The Cambridge City Council dropped its attempt to crack down on student car-owners from out of state and postponed debate on a proposal aimed against M.I.T., at a busy meeting yesterday.
Although he had voted for the proposal in committee, Councilor Al Vellucci dismissed Joseph A. DeGuglielmo's drive against cars not registered in Massachusetts as "impractical." Vellucci said he would make no further proposals on parking until he read Harvard's new report on the subject.
The councilors took up the proposed sale of a National Guard armory on Massachusetts Avenue and 50,000 square feet of land surrounding it to M.I.T. Vellucci moved that M.I.T. should be prevented from buying the property. "Let us get more industry into the city," Vellucci argued,
Councilor Edward M. Crane '38 called Vellucci's motion "unconstitutional" and said it impaired the right of contract. DeGuglielmo then invoked his "charter-right," which permits any councilor to postpone discussion of a question until the next meeting.
