Macarthur Returns
Liberated Seoul 10
Rhee in Simple Rites
Leeds Crowd in Soyine
Lords Prayer; Bomb
Found in Copitol
Rx the Associated Press

SEOUL, Sept. 29.-Gen. Mac
Arthur today restored liberated
Seoul to Korean President Syng-
man Rhee is a brief speech ending
with a mass recitation Of the
Lords Prayer.
A crude but powerful bomb was
removed from the capitol before
Gen. Macarthur arrived for the
victory ceremony.
The United Nations commander
said Seoul 'has been freed from
the despotiSm of Communist rule
and it's citizens once more have
the opportunity to live under the
immutable concept of life which
holds invincibly to the primacy of
individual liberty and personal
dignity
At the end of the solemn IS
minutes in the capitol's National
Assembly Hall, Gen. Macarthur
asked the audience to join him in
reciting Our Father. :"
Security officers who found sew
eral sticks of dynamite and a
leading wire on one of the glass
roomed balconies a few hours be-
forehand, said the device could
have blown off the front of the
building.
DR.. Rhee said that after "all
the trouble and bloodshed there
is only one question to be an
swered: That is how many Reds)
want to die and how many want
to surrender.
1.-THE Communist puppets have
inflicted unspeakable damage
upon the villages and factories
of our people.
"We will not use indiscriminate
methods of revenge. Those who
have committed crimes may hS
punished by the law but they will
not be treated unreasonably with

"One thing I want to call your
attention to-" DR.. Rhee contin-

may have attempted the over

treason, murder and arson"

South Koreans Drive Enemy Back
To 18Th Parallel But Are Ordered

India Opposes
Border CROSSING
By u. N. Forces
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 29.-India has
told the United States, Britain and
other Western nations she will op-
pose any plan for United Nations
forces to pursue North Korean
Communists across the 38th par
|allel.
Diplomatic officials reported to-
day that Indian Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru has expressed
the view to leaders of the big
Western powers that the U. N. is
committed only to the defense OF
South Korea and not to the SUBJ
jugation of North Korea.
Mr.. Nehru"S action is consid-
cred here as bringing into the
open a split between the United
States and some of the British
Commonwealth countries over the
question whether North Korea
should or should not be entered.
Views Cabled to Powers.
Mr.. Nehru's views were cabled
to the big Western powers yester-
day, the informants said.
He said U. N. forces should
avoid any actions which them
selves might be construed as ag-
gression against North Korea.
His government in the past
has always pressed for the unity
of all Korea. Its spokesmen have
said repeatedly that Koreans ought
to be left alone by the big powers
to work out their own destiny.
The South Korean government
has never been popular in New
Delhi, and India has never recog-
nized it. Neither have the North
Korean authorities ever been ac-
cepted by the Indians as a legal
and effective government.
British Against Long Occupation.
Britain is understood to be op-
posed to any longterm U. N. occu-
patton Of North Korean-unless
the General Assembly specifically
calls for it.
India. the informants said, holds
that only the U. N. can decide
upon the status of the 3sth paral-
lei. whether it should be crossed
and whether to accept or reject
any peace terms which might be
offered by the Reds.

Smoke and Haze Expected
To Stay Until Monday

A combination of smoke, haze
and clouds kept Washington and
the sun apart again today and the
optiSmistic Weather Bureau OBJ
servers wouldn't forecast a real
bright day before Monday.
The smoke curtain, which
drifted in last Sunday from Cana
dian forest fires, surprised every
one by continuing to hang on. It
even has dropped down bit, be-
ing denser in the lower levels, and
thinning out in higher attitudes.
A stationery high pressure area
in New England was blamed for
holding back southwesterly winds
expected in from Ohio, and keep
ing all the smoke from blowing
wind, which usually makes for
hazy days even without smoke.
The smoke and clouds also were
partly responsible for keeping
temperatures below normal.

Cost Of Administering
Anti-Red Law Placed
At SIS Million Yearly
Estimote includes
Only Activities of
Justice Department
By Robert K. WoIsh

Administration of the subver-
Sives control law eventually may
cost almost SIS million a year,
Justice Department authorities
believe.
That estimate, it was learned
today. has been given to Attor-
ney General McGrath by depart
ment officials directly concerned
with enforcing many sections o1
the statute, enacted last week
over President Truman's veto.
Mr.. McGrath has announced
no overall amounts, either as te
funds or additional personnel that
might be needed. According to
authoritative sources, he has asked
the Budget Bureau for 500, 900 as
a starter for the special unit and
registration center being set up
in the departments Criminal Di-
vision.
Board to Be Named Soon.
President Truman soon will
name the f1ve-member board to
have charge of registrations under
the Communist control program,
Mr.. McGrath said after a cabinet
meeting today.
The registration of Communists
is scheduled to start within 80
days of the effective date of the
law-September 23-and Mr.. Nc
Grath said that the board was
expected to be formed well In
advance.
White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross also told reporters
that the President was anxious to
get this board set up, despite his
sharp criticism Of the registra-
ton provision.
The SIS million estimate, it was
understood, would cover only JUS
tice Department work, such as
registration of Communist-action
and Communist-front organiza-
tions, and the greatly increased
duties of the immigration and
naturalization service.
Board to Need Funds.
Presumably. the Budget Bureau
also would have to find tempo
rary funds for the Subversive Ac-
tivities Control Board, to be ap-
pointed by the President. Con-
gress has not yet appropriated
money either for the department
or the board to administer the
law.
Mr.. McGrath said the number
of additional employees cannot be
determined until the Control
Board begins to function. Nor
can the personnel problem be fully
known, at least for a month.
And no one has registered at

Gen. Hershey recommended the

asked him to assume the Army
will have a is million strength
for many years. Strength of the
other services combined also will
total about is million, Mr.. Vim

total cited as necessary by Presi-

The draft chief said he thought
the 30 months service should con-
sist of about six months of basic
training and two years service, to
be given youths as soon after they
finish high school as possible.
"It seems to me we must get
our Army old enough to have

declaring National emergency.
He did not state how far he
wants to modify dependency de-
ferrments, but it is known that
fathers are not expected to be
called in the forseeable future.
Striking hard at the current
high rejection rate. the general
said fatty he thought the mental
test should not be used.
In his disclosure of August re-

101 900 men were rejected out of
100000 examined They included
about $4,000 turn-downs for physi-
cal reasons. more than $4,000 on
the mental test and more than

Seminary IS Years Old
Mount Vernon School, Started in 1875,
Had Several Previous Locations
By John CIoeett Proctor

Some of Washington's private
schools date back for nearly a
century, and many will recall the
Academy of the Visitation, located
on the site Of the Mayflower Hotel
Connecticut avenue and De Sales
street NV. This academy stood
here from 1867 to 1922.
This is but one of the many
academies or seminaries that
f1ourished here in bygone days
The Mount Vernon Seminary was
begun in 1875, and was later
located north of Ward Circle, on
the east side Of Nebraska avenue
It is known as the oldest non-sec-
tartan boarding school for girls in
the District.
Immediately north of the former
location are the grounds and
buildings Of Hillcrest "Childrens
Village" At a point of about 15C
yards west Of the Nebraska avenue
intersection stood Fort Gaines, one
of the defenses hastily constructed
around Washington after the
Battle of Bull Run in 1861. The
fort was dismantled soon after the
close of the Civil War.
Started on F Street
Mount Vernon Seminary cele-
brated its diamond jubilee last
week. 1t was first located at 204
F street NV, and in 1880 the
school was moved to 1103 M street
in the old Farnham home.
