Cities Plan Garages To Relieve Parking CHICAGO (UP) Although the number of automobiles in the na tion still is low, municipalities throughout the country are tak ing steps to alleviate jammed busi ness district parking spaces, ac cording to the International City Managers Assn. At Detroit voters polled four-to-one in favor of the construction of an underground garage in the downtown area. The garage will be designed to accomodate be tween i00 and 1,000 automobiles and will cost an estimated $1,816, 000 to be met by bonds which wilt be paid off by parking fees in 18 years, the association reported. A large area in the business dis trict of Rochester, Minn., r?cent!y was purchased for $124,000 to be redeveloped into a parking lot, and in Glendale, Cal., recommenda tions have been made for instal lation of parking meters to de fray costs of acquiring off-street parking lots. The St. Louis, Mo., board c:f estimates has approved tentative plans to construct two 1,000-car garages in the downtown district on land acquired by the city. Mer chants would defray the cost cf constructing the garages, estimat ed at $1,000,000 each, under pres ent proposals. The Blackwood brothers quar tet from K. M. A. presented a concert at the U. P.

Ap plication of radar to Great Lakes shiopinr is "like comine out of a dark, dark riiht into the blight noes of noon." aeordintr to A. A. Yr irks, Canadian government radio electrician. Wicks recentlv returned from a five months' test of radnr on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence river aboard the Canadian hin Granville, a lighthouse tender. Tests proved that a ship captain needs never to look out of his wheelhouse if he has radar aboaid. Ends Storm Delays "No more creeping alonj in the dark, in rain storms or blizzard.-," Cart. Murray Barry of the Gran ville said, in corroboration Wicks' enthusiastic description of the electronic "eve" which safeguard ed Allied shipping during' th war and warned armies and navies of air attacks. ''We can see the shore and everything on the water for 34 miles just as if we were in an a:r craft looking down on thj scene," according to Barry. The set used on the Grcnville had a pointer on the radar screen which showed the direction off the ship while a sweeping beam around the screen revealed dis tances from the ship to all ob jectives at all points to the com pn is. Picked Up Lo Maximum range of the set on the Grenville was 34 miles. The set can be manipulated to show enlarged images of objects up to C.O00 yards and smaller pictures up to 30,000 yards .
