The discussion was promoted by a letter from Lyman Bee-man vice president of Finch, Pruyn and deploring the long-time downtown parking problem and urging its prompt solution. He suggested that as more parking lots are acquired downtown, the equally sticky problem of traffic congestion might well be solved by elimination of parking along Glen, Warren, Elm and Maple Sts. The Board took no action on the letter but agreed that some methods must be found to solve both the parking and congestion problems soon, especially in light of the several Urban renewal projects, the many new businesses and enterprises slated for the downtown.

"All they can do is slow it down." Garrison obtained a court order for a subpoena asking Helms td produce a "true photograph" of Oswald and a burly Cuban which Garrison says was taken by CIA agents in front of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City in November 1963, shortly before the assassination. Oswald was identified by the Warren Commission as the lone assassin of Kennedy. Garrison' claims his investigation will prove the assassination resulted from a New Orleans-based con- spiracy. Says Suppressed The photograph Garrison wants is one he contends was suppressed when the Warren Commission requested a picture of Oswald and his Cuban companion.
