mittee, however, urged that a
smaller structure seating Co.
900 to 10000 and privately fl
nanced would be more suitable.
1t was such a stadium that
Representative Harris called for
in a bill introduced in 1949.
Fight Over Site
Opposition developed over the
East Capitol street site, pri-
marily because some feared
that the stadium plans threat
ened location of the East Capt.
tol Street Bridge. Alternate
sites were proposed, including
the National Training School
for Boys tract in Northeast and
a spot in Southwest Washing
ton.
But in September, 1856, Rep
resentatiVe Harris, who had
never forgotten the stadium
project, received a phone call
while home in Arkansas. 1t was
from William N. Mcleod, jr.
clerk of the House District
Committee. Mr.. Mcleod was
suggesting: Revive the stadium
legislation.
The Redskins Mr.. Marshall
had knocked on House District
Committee doors with a new
proposal: Authorize an engi-
neering study for design and
location. Then with a sensible
plan, Congress might go along.
Business leaders promised to
work for a public subscription
Of bonds to finance the stadium,
A New York engineering firm
recommended the East Capitol
street site. The bond issue
financing plan was adopted.
And after a skirmish on the
House floor with economy
minded Representatives, the
bill, sponsored by Mr.. Harris
in the House and Senator
Bible, Democrat of Nevada,
made it through. The stadium
was on the way at last.

PLATFORM

37-year-old Gov. Ernest F. Hol-
lingS of South Carolina-would
appear.
At the request of South Caro-
lima representatives on the plat
form committee, Gov. Hollings
made a hurried flight to Los
Angeles to appear before the
committee before the end of
public hearings this afternoon.
Holland Sounds Warning
The Southern position was
fortified by the clear warning
from Senator Holland of Flori-
da that the Democratic Party
could not expect to win in
November without the votes of
Southern States.
Against that was the stand
of Senator Kennedy of Mas
sachusetts. the frontrunner for
the nomination.
Close aides of the Senator
said he favored not just a
strong and specific civil rights
plank but one that would ex-
press sympathy of the Demo-
cratic Party for the Negro sit
in demonstrations in the South.
Southern Fight Blocked
Southerners earlier had pri-
vately conceded they were pre-
vented from waging the all-out
fight they would like to wage
against such a plank by the
candidacy of Senator johnson
of Texas.
1t is felt that any such fight
might damage the Senator's
chances of expanding his dele
gate strength beyond the bor-
derS of the South, where it Is
now concentrated. to the de-
gree necessary to win the NOM
ination.
Senator Holland went before
the platform committee yes

pearance to answer the de-
mands of liberal, Negro and
labor organizations for a far

underground building will be
shielded by four feet of con-
crete at the sides and eight
feet at the top.
The reactor site will be called
"DORF," initials of Diamond
Ordnance Radiation Facility.
1t will be used primarily by the
Army Ordnance Corps for test
ing of electronic systems under
conditions that might be en-
countered in atomic war, or in
connection with atomic pro-
pulSion.
Mr.. Haas said the reactor is
needed in the Washington area
because of a heavy research
and development work load
here. The fuze laboratory is
renting a Triga at La Jolla one
week each month and can do
only a fraction of the needed
work, Mr.. Haas said. Cost to
the Government, including
transportation of technicians
and materials, amounts to
about $4,000 a month, a rate
at which the DORF installa-
tion would pay for itself in
three years.
High Energy Peaks
The DORF reactor will be
able to simulate the high neu-
tron-f1ux and gamma-ray ennis
sion of an atomic bomb explo-
sion without the heat and
blast effects. The secret lies in
the Triga's construction, which
enables it to be run up to ex-
tremely high energy peaks,
after which it shuts itself down.
Its peak radiation levels are at
rates of about 100 million bill

