his commander in chief.
Col Harry H. Vaughan, President
Truman's military aide, recalled to
reporters that Mr. Truman pleaded
with the Army Chief of Staff for an

This is a young mans war" Col.
Vaughan quoted Gen. Marshall as
saying. I'VE haven't any use for

New Par|eys 10 Seek
Means for Opening
Recreation Buildings

What to do about putting to use
three recreation buildings built
months ago for war workers occupy
ing three Federal housing develop
ments-Parkside, Syphax and High
lands-had officials Of several Dis
trict and United States agencies
stumped today.
While further conferences were In
prospect, there was no immediate
indication that any funds would be
availab BILE to provide the personnel
needed to supervise the recreation
programs planned for each of the
developments. The buildings were
completed and equipped from six
months to year ago. Thus far
they have been used only for occa-
sional community meetings, but
hardly at all for their principal
purpose.
The Federal Works Agency, to
which the Commissioners and the
District Recreation Board turned
for funds under the Lanham Act,
disapproved the request, holding that
Lanham funds were limited to COM
munities which had no recreational
facilities at all and were not avail
able for a city which had many. No
funds for such purpose were pro-
vided in the District appropriation
or from any other source, the Com
missioners pointed out.
1t will cost an estimated $4,000
month to operate the three recrea-
ton buildings with the recreational
directors and other personnel held

funds to pay for custodial care and
utilities only.
