understood to favor these ap-
proacheS:
Financing-Bond issues must
await Congressional action on
the site. The amount Of bonds
will depend on how much the
local football and baseball
clubs will pay to lease the
stadium.
Other Cities Studied
AS a guide for future leasing
agreement, consultants have
analysed stadium operations in
five comparable cities. include
ing Milwaukee and Kansas
City. They lined UP receipts Of
ball clubs and stadium rentals
in those towns with receipts Of
the Washington clubs during
the last 10 years.
Calvin Griffith and George
Marshall, presidents Of the Sem
ators baseball club and the Red
skins football team, respec-
lively, expect q low rental. But
they haven't committed them
selves on a figure, pending re-
ceipt of the stadium report.
Design-The stadium would
be bowl-shaped, with . de-
pressed playing field. Consult
ants came UP with q rotating
seat device to guarantee that
about 30 per cent of the $4,000
seats would be first rate. Their
idea is to mount seats on motor
driven wheeled platforms. Dur
ing baseball games, seats would
be shifted between the first and
third base lines, for example.
Football rooters would find
their seats shifted back to mid
field.
Site and parking develop

Emil and Richard Praeger of
the New York firm will urge
the board at a conference
Wednesday to petition Congress
at once for one Of three sites,
1t was reliably reported yester-
day.
Sites Near Armory
The recommended sites are:
/. A hollow Of land east Of
the Armory between Constitu-
ton and Independence avenues
at the Anacostia River. This
site is near Kingman Lake.
2. A tract one-half mile north
and slightly east of the first
site, bounded by Benning road
on the north and the river on
the east.
3. Land north Of the Armory
across East Capitol street, now
occupied by temporary Federal
buildings. The west and east
boundaries Of this site would
be Nineteenth and Twenty-first
streets.
The Federal Government
owns all three sites. Value Of
each tract. not formally as
sessed, Is estimated at between
81 and 50 million.
Congress baked last year at
handing land over to the board
for a stadium, mainly at the
insistence of Representative
Gross. Republican of Iowa. But
stadium champions are hope
full that cost and revenue esti-
mates in the Praeger report will
dissolve previous Capitol Hill
objections.

The. sponsors are a committee
of volunteer women associated
with Barney Neighborhood
House. They hope the project
will demonstrate the worth of
a city-wide lunch program in
the elementary schools.
The 200 students have been
selected on the basis of need
from the Grenleaf and Syphax
Elementary Schools. The so

rs Cents Per Lunch
The volunteer group. through
Barney Neighborhood House,
will pay the District school sys-
tenn Is cents for each lunch
served. The young students will
be fed the regular ascent meal
prepared by the cafeteria at
each school, but at a different
time from the regular junior
high lunch period.
All District junior and senior
high schools serve a ascent
lunch, a 35-cent lunch and sew
eral a la carte items. Most stu
dents pay for them, but about
325 throughout the city get
them free.
The Districts elementary
schools, on the other hand, do
not serve any kind Of lunch, on
the theory that their students
are all within walking distance
Of their homes.
The trouble with this theory
is that some elementary stu
dents must return to homes
where they are no parents at
noon to feed them properly, or
where meals are poorly bal
anced.
The present program is an
outgrowth of a smaller one con-
Quoted at Barney last spring.
At that time, about 80 children
got hot lunches every day at
the neighborhood house.
Chosen by Barney Workers
When the volunteer group
decided to try a larger program
this year. they found that Bar
ney was too small. They tried
first to get approval for use
of the lunchroom at the Sy-
phax School. To bring the
lunchroom UP to Health De-
partment standards would
have required extensive reno

unteers abandoned the idea.

Karrick Backs
Health Advisers
Adds to Those Listed
In Cobb's Cartoon

District Commissioner David
B. Karrick acknowledged last
night that the city is loaded
with public health advisory
groups, but he had a good word
to say for them.
Speaking on Station WWDC's
Report to the People," the
Commissioner commented .on a
cartoon by DR.. w. Montague
Cobb, chairman Of the Districts
Public Health Advisory Coun-
Gil. DR.. Cobb's organizational
fantasy was designed to show
the multiplicity Of the city's
various advisory bodies.
Commissioner Karrick found
the cartoon published last
week both accurate and anus
ing" But, he said. DR.. Cobb
limited himself to the councils
and committees in the city gov
eminent, while he could have
listed many more.
Mr.. Karrick named the Pub
lie Health Committee of the
Board of Trade. the Public
Health Section of United Com
munity Services. the Public
Health Committee Of the Dis
Itrict Medical Society. a similar
committee > of the District
Medico- Chirurgical Society. as
well as the Public Health Com
mittee Of the Federation of
Citizens Associations and a like
committee Of the Federation of
Civic Associations, a commit
tee of the League Of Women

citizens and civic associations.
mo doubt" he commented.
"this great number. of public
health groups causes a multi
|plicity Of advice and counsel
to the Commissioners and to
other departments Of the Dis
trict Government.
But the ideas contributed
by so many minds broaden the
Commissioners knowledge of
citizens attitudes on public
health policy, and I believe
that in an unrepresented, nom
voting community, this COM
plexity is far more than bal
anced by the benefits and adj
vantages created by this oppor-
tunity to our citizens to
participate in the activities OF
their government"

proved the present plan to use
the two junior high school cafe
terias, but declined the respon-
sibility of selecting the chill
dren. Barney workers did that,
after consulting records in
several social agencies.
The volunteer group behind
the program will attempt to
test the children involved to
discover If regular hot lunches
have improved their health,
school achievement, attendance
and behavior.
The results, they believe,
may be a strong argument for
the establishment Of lunch
programs in all District ele-
mentary schools.
The Jayncees, members of
the women's auxiliary of the
Washington Junior Chamber
of Commerce, have underwrit-
ten part of the, costs of the

money last week. Contribu-

said the subject will require
thorough study.
Consultations Planned
Two members of his staff
have been assigned to the task,
he said. He added that consul
tations with a number of in
terested persons, including the
board itself. are planned. He
said the Commissioners might
eventually consider holding a
public hearing.
The Commissioners decision
for the rule overhaul followed
submission Of a list Of recon-
mendations by Milton w. King,
w a hington attorney and
member Of the Citizens Ad-
visory Council.
Mr.. King recently was as
signed by the council to inves-
tigate the complaints by civic
organizations.
Mr.. Kings first proposal was
for the rule rewriting. The
council member declined to dis
close the other recommended
tons without clearance from
Commissioner Karrick, how
ever. and this was refused last
night by Mr.. Karrick, who
oversees the Abe board.
1t was understood, however
that the proposals dealt di-
rectly with various citizen COM
plants.
Mr.. King said he consulted
with a special District Bar AS

tons with the Abe board be-
