i Barr Says Keeney Parking Plan Would Lead to Financial Chaos Medford should "thank its lucky stars" the municipal off-street parking proposal failed at the polls last Dec. 10, according to .William G. Barr, executive director of the National Parking association. Barr said yesterday the "Keeney Plan" for a 400-car parking platform straddling the Southern Pacific railroad tracks is "foolhardy" and would lead to "financial chaos." The Keeney Plan itself de veloped by Robert Keeney, a local architect, was not at issue in the election. But it was considered a likely pro gram if voters had approved : the enabling legislation on the ballot. Barr told an estimated 75 people at a special Jackson county Chamber of Commerce luncheon that there are not enough businesses within a block and a half of the Keeney parking platform's proposed location, on the tracks between Main and Sixth sts. to support it. Too Many Spaces "Its fault is there 'would be too many car spaces in one location," he said. "You ought to thank your lucky stars that referendum did not pass. "A municipal parking pro gram honestly reflects," Barr said, "the honest belief of all of us that we can find a pan . acea to our parking prob lems." . But he noted among its drawbacks the city's obliga tion under such a program to pledge a portion of its on- street parking meter receipts to help pay off the necessary bond issue. He said there will come a time when a city wants to take away the meters and ' prohibit parking on down town streets to ease mount ing congestion. He pointed out this would be impossible if the meter receipts have been pledged. Labor Costs " The labor cost of operating . a self-parking lot, Barr said, would be about $100 a month. ' He recommended hiring elder ly persons on social security as lot attendants, since they can earn up to that amount without endangering their government benefits. He explained that these downtown lots should be pri marily for the benefit of short-term parkers, especially t those who are .shopping or making other business trips. ' He said the rate structure would determine whether short-or long-term parkers use the lots. He recommended 10 cents per half hour to encourage short-term use. . Barr also discussed the ."park and shop" system, an arrangement between lot pro , prietors and merchants where . by shoppers can obtain free parking by purchasing mer chandise in par ticipating stores. . Receives Ticket He explained that the mo I . . , Precision, perhaps more than any one factor, has placed . Cadillac above and beyond other motor cars.

Cadillac i torist receives a ticket upon entering the lot, to which a stamp is affixed in every member store where he or she visits or makes a minimum purchase. Each stamp entitles the person to an hour's free parking. The merchants under this system buy the stamps from the lot owners, generally through a bank, to distribute to their customers. "In no city," Barr asserted, has the cost to the merchants "ever exceeded one-tenth of one per cent of gross sales." Asked what portion of those using the lot take advantage of the free parking, he re plied that 54 per cent of the gross business of his own lots in Illinois comes from this use. Proper Space Use Barr told the. group they should not consider additional parking, .however, until they "make proper use" of the present , on - street parking meter spaces. He said that meter feeding, prohibited by city ordinance, must be discouraged by the "religious, everyday, hour by hour use of chalk on the tire" to determine who are violat ing the ' law by occupying meter spaces more than their allotted time. He suggested, hiring "a couple of housewives" rather than 'requiring city ' police to K h rushc h e v E me rg es As Undisputed Head By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press International Moscow - (UPD - Western ob servers said today that Pre mier - Nikita S. Khrushchev emerged from the 21st Com munist Party congress as Russia's undisputed leader with complete approval for his policy of economic chal lenge to the West. The congress fully endorsed his seven-year-plan for eco nomic development of the Soviet Union. Every one of the speeches at the nine-day meeting gave him absolute ap proval, praising his wisdom, initiative and boldness. ' There was not a hint of criticism- in; any of the speeches of his foreign and domestic policies. All indica tions were the Communist Party Central Committee now would meet to place its stamp of approval on the Khrush chev program, and draw de crees to carry out resolutions passed by the congress. Predict Party Expulsion Western observers here pre dicted the Central Committee also would show its confi dence ' in Khrushchev by ex pelling the three members of the anti-party group still in its ranks - former Premier Nikolai - Bulganin. Mikhail Pervukhin and Maxim Sa- burov - and elect new mem bers. The forgotten man of the perform this function. "Give them uniforms and a chalk on a stick," he said. Barr stated that 40 per cent of those using parking meter spaces are meter feeders. In Fringe Areas ' He told downtown business men they would have to park in . "fringe" areas several blocks away to make room for their customers. ;. He also recommended adop tion of the "tandem , pair" method of parking,, in which two car spaces are placed close together with an eight foot maneuvering space be tween each pair. This, he said, cuts down the time necessary to enter and leave the curb spaces. This method is already in use on certain . downtown streets here, except that the maneuvering spaces have not been designated - as Barr recommends - with a large X painted on the pavement. Barr gave attention in his talk as well to methods of promoting off-street parking lots and the "park and shop" system. He suggested that the city erect signs directing traf fic to the lots. - After the luncheon, he met briefly with city officials, in cluding Mayor John W. Snider. Later in the afternoon he departed for Klamath Falls where he was to make another appearance. , 21st congress was Josef Stalin. There was hardly a reference to the man who enjoyed' ab solute rule of Soviet Commu nism for three decades and no further discussion of the Stalin personality cult exposed at the last congress in 1956. The praise of the hew 'pre mier and Communist Party secretary was accompanied by mass acceptance of his thesis that to accomplish all its goals Russia must be friendly and flexible on the outside and tough and consistent on the inside. Invites Ike Nowhere was this more evi dent than in Khrushchev's closing speech, in which he invited President Eisenhower to come to Russia while at the same time condemning Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for ."bellicose phraseology" to prevent an end to the cold war. Khrushchev took special pains to tell the world that Russia was tired of the cold war and wanted a "thaw." But not once did he suggest a change in the Soviet position on Berlin, Germany, and the Far and Middle East.
