Trode Board Launches
Convention Hall Drive
By GEORGE WILSON »1
Star Staff Writer 11
The Metropolitan Washing-i
ton Board of Trade is calling/
for an all-out effort to get the 1
District a convention-sized ’
auditorium. i
Business leaders at a lunch- 1
eon launching the drive yester
day said that without such a I
facility Washington will con- ;
tinue to come off second best 1
in the national competition i
for business conventions.
“Isn’t it shameful that the
world’s capital doesn’t have an
ad'-quate auditorium?' .sk d
Edward J. Clarke, chairman of
the Board of Trade s Audito
rium Committee.
Mr. Clarke said the audi
torium, tentatively named the
United States Hall of Presi
dents. should be
located and have 12,000 seats
and 125.000 square feei of ex
hibit space. Also, he said, the
auditorium should be air con
ditioned and provide 30 auxil
iary rooms ranging in size from
50 to 3.500 seats.
“Nothing short of this will
be adequate,” he said. The Na
tional Guard Armory is not
suitable for conventions, he
added, for a number of rea
sons primarily its distance
from the center of the city.
$l5 Million at Stake
With a new auditorium, Mr.
Clarke predicted, Washington
would attract at least 10 addi
tional conventions a year
whose delegates would spend
up to $l5 million during their
stay. In addition, the District
government would net $200,-
000 more in hotel taxes.
The three big questions, ac
cording to Board of Trade lead
ers, are the location of the
auditorium, Federal legislation
establishing procedures for
building it and the financing.
“It would be foolish to try!
for a full Federal grant," Mr. 1
Clarke said. However, he said
there was a good chance of
getting money from the Hous
ing and Home Finance Agency
to plan the $3O million audi
torium.
The Board of Trade expects to
get the money for the audito
rium from one or all of these
sources: The District govern
ment, a bond issue or public
subscription. The organization
terms the three keys to the
auditorium drive “solid support
of the business community,
sensible planning and sound
financing.”
See Victory
John C. Pyles, president of
the Board of iTadc; R.-
Carr, chairman of the organi
zation's Convention and Visi
tors Bureau, and Mr. Clarke
expressed confidence that com
munity and business groups I
be mobilized sufficiently!
to win the fight for a conven
tion auditorium.
The business leaders said the
United States Hall of Presi
dents would be a worthy addi
tion to the Capital, since the
records of all the Presidents
have not been commemorated
in any one place.
Although the auditorium was
given priority on the Board of
Trade agenda. Mr. Carr told the
group there would be increased
efforts to publicize the coming
National Cherry Blossom Festi
val.

On Planner
Arlington Planning Commis
sion and County Board mem
bers agreed last night to the
creation of a “review board” to

County Manager A. T. Lund
berg proposed the new group
at a joint meeting of commis
sioners and board members
called to consider the means of

Under Mr. Lundberg’s pro
posal, the county will adver
tise for a new planning di

interviewed both by the review
board and by Mr. Lundberg.
The review board will make

tive hand itself.
