OFFERS THREE
SUGGESTIONS
BY GINO SINH

Ken Parkinson is no longer a
District boxing commissioner but
his progressive ideas march on.
One Of the pet dreams Of the
former commissioner was q Dis
trict athletic commission to con-
troll a variety of sports throughout
the city in accordance with Dis
trict Commissioner direction.
Under this plan minor sports would
be fostered and promoted with
funds gathered from major sports.
SUGGESTIONS SUBMITTED
Three recommendations to put
this idea in practice have been
submitted by the boxing daddies
to the District of Columbia Com
miSsioners. They are:
/. To change the name Of
the d. C. Boxing Commission
to d. C. Athletic Commission.
2. To give this commission
the power to regulate, control
and supervise such other sports
besides boxing and wrestling IS
are designated by the District
Commissioners.
3. To permit the showing Of
fight films in D. c..
Only Massachusetts, has q COM
mission which limits it's duties
strictly to governing boxing. The
Virginia State Commission con-
trolls both boxing and wrestling
while all other State commissions
supervise such other sports as
State officials and fans desire.
NO LOCAL BAN
There is no local law against
the showing Of moving pictures
of prize fights but q Federal law
prohibits the transportation OF
fight films across State bounda-
ries. The N. B. A. has been con-
Quoting q campaign for years to
have this law revoked and
the local commission is throw
ing its weight behind this move
ment.
The District Commissioners
will submit these recommenda-
tions to the District Senate and
House committees at the earliest
possible moment. maybe ton1or'
row. f
