Atlanta penitentiary, where he Is
serving four to IL years on charge
of revealing national defense sec.
rets to Japanese, John S. Farms
worth former United States naval

taken here Monday, it was learned
today.
Farnsworth has secured a writ Of
habeas corpus from Federal Judge
E. Marvin Underwood of the Dis.

for the taking of the dispositions.
AS now planned, they will include
those from Attorney Richard L.

Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
trict Court, who presided at the
proceedings which resulted in
Farnsworth's sentencing.

ernment here will be Assistant

In his latest petition Farnsworth
raises several additional points. 1t
will be his third habeas corpus
proceeding. He also carried his
fight to the Supreme Court, which
last year denied him a writ of
certiorari to review previous court
decisions unfavorable to him.
Previous writs of habeas corpus
were discharged and Farnsworth
was remanded to the penitentiary.

BY RUDOLPH KAUFFMANN, II.
An expanded C. c. C. program for
the development of active recrea-
tional areas in the District which
may place Washington on a par
with other American cities in regard
to community recreational facili-
ties was announced today by In
terror Secretary Harold Ickes.
Erection of shelters and COM
munity buildings by c. C. c. camps
detailed to the Office of National
Capital Parks will be started by
next fall, Secretary Ickes an
nounced.
Areas on which the C. c. c. en-
rollees are to concentrate their
work in the future are those des.
ignated among various playground
school and park properties as COM
prising the District recreation sys.
tenn.
At the present time approx.
mately $l65 900 worth of c. c. C
work is going forward in these
areas in a series of projects in
stituted since the transfer of C.
Marshall Finnan, former superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks
to the superintendency of Zion and
Bryce Canyon National, Parks in
Utah.
The present program, National
Park Service officials said today, is
more than twice as extensive.
Ready for Use by Summer.
According to Secretary Ickes' an
nouncement many areas in the rec
reation system will now be develop
ed to stage where they will be
usable during the coming sum-
mer. Among those on which all IA
cilities, with the exception of ap-
propriate structures, will be COM
pleted by summer are Chevy Chase
Lafayette SCHOOL, Recreation
Center, Taft Recreation Center
Howard Playground, Takoma Rec
reation Center, Banneker Recrea-
ton Center, Rose Park Playground
and Turkey Thicket Playground.
Until recently maintenance and
work on naturalistic areas had
been the major part of the work
done by the five c. c. c. camps
assigned to the Once of National
Capital Parks, Secretary Ickes'
statement said.
For instance, the enrollees had
been sodding the Washington
Monument Grounds, cleaning up
trash and pruning in the planted
areas along the Mt. Vernon Me-
mortal Highway, maintaining open
air sheds and comfort stations and
cleaning up flood damage. Man.
power has been scattered as enrollees
in small squads kept up rather than
developed the Washington park
system

expressing CNe nope tnaC Con-
gress will restore or otherwise pro-
vide the necessary funds for three
New Deal agencies knocked out of
the independent Offices appropria-
ton BILL President Roosevelt spoke
a carefully worded and detailed de-
tense of each Of the bureaus at his
press conference today.
Involved are the National Re-
sources Planning Board. the Office
of Government Reports and the
Council of Personnel Administra-
ton. Their total supply needs for
the fiscal year of 194l were esti-
mated at about $2,150.0O0. all of
which was deleted from the appro-
priation measure.
In addition the House slashed
$75, 900 900 from the Maritime Com
missions shipbullding authorize
ton. Today the President said he
had not yet discussed the full I'M
plications of the maritime cut with
the commission but that he con-
sidered the other proposed savings
SO small as to be far outweighed by
the value of the agencies involved
Uniform Jobs Policy Sought.
For instance, he said, the Council
Of Personnel Administration. asking
less than $4,000 for a full years
operation, is creating a uniform
employment policy in Government
and aiming at operation of merit
system rather than one based on
patronage and pulchritude.
Headed by q former Republican
Representative from New York
State. Fred Davenport, the council
brings together all the Government
personnel officers, about Is in num-
ber, for co-ordinated and co-opera-
tive employment policies.
At considerable length the Presi-
dent likewise discussed the Ma
tional Resources Planning Board,
originally down for an appropriation
of $1,000, 900, and disclosed that one
OF its major projects at the mo-
ment IS planning preliminary to the
settlement of the Columbia Basin in
the Pacific Northwest. When the
Grand Coulee Dam project is COM
pleted, he explained, irrigated land
will be available for some 100000
families, an estimated total of $780,
600 persons.
The new settlement of so many
people in such great territory cam
not wisely be permitted without pre-
liminary planning of their needs
and occupation, he continued, with
advance consideration being given
to whether there should be a COM
bination of agriculture and industry,
what lines of each, and 50 forth.
No Department Seen Qualified.
No single regular department of
the Government is qualified to map
such an extensive project, with all
its economic and social aspects, he
said, whereas one agency like the
Planning Board can call on all
Government information and devote
itself to shaping up comprehensive
picture.
Millions of dollars in savings and
in improved economy would result
from such planning, he insisted.
Similar planning may be applied to
other developing sections of the
country, he said.
OF the Once of Government Re-
ports, asking 81 ,055 900, the President
remarked that its most devoted
users are members of Congress. In
any event, he added, the voluminous
reports available to the Government
must be co-ordinated to be of real
value.

HELSINKI, Jan. 19.-Helsinki's S

shelters this afternoon while anti
aircraft batteries fought of Soviet
raiding planes. !
Fragmentary reports indicated
that the attackers failed to reach
the city, but dropped bombs short
distance outside. Fires were visible
in the distance.
Detonations were heard at the
United States Legation at Gran

Nevertheless the workers are Or

and Finnish skiiers, Soviet Russia S
Salla army-heretofore the most
successful of the war-was reported
fighting a fierce battle today at
Markajarvi to protect the retreat
of 10000 men toward the Russian

Whether the main body of Russians
was engaged was not clear.
The terse Finnish communique
said, "Our troops have advanced As

Deepest Drive Into Finland.
1t was in this sector that the
Russians drove deepest into Fin

from the railhead of Kemijarvi,

their immediate objective.
Finnish ski patrols, repeatedly cut
