Edward S. Gruson, assistant to the President for Community Affairs, said yesterday, "The Stadium is not closed specifically to Summerthing.

Hicks sent a similar letter on Oct. 13, but Gruson said that it was not answer-ed because of his hospitalization at the time. Gruson added that his assistant, Donald G. Moulton, was not familiar with the Roxbury area, and therefore was unable to answer the letter properly...
