In Russia, for instance, they have seats only
II inches wide in the 100 OOO-capacity Moscow
Stadium. Can you imagine Khrushchev being
comfortable in a 17-inch seat? Ours will
average 20 in width, with arms. And we'll park
1880 automobiles, 100 buses and 200 taxis."
The District Stadium, which will house
the football Redskins beginning next Septem-
ber and the new baseball Senators in 1852
will be the most adaptable in the world, &C.
cording to Bergman. With very little effort
we can move 1000 seats, depending upon
whether it's baseball, football, Presidential
Inauguration or whatever" he says.
There will be no bad seats anywhere.
There are no columns or other distractions
to block the view. About 80 per cent of the seats
will be adjacent to the baseball foul lines and
approximately 10000 are along the football
Sidelines.
This stadium. to repeat, was designed
for comfort, for access, for egress. The interior
paSsageways, exits and ramps are SO ample
that we can empty the stadium Of capacity
crowd in is minutes. The 1000 movable seats
will be in Orange-slice-shaped sections in the
lower grandstand, supported on a steel plat
form which, in turn, will ride on steel rails.
Field lighting will be one of the most
powerful ever built The batteries of big
lamps will deliver about 200 footcandles of
light to the infield, uniform $50 foOt-candles
in the outfield and for football. BY compar-
iSon, the very best street lighting on a major
superhighway delivers something less than 20
footcandles, and an excellent office lighting
system may deliver 20 footcandles to your
desk"
Originally, the Stadium was to have cost
$4,000 00O In addition, the Interior Depart
ment has been directed to construct motor
vehicle parking areas, including drivewayS,
lighting and landscaping at a cost of 81 $50 600.
1t may 60 higher. Such projects usually do.

I'VE will have as well-placed rest rooms
for spectators, Bergman points out. Griffith
Stadium has seven, believe. There will be
provision for later installation of moving
stairways to reach the upper tiers Of seats. AS
for location, which has been criticized in some
quarters, no private automobile driver will
need more than SIS minuteS-one way-even
from the farthereSt reaches of Montgomery
County Average driving time from the closer
in areas will be no more than IS minutes"
If one way to popular stadium is via the
stomach, the new arena will be Offto running
start. Far more thought was given to food and
drink concessions than the layman might
realize. This problem of food is important
both to the public and to the stadium's in
come" Bergman points out. Well have almost
two city blocks of counter space 600 linear
feet in stands which will be spaced through
out the customer concourses. I believe our
kitchen equipment alone will cost about
$500 600" The 24Ofo0t by 20 foot main score
board also is estimated at this figure.
While the old Notre Damer always felt
confident that public opinion eventually
would have forced Calvin Griffith to move
his "old" baseball Senators to the new sta
dium, Dutch and his fellow board members
realize Inat SELLING JOO HOS UCSH SAAAHAA0SCO
with Griffith's transfer to MinneapOlis-St
Paul The ownership of the new Senators,
headed by Gen. ElwoOd Pete) Quesada, is
enthusiastic about moving into the new bowl.
Even if Griffith had stayed in Washington
and refused to leave his own park," Bergman
says, wed have been able to function. But
it helps to know that, starting in 1862 we'll
have major league baseball club as tenant
for upward Of n games.
All the Armory Board really needed to get
the new stadium off the launching pad was one
permanent tenant He turned up early: George
Preston Marshall of the Redskins, who else?

Bold PIuI,

The Town of Somerset is to be congratulated for
its plan to help establish park 80 within its
boundaries.
It's bold idea and one with great possibilities
The Park and Planning Commission should act
on the suggestion without delay. Further, the Com
mission must realize the great potential of this plan
and do everything in its power to acquire it and OPP
crate it as fine "city" park
The property, in two tracts privately owned
would be acquired through condemnation.
The cost of this property is unknown but the COM
munity of Somerset has offered to raise several
hundred thousand dollars" through long-term bonds
to contribute toward the cost of converting it to public
recreational and park use.
The Commission has been asked to provide the
balance of the cost of buying the property. would
also develop, manage and ultimately the park to
be located south of Dorset and west of Wisconsin
ave. just north of the District Line.
Town of Somerset Mayor Warren Jay Vnton and
all those who originated and worked on this plan de-
serve great credit This is the type of progressive
thinking and planning that whets the imagination.

American Airlines cites the perfect eX-
ample of what can be involved in scheduling
Until recently, it had flight t179) from Mem
phis to Dallas, connecting with nonstop DC7
from Dallas to Los Angeles. Along came the
Jets ard American put one on its DallasLoS
Angeles run. but leaving 80 minutes earlier
than the former DC7 trip.
This meant passengers wanting to fly from
Memphis to Los Angeles couldn't make the
Dallas connection. The solution was simple
Just bring flight 179 into Dallas one hour earli-
er to make the connection with the Los Ange-
les-bound jet
But American found that 179 was deliver
ing an average of % passengers daily to con-
Meeting flights at Dallas, only four of whom
were destined to Los Angeles. Bringing 179 in
an hour earlier would be fine for those four
but would inconvenience the other 18 by one
hour longer connecting time to other flights
So why not schedule the jet to leave 30
minutes later? Also simple. Except that the
Jet, when it reaches Los Angeles, turns around
and becomes flight II Los Ange1es-Boston Ieav-
ing at pm. Pacific tirne). Delaying that
Dallas departure would result in subsequent
Boston arrival of after midnight-highly I'M
popular
American then tried to find another jet
which could be used as flight II from Los An
geleS to Boston 1t found it had flight n, a
Baltimore Westinghouse Angeles nonstop
available. But to get this jet to Los Angeles
in time for servicing so it could become flight
II back to Boston, it was necessary to change
its Baltimore departure time-from noon back
to II am
This resulted in bellows of anguished rage
from the Washington sales manager who point.
ed out that his passengers had become accus-
toned to the noon departure time
American went ahead with utilizing west
bound flight us equipment for the east-bound
flight 12-as the solution which would incon.
venience the fewest passengers.
Which seems to be the Golden Rule for all
scheduling decisions