submitted by Claude w. Owen,
then chairman of the boards
Community Affairs Committee
and later its president.
Memorial Theme
The report suggested the
stadium could be more than
just an athletic field, although
such use of it would have
been in keeping with the char
Eacter of the. famed Rough
Rider.
Two years later, in 1880, the
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the
Fine Arts Commission came up
with a plan to beautify East
Capitol street as far as the
Anacostia River, with stately
Government buildings lining
the boulevard and terminating
with a stadium at the rivers
edge.
Five years later Interior Sec
retary Harold L. Ickes ordered
a study by a landscape architect
specially appointed to look into
the East Capitol street site for
a stadium. Shortly thereafter
the proposal for a National
Guard Armory was Incorporated
into the plan. Approval was
soon given by the Fine Arts
Commission and the NCPPC.
Various Uses Forecast
At one point the Board of
Trade urged expanding the plan
to include an auditorium with
exhibition space.
The proposal for a combined
National Guard Armory sports
center and auditorium was
made in 1899 and the armory
finally became a reality some
years later.
In 1914 a citizens group
called the National Stadium
Committee was formed to pro-
mote the project as part of the
city'S postwar plans, with Fed
eral blessing. The group
backed by the Board of Trade,
whose leaders were still firm in
the belief a stadium was
needed-called a public rally.
Scores of civic groups re-
sponded and hundreds attended
the meeting, at which a mes
sage was read from President
Roosevelt supporting the prof.
ect. Sharing the speakers
platform that night were two
former heavyweight boxing
champions. Gene Tunney and
Jack Dempsey.
War Memorial Suggested
1t was proposed that the
stadium be memorial to those
who died in both world wars.
Out of the strong push be-
gun at that time came a con-
gressional resolution sponsored
by the late Senator Bilbo and
by Representative Randolph,
who now represents West Vir-
ginia in the Senate.
The resolution established a
stadium commission. Named to
the commission, among other
District leaders, was Mr.. Akers,
the Washington automobile
dealer, who had been chairman
Of the citizens committee, and
is now chairman of the Armory
Board.
He succeeded the late George
F. Shea, who conducted a tire
less fight to get the stadium
underway prior to his death
earlier this year. A proposal
has been made that the stadi-
um be named in memory of
Mr.. Shea. Another proposal is
that it be named for the late
John A. Reilly, a banker who
served on the stadium COM
mission.
Arguments later developed
around Senator Bilbo's proposal
that the stadium should be an
immense structure holding 200,-
900 people. The Senator, chair
man of the nine member sta
dium commission, envisioned a
Hall of Fame auditorium wing,
a permanent exhibit area and
an aluminium cover to make it
an "all weather" stadium. 1t
would have cost $25 million.

-Rayburn Puts
Life in Drive
For Johnson
BY DAVID s. BRODER
Star Stan Writer

! LOS ANGELES, July g.
Speaker Rayburn, his Roman
senator head erect, walked with
the dignity of his 78 years into
the Kennedy-laden tumult of
the Biltmore Hotel yesterday
and methodically set about
promoting his protege, Senator
johnson. for the presidency.
His very arrival seemed to
put backbone into the johnson
forces, who have had little to
cheer about these past few
days.
1t was not so much what Mr..
Rayburn did as the manner
OF his doing it that, momen-
tarily at least. diverted atten-
ton from the smooth progress
Of the Kennedy machine.
The Speaker, who presided
over the last three conventions
uncompromisingly, is in a new
role this year as a campaign
manager and he staged a press
conference that showed he
knew what was required of him
now.
He confessed winningly that
he had never been one who
particularly liked being photo
graphed or televised or inter-
viewed" and then flattered the
reporters by telling them they
had always been fair to him.
Ready For Sacrifice
So" he concluded, with the
barest suggestion of a shrug,
I am now ready to be offered
up"
The first question called for
a prediction of what will hap
pen when the balloting begins.
"All the delegates" he re-
piled, will vote"
How will they vote?
II haven't dissected all of
them," he said modestly, "but
I would expect they would vote
according to their conscience
or the instructions of their
States"
Mr.. Rayburn then unbent a
bit and allowed that it was his
belief that neither Senator
johnson nor anyone else would
win a first ballot victory. But,
he made it clear, he expects
Senator johnson to win.
Then someone brought UP
Senator Kennedy and the steel
showed through the velvet.
II will not say" he intoned,
that Senator Kennedy cannot
carry Texas or the South-pub-
licly." ~
Still Won't Say
Is Senator Kennedy too
. young for the job? I'm not
going to say" He paused, then
added, with deliberate empha-
sis: Il may have my private
opinion on that-and I do
From the press conference, Mr..
Rayburn was escorted on what
he called a courtesy tour" of
rival headquarters. In the
Symington suite, the Senator's S
son, Jim, picked up his guitar
and welcomed him with the old
ballad, "The Streets Of Laredo" I"
If Mr.. Rayburn read any
significance in the bit about
"the young cowboy all wrapped
in white linen, all wrapped in
white linen as cold as the
grave" he did not give any sign
of it.
Across the corridor, in the
jammed Kennedy hospitality
rooms, frozen smiles greeted his
arrival. An eager volunteer
sought to pin a Kennedy but
ton on his lapel, but was re-
pulsed with one blink of the
Rayburn eyes. Senator Ken
nedy's brother Bob, young
enough to be the Speakers
grandson, extended the formal
hospitality of the house and
in less than minute Mr.. Ray
burn was again on his way.
An aide told him the Steven
son headquarters were UP one
floor. I've had enough for one
day." he said, and turned to
the serious work that had
brought him across the con-
tinent.

