HUBERT HAS PLAN
TO HONOR HARDING
Al.
New York Acting Mayor
Would improve East Po-
5-v tomac Park at Once.

President Coolidge yesterday received
q letter from Acting Mayor Hubert
OF New York, in which he suggested
the improvement of East Potomac
Park, that it may be dedicated as a
memorial to the late President Hard
ing. which suggestion is taken not
only as a fitting tribute to the late
President, but as possible stimulus
IaclHtleS and outdoor activities in
Potomac Park.
Although President Coolidge made
no comment on the idea advanced by
Mr.. Hubert, Lieut.. Col. Clarence o.
Sheriff.. officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds is enthusiastic
over the proposal. He is convinced
that the plan, if put into effect, could
not help but improve the athletic
1acllltleS in the park as well as draw
more people to that section.
he said he had not been informed
OF any official movement to deLiica te
tne t park to Mr.. Harding, but. aside
from that, he was sure that anything
which would assist his office i'm COM
pleting the plans for the future inn
proVement of that park territory
wGutd be most acceptable.
In his letter To President Coolidge
Acting Ma jOr Hubert declared tha
inasmuch is President Harding fire.
quenuy visited the park and played
golf on its greens, il would be par
1cularly opportune at this time to
expedite the completion OF the prof.
ect 10 give notice TO the world that
the Crited States had officially recog-
nized general participate in anna
teur athletics. in which respect we
are far behind other nations" and
to add field to those already being
used to prepare American athletes
Tor the Olympiad' in Paris next June.
Mr. HuIbert's Letter.
Mr.. Hulbert's letter follows in full:
Dear Mr.. President:
I far hot
more fitting memorial to the late
President Harding could be dedicated
than the early completion of the
PROJECT to improve East Potomac
Park as a public recreation field
President Harding. himself an enthu-
siastic advocate of all movements
conducting to the welfare of our fu-
ture citizens, was personally inter-
ested in this great national play
pround.
During my incumbency as a rep
resentative in Congress from the
twenty-first congressional district of
New York | introduced, on April 81,
1916, III. r. 14905) a bill to appro-
pirate S1,545.391 for the improvement
OF THIS park in accordance with the
comprehensive plans prepared by Gen.
w. w. Harts and approved by the
Secretary of War.
After public hearing before the
committee on appropriat. .ons. favor
able acuon was taken by Congress
on the project and an initial appro-
priation ln the sum Of $4,000 having
been made on July /. 1916, toward

pletion of this project. Not only
would it give notice to the world
that the United States has officially
recognized general participation in
amateur athletics, in which respect
we are far behind other nations, but
it would also be of incalculable value
in stimulating the preparation of an
American team to participate in the
eighth Olympiad, to be held in Paris
next July.
II am sure that favorable action by
Congress at the session to begin this
December will! receive nationwide in
dorsement and be especially appre-
ciated by the American Olympic COM
mittee. of which you are honorary
president.
