By Boot or Air

Just to the west is the Anacostia River and King
man Lake. These can provide a unique way to go to
ball game. For football or baseball outing, what
could be more perfect than to hop boat on the
Maine avenue dockssmall pleasure craft excursion
types-and cruise to the ball park? The trip takes
about 35 minutes.
Plans for boat service between Alexandria and the
stadium are also in the works by large excursion
boat line.
Or If you prefer to travel by air. take helcopter
ride from National Airport and land the hellcopter
pad ,Al E :.
For those who prefer the more conventional auto
mobile stadium managers promise spectators they win
not have to contend with parking problems There
will be plenty Of supervised parking spaces on the
stadium grounds The roomy spaces will enable sports
fans to get in and out Of their cars without humping
into cars on either side of them,
Once inside the enclosed stadium Washingtonians
will discover that its rolling wavy architectural struc-
ture provides not only aesthetic but practical values

Ideas for Comfort

The new structure stresses comfort in other ways
too. Seats all theater with armrests and
wider to insure seating comfort Aisle spaces also
wider so latecomers won't have to crawl feet in
scrambing to their seats. Even the color scheme is
more appealing. Aqua and beige replace the deadpan
green of most stadium seating
There many further conveniences for the
sports fam One is the greater number of easily
sibe concession stands and rest Then, three
passenger elevators lift patrons to the level of their
seat location, boon for heart patients. Graduated
ramps enable spectators to reach their seats without
feeling they have been a mountain climbing ex
petition. .,st
The new stadium marks a definite contribution to
the new Washington 1t will undoubtedly be one of
the major tourist attractions in the Nations Capital
perhaps in class with the Washington Monument.
AS it's manager Arthur J. Bergman said: "The
stadium is symbol. We've become big city
in every way"

The Money Problem

Now with the blessing of Congress and the Presi-
dent the cultural center approaches realty-except
for the most important and difficulty step-aisng the
required estimated $75 million.
81 The master plans have been drawn Architect Ed
ward Durrel Stone has designed an opera house. con-
cert hall, play house. auditoriums for chamber music
lectures poetry readings and the like-a surrounding
grand salon OF 6,000-person capacity.
Democracies being what they are America has
no one like Louis XIV who in 1880 decreed the Comede
FrancaSe into business. 1t has no Empress Maria
Theresa who built the Teatro ALA Scala in 1776 1t has
no more men like Andrew Carnegie who can afford to
get up SIS million at whack.
Or if it does have such men, there are other places
for them to put it-for instance into something for
the old home town. Unlike European capitals, the
wealth of America is concentrated in cities other than
Washington Detroit New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh.
This complcates the fund-raisng problem, for
there those who say-why should we contribute to
something for Washington?
Nobody is aware of this than the Cultural
Centers Board of Trustees The emphasis they know,
must be NATIONAL Cultural Center. The Nation
must be convinced that this is for all the people
much any department, institution, museum
monument in the Federal City.
In Difference to the monumental nd-raiSing task,
the trustees going ahead realistically. Recently
Mr. Stone reported with revised plans to build, the
first STEP the entire outer structure shell and within
only of the hals-the opera house. The cost will
be about $50 million
Mr.. Stones plans embrace couple of notable
changes. One calls for double decking of the under
ground parking garage which will extend the full 900
feet of the vast structure The extra deck needed
to round out the desired ,922 parking slots.
The other change to lift theevel of the entire
building by 10 feet thus to avert through grading
what some feared would be flood threat
What OF the financial problem? It is one nobody
underestimates, especially the centers secretary,
Jarold A. Kieffer
Officially, the fund drive is not yet under way.
Mr.. Kieffer hopes it will begin before 1852 But more
than s12 million in pledges and contributions already
have been received.

