Second Increase in FL Years.
Mr.. Root said the increase
would be the second in golf fees
here in the 27 years that Mr..
Leoffler has been operating the
courses for the Interior Depart
ment. Even with the new rates,
he added, the golf fees will be
the lowest in the United States.
Mr.. Wender said the increased
rates would be effective only
through next January /. BY that
time, it might be possible that
Mr.. Leoffler could recoup some
of his losses and possibly make
small profit to be applied against
his Fort Dupont advances.
He said Mr.. Leoffler told board
members during discussions OF
the increase that he, Mr.. Leof1er
was interested in the golf courses
now only to get his money back. u
and that he wanted to get out.
Asked for Boost Last Year.
Although there is some con-
fusion over whether Mr.. Leoff1er
owes the Government money o,
the Government owes him. MIR
Wender said he felt the Interior
Department had a clear obligation
to allow Mr.. Leoffler to get back
the money he advanced for Fort
Dupont because it had promised
him he could do SO.
Mr.. Wender said the Recreation
Board was interested in taking
over the courses from Mr.. Leoffler
as soon as his financial affairs
with the Interior Department were
straight.
Mr.. Leoffler asked for the in
creased rates last year even before
his old contract expired, Mr..
Wender explained. His desire for
increased rates now is based on the
fact that they would cut his pend
ing losses for this year. he added

The fees at the miniature golf
courses will remain at 35 cents.
The Recreation Board gave its
approval to the Interior Depart
ment's proposal to allow S. G
Leoff1er, who operates the courses
for the Federal agency. to charge
the higher rates.
Harry S. Wender. Recreation
Board chairman, explained at a
board meeting today that although
the public golf courses are still
completely under the control of
/ the Interior Department. the
board came into the picture OIL
the fee increase because of the
recently-signed basic agreement
between the board and the Interior
Department. "~ s@ -
Provisions Of Agreement.
Under the agreement, the Rec
reation Board eventually will take
over operation of the golf courses
from Mr.. Leoffler as soon as a
separate agreement suitable to all
parties can be negotiated. In tho
meantime, under the agreement,
the Interior Department can
make no changes in its relations
with concessionaires until it con-
suits with the Recreation Board.
Mr.. Wender said the Interior
Department asked the board for
it's recommendations on the in
crease in golf fees and that the
board agreed that Mr.. Ieoff1er
should have the boost. He said
that audit reports showed Mr.
Leoffler had lost more than $19.-
800 during the first six months OF
1949. He added that the board
was convcinced Mr.. Leoff1er S,'f-
fered a definite loss and was will
ing to concur in the increase with
one proviso.
To Be Reimbursed.
That proviso, he explained, was
that any profits which Mr.. Leof1er
might make as a result of the
increase would be used to pay
him back for the money he ad-
vanced to the Interior Depart
ment last year to construct the
club house at the Fort Dupont
golf course.
Irving C. Root. superintendent
of the National Capital Parks
and the Interior Department s
representative on the Recreation
Board, pointed out that Mr.
Leoffler advance around 100000
to construct the Fort Dupont golf
course and club house and that
the Interior Department lad
promised him he would be repaid
out of profits in the following
years.

Commission Warns
u. n. on Danger Of
Civil War in Korea
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 8.-The
United Nations Korean Commis-
sion said today "barbarous civil
war" might explode in Korea any
day as result of the hardening"
relations between north and south.
The commission frankly told the
General Assembly that two years
of U. N. efforts had failed to ease
the conflict between the Commu-
nist-dominated northern zone and
the Republican government in the
south.
Serious Danger Seen.
In its 34-page annual report
1t said:
THE embittered propaganda
and hostile activities which now
mark relations between the two
parts of Korea render the pros
pect of unification more and more
remote"
On the contrary, the commits
sion said, the two zones are en-
gagged in a bitter arms race and
there is much military posturing
on both sides" of the 38th parallel,
which separates the two zones.
This holds a serious danger of
provoking open military conflict"
the report said. Military con-
f1ict in Korea would mean the
most barbarous civil war"
Failure to Reach Accord.
The worsening situation was
blamed primarily on the failure
of the United States and Russia
to reach an accord on Korea and
on the refusal of Russia and the
Northern Korean regime to deal
with the commission. The re-
port said, however, that part of
the trouble lay in the failure of
the republican government to CO.
operate fully.
The commission was particular
ly critical of Russia for boycotting
U. N. peace efforts, for lending
"countenence to northern leaders
In bellicose utterances" and re-
fusing to consider ways of adjust
