee approved a $140, 038, 919
bill today. This was $8.5 mil
lion less than requested but 500
million more than was pro-
vided for corresponding pur-
poses during the current fiscal
year which ends June 80.
Before final enactment the
bills total will be increased by
various Senate requirements.
Completion Funds
More than half Of the 500
million increase resulted from
additional funds to complete
the Rayburn Office Building
project including construction
Of two nearby underground ga
RACES. The committee approved
the entire $40 million request
ed for that work. $11.5 million
more than the current fiscal
year.
The committee noted that
this additional $40 million
would bring to STA million the
cost Of the third House office
building and associated prof.
ects. 1t estimated that the fl
nal total will be about $11S
million. The present estimated
cost Of the building is $80,350,-
900, including about 50 million
for furniture and furnishings.
Included in the $40 million
was $4.6 million for starting
work on two underground ga
RACES south Of the building. The
committee said the two ga
RACES would provide 1920 car
spaces along with 1000 in base
ment garages Of the Rayburn
Building.
Parking Relief Desired
The visiting public now finds
1t virtually impossible to park
near the Capitol the commit
tee commented" It is to be
hoped that the addition of all
this parking space will permit
some Encouragement so that at
least some Of the street parking
areas now otherwise pre-
empted can be reserved for use
of the visiting public"
The bill approved by the
committee today and scheduled
for House action next week pro-
vided no funds for work on the
west front of the Capitol. But
the committee declared that
sooner or later" the west front
will have to be strengthened
and extended as was the east
front.
Noting recent instances Of
vandalism and damage to walls,
statues and art objects in the
Capitol building, the committee
suggested that Capitol Police be
stationed at key places such
as Statuary Hall. the Rotunda
and even in the House Mem
bers' New Reception Room.

TRANSIT SHOWDOWN

1000 had been spent because very
little track had been pulled out,
The p. U. c. continued TO al
low the reserve to build up,
however. because of its original
decision that the company
would need an estimated $10.4
million.
Case TO Court
The track removal charge was
one Of several items challenged
by two transit riders, Leonard
N. Bebchick and Leonard 8.
Goodman, when the company
asked for q fare increase late
in 1859. The p. U. c. rejected
their arguments against the
track removal charges. but the
riders. both young attorneys.
took their case 10 the courts.
After a see-saw battle In the
lower courts. the two riders
reached the full nine-judge
United States Court Of Appeals
In the rare granting of q mo-
ton for rehearing Of q three
Judge panel decision against
them.
The full court, in a So de-
cision, agreed with them that
the 1860 increase was unjusti-
fled and one Of the reasons
cited was the track removal
charge.
ut simply cannot be said
that the record then showed

decisions regulators have to
make and how these decisions
have made the difference Of
millions to the investors Of d.
c. Transit and the riders.
The first issue raised by
Messrs. Bebchick and Goodman
over the track removal charges
was that the p. U. c. should
never have charged the bill to
the fare payers In the first
place. They claimed that It be-
longed to the investors because
they had been compensated for
this burden by q reduction Of
about sos million from book
value In the price they paid to
buy out Capital Transit.
Flanagan Quoted
They claimed there was q
definite relationship between
this si0.3 million discount and
the estimated $104 million
track removal bill. The Appeals
Court overruled them on this
particular point. but objected
to the track removal charge on
other grounds.
The riders. In support Of this
claim, cited sworn testimony OF
the company's vice president,
James II. Flanagan. during a
1858 rate case that the assump-
ton OF the track removal obli-
cation was part Of the consider
alton ID. c Transit paid for the
properties Of Capital Transit.
The p. U. c. rejected this say
ing that the sl0.3 million bar
gain may have had something
10 do with track removal but
that there was no evidence "as

now. Architect Stewart deals '
hire workers, sometimes union
and sometimes non-union.
This report failed to satisfy
the Senator at q hearing on
Capitol Hill construction spend
ing.
He told Mr.. Stewart to seek
Attorney General Kennedy's
advice on whether non-dis-
criminatory clauses in construc-
ton contracts were meaning
full" Copies Of all contracts will
be sent to the Justice Depart
ment, the Architect promised.
Skilled 25ss Negro
Among skilled employees hired
by the Architects office, rs per
cent are Negro, Mr.. Stewart
said. Most of the unskilled la
borers working on Capitol
grounds or buildings are Me-
groes.
Senator Monroney had q
word Of commentator for Mr..
Stewart, who said he would &C.
cept any qualified applicant for
apprentice training programs
and encourage promotions Of
workers regardless Of their
race.
But the construction contract
program is scarcely an example
to private industry, now under
pressure from the White House
to end prejudice in Job train
ing, hiring and promoting, SEN
ator Monroney indicated.
Each contract carries a nom
discrimination clause. This for
bids contractors from discri-
mating in hiring. Complaints,
II proved to the satisfaction of
the Presidents Committee on
Equal Employment Opportuni-
ties, could lead to withdrawal
Of the contract and surely
would negate chances Of such
contractors winning another
government job.
Budget Clause Suggested
But / deal with the con-
tractor" Mr.. Stewart caution

tractor to ask who he hires, he
viii close the door In my face
and say / have no business in

Senator Monroney said that
Q uniform policy" on nom
discrimination in contracting
should be written into the
Capitol budget. and perhaps
into all Federal budgets.
Senator Monroney also had
these suggestions for Mr.. Ste
wart:
Ugly clocks that tell time
would be preferable to the "es-
thetic" clocks that don't work
In the Senate Office Building.
Rats have deserted the Lii
brary Of Congress to invade
the House Of Representatives.
Keep them out of the Senate,
Senator Monroney warned.
Tourists who travel 5000
miles to see the Capitol can't
get a drink Of water on the
ground.
West Wall Discussed
The west wall Of the Capt.
toll could be mended, rather
than completely rebuilt at a
cost Of $40 million around new
offices.
The Architect warned the
west wall could fall II stones
