Teamster Chain of Command Move Disputed
WASHINGTON (B — Vice President Harold Gibbons of the Teamsters Union disputes reports that union leaders are moving to reestablish a union chain of command long ignored during the rigid one-man rule of President James R. Hoffa.
Gibbons, president of St, Louis Joint Council 13, said yesterday the reports are inaccurate.
With Hoffa now serving a prison term, top Teamsters officials were reported earlier yesterday to have agreed in a secret Chicago session to bar bypassing of local, city and regional feader-ship levels by members with compUants.
Under Hoffa’s decade at the Teamsters helm, sources said, members were encouraged 4o-report problems directly ‘to the fop man.
This undermined the auta oif of-ficials at lower command levels — but kept Hoffa in personal contact with members throughout toe 1.8-million-member union.
AGREEMENT THURSDAY
The new agreement reportedly was readied Thursday In Chicago, with ‘the Teamsters general vice president, Frank Fitzririunons. Hoffa’s handpicked successor, reportedly taking part.
Hoffa still holds the title of president, but Fitzsimmons- is occupying his office.
“Fitzsimmons feels the office of the general president can’t deal with aU proMems,” one high-placed Teamster sourbe said.
The agreement is said to indude the threat of disciplinary action against any member who tries to “short-circuit” the chain of command.

LOOK FOR ANSWERS Kennedy, who was introduced by Sen. t Philip A. Hart of Michigan, said' that, in his travels, he finds people are “groping for answers to problems they barely understand; searching for a purpose in the midst of baffling change, confusion and danger.
“We are losing foe young to extreme movementt or public indifference — for - their fears and expectations have no answers in the politics of the past.”
The older generation, said Kennedy, are turning away toward conservative movements because they lack confidence In their ability to protect the future and are “hoping at least to protect what they alrernty have.”
As countermeasure, Kennedy said, file party must find ways to liberate and enhance theimportance of individual lives and action, “to protect ourselves against the giant organizations — sprawling government bureaucracies, huge impeiv sonal corporations, and universities as big as cities — which threaten to overwhelm and obliterate the importance and value of individual man.”

“To provide parking for 20,000 cars as-* we propose, would cost another $26 to $30 million,” he
noted.	.•	' _____
Glancy’s proposal calls for 10,000 parking spaces on a deck which forms a collar around his stadium, and another 10,000 in surface lots around the stadium.
“As we see it now, financing construction would have to come through issuance of revenue-type bonds. In other words, the bond issue would have to stand on its own two feet.
NO POSSIBILITY
“We couldn’t expect it to be paid through any general obligation tax levied at the state, county or city leveL” _
While Glancy sees no possibility of financ-
----ing through additional taxes, he is realistic. He
doesn’t claim his stadium alone will create efiough revenue to pay off the bonds.
“It will obviously take a form of subsidy,” he commented. “We’re working closely on this with state legislators.”

That’s where Law’s proposal for a horse racing stadium comes into the picture.
ENOUGH REVENUE
track would commence when the the other area racetracks.
He figures this would give the indoor facility a potential of 142 days thoroughbred racing and 71 days for harness racing.
He states his fiscal case thiisly:
“In 1965 the average daily revenue to the state from thoroughbred racing at Hazel Park Race Track waa $80,354_AL142 days this would total $11,410,268.

“The same year, Wolverine Harness Raceway produced an average income of $21,484 per day to the state. At 71 days this would amount to $1,525,364,” Law said.
SEEMS FEASIBLE
“Therefore, based on the actual revenue from other tracks, it would seem, feasible to estimate that indoor thoroughbred and harness racing at the fairgrounds could clear at least $9 to $10 million annually for bond payments.
Law figures that an $80-million bond issue to cover construction of his indoor track
ARTHUR J. LAW
Although there is a gap between their respective cost estimates, Law feels a racing facility would be able to produce enough revenue to cover the cost of his and Glancy’s proposed structures.
. “If a sports stadium could pay for itself, we wouldn't have to think about anything else,” «aid Law “Rut it’s just not feasible to expect a sports stadium would pay for itself.
“So our job is one of trying to raise monies for a recreational complex from other sources to supplement revenues generated by the stadium facility.

Law, who has previously proposed greyhound racing as a means to raise money to build a rec-reation complex, now feels horse racing is the best answer.
CURRENT LIMITATIONS The thoroughbred and harness racing seasons in Michigan are currently limited, primarily to good-weather months.	.	*
Law proposes that the state construct an indoor track at the fairgrounds for both thoroughbred and harness racing, and then lift' limits on the racing season to allow indoor racing at the new building. .
Prior to this move, the ban on both horse racing and sale of alcoholic beverages at the fairgrounds would have to be eliminated, Law said.