Home for Comes

In the Washington, you can go to the ball
game by boat, helcopter, car or bus.
No matter which mode of transportation you
choose, you leave your parking problems behind
This is only one of the many advantages to the
new District of Columbia Stadium at East Capitol
street and the Anacostia River.
The most gratifying feature OF the roller
coaster shaped structure which opens October is
that its facilities are designed to make leisure time
more pleasurable more comfortable for W&shingto-
mans. s.stg s. ezrl stfe49S 81
This is true from the time you set out to watch
games played by the RsdsknsS the Senators baseball
club. the George Washington Colonals and other coli
lege teams until you. return home. e
1t would be impossible to say how many sports
fans have stayed home from games because they
couldn't park. The figure probably runs into the
millions How many more who haven't gone because
they didn't want to fight the traffic to Griffith
Stadium at Seventh and U streets NV. is anybody's
guess.
But things will be different now. Instead of an
athletic field huddled within the confines of narrow
city streets the stadium just Is minutes from down
town Washington stands in the center Of huge open
spaces. Its approaches are light free expreSSways

Details OF Seating

It will seat S,OOO-double the capacity of Lisner
Auditorium which the Washington Opera Society now
uses. 1t will be almost circular in design, with the
European seating pan-that is aisles only at the two
sides, but with plenty of room between rows.
The farthest seat from the stage will be 1877 feet
away compared with 165 feet at New Yorks new Lin
coin Center There will be three tiers or balconies the
first seating $40 persons the second 610 and the top
470 The comnodous stage can be used at full width of
80 feet or reduced to minimum of 46 feet
In short, it is the realization of careful planning
that included close looks at leading European and
American opera houses a dream not beyond
realization.

;. And a Center for Culture

Imagine the combined facilities of the Comedie
Franeaise La Scala Opera, Salzburg Festpielhaus,
Royal Albert Hall and Munichs Prinz Regenten all
under one roof This and more is within reach of
Washington and the Nation in the grand concept that
is the National Cultural Center
When its gracefully arching contours rise along
the reaches of Potomacs Foggy Bottom it will stand
as the living to world criticism OF Americas
apparent cultural apathy Justified or not 1t is cr
cism Washington has been unable to refute with as
much as opera house.
Evening star., 1961-09-17

Others feel this will be the simplest part Of all
They feel the center win stimulate national training
schools for the arts school Of ballet perhaps ma
tonal theater repertory company and music school
OF the stature OF Juiard Mr.. Kieffer is one whose
vision embraces all these in the future.
There will be unlimited floor space behind the
opera house tiers to house any of these schools of the
future" he said. $e g.
Until the other halls are built the opera house will
serve also for symphonic and theatrical performances

As Others See Us

Although the means within the power of
the country is not such to pursue the design tof
Washington to any great extent, it will be obvious
that the plan should be drawn on such scale as to
leave room for that aggrandizement and embelHsh-
ment which the increase of the wealth of the Nation
will permit it to pursue at any period, however
remote. Il Enfant in letter to Washington.

ings formerly used by the armory officers
on the hill-now used as the headquarters
OF the enemy here-are also being de-
Stroyed.
This work Of destruction is yet in prog

daylight today. I saw numbers of troops
among the ruins and on the hill; but the
main body has evidently gone off, leaving
apparently not more than one or two
thousand "a rear guard probably to COM

Two Top Officials Say Economy Trend Is Rising

WASHINGTON B - Two top officials of the Kennedy Admins tration told the nations News paper Editors Saturday the econ omy may be snapping out of the recession.
 But they cautioned that it is too early to say the economy is entirely out of the woods.
 These estimates came from Sec retary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges and Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg in addresses prepared for the annual meeting of the American Society of News paper Editors.
 The two cabinet officers stab- bed warning fingers at unemploy- ment. They asked the editors to support President Kennedy's long range economic program aimed at cutting jobless rolls - now about 6.9 of the labor force - to a level consistent with growth and prosperity.
 Hodges cited March gains in retail sales, factory production and workers income but told the editors:
 Although these signs are prom ising, there is no guarantee that the recovery will be rapid or adequate.
 'The administration :. seeks to promote a favorable climate for business opportunity and advance ment, but Congress has not yet acted on much of the Presidents anti-recession program.
 "We cannot afford to Wait-and- see attitude when opportunities for employment and progress may hang in the balance"
 Goldberg also repeated signs of an improving economy - an increased work week, halt to production decline, drop in the number of workers drawing un- employment benefits, m n g others - but he cautioned
 'Let me say, however, that while these indications are vel come, it is too early to say that we are entirely out of the woods.
 And certainly no one can argue that we are near that rate of economic growth we so badly need"

