Griffith Asks
New Stadium
Seating Plan

At the request of Calvin Grit
fifth, president of the Senators.
the District Armory board will
present new seating plans for
the city's proposed stadium,
with the idea of making it
more suitable for baseball.
Mr.. Griffith, who up to now
has refused to commit the base
ball team to play in the arena
to be built near the East Cap
itol Street Bridge, met with
the Armory Board for an hour
and Is minutes yesterday.
He pointed out that present
plans call for double-decking
the stadium only down the
third-base line. This would
provide only 1900 seats in the
infield area, whereas he feels
that at least $4,000 are needed.
His plans would require double
decking the portion behind
home plate and down the first
vase line.
A member of the Armory
Board said Mr.. Griffith's re-
quest met with a friendly re-
ception." The board plans to
offer revised seating plans
within 10 days or two weeks,
after which Mr.. Griffith said
he might be ready to begin ne
gotiations about a lease.
Chairman George Shea said
the Armory Board would try to
do everything possible to reach
agreement with Mr.. Griffith,
but he reiterated that the sta
dunn would be built regardless
of the outcome of negotiations
with the ball club.
Yesterdays meeting was re-
quested by the baseball club.

lenge Representative Foley,
Democrat, for the 9Th con-
gressional district seat.
Republican organizations in
both the 9Th and 5th districts
met yesterday to map plans
for the 1860 campaign.
At the 9Th western Mary
land), district meeting in Hag-
erstown, Mr.. Rinehart's name
was tossed into the ring by
former Montgomery Chairman
Walter w. Dawson. The Cen
trail Committee members from
the five counties were dis
suaded from Immediately in
dorsing Mr.. Rinehart as the

Instead, it was agreed that

The Arlington Civic Fedora
ton last night unanimously
supported the $2.5 billion area
mass transportation plan.
Maj. Gen. C. G. Helmick
U. S. Army (ret.), chairman
of the federation's highway
committee, will represent the
association at Fridays Congress
sional hearing on the Airing
ton portion of the rail-express
bus-freeway plan to meet area
transportation needs by 1880.
The federation's action fol-
lowed by a day Endorsement of
the plan by the County Plan
ming Commission.
The federation turned down
by close vote a proposed res
olution that Arlington's future
transportation volume was not
given enough consideration in
the plan. Boris S. Yane, pres
ident of the Columbia Pike
Citizens Association, noted the
plan provides only one express
bus line to serve Arlington
from Falls Church to Wash
ington.
Other prnnnSaIs
The other proposed bus line
and rail line would be of little
or no use to the congested areas
of the county because they run
alongside or outside its bound
aries, Mr.. Yane said.
Mr.. Yane asked why there
were no lines proposed to the
Columbia Pike area and to the
Dulles International Airport
at Chantilly now under con-
struction.
Studies have shown said Gen
Helmick, who is member OF
the Rock Spring Civic Asso-
citation, that there will be nc
great increase in 'Arlington'c
residential and working popu-
lation or in the traffic within
the next 20 years.
Walter Kingsbury, chairman
of.the Interfederation Council,
commended that the plan pro-
Wdes sufficient f1exibility. Arl-
ington was thoroughly pro-
tected" because the proposed
freewayS could be converted to
express bus or rail lines if nee
essary, he said.

Federal Units Check
Cronberries Over u. S.

The Government intensified
efforts today to give American
homes both cranberries and
peace of mind with Their
Thanksgiving dinners.
BY tomorrow, 100 inspectors
and so chemists will be check
ing in II Food and Drug Ad-
ministration district Offices for
traces Of a weed killer that
caused CONSERVATION in the
industry this week.
So far the FDA has found
traces of the chemical, known
to cause cancer In rats, only
| in the Oregon and Washington
crops-about 10 per cent Of the
national yield. But to be on
the safe side, FDA has sug-
gested that housewives refrain
from buying the berries until
greater assurance is given.
Testing of cranberries in each
of the districts is a slow proc
ess, requiring special equipment
flown from Washington. Gov
eminent officials hope, how
ever, the picture will be suf-
ficiently cleared to give con-
sumers cranberries for Thanks
giving and Christmas with no
doubts attached.
Sure Crop Is Untainted
DR.. Chester E. Cross of the
University Of Massachusetts,
said today he saw no reason
why people should not eat
cranberries now and during
the coming holiday season.
Director of the Massachu-
sets Agricultural Experiment
Station, DR.. Cross said he was
confident the huge Massachu-
sets crop was free of con-
tamination.
Pointing out that the weed
spraying had been questioned
only in a small fraction Of the
Nations crop, DR.. Cross said he
personally would eat a portion
of even the West Coast cram
berries with no more concern
than he would feel over a single
cigarette.

Agriculture Secretary Benson
expressed sympathy for the
growers and wired Mr.. OLSON
that the Agriculture Depart
ment is ready to assist them to
the fullest extent. 1t was not
clear what steps the depart

could buy this years crop and
hold it, pending determination
of what could be marketed.

Check Slated
On Private
School Buses

The operation of private
school buses in Northern Vir-
GINA will be investigated by a
citizens group since several OF
the buses have been reported
involved in accidents recently
Harry w. Bendall, chairman
of the Northern Virginia Ad-
visory Board of the American
Automobile Association, said
the collisions were cause for
concern. He asked first for q
report on State laws which reg
ulate private school buses and
their drivers.
A recent survey of Northern
Virginia private schools and
their transportation programs
proved inconclusive, Hal v
Kelly of the AAA reported. Only
10 replies were received after
108 letters were sent out to the
schools, he said.
The letters that were re-
ceived indicated a heavy reli.
ance on chauffeur's licenses as
a measure of ability, Mr.. Kelly
said. The members agreed that
requirements for this license
were easy to meet.
Earlier this week, the Sub

Board heard a suggestion tc
have private buses spot-checkeo

star Stan Writer

A Montgome cry County
spokesman has been authorized
to tell congressional transit
probers tomorrow that the de-
velopment Of an area rapid
transit system is necessary II
traffic strangulation is to be
averted.
A county council statement
which Intentionally avoids
specific recommendations will
be submitted to the Bible COM
mittee by Mrs. Stella B. Werner
council president.
In its statement, the council
will back the view that 1t is
neither practical nor possible
to provide needed transporta-
ton facilities by the construc-
ton of more and more high
ways"
AT tnelr regular meeting yes
terday, council members dis.
.cussed the mass transit surveys
recommendations and the posi-
ton the council should take
vis-a-vis the proposed Metro
politan transit system plan
which would provide both rapid
rail transit and new freeways.
During the past few months,
it has become increasingly ap-
parent that many Montgomery
officials would prefer to en-
phasize rapid transit and de-
emphasize freeway construction,
Early this year, the county was
split by a bitter controversy
over a plan to build a SUPER
highway corridor paralleling
Wisconsin avenue through Be-
thesda. After public hearings,
the plan was shelved.
The statement Mrs. Werner
will present to the committee
indirectly criticizes the radial
freeway concept.