He has introduced two House bills this year to do this. Both are still in committee.
LAW’S PLAN
Under Law’s plan, racing at the new indoor

and Glancy’s stadium would require slightly over $5 million annually to retire the bonds.
“As you can see,” he said, ^e estimated'revenue produced by indoor racing would easily cover the bond requirements with plenty to spare.” —-A- —★ ★ ■	•
It might take more than $80 million if both Law’s and Glancy’s current cost estimates hold up. Law estimates his indoor track would cost $40 to $45 million.
$110 MILLION
Added to Glancy’s cost figures, this wouldprob-ablv require a long-term bond issue in the neighborhood of $110 million.
If Law’s estimates for revenue prove accurate, it is conceivable that the indoor racing would still produce enough to cover such a bond issue.
“After all, Law added, “my revenue estimates don’t include any lease revenues whidi would be received from use of Mr. Glancy’s stadium.”
..... ★ ★ ★ .
TRere afer several loopholes in “the financing.
SIMILAR FACILITIES .
First, would other tracks in the area be content to keep operating a limited season, thus assuring' business at the new indoor track?
Or, if the limits were lifted, would other outdoor tracks expand, build similar indoor racing facilities and become stiff competition for indoor racing at the fairgrounds?
“This is a possibility,” Law said. “We know
Drawing pf I
there’s a market for winter racing. Look at the success of the new Windsor Raceway last winter.
...
“We estimate 75 to 90 per cent of the money wagered in Windsor was from Micfftgan residents. One of our biggest problems will be getting cooperation of the other tracks.”
CONTROVERSIAL MATTER Then there’s the fact that betting on horses is a controversial matter, not to mention the sale of alcoholic beverages at the fairgrounds.
Would Law’s proposal be too hot to handle politically?
Gov. Romney’s signature even if it did pass the House and Senate?
★ ★ ★
“It’s controversial, yes, but necessary,” Law said. “Gov. Romney should not let personal con-vietions stand in the way of recreational develop-ment for the state.
‘MUST BE REALISTIC’
“We must be realistic. This would be a great asset to Detroit and the entire state, and an indoor -race track will make the money to do the job without taking a penny from the taxpayers’ pockets.”
Behlen Manufacturing Co. of Columbus, Neb., has given Law plans and drawings for an arena-type stadium.
It would cost an estimated $32.7 million to build and another $10 to $13 million to equip for horse racing, according to Law.

PRELIMINARY PLANS Preliminary plans provide parking for at least
28,000	cars on ground level lots around the indoor track.
Glancy, on the other hand, is against excessive ground-level parking for his domed stadium.
“Parking is a major problem,” Glancy noted. “We’re proposing 10,000 spaces on a deck around the stadium and 10,000 on the flat.
★ ■ ★ ★
“In Houston they put 21,000 on the flat and found some people wouldn’t walk from peripheral parking spaces.
WALKING DISTANCE
“Therefore, especially in our climate, we feel it is important to limit the walking distance from
car to stadium.”	_________________ ;
Glancy is sold on the 160-acre fairgrounds as the best site for any sport and recreation complex.
“There are very few cities with a tract of that sort inside the city limits. Its primary function is to house the state fair once a year.
★ ★ ★
“It’s a crime it’s sitting therelargely unused the rest of the year. Our whole effort is toward seeing development to put it on a year-round basis.”
‘RIGHTPLACE’
Glancy describes 80 undeveloped acres of the fairgrounds as “a poor parking area at best . . . begging for development.
“I sincerely feel the fairgrounds is the place for a new stadium development,” he said. “One advantage is that it’s free.
“By "that, I mean, there would be no land acquisition cost because it’s already state-owned land.
“Another plus factor is its location. It’s a central place for southeastern Michigan.”
-JEASILY ACCESSIBLE
v Glancy also pointed to the fairgrounds as easily
accessible via freeways, Woodward Avenue and Grarid~Truflk Western Railroad.
What would Glaney’s stadium be designed to accommodate?
“Pro football can’t get enough people on the sidelines,” said Glancy. “Baseball people, on the other hand, say they can’t use a stadium much over
50,000	seats.
★ ★ ★
.“They want the maximum number of people between third and home and first and .home.
ROUGH IDEA
“Our rough proposal is for 63,000 seats for baseball, expanded to 67,000 for football. By putting seats on the field we could expand to about 88,000 for other types of entertainment.”
Glancy feels a domed stadium is mare feasible than an open stadium.
“If you were building any modern structure nowadays, unless it is air-conditioned and protected with the elements you’re starting with an obsolete structure.
★ ★ ★
“In this climate there’s no question you’ve got to consider a domed stadium. A dome also means we could afford to install really comfortable theater-style seats.”	i
NOT THE ANSWER
However, he doesn’t think a retractable dome is a good idea because even with it open, you don’t have the equivalent of an open stadium and every-time the dome is retracted, it creates serious problems with the air-conditioning and heating.
“Controlling the air is where the costs are. Even with a domed stadium, controlling this huge expanse of air from a humidity standpoint is a big job.”
. Glancy said the stadium would be designed to handle the Olympic games, should Detroit ever land an Olympic bid.
★ ★ ★
Does he feel there is a need for such a stadium in the Detroit area?
NO NEGATIVE VOTES
“Definitely. Other big cities have built them and succeeded,” he noted. “There’s not a major urban area in the U.S. I know of that hasn’t built a new, modern sports and recreation facility in recent years.”
What about the people. Do they want a new stadium? ____________
“We’ve, made our presentation to many groups ranging from the OIympics to state legisTafive committees. We have yet to receive a negative vote,” he said.___
.. ★ ★ ★
Glancy said his group had no firm commitments from any prospective users of a stadium facility, such as the Lions and Tigers, but that his group has had “friendly discussions with several interested groups.”
HOW LONG?
How long would it take to build such a stadium if you started today?	«
“We’re probably talking >a b 0 u t 24 to 30 months,” he replied. “It would require about 12 months To develop plans, drawingvetc,, and another six months to prepare for bids. Then, it would take approximately a year to build the stadium.”
