Washington, September IT. - (UP) - A new and startling note was introduced into football here last night by George Preston Mar shall, Americas wealthiest and pro- foundest thinking laundry man.
 Without warning MT. Marshall provided night club setting for the game between the New York Giants and his own Washington Redskins, and for nearly two hours the bruis- ing professionals belabored one another in an atmosphere very re- mindful of the Stork Club and Fl Morocco.
 Directly on the fifty-yard line MT. Marshall, a man of a million Ideas and dollars to match, had a 70 by 50 patch of mahogany wood- work, on which was seated a com bination jazz and rhumba band ot the hottest calibre. And from the opening kickoff to the final plunge these masters of the clarinet, saxo- phone and snare drum played with all the earnestness of a sophomore substitute making a try for his var sity letter.
 Wotta Man!
 During time outs and rest periods, a handsome young man who was 1n- troduced as the romantic tenor ot the air" stepped to the microphone and usip hand gestures that made YOU think of a half back grabbing for a pass just beyond his reach. rendered such fine old gridiron numbers as "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and Tt Looks Like Rain in Cherry Blossom Lane"
 Had the Griffith stadium elec- trician dimmed the flood lights a bit, an Adagio team whirled ana spun on the bandstand, 1t would \hve been SO night-clubbish that even Winchell would have felt at home
 MT. Marshall's innovation really did not come as 8 surprise to those who know him well. From one end of Broadway to the other, and on all the cross streets, he is recognized as one of the high goal night club pa irons, He is very unhappy when he is not seated within earshot ol the Rhumba guards gay hattie and the trombone's melodious toot. AS president of the Redskins he telt obliged to attend their games. So' in order to keep his night club rank inp he nut A floor show right out on the gridiron.
 Singers Equal Tackles
 If MT. Marshall's idea catches on, if might well evolutionize the char acter of the game of football. Torch singers would become as valuable to a club as 200 pound tackles, ana tap dancers with a noval routine would get as many headlines as a tr1ple threat back.
 Tine entire set-up of the game would be changed. A coach would not only have to be gridiron strategist - he would have to nave a flair for stage directing, design. inc, and lighting. Scouts would have to spend their spare time ID vaudeville houses, seeking new talent. ~ It wouldn't be long before Holly woods directors would be brought III to do the coaching. There would be backhelds directed by David w. Griffith, lines by Cecil De Mille' and ends by Albertina Rasch.
 And the music and dancing most

Red Rider Repeal Also
Awaits Final Vote;
Taxes Next Topic

Legislation of unusual interest
to the people Of the District Is
scheduled to be considered either
IN the House or by its committees
or subcommittee during the first
three days of this week.
The center Of interest today
will be the House floor, where
District day. is the order Of bust.
ness and the committee has eight
bills ready for disposition. The
most important of these is the
proposal designed to prevent
child marriages" and "gin mar.
riageS" in the District, that to
prevent operation of nuisance in
dustries' in the city, that to regu-
late the sale of real estate in the
District and the bills to regulate
barber shops and beauty parlors.
Rider Repeal Up
It also is probable the House
confereeS on the Red Rider" re-
peal bill will seek to have the
House approve the conference re-
port on that measure. The report,
approved by the Senate last week,
provides that the rider be repealed
with the stipulation that such
action will not be construed as
congressional approval of commu.
nism.
Meanwhile, the House District
subcommittee which has been
holding hearings on the Sacks bill
to establish daylight savings time
in the National Capital, will
meet this afternoon or tomorrow
to act on the measure, with the
indication that the group viii
recommend to the full committee
that the proposal be favorably
reported to the House.
Tomorrow, the special House
District subcommittee on taxes Is
to meet and review all the new
tax proposals that have been sub
mitted to it with a view to de-
termining which shall be recon-
mended to the full committee.
With the subcommittee having

House during the following week
under a special rule.
The regular meeting day of the
