Sports Center
Study Awaited

The National Stadium Com
mission is expected soon to study
a report on the feasibility of de-
veloping Griffith Stadium and
the surrounding area into a huge
sports center.
Representative TIL o mpson,
Democrat of New Jersey, a mem
Der Of the commission. has re-
quested copies Of the study made
recently by the District Rede-
velopment Land Agency at the
request of the Washington Board
Of Trade.
The land agency board will
discuss the report at its meeting
Tuesday.
Representative Thompson said
that the idea of converting the
present stadium makes a great
deal of sense" While providing
an easily accessible National
Stadium location, the project, by
being tied in with an urban re-
development program for the
surrounding area, could mean
wiping out some Of the city's
worst slums.
The legislator indicated he is
impressed by the apparent will
ingness of the owners Of the
Washington baseball club and
the football Redskins to support
the conversion. and their con.
fidence that the job could be
financed successfully by a bond
issue.
The suggested National Train
ing School site for a National
Stadium could be made available
for the construction Of another
Federal agency. Mr.. Thompson
said.

sions with the union this week
would be devoted to agreeing on
how to select the third man.
Arbitration Suggested
Mr.. Chalk has been associated
in his purchase Of the transit
properties with Morris Fox, pres
ident of B. & F. Transportation
Company. a local trucking firm.
Mr.. Fox has said he favors arbi-
tration. His lawyer, Edward F.
Colladay, once specified what he
meant in testimony before a
House subcommittee. He offered
three kinds of arbitration: %
By a three-judge panel of the
U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia; 90 by q
board made up Of the president
of the District Commissioners,
the chairman of the Public Util-
titles Commission, and a prom
inent citizen to be selected by
the board of directors of the
Washington Board of Trade"
and 80 by board named by the
Commissioners, two of whom
shall be experienced and able
businessmen or lawyers. and one
shall be a prominent member
Iot the clergy"
Possibility Of intervention by
the Commissioners was dis
counted last night by Commits
sioner David B. Karrick, inter-
viewed on Report to the People"
over Radio Station WWDC.
He said the city heads have not
yet been asked to take part in
the labor negotiations. which
they handled as middle-men last
year during the strike.
Would Wait on Invitation
I'VE should" he said, wait
until one side or the other has
requested us to collaborate be-
fore We inject ourselves into
these negotiations"
However. he declared, the
Commissioners would be willing
to take part if asked to do so.
The arbitration issue has been
a major one through recent his
tory of the transit industry here.
Until control of CTC was pur-
chased in 1949 by Louis E..
/ Wolfson, the union charged the
company management constantly
insisted on arbitration to settle
all disputes-even deadlocks over
negotiation of new contracts.
Under Wolfson management,
however, the union charged,
etc fatty refused to arbitrate
new contracts. Another dispute,
still pending in court. came over
company refusal to arbitrate re-
newal of a pension agreement
tied in with the basic labor con-
tract.
Amended by Senate
When the District Commits
sioners sent to Congress their
plan for a publicly owned transit
authority last January, they pro-
posed to ban strikes and made
no provision for union recogni-
ton or arbitration.
The Senate, however, killed
the strike ban, wrote in power for
the authority to deal with the
union and empowered it to arbi-
trate all disputes. as is done by
the Chicago Transit Authority.
And, one provision of the new
contract demands by the transit
workers union calls specifically
for arbitration of contract re-
newals, as we'll as of disputes
arising during the life of the
contract,

Agreement on a new union
contract is the last major barrier
before Mr.. Chalk, New York real
estate owner and president of
Trans Caribbean Always. Inc,
can start operating Streetcars
and buses here in a week and a
half.
Only the day before, on August
IA. he is scheduled to CLOSE" the
deal under which his T. c. A.
Investing Corporation will buy
all the property Of Capital
Transit Company for $13,540.000
The next day, when his 20
year congressional franchise goes
into effect. Mr.. Chalk is to start
operating the equipment as the
d. c. Transit System. Inc.
Franchise TO Die on I4th :
Capital Transits franchise dies
at midnight August IA under
legislation passed by Congress
during the 52-day Washington
transit strike last summer.
The union contract with etc
expires at the sametime, and so
far the union - Division $50,
Amelgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of
America-has found no one with
whom to negotiate its demands
for a new contract.
They were sent to CTG two
months ago, but that company
refused to bargain on the grounds
it was going out of the transit
business at the same time the
contract expired. Mr.. Chalk re-
fused to negotiate with the union
until etc stockholders had form
ally ratified his deal to buy the
company's equipment, which they
did Friday.
Yesterday, Mr.. Chalk tele-
phoned Walter j. Bierwagen,
president of Division $50, and
postponed tentative plans to meet
over the week end, promising to
call Mr. Bierwagen tomorrow.
Mr.. Chalk has refused to dis
cuss his thoughts on negotiation
of the long and complex union
contract, but has insisted he is
optimistic" about a quick agree
ment.
NegOtiatOrS Have Doubts
Veterans of labor negotiations
are uncertain whether such an
agreement can be negotiated in
the week and a half remaining
before the old contract expires.
They suggest that the most
likely solution would be to throw
the whole problem into arbitra-
ton, since the union has prom
ised to work without a contract
if it is being handled through
binding arbitration.
Mr.. Chalk has said he favorS
arbitration, but has refused to
say what kind of arbitration he
means, or how he would like to
select the key man on an arbi-
tration board.
Capital Transit last year re-
fused to arbitrate under any plan
acceptable to the union. The
union has favored arbitration by
three-man boards, with each side
to choose one man. The third
man would be chosen by taking
lists of names supplied by the
American Arbitration Associa-
ton or by the Federal Mediation
Service and letting each side
strike off names until only one
is left.
Presumably. if Mr.. Chalk
chooses to settle through arbi-
tration. the bulk of his discus
