BY THE WAY Mall Parking Plan Urged Underground Space Seen as Answer to Long-Range Needs BY RAY HEBERT Times Urban TUns Editor Development of the Civic Center Mall and a four-block garage under it was recommended Tuesday as a major step toward meeting the center's long-range parking needs.

At the same time, L. S. Hollinger, the county's chief administrative officer, urged the establishment of a membcr inter-governmental commission to plan and develop parking that will serve the entire 228-acre Civic Center. These recommendations were contained in an 18-page report submitted by Hollinger to the Board of Supervisors following an exhaustive study of parking needs and future require ments in the Civic Center complex. Foresees Availability Contrary to some earlier estimates, Hollinger said he foresees the availability of 6,976 on-street, surface andi underground parking spaces: by December, 1965.

But, he said, the demand Dy Dor.n civic.uenier vishuis and employees will amount to only 6,206, leaving a surplus of 770, Hollinger compared this to an existing surplus of 387 spaces based on a June figure of 5,261 available spaces measured against a requirement of only 4,874. In citing these figureshe recalled the cautionary reminder of the Civic Center Parking Committee, a citizens advisory group. In May, the committee told the.board that the Civic Center parking problem was "not at a panic stage and does not indicate the initiation of a crash building program." Agrees With Plan Hollinger said he agreed with both the parking committee and the master parking plan submitted earlier this year by Charles Luck-man Associates that the mall site extending from City Hall west to Grand Ave. should Panorama City Store Opened by Robinson's Company Chairman Tells of Continuing Expansion Program at Ribbon-Cutting A. new multi-million dollar department store was Information for About Everyone estimated general property tax rate of $2.0592 per $100 assessed valuation.

He has now learned that there were a couple of preliminary steps. First he had to educate himself on the activities of his far-flung agency and then he had to educate the states-' men on Capitol Hill regarding same. This, he found, isn't easy. First he had to tackle a House committee headed by the redoubtable Congressman Rooney who Invariably scents superfluous fripperies in the demands of such agencies as the USIA and the State Department.

Brown as the party's standard bearer and run Assemblyman Jesse Unruh for governor in 1962.

Christopher, however, scrupulously shunned any suggestion that he definitely will seek the' Republican nomination for governor next, year, Instead, he insisted, he'll the nomination only if former Vice President Nixon decides not to run. Acknowledged Leader "Not under any circum-1 stances," he told a news conference" in the Biltmore, would he run against Nixon. "Nixon is the acknowledged titular head of the Republi can Party in California and the nation," he declared. The San Francisco mayor said he will make up his mind about seeking the GOP nomination in December, when he anticipates Nixon will also make known hi3 intentions. As for Brown, Christopher lambasted the governor's leadership as weak and inde- certainly more "forcible" than the governor and has more definite convictions.

He added, however, that he could not vouch for Unruh's administrative talents. Respectful Request Nevertheless, he said, "I respectfully suggest Unruh as a candidate for the Demo crats."

1 gadfly. The idea was to get the Senators to restore the millions slashed by the House. That wasn't easy either. The Senator Is Inquisitive Senator Ellender is, you might say, notorious among the Washington bureaucrats. He is a bustling individual who takes himself and his job, and particularly the South, very seriously.

He js forever travelling around the world and popping into our overseas agencies and asking nasty questions such as "What are you supposed to be doing?" And "How-much are you paid?" And then coming home and making speeches referring to our representatives abroad as "misfits." He is inclined to ask a question about, say, Ghana and then break In with a speech starting "Now when I was in Ghana" and making such remarks as "The British are running Ghana," which would horrify that country's "Abraham Lincoln," Mr. Kwame Nkrumah, who Is under the impression that he is running it; or "Ghana Is full of Indians, and they're British subjects," wliich would horrify India's Pandit Nehru, who thinks that India is free. Wants Others to Be Sharing Senator Ellender thinks the British ought to be bearing more of the cost of the fight against Communism. He's afraid that the USIA is distributing American magazines which are carrying nasty remarks about the way the South is not desegregating. He thinks the USIA is "subsidizing" magazines and newspapers and movie makers.

Murrow replied that the only case where the USIA "subsidizes" movie makers is in coun-tries which have no financial convertibility and where no films would be shown unless the USIA accepted the local currency and gave the filmmen the equivalent in U.S. currency. This led to Senator McClellan's comment that he sees a lot of pictures in this country "that ought not to be shown here, much less abroad." It Looks Like a Lengthy Quizzing Murrow, who would like very much to be able to spend less time testifying and more time finding out about the activities of his organization and improving them, has hopes of departing before long on a tour which will give him a first-hand idea of what his organization is doing. However, at the rate the committee has started to go over his budget, it may be some time before he gets going. After a lot of more or less general questioning, they started to take up his budget Item by Item, beginning with A for Africa, and it looked as though it might be quite some time before they exhausted the alphabet or the patience of the staff of USIA employees who were on hand to answer the questions.
