Memorial Stadium Sketches
Envision Concrete Base Field
Use of Temporary Turf Is Planned;
Big Circular Stage Also Proposed

the proposed building person
would travel nearly one mile. Two
buildings about the size of the Com
merce Building could be placed side
by side In the stadium. Yet, Mr.
Cook explains, no seat in the pro-
jected two-tier arena would be as
much as 500 feet from the center
OF the field. Also, he said, each seat
would have clear sight lines" for
all events.
While there would be an overall
seating capacity of nearly 200 900,
this includes use of $4,000 portable
seats which would be placed over
night on the outer portions of the
playing field. When these were re-
moved, to make way for football,
Olympics or great pageants or pa
rades, the seating in the permanent
tiers would accommodate about
10000 spectators.
Hall of Fame Planned.
One of the wings of the structure
would be extended so as to provide
for a Hall of Fame" auditorium.
This would have a ballroom type
floor and would be available for
many types of events, from musical
and stage to civic events of many
types.
This hall would seat about 5000.
There would be provision also for
memorials to "the great" in sports,
and offices for sports organizations
Under the permanent tiers of
seats in the arena proper would be
great storerooms, dormitories for
players and workmen, dining rooms
and emergency hospital facilities.
Special attention is given in the
plans for handling the tremendous
crowds many events would be ex-
pected to attract To the south
of the stadium would be a railroad
parking area" which the designers
say would accommodate as many as
so long trains at one time.
Four Wide Entrances.
Four wide entrances to the sta
dium are planned so as to avoid
any "bottienecks" which would
cause irritating delays in getting
spectators in or out of the building.
Wide ramps and pedestrian cor
ridors are planned to separate Pc
destrian and vehicular traffic.
Freight cars could be run directly
into the proposed building to de-
liver heavy equipment.
A two-level auto parking garage
with 48 acres of space is planned
under an adjoining area reserved
as parade field ard in addition
there would be 90 acres of auto
parking space in the lower levels
of the stadium. Open air parking,
Mr.. Cook said, would provide for
about $4,000 more cars.
The plan also calls for landing
fields for small private planes and
helicopters.

To Fix DistricI
Medical Ratec
Free Services Now
Cost City Sl00, 900
Every Year

District financial and health Of
ficials will meet Wednesday to dis
cuss rates to be charged persons
financially able to pay for the city's
clinical services and medical sup
plies.
Hospital officials have estimated
the present cost to the District Of
such services and supplies at $780,
900 annually. q
Mr.. Fowler will meet this week
with DR.. Daniel l. .Seckinger, depu-
ty health officer; District Auditor
Arthur r. Pilkerton and Douglas N.
West, head Of the Hospital Permit
Bureau. The rates, when agreed
upon, will be submitted to the Com
missioners.
The provision of the new appro-
priation act reads:
That no part of any appropria!
ton for Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital or the Health Department
shall be used for furnishing other
than at rates prescribed by the
commissioners, clinical services,
drugs, pharmaceutical preparations
or X-ray service to persons who are
not INDECENT, except in emergency
cases or where the Commissioners
determine it to be necessary to pub
lie interest"
Several months ago DR.. Seckinger,
who was at that time acting super
intendent of Gallinger Municipal
Hospital, said that $50 prescriptions
we're filled daily without charge and
that out-patient service included
X-rays, dressing of minor injuries
and setting of fractured bones.
Mr.. West reported an improve
ment in the collection of patients
at municipal hospitals and said
that 80 to 80 per cent of admissions
were now being investigated by the
permit bureau, which studies the
financial ability of the patient.
Four years ago he said only 10 to
73 per cent of the admissions were
investigated.

DR.. GiIIick Resigns
As Rutland Aide;
Plans Research Work

DIR. Frederick G. Gillick. chief of
the Bureau of Venereal Disease Of
the Health Department, has re-
signed to resume work with the
Public Health Service.
DR.. Gillick, "a, who was on an
inactive reserve status with the
USPHS. will resume work with the
Federal agency as a surgeon. He
said he wished to devote his time
to research and teaching. No sue
cessor has been found.
The physician, who has been with
the department three years has
been active in the work of the Rapid
Treatment Center for venereal dis
eases at Gallinger Hospital, and at
clinics in the Southwest Health
Center, Polk School and Freedmen's
Hospital.
DR.. Gillick plans to leave the de-
partment at the end of the month,
Health Officer George c. Rutland
said. The rapid treatment center,
which was established in the sum-
mer of 1943, has handled some 1000
patients. The center has been
forced to operate on borrowed"
funds since the beginning of the
fiscal year, July l, until funds are
received from the Public Health
Service.
The Commissioners recently ap-
proved a Health Department ap-
plication to the USPHS for $102 900
for the center. which is one of the
IL research centers of the country.
The and 10 day treatments at the
center are reported by officials to
be more successful than any pre-
vious form of treatment.
DIR. Gillick came to the depart
ment back in 1943 as an assistant in
the bureau. A department spokes-
man said he had done more than
any other person to aid in the con-
troll of venereal diseases in the Dis

Officials Study Regulations
On Night Club Photographers

Do pretty girl cafe photographers
come naturally with chicken
salad sandwich and cup of coffee?
Or are they conducting a business
separate from food service?
This question is pending before
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board and the Corporation Coun-
sci. If they decide pictures are part
of whining and dining, servicemen
on leave can continue having 8
snapshot of themselves holding
hands with Sally across a restau-
rant table. Otherwise So Wash
ington eating and drinking places
will have to GUST about 100 persons
engaged in photography.
The question arose last winter
when the ABC Board increased its
restaurant inspectors from three
to ten. Ten men can see more than
three. These inspectors began re-
porting to Allan Payne, ABC chair
man, that photographers abounded
in restaurants licensed by the
board only to serve food and liquor.
II hadn't noticed" Mr.. Payne
said. Il don't go out very often.''
The reports were highlighted by
a decision last year by the corpora
ton counsel that automatic camera
machines could not be installed in
restaurants because they were not
Incidental" to preparation and
serving of food. Mr.. Payne said
the ABC board decided this ruling
should apply also to human pho
tographers. Last May the 36 eat
ing places were ordered to oust their
photographers They have appealed
and their case is now being studied
by the ABC board for some recon-
nendation to the corporation coun-
sci
