General Douglas Nc Arthur
and his staff flew to South
Korea yesterday to see condi-
tions first hand. He conferred
with President Rhee, who had
had anarrow escape from com
munist attackers.
The General said he was
masking a firsthand observa-
ton of the war. The Supreme
Commander flew from Toxic
in his unarmed plane Bataan'
in rain and overcast skies, so
bad meteorologists advised
against the flight. All force
pilots escorted the "Bataan''
although no communist fight
ers were sighted.
Nc Arthur looked fresh and
vigorous, according to news
reports, as he stepped from his
plane with his famous gold
braided cap, open shirt and
khaki trousers, same type he
wore when he visited the
southwest Pacific front during
the last war. The 70 year-old
general said the purpose of his
trip was two-fold-to enable

Court Holds Fate
OF 'BubbIe-Gum'
Fund Left to Kids

of 400 children at John Kerr pub
| lie school. For the children are
hoping the court will return to them
the $S5,00O ''bubble-gum trust"
left them by "Old Man Henry"
They were disinherited under
ruling of a corporation court judge
who ruled that the strange bequest
of the late Charles B. Henry was
invalid. The judge awarded the
estate to Henry's relatives.
When Henry, an 80-year-old curb
side merchant, died he specified
in his will that the income from his
estate should be divided each
Christmas and Easter among the
John Kerr pupils.
He wanted them to spend it as
they chose-on bubble gum or
toys" or otherwise. He just wanted
them to remember old man
Henry" Each child would have re-
ceived under the bequest between
SIS and $40 year.
The lower court judge ruled that
the trust fund was not a charitable
trust, that it did not provide for
educating the children, and that the
net effect would be to tie up Henry's
estate for all time Thus, he said,
it violated the rule against the crea-
tion of perpetuities.

Valley National bank, trustee said.

appeal the decision to the Virginia

LITTLE WHITE HOUSE
People Flock
ToFDRHome

WARM SPRINGS, GA.-The "lit
tie White House." here where the
late Franklin D. Roosevelt spent 81
many happy hours and where ulti
mately ne died, is being kept JUS
as it was when he used to viSi
there.
Visitors to the shrine want most
to see the chair in which the late
President was sitting when he was
stricken and the bed IN which he
died.
And they are there, the bed and
chair, just as is everything else,
exactly as they were on that April
IL, 1945, when Franklin Delano
Roosevelt died.
On October %, l948, the little
White House." a small frame cot
tage deep in Georgia's pine woods,
was opened to the public. Since
then, more than 100000 persons,
from every state and 38 foreign
countries, have visited the cottage.
Between 1000 and 5000 come every
week.
Not Built for Home
The little White House" was not
built as permanent home, or as a
showplace. FDR planned it as a
quiet hideway retreat. The cottage
is not on any main route of travel.
Seventy-five miles from Atlanta, it
is reached by winding trail
through the wood, mile or so off
the highway.
Immediately after Mr.. Roosevelt's
death, people began to visit the
site, though the house was closed
and guarded. They came by the
hundreds.
+ commission was created to es-
tablish the little White House" as
public memorial. Guards kept
visitors behind fence as the work
of restoring the house began. Wis
itors could see the house, but
couldn't go inside.
New timbers were placed under
floors to support them. Guide ropes
were set up around furniture. Some
objects were put under glass for
protection. But everything was left
just as it was the day Mr.! Roose-
welt died. The chair in which he
was sitting to have his portrait |
painted is in the same spot. His |
desk is near by. Ship models are
on the mantel.
Gift House
Near the little White House. is |
a two room cottage which Mrs.
used to store gifts. When
members of the commission un-
locked it and dug through the dust,
they found 165 walking canes.
There were also paintings, small
objects of art, books and other
sorts Of things people send presi-
dents.
The commission arranged the cot
tage as a museum. The 165 walking
canes are still there. So are gifts to
he memorial from Great Britain,
Australia, the Netherlands and
Several states also
nave sent exhibits.

TNHE citizens committee of a city of about
Il 100000 people had just presented its
report on local school needs. Classrooms were
overcrowded; buildings had deteriorated;
worn staircases had caused accidents.
A citizen spoke up: Il just can't believe
it. My five youngsters have gone through
these schools, and never knew how bad
things were. It's no use trying to blame any
body either; after all, could have done some
thing about it and l didn't bother to look
This is not an isolated example. All over
the country citizens have had the comfortable
feeling that somebody" would take care of
all problems. Wasn't the old neighborhood
school pretty adequate some 80 years ago?
And don't the white pillars of the new" high
school - well, new 20 years ago - appear
impressively solid?
But today danger signals warn that such
passive dissatisfaction has been myth. To-
day. citizens are discovering they can do some
thing about our greatest public venture, with
help from new organization.
The National Citizens Commission for the
Public Schools was specifically designed to
give such assistance, and community after

teachers. Then, one morning he sees the
headline: TEACHERS ON STRIKE. He is shocked
when he learns that some teachers work
as bartenders at night to make ends meet.
Students, seeing little action to improve
conditions, are turning their backs on
teaching courses. There is need for 900
new grade-school teachers; in 1949 only 600
were training.
People may think of New Haven, home of
Yale University, as an educational capital.
But little over year ago in New Haven's
public schools textbooks were so scarce that
children had to double up to use them. Art
teachers carried water to their rooms in pals.
No Reading ON Dark Days
lHEsE shortages weren't surprising; until
about four years ago the citizens had per-
mitted a political administration to run
things without interference" As result
not a single school was built in 20 years. A
non-partisan survey group told the new mayor
that out of "a elementary schools % were
rated poor" or very poor"
Nor is this exceptional Mothers in one
wealthy Eastern city recently found that
lighting in some schools was so bad that read
ing and writing had to be skipped on dark
winter days. New Workers were startled this
year when THE New York Herald Tribune"
showed grade-school pupils lining up outside
their school while THE first shift" was filing
out to go home.
School boards and superintendents fighting
against such conditions, can no longer do the
citizens job for him. They need his help.
They're just beginning to get it in hundreds
of communities. In Bridgeport, Conn.,, vol
