Expected Storm Slows;
Rain Due Tomorrow

A storm which was expected to
bring cold rain and snow to the
Washington area late today has
slowed its eastward approach and
nothing worse than rain is fore
cast for late tomorrow.
For today, the Weather Bureau
expects increasing cloudiness this
afternoon and tonight with a high
temperature of about so degrees
and a low tonight of about 35.
Tomorrow cloudy weather is fore
cast with some rain likely late in
the day and a high temperature
in the mid-40's.
The mercury hit high of 46
yesterday and a low of 80 last
night.
The storm, heading this way
may still bring snow before the
week is up, the Weather Bureau
warned. 1t was centerd in the
central Gulf of Mexico today and
was causing snow in the Middle
and Southwest.
Meanwhile, the Potomac River
which has been rising rapidly due
to recent rain and snow here and
upstream, reached a crest of 1873
feet at 5 am. today at the gauge
above Chain Bridge and was be-
ginning to recede. Ten feet is
flood level at that point, but
weather observers reported no
serious damage from the high
water.
The water level was dropping
slowly this morning and was ex-
pected to increase it's rate of de-
cline this afternoon and tonight.
The weather man thinks the river
will be able to absorb tomorrow's
rain, if it materializes. without any
difficulty.

NEW DELHI, India, Dec. g.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
today stated in Parliament that
India had tried to settle the Ko-
rean dispute by suggesting a
cease-f1re and establishment of a
demilitarized zone.
In a review Of his governments

India proposal was to be followed
by negotiations in which Red
China would be a participant. He
did not make clear when the In
dian plan was advanced. Evident
ly it referred to the period before
the U. N. forces advanced toward
the Manchurian border.
The governments policy was
criticized by several members of
Parliament who followed Mr.,
Nehru. They warned the gov

Capital Park System
Acquires 1,148-Acre
Tract at GreenbeIt
Area Sought for 6 Years
To Be Developed; Public
Golf Course Planned
By Nelson M. Shepard

A six-year desire of Federal
park officials to annex 1,148 un-
developed acres of the nearby
Greenbelt tract to Washington's
regional and recreational system
was realized today
Secretary of the Interior Chap
man disclosed the end of the ne.
gotiations by announcing the
transfer of the Maryland tract
from the Public Housing Admin
istration. 1t is one of the larges
additions to the National Capita
Parks system in recent years.
The transfer Of jurisdiction was
made late yesterday by John T
Egan. commissioner of public
housing, at the request of the In
terror Department. Park officials
here had proposed its development
as an important recreational unit
adjacent to the Baltimore-Wash
ington parkway now under con-
struction.
Negotiations with the PIIA were
fastened last spring when park
officials learned the housing
agency was considering ways of
expediting the disposal of the
Greenbelt housing development,
one of the earliest "Greenbelt"
projects of the Roosevelt New
Deal.
Transfer Involves No Cost.
Edward J. Kelly. superintendent
of National Capital Parks, was
enthusiastic today over the culmi-
nation of the deal by which the
park officials obtain control over
one of the largest areas for flu
ture development in close prox-
unity to Washington.
The recent Baltimore Washing
ton Parkway Act made possible
the transfer of this part of the
Greenbelt tract without cost to
the Interior Department. This
was through a clause authorizing
one Federal agency to exchange
lands or to transfer lands to an
other.
One of the first projects pro-
posed in connection with future
development of the tract, Mr
Kelly said. is an 18-hole public
golf course.
The new park, tentatively called
Greenbelt Park, is located in
Prince Georges County, adjacent
to and east of the town of Green
belt. 1t is about 5 miles northeast
of the District boundary line.
Its acquisition brings the tota
acreage of the National Capita.
Park system to 45,254 acres. Mr.
Kelly suggested that it is "one o1
the largest metropolitan regiona
park systems in the world"

He also detailed what he said
was the organizational setup Of
the Communist Party here. He
named about a dozen branches or

however, that he could not recall
knowing any Government en-
ploye who belonged to any such
unit. #
Up to the noon adjournment,
Thomas had not yet disclosed the
sensational" information WI lch
committee sources indicated he
would produce at the open hearing.
Appeared Before.
Thomas, it was learned. ap-
peared twice recently at closed
sessions of the committee. Yes
terday, on the second occasion. he
repeatedly agreed to cooperate
and to talk freely in an effort
to save himself from possible
prosecution for previous state
ments involving a Taft-Hartley
nom Communist affidavit. as well
as earlier testimony before the
House committee.
The Communist activities in
schools here, Thomas declared.
were under the immediate direc-
ton of the Young Communist
League
He said he was active in the
league from 1898 until he entered
the Army in 1943. 1t had three
main branches in the District,
the Tom Paine branch, the white
collar branch and the student
branch.
The student branch, he ex-
planned, was broken down into
several units which operated in
the schools themselves. One Of
the units included high school
pupils over Is years old. Thomas
said he did not know its total
membership but had been reliably
informed that the cell" at the old
Central High School in 1889 had
only two or three members.
Other Student Units.
There was another student
branch which included several
members from George Washington
University, American University
and Howard University. Thomas
was unable to provide any mem
berShip totals.
THE Communist Party also had
other branches including super
super secret units in Government
that a guy like me wasn't even
supposed to mention" Thomas
continued. Among the various
branches that operated from time
to time were the Georgetown,
Southwest, Petworth, Southeast,
Stanton Park, West End, Thomas
Jefferson and Frederick Douglas.
Thomas added that a so-called
unit No. l consisted mostly of Ne
groes living in midtown Wash

1889 through 1941 was to wage a