lower stands that can be moved
to line up the field for either
football or baseball.
There will be parking space
for 12,500 cars, 100 buses and
200 taxiS. HelicopterS will be
able to land on pads in the
stadium area. Boats will pull
up on the Anacostia and a
railroad spur line is being con-
sidered.
So far only the Redskins are
committed to use the stadium.
George Preston Marshall, Red
skin owner, has signed a 30
year lease calling for payment
of IL per cent of the Redskins
gross as rent. with the Armory
Board holding onto all the
ball parks concessions.
Griffith a HOld6ut
Calvin Griffith, owner of
the Senators, has not yet
agreed to any lease but has
said in the past that he is
pleased with the stadium's lay
out. One of the stumbling
blocks the stadium faced was
whether Mr.. Griffith intended
to take the Senators out of
Washington entirely.
The architect for the sta
dium is George L. Dahl of Dali
las. Engineers are Ewin Engi-
neering Associates of Washing
ton, and the Osborn Co. of
Cleveland. Preliminary engi-
neering surveys were made by
the New York consulting firm
of Praeger-Kavanagh-W Water
bury.
Yesterday shortly before
noon the District Armory
Board, met in the Office of
Arthur j. Bergman, Amory
manager, with representatives
of five banking syndicateS bid
ding on purchase of the sta
dium's $19.8 million bond issue.
Five telephone lines, con-
Meeting with each groups New
York headquarters, had been
set up. Just before the noon
deadline, each of the five men
called New York and was given
the lowest interest price that
the banks could offer at that
moment.
Free in 80 Years
The five jotted down the fig
ures on a bid form and sealed
them. Mr.. Bergman opened
them. The low bid Of 40 per
cent was submitted by a group
headed by the Chase Manhat-
tan Bank of New York.
In 80 years, Mr.. Bergman
said. the new stadium will have
paid off that bond issue and
will become the property of
the Interior Department.
The Armory Boards busy day
yesterday ended with the sign
ing of a construction contract
with the Philadelphia building
firm of McCloskey and Co. 1t
had submitted the low bid of
SAL million.
Now. with the bond sale COM
oleted and the construction con-
tract signed, the Interior De-
partment will go ahead with
construction of access roads,
parking areas and landScaping
for the new stadium, at a cost
of $2.6 million, which already
has been approved by Congress.
The rest of the nearly $40
million cost for the stadium
involves seating, engineering
fees, equipment and miscella-
neouS items.
1t is the duty of the District
Armory Board to construct,
maintain and operate the sta
dium. Fees from parking, con-
cessions and rental of the sta
dium are expected to make up
its cost.
When the proposal for a
municipal stadium was first
officially Endorsed in 1925, the
cost was estimated at SIS million.
In 1923 the Board of Trade
proposed a stadium seating
100000 as a Theodore Roose-
welt memorial. The report was

Vanished De GouIIe Foe
Sought by His Lawyer

PARIS, Dec. 6 tAP).-Pierre
Lagaillarde's defense attorney
has flown to Spain, fearing the
tough ex-paratroop officer is
trying to link up with other
French rightists and brew new
trouble in Algeria for President
Charles de Gaulle.
Lagaillarde's lawyer, Jean
Tixier Vignancourt. hoped to
persuade him to come back to
Paris.
The red-bearded Lagaillarde
and four others were disclosed
yesterday to have vanished from
Paris during their trial on
charges resulting from the
rightist revolt in Algeria Janu-
airy "a. Lagaillarde was CO.
leader of the rebellion.
Gen. de Gaulle goes to Al
geria Friday. Unconflrmed re-
ports said Lagaillarde may meet
in Spain with Gen. Raoul Salan,
former Algeria commander in
chief. who has criticized Gen.
de Gaulle's policies. and then
go to Algeria before Gen. de
Gaulle.
Salan "Indignant"
In San Sebastian, Spain,
Gen. Salan expressed indiena-
ton today over Lagaillarde's
fight and said he would not
receive him if he came to San
Sebastian.
The trial of Lagaillarde and
Is others before a military
tribunal was recessed for two
days after his sudden disap-
Ipearance. The Is are charged
with attacking the states
security.
Defense Attorney Jean Gal
lot told the court an anony-
nous telephone caller informed
him Lagaillarde slipped into
Spain.
Gen. de 'Gaullc is flying to
Algeria to promote a plan for
self government for the vast
territory. Lagaillarde an
French settlers in Algeria Bit
terly oppose Gen. de Gaulle's
plan.
Authorities Calm
A number of French settlers
said Lagaillarde's flight was

dicted that anyone attempting
to enter Algeria would face a
formidable barrier. French air
and naval forces patrol the
coasts around the clock to pre-
vent gun running by Algerian
rebels.
Allowed to Travel
Lagaillarde and the four who
vanished with him were under
provisional liberty during their
trial, with the right to travel
within France.
Warrants for the arrest of
Lagaillarde's four co-defend-
ants were issued. But Lagail-
larde. since he possesses i'm
munity as a member of Parlia-
ment, posed a special case. The
cabinet decided to ask Parlia-

to stay out of Algeria. Another
