agreed to retain another building on
the site which Mr.. Blumberg said is
inadequate as a community center.
He said the Officers Club is a
frame building 148 feet long, located
at Nichols avenue and Joliet street
S.W. 1t contains two large rooms,
an entrance hall, three small rooms,
kitchen, two coat-check rooms,
three Mushrooms, one with bath:
two steel-inclosed storage rooms and
is heated by an adjoining central
heating plan.
The inside of the structure Is
paneled with construction board,
and there are modern lighting
fixtures.
Willing to Finance Cost.
Mr.. Blumberg explained that res
idents in the area were willing,
through the citizens group, to
finance cost of maintaining the club
as community center for at least
one year. He said 1t was In good
condition now, and, at most, would
need only a coat of paint.
Mr. Blumberg read a letter con-
tanned in a report of the associations
Recreation Committee, which he
said outlined the recreation depart
ment's opposition to retaining the
club structure.
The letter, dated April Is, was
signed by Miss Sibyl Baker. then
acting superintendent of the recrea-
ton department. he said.
1t said the building was inspected
by department committee, and
that the following findings were
made.
1.-THE officers Club Building would
require considerable expenditure of
funds to place in condition for year.
round use. The structure is approx
imately Is years old. The building is
much larger than Is normally found
on a minor unit of the recreation
system.
System Plan Held Needed.
while the Washington Highlands
Citizens Association apparently is
thinking of program which would
require structure as large as this
one, it was felt that as a matter of
policy the ALLEGATION Of program in
this section of the city should follow
the pattern of the system plan which
provides for a major center at the
Oxun Run Recreation Center.
The committee further felt that
these community needs should be
met temporarily at the Patterson
School on South Capitol street. The
committee inspected the school
building and found an auditorium
and a large lunchroom below the
level of the auditorium which woule

Citizens in Southwest
Seek Fort Drum Club
Use as Play Center

A campaign to preserve the Off,
GERS Club In the Fort Drum area
as a recreation ard community
center was underway today after a
large group of Southwest citizens
attended a protest meeting in Pat
terson School last night.
The District Recreation Depart
n1ent wants to demolish the struc-
ture before taking over its sur
rounding area as the projected Bald
Eagle Playground, according tc
Emanuel Blumberg, chairman Of the
Recreation Committee of the Wash
ington Highlands Citizens Associa-
tion. This group is leading the
campaign to acquire the structure
Mr.. Blumberg said the depart
naent has opposed keeping the build
ing because its use would be con-
trary to existing plans which provide
for a major center at the Oxon Run
Recreation Center. Mississippi ave-
nue. and Wayne place S. E.
Building Ideal as Center.
He termed the building ideal as q
community center and badly needed
for this purpose because existing
facilities are inadequate for the
community's 5000 families.
More than $500 children in the
section now use three Fairgrounds
including Oxon Run, which do not
fully fill the sections needs, Mr.
Blumberg explained. He described
these facilities as follows:
Oxon Run-Ballfield only. One
employe during July and August
with no other supervision.
Fort Gribble Playground, Nichols
avenue and Chesapeake street
SW.-Two ball fields, one soft-sur-
faced basketball court. IL swings and
-totters. Supervised by two
employees, one of whom is on a
part-time basis.
Livingston Playground, end OF
South Capitol street--Ballf1eld only
One employee during July and Au-
gust, no other supervision.
The Officers Club now is leased to
the Navy Department, which asked
to be released from the contract
Mr.. Blumberg said. The building
then would revert to the Recreation

LABOR AWAKENING TO NEED
FOR UNITY IN <%~ PARTS
OF UNITED STAl>~

A significant tide of labor unity has begun to sweep the u.
S. as unions show increasing awareness of the need for united
action in the face of pending ant-labor legislation on both the
state and national levels.
Apparently spanked by the governments use of injunction
against the United Mine Workers (AFL) and Clio President
Philip Murray's subsequent appeal for unity of all sections of
labor, local bodies of the AFL, CLIO, railroad brotherhoods and
other unaffiliated unions have undertaken specific joint action
in at least five key industrial states. Here at home many AFL
Clio unions, the Farmers Union, Veterans of Foreign Wars and
the Fraternal Order of Eagles, have set up a state legislative
co-ordinating committee which is functioning smoothly at the
state capital, Helena.
