Ceremonial Drink
The kava ceremony is replete

A group of Fijians encircle the
kava bowl-a four-legged carved
wooden receptacle of primitive
beauty. A muscular young mar
usually mixes the liquid. He
swishes the beat-up yaqona root
which looks much like a shock
of yellow sea-weed, in and out
of the bowl. He squeezes il

"bula." This pleases the host

would play after 1860. if the
baseball club moved and Crit
fifth Stadium was sold, Mr.. Mar
shall said, II would like to know
the same thing"
But in the next breath he
added:
1T is the intention Of the
(RedSkinSD board of directors, as
we'll as myself, to keep the Red
skins in the National Capital if
it is possible to keep them here.
IF necessary we will play any
place in the District of Column
bia that they'll give us a piece
OF ground to put up football
field and collect enough money
to pay the players"
Mr.. Marshall said it would cost
SIS million to build a proper"
stadium to house the baseball
and football teams. This would
require a return of $25O,00O an
nually. at the customary 5 per
cent usually derived from such a
stable investment.
The Redskins annually con-
tribute about 100000 to the
baseball club in rental fees and
concession profits. A new sta
dium with a $4,000 seating
capacity. as Mr.. Marshall has
suggested. would bring half as
much again.
The Redskins boss said the
Senators needed a stadium cas-
lily accessible to the public be-
cause they play n home games.
He pointed out, however. that
most Of the people using such a
stadium would come from sub
urban areas and that the project,
therefore. was Federal in scope,
rather than a District problem.
Mr.. Marshall criticized the
payment OF police on duJy Tor
sporting events at Griffith Sta
dium. He said the fact that the
Senators finished in seventh
place was not totally to blame
for the poor attendance.
Brooklyn didn't do so bad"
he declared. but fWalter)
O'Mslley can't keep the Dodgers
there II they don't give him a

: The Redskins executive said
Washington would be forced into
building a stadium, probably US
ing the same financial methods
as employed in Baltimore and
Milwaukee, or lose the team.

to West Coast interests about
moving the ball club to Los An
geles.
The President said he hadn't
seen the reports, but was strong
ly against such a deal. Noting
that he had seen a couple of last
seasons games at Griffith Sta
dunn, Mr.. Eisenhower said it was
too bad the Senators didn't have
a higher league standing. But
he said he enjoyed seeing them
when he could, anyway.
Franchise Balks Deal
The technical problems in a
franchise move made it appear
virtually impossible that the
shift could be made this year,
Thus, the Capital seemed to be
assured of at least one more year
of major league ball.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Gifith in
dicated that proposals for new
national stadium in Washing
ton might hold the key to
whether the ball club is moved.
"If we were assured of the new
stadium, then the club definitely
would remain in Washington.
But 1t is impossible to get along
the way things are now" he
told reporters.
The possibilities of financing,
locating and designing such a
stadium are under study now
by nine-man National Stadium
Commission, formed by Congress.
