An estimated TOO students

tivities.
AS the first foray against City

converging on the scene from vari-
Gus parts of the city.

At some schools, in Brooklyn
and elsewhere, school yard demon

students inside.
At Foley Square - the major
storm center and around which
are situated most of Manhattan S

the student throng was forced
back several blocks west to Broad
way and north to Worth street.
One student was arrested for pull
ing a horses tail.
Police sought to single out lead
ers-particularly those carrying
placards-and chase them out of
the square. AS some groups were
sent fleeing, other platoons formed
and tried to move back into the
square.

Truman S Endorsement
Lends Impetus 10 Rise
IN Defense Spending
President Approves
Request for Funds to
Meet Force of Events
By John A. Giles

Congressional plans for increas-
ing defense funds moved closer
toward reality today as a result
of President Truman's outspoken
approval.
The President told a news con-
ference yesterday that he favored
extension of the draft law and
that he had approved Defense
Secretary Johnsons statement
that the "force of events" re-
quired more military spending.
Mr.. johnson used that phrase
Wednesday in asking Congress for
$3.50 million more for the defense
establishment, chiefly for air
planes.
Economy Drive All But Shelved.
The Secretary's plea all but
shelved the economy drive in Con-
gress and caused some legislators.
previously opposed to continuing
the draft beyond June "a, to
change their minds. The House
is to debate the Interior Depart
ment section of the omnibus ap-
preparation bill next and is ex-
pected to take up the defense sec
ton. with Appropriations Com
mittee-approved a m n d m n t S
calling for additional funds, next
week.
| Mr.. Truman said that he had
read and approved Mr.. Johnson S
statement in advance. But other
wise, he had no comment on the
international situation and he
turned aside a series of questions
on Russia.
Meanwhile, Admiral Forrest P
Sherman. the Chief of Naval
Operations, continued testimony
before the House Armed Services
Committee on the Navy's ship
building plans. The admiral yes
terday put in a cautious plug for
a super aircraft carrier like the
one Mr.. johnson scuttled last fall
after it's keel had been laid.
Every Large and Costly"
The admiral said that he be-
1ieved it would be necessary to
build the giant carriers "in the
long run" He added that it would
be a very large and costly pro-
gram" but that such vessels would
be needed to handle future jet
fighters and bombers.
The admiral testified yesterday
on how the Navy proposes to spend
the extra funds sought for it by
Mr.. johnson.
A total of $l00 million in con-
tractual authority would be ear
marked for aircraft procurement
and $50 million In cash for anti
submarine activities.
The admiral said that the de-
partment did not propose to buy
any jet airplanes which could not
be operated from the present car
riers, such as the 45,000-ton Mid
way class. He added that eventu-
ally the present-day fiat,tops
weuld have to be replaced by large

The action was effective imme-
diately.
The cabinet gave no indication
who Joliot- Curie's successor would
be.
France has a small atomic pile
in operation. Government Off
cials repeatedly have stated that
France is not trying to develop
atom bombs, but is experimenting
with atomic energy for peaceful
uses.
Joliot- -Curie, in his capacity as
Frances atomic research boss
witnessed the American atomic
explosions at Bikini in 1946.
Assailed by Leaders, Papers.
Center and right wing leaders
and newspapers have been de.
manding his custer ever since
Joliot- -Curie made his statement tt
the 18th National Congress of the
French Communist Party early
this month.
This was assailed by the non.
1eftist press as sentiment which
should disqualify Joliot-Curi'
from holding such a vital posi-
ton. Socialist newspapers alst
attacked the scientists statement
at the time, although they did no
specifically demand his custer.
The 50-year-old scientist, No
bel Prize winner in chemistry il
1885, was appointed in 1916 b.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, thel
President, to head the Frencl
Atomic Energy Commission.
Since that time Joliot- Curie'
name frequently has been associ
ated with Communist activities
Late last year he attended tn
Rome meeting of the pro-Sovie
peace partisans, which spearhead

peace congress. Shortly there
after he visited Moscow.
Defended Soviet Union.
The scientists speeches invar
iably defended the position of tn
Soviet Union in the postwar dip
lomatic struggle. His comment
at CommuniSt-Sponsored meeting
caused a broad section of Frencl
opinion to attack him as untrust
worthy in his post.
An able scientist, Joliot- Curl
at the age of Is was an assistan
to Nine. Marie Curie, co-discov
erer of radium, in the French ra
dium institute. He collaborate
with her in research on radio

In 1925 he married Irene Curit
Marie Curie's daughter and as

the Prix Marquet, prizes awarde
by the Academy of Science. Late
he was named to the researcI

time he became secretary of tn

member of the Internatione

Given By Frear
Senator Urges Celebration with
Deep Feeling, Reflective Spirit
Because OF War

Senator ]. Allen Frear, Jr., this
week called for a celebration OF
the Christmas holiday with the
deep feeling and reflective spirit
which it properly commands"
In paying tribute to the approach
ing Yuletide, the Senator observed
that although Christmas is tradi-
tionally time of happiness, this
particular one will, for many peo-
pie, be celebrated with mixed feel
ings and emotions. Because Of the
spectre of war; hanging over us.
he said, the memory Of those who
have given their lives will be esDe-
cially keen.
In preparing for the season at
hand, our thoughts should proper-
" turn to the memory OF those who
have given their lives for that
which Christmas symbolizes-Peace
on Earth. 1t is ironic to speak OF
Peace when there is none, nor does
the pattern Of events now before
us give much assurance for a set
tlement of the conflict in the near
future. But, as long as there re-
mains the slimmest chance Of hon
orably ending the present struggle.
we must still have hope" Senator
Frear said.
.4e pointed out that many felt
that possibility of a settlement
Of differences without recourse to
arms existed at the beginning of
the year, but that the brutal and
aggression" in Korea
unmasked the true enemy. In the
face Of a full emergency, he called
for a truly religious celebration Of
the birth of Christ.
1t is in our churches and in our
homes that the truest benefits Of
the day are derived" the Senator
said, voieing the hope that every
one, regardless of race or creed.
would join in a common plea to
Divine Providence that "the COM
ing of this Christmas will bring an
understanding to those who blind-
ly seek the destruction of their fell
lOwmen."
Senator Frear concluded by re-
marking that in America, good tid-
ings and the spirit of giving helm
to personify the Yuletide. "Let us
hope that this spirit can be ex-
tended to all mankind before we
celebrate the next Christmas" he
added.
