Truman said it is difficult to imagine the government taking such a step; Informed of Truman's' state- ment today Charles F.

McCahill, of the Cleveland News, ANPA president, said it "does not square! with what he said last week. I i At news conference last week Truman was asked, "Mr President, if you can seize the steel mills under your, inherent powers, can you, in your opinion, also seize the newspapers orand the raiio itatibns?"

As yju probably recall, the Russians withdrew their troops from Iran, in May, TRIESTE INCIDENT The Trieste account also was the subject of a White! House "clarification." Truman had said lie thought the Trieste maneuver was in 1946, but Tubby told newsmen, after a check of records that it was in the spring of 1945, when the Yugoslavs occupied Trieste for 40 days. In May 1945, he slid, the United States and the I United Kingdom told Yugoslavia to get Out, and American troops were ordered to stand by prepared to move in. And they, did get out, he added. Tubby was a press officer in the State Department before he was attached to the White House. There appeared to be reasons for reporters to infer Jthat the State Department had been dis turbed by the President's re marks.

p. THE LAST WORD To diplomats, the term "ulti matum' is the last word. It means telling someone your position in an Mor-else-we-go-to-war" fashion, Until' today, there had been no suggestion that the i United States delivered an ultimatum to Russia about the matter. Somewhat plaintively, the President said that the country is in the middle of the greatest emergency it has ever faced, yet he has been abused roundly for what he has done. He added that he is not 1 the first President to be abused, and that he knows how to take it II Cripps Cremated ZURICH, Switzerland, April 24.

The protestants asked the board to. hold a special night meeting to decide the question and this has been taken under considera tion. Present zoning regulations are that when -a business abuts a residential district 'it must ob serve, the same setback restriction as the residences.

The residents object to the setback because construction of the building will "create objection able conditions" to a high-value area; cause television interfer ence; and create traffic hazards.

W. creuner, cnairman of the chambers off-street parking committee, reminded the council of four previous chamber attempts "to stir the council to action on the matter," The letter also pointedly, reminded the council of recent attempts by the Junior Chamber, the Committee of One Hundred and One and the City Wide Off-Street Parking Committee to Obtain help "in this vexing community problem." DEMANDS ACTION -j In recounting former Chamber efforts, the letter said: it is to be assumed that the proposals; so far have not been acceptable, then we believe it is incumbent upon those officials to come up with a constructive program of their own, rather than to resist continually constructive plans placed before them.

"At this moment we are rriore concerned over the fact fiat nothinz is being done, rather than the method of solving jthe! problem. Any method in keep ing with the fret enterprise $ys- tem would receive support at the polls, we believe." The seven points in the proposed chamber program 1 That the City i Council create a five-man parking com mission or Authority. 2 That the commission or Authority be granted the powers of eminent domain. 3 That the off-street parking all business districts where there is a problem 4 That there be delineated within each bus! ness district wherein no program or facilities of the commission or Authority may be established. BONDS PROMISED 5 That the revenue pond method of financing be adopted.

,6 That the commission or Authority be restricted in fome workable manner from operating parking facilities, but ownership for leasing purposes would be permitted. 7 That metering of small lots which do not lend.themselves to profitable operation on a lease basis be permitted. The Chamber stressed that the points did not encompass 1 i detailed program but only pointed out fundamental principles to serve as a starting point. 1 According to the Chamber, more than 80 California cities have already developed addi tional off -street parking facilities. i Breuner commented "we have already waited too long.
