Urges Hall Of Fame
Be Added 10 Stadium

Two proposals for the memorial
stadium that Washington hopes tc
build as a postwar project were
filed yesterday with the House Dis
trict Committee. One calls for the
use of the Mall for the development
and the other for inclusion of an
auditorium with a Sports Hall OF
Fame"
Both ideas were accompanied by
sketches and the documents were
referred to the Recreation Subcom-
mittee, headed by Representative
Harris. Democrat, of Arkansas. He
plans to resume hearings when he
has received reports on pending bills
from the District Commissioners
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Earlier action may be taken in
the Senate since the joint resolu-
ton of Chairman Bilbo of the Sen
ate District Committee, to create a
commission of nine members to de-
velop plans for a self -liquidating
project, now is on the Senate cal
endar.
The plan for an auditorium was
submitted by John da Grosa, foot
ball coach of Holy Cross College and
an assistant to John B. Kelly, head
of the Committee on Physical Fit
ness of the Federal Security Agency
He suggested the auditorium be
designed so that it could be used
for opera and orchestra programs as
well as for basket ball, indoor ten
mis- and other indoor events. Under
the plan, the building would include
rented office space for athletic and
other organizations. in addition to
a rotunda for statues of famous
sports personages.
The suggestion that the stadium
be located on the south side of
Constitution avenue, either between
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets or on
the site of the Munitions Navy
building, West of Seventeenth
street, came from Maj. Ray c.
Thompson, of the War Department

sized that he was speaking only for
himself.

the plan to place the stadium at
