Part-Time Operation v" ' ,
-Is Om BsggestkHi T&t"JkSi
One such suggestion was that
the meters operate only in the af
ternoon, thus encouraging fore
noon shopping when there is no
scarcity of parking spaces. Anoth
er proposal was that within each
block i there be some parking
spaces with meters and some with
out. Still another was "penny and
' nickel" parking meters, a penny
payment calling for shorter-period
parking. One writer said this
. system worked well in Pocatello,
Idaho. -
: Others favored methods of im
proving the parking situation
without the' use of meters, by re
storing 45-degree parking lines
and . eliminating parallel parking
on High street.
Some of the "no" votes were
emphasised by notations that the
voter j"would shop elsewhere if
the meters went in" or "wouldn't
shop la any store that permitted
meters out in front."

an alleged plot to overthrow th

Coughlin, John Frey of the AFL,

Legion and "leaders of large
groups on our side of the fence"
to discuss the "threat" ot a com

never had been caUed.)
That Dudley Plerpont Gilbert,
socially prominent New Torker,
had testified he feared "a revolu

why I'm working like hell on a

Story Develops From
Anti-Semitic Probe
That It was at the Harmony
club in New York that a waiter
was alleged, in testimony given te
the committee, to have overhear
from time to time details of sv
plot to overthrow the government
i The committee developed the
story in following up what lt con
sidered evidence of widespread
anti-eemitlc propaganda.
This ; was spread, committee
members said, by sending to a
carefully-selected list, of person
the Information alleged to hav
been overheard by the waiter.
. James Erwin Campbell ol
Owensboro, Ky who testified to
disseminating this information,
said the waiter turned it over t
Gilbert who in turn relayed It te
Campbell.
Tied into this story was an ac
count of a "counter-revolutionary
movement. I
From 'the record oi testimony
taken in secret sessions, the com
mittee released a purported letter
from Deatherage to i Campbell
which referred to an nn-named
