Final Leases Signed
For Negro U50 Club
Adjoining Ball Park

A Negro USO club, long sought
by Federal and USO officials, was
secured this week with the signing
of final leases for large two-story
building of Goodwill Industries at
POLL Georgia avenue NV, adjoin-
ing Griffith Stadium, Miss Mable
r. Cook, national USO representa-
tive for this area. announced today.
Soon to undergo renovations by
USO building directors, the prop
erty has been made available for
the thousands of Negro servicemen
and war workers here through its
purchase by Mrs. Henry Alvah
Strong, benefactor for many years
of both the, local YWCA and George
Washington University.
Joint "Y" Operation.
The new USO club will be op-
Grated jointly by the YMCA and the
YWCA, both of which institutions
have been providing USO lounges
and recreational facilities for the
past two years at their Negro
branches. Miss Cook said that larger
quarters requested by the directors
of the present USO lounges and
approved by local and national USO
executives months ago proved diff
cult to find.
The recreational problems of
thousands of young Negroes en-
gagged here in the war effort are
solved through the gift, Miss Cook
said. The new club is near the
Banneker Service Center for Negro
servicemen at $500 Georgia avenue
NV, the Hearthstone Club at 1908
Eleventh street NV, for Negro war
workers, both operated under the
War Hospitality Committee; How
ard University and the Negro US.
Miss Cook emphasized that the
plan of USO workers is to intergrate
their programs at the new center
with those Of the War Hospitality
Committee and college facilities, in
order to provide lodging and SWIM
ming accommodations at the Ban
neker Center, joint recreational ac-
tivities with the Hearthstone guests
and cultural opportunities with the
faculty and students of Howard.

The club will have quarters for
dancing, games and snack bar and
