Stadium Plans Backed
By New Members Of
House District Group

Inree Republicans named yeSter-
day by the minority members of the
House to serve on the House District
Committee are all agreed the Ma
tional Capital should have a me-
mortal stadium as one of It's prin-
cipal postwar projects.
They are Republican Representa-
tives O'Hara Of Minnesota, now be-
ginning his third House term; Grit
flths of Ohio. former Mayor of Mari
eta, Ohio, and McDonough of Cali
fornia, freshman" member of
Congress, who has background as
a member and former chairman of
the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors.
While assignment to the District
Committees OF Congress most often
is regarded as headache, all
three of the new members said they
were happy to serve.
Addition Is Surprise.
The addition of three new Re-
publican members was a bit of
surprise, since there were but two
vacancies, caused by the defeats at
the November elections of Repre-
sentatives Rohrbough of West vir-
ginia and Rowe of Ohio. However,
there was a third replacement. due
to the assignment Of Representative
Auchincloss of New Jersey to the
Veterans Committee. He already
had place on the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee.
Mr.. O'Hara already Is known to
Washington for his sponsorship OF
the bill, which passed the House last
session and failed of adoption by
the Senate only by a last minute
dispute over an amendment, to pre-
vent double or triple application OF
income taxes on Government work
ers who had changed physical resi-
dence, largely due to war work.
Mr.. O'Hara told The Star his plan
was to work for what is right for
the people of the District" but that
he had no preconceived ideas as to
"revolutionizing" of the municipal
government. Asked about the sta
dium proposal, he said he favored
the general idea and hoped a plan
could be developed which would be
self-liquidating.
Serving Second Term.
Mr.. Griflths, now serving his Sec
ond term in Congress, has a back
ground as Mayor of Marietta in 1888
and 1884, as well as in the Navy,
both prior to and during the First
World War. He said he was pleased
with the chance to serve in the man.
agement of the National Capital
and, particularly because of his in
terest in sports, was an advocate of
a stadium for the District.
Mr.. McDonough, Californian.
started off by stating the District
was sadly lacking in two things:
Sunshine and climate, and that he
would do all he could to remedy
these conditions.
Seriously speaking, he added that
he had found housing conditions
here very inadequate; that he
himself had not yet been able to
find satisfactory quarters; that he
believed slum clearance q vital prob
lem calling for solution, and that he
would work for better recreation
facilities for both youth and adults.
Mr.. McDonough said Washington
also should have a great stadium
like the Los Angeles COLISEUM and
surprised reporters by declaring that
transportation here was up to
snuff and far better than in Los
Angeles.
Mr.. McDonough has five sons in
the service, three in the Navy and
two in the Army. Speaking of his
residence here. he said, II don't
know where I would put them if
they all came to see me at the same

least the gentlemen in the orches-

tense on stage.
On the whole, however, we be-
leve the students of Heidelberg
made a favorable impression on the
audience. The company scored vo-
cally, for the most part, particu-
larly Laurel Hurley, who does the
role of Kathie. Princess Margaret
never seemed too happy when court
ing the prince in the higher regis
ter but then with everything else
the Karl Franz would have been a
stupid fellow not to have overlooked
this. We were sorry Toni the waiter
had no singing part. And this isn't
being facetious. We're merely try
ing to say had Nathaniel Sack been
provided with such and handled it
as well as his few lines of dialogue
he would have merited top billing.
But why discuss vocal deviation
when Romberg's Golden Days" and
Deep in My Heart" are the songs.
They are more than sufficient. The
plot, Of course, is the other unmen-
tionable. In case you get confused
for a moment there before the final
curtain Kathie does not get the
prince. But it's quite all right, since
everybody goes home thinking the
prince is still an extremely charming
fellow, Mr.. Romberg a pretty smart
composer and the Schuberts even
smarter.

slack. and realize how good it
really is.
It's songs and skits, written by
such talented CT gentry as Frank
Loesser, Peter Lynd Hayes, Hy Zaret,
Jerry Livingston, Mort Lewis, Les
Lewis, Dave Schwartz, range from
the lovely to the lively and are full
of leering laughter at Army life.
The sketches deal strictly with
soldier routine, satirically you can
bet, but in terms that no civilian
will have any trouble understanding
They cover such subjects as physical
examinations, the private lives of
Army cooks, red tape which con-
sumes ITS years before a soldier
show can be produced, barracks life,
the lack of privacy in private's
life, and even satire on civilian
existence and its frightening hard
ships. 1t is good, sturdy material
and the approach to it is the
healthiest thing you ever saw, in or
outside a hospital.
AS for the songs, a pleasantly
ribald humor is found in such things
as "Dogface," Gee, but It's Great
to be in the Army" and why Do
They Call Private Private?"
The big production number of the
revue is that tuneful melody, First
Glass Private Mary Brown" sung to
a WAC named Lucille Hornady who
certainly must be one of the prettiest
WACS in the service, as are indeed
all those in About Face"
Production is even bigger in the
final sequance of the revue called
PIX Parade. There the GIs are joined
not merely by the posts WAC con-
tingent but a quintet of civilian girls
who have learned to harmonic
effectively while looking attractive.
1t is in the PIX Parade sequence that
the revue's best male voice appears,
that of Rewald Wolfe, who is
logically bound for radio school after
having returned from a lot of less
pleasant places in this warning
world. :.
About Face" is going on tour of
communities in the vicinity of Mar
tlnsburg when it is whipped into
shape. Natives of those places would
do well to be on the lookout for
such performers as William Hough-
ton, Richard Neu, Ernest Kirtz.
A1nsel Lehman, and, of course, Miss
Hornady, Helen Donleavy, and the
other WACS.
We are glad to have been invited

IT it hadn't been for the chorus
last night We would have felt more
at home at the National. The
charming Heidelberg scenery seems
to have Jared none the worse since
last Karl Franz made love to Kathie
on E street. The crepe paper roses
on yon university wall may have
faded a shade or two. Kathy is 60
ing without silk stockings this year.
But outside of this, things seem to
be about the same with the ex-
ception, OF course, of the chorus.
What would We do without a nice
new Student Prince chorus every
season? Probably close our eyes and
listen to the Romberg melodies after
the first act instead of waiting until

In the third inning the Dowmen
