Park Lot Under
Kennedy Plaza
Said Certain
DALLAS—Officials said today
an underground parking lot
definitely will be constructed
under the planned Kennedy
Memorial Plaza.
Dallas County Judge Lew Ster-
rett said the parking garage and
the long-planned memorial will
be built simultaneously.
Plans for the joint project are
being made by Dallas Architect
Jack Corgan, who will design
the parking garage, and Phillip
Johnson of New York City, de-
signer of the memorial.
Said Sterrett:
“If everything moves out, I
believe that by building them
simultaneously it will take be-
tween eight and twelve months
to complete the project.”
The memorial will be on a city
block some distance from where
President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated November 22nd,
1963.
To date, nothing distinguish-
es the sloping hill near the street
where he was shot. The City of
Dallas has authorized an histori-
cal marker quoting the Warren
Commission on how he was shot
by Lee Harvey Oswald. The
marker is under construction
and will be placed in a city park
near the scene.

Easements of
Scenic Nature Are
Sought, LBJ Area
AUSTIN. (AP).—The T e x a s
Highway Department has an-
nounced plans to buy scenic
easements that will prevent
building of commercial signs
and buildings on the strip o f
land between Ranch Road 1 and
the Pedernales River near the
ranch of President Johnson.
District Engineer Tom Wood
said the easements will not give
the department title to any land,
but will allow it to control com-
mercial development.
Part of the land in the four-
mile strip is owned by the
President, Wood said he h o p-
ed the Johnson’s donate it. He
said they will be approached
just like everybody else.
Ranch Road 1 follows the
course of the Pedernales—with
the distance between the river
and the road ranging up to 200
yards.
Wood estimates the easements
will cost the state $22,000. He
said some signs have already
been put up—but that it hasn’t,
“become a really big problem.”