FAA ReVOlses Transport Rating of Alaska Airlines' Capt. James R. Long

WASHINGTON lR - The Fed eral Aviation Agency has ordered revocation of the air transport rating of Alaska Airlines Capt James R. Long, Spenard for vIo- lating flight regulations Feb. 9, 1860.
 The FAA said Friday Long, piloting a DC-6 plane on instru- ments on a ferry flight from An chorage, was judged by air traf- fife control to be approaching FL mendorf Air Force Base at too low an altitude. He was ordered to execute a missed approach and come around again for another try.
 The agency said that when Long failed these instructions, the plane hit trees 2,38O feet from the approach end of the runway, struck the ground 1900 feet short of the runway, and sllidded to a stop 1,200 feet from the runway.
 The FAA said Longs airline pilot rating would be revoked for "careless and reckless" flying. It said he would not be granted an- months.

Goldberg Plans to Enforce Acknowledgements
 Corruption Controls

WASHINGTON LR = Major employer and union organizations have received personal notice from Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg that. he intends to en- force labor corrup- tion controls.
 At the same time there were indications the government may soon disclose a major union en- bezzlment case, along with some civil actions against employers and labor consultantS for failure to file required reports.
 Goldberg, labor union lawyer until he was named to President Kennedy's Cabinet, said Satur- day he recently sent letters to presidents of all international unions and major management associations telling them of his enforcement plans.
 Let there be no question that we will deal with corruption through vigorous enforcement of the law" the letters said.

James Melton, Noted Opera Star Passes

NEW YORK lR - James Mel ton, noted concert, radio and tele- vision singer, died Friday. He was 57.
 Melton died at Roosevelt Hos pital.

IL Costs S1.0 Million To Run Pentagon's s Public Relations
By Ellon C. Fay

WASHINGTON R - It's talk ing about 46O men and $1.6 mil lion to handle the Pentagon's public relations this year
 A lot of money in everyday terms, although the outlay has been diminishing slowly for sev- eral years.
 Whether the flow Of informa- ton from the Pentagon has also diminished is a matter that is being debated.
 The Freedom on Information Committee of the American So- ciety of Newspaper Edit ors (ASNE) has submitted a critical report and aimed mostly at the State and Defense Departments.
 Involved is the Kennedy Ad- ministration's Freedom of T. 'o'- nation policies. NeWsmen also had complained of restrictive policies under the administrator of Eisenhower.
 The Newspapers Editors Con- mittee contended Tuesday that Kennedy was on record "as be- lieving in freedom of information and in his duty to see that the people are informed"
 But, the report said, neither he nor his administration has lived up to his promises"
 The White House, in a letter from News Secretary Pierre Sal finger, said the committees state ment was inaccurate.
 The President, he said, expects only information bearing on na- tional security to be withheld land would welcome reports of any violations of that policy"
 Much of the information bear ing on national security, of course, develops in the Pentagon.
 The Pentagon public relations budget has been diminishing slowly for several years-chiefly as the result of ceilings put on expenditures by Congress. The pending budget for next fiscal year will trim the figure a little more.
 The S1.6 million being spent during the fiscal year ending next June 30 isn't all the military spends for public relations. It covers the operations at head quarters in Washington. It does not include public relations oper- ation carried on by the services outside Washington. This could bring the total ''PR" bill near the $2 million mark.
