Risk of War
With Russia

Senator Connally. Do you
regard an all-out war with Russia
as being inevitable?
Mr.. AcheSon.-No, sir.
Senator Connally. Have not our
policies been designed to prevent
or to obviate an all-out war with
Russia?
Mr.. AcheSon. That is correct.
Senator Connally. If there
was an expansion of the war in
the Far East, getting out beyond
Korea and getting over on the
mainland of China, would that OF
not involve us in risks of an all
out war either with the Chinese
Communists on the mainland ot
China or possibly with Russia
itself?
Mr.. Acheson. I think it would
involve us in those risks. Senator
Senator Connally. Would those
risks be serious?
Mr.. Acheson. Yes, sir; in my
Judgment, they would.
Risk of Enlarging War.
Senator Connally-. Suppose
We undertook to extend the hos
tilities beyond Korea, to spread
the war: Our Allies have moi
agreed to such course of action
have they?
Mr.. Acheson-No. The best
way of expressing their attitude is
that they believe that would in.
cur grave risks of enlarging the
war. and involving Europe in it
which would put them in a most
exposed and dangerous position.
Senator Connally-Well, we have
got the help out there now of the
Dutch and the French and the
Canadians and Greeks and Turks
and Belgians and some of the rest
probably. Would we not leopard
ize our whole position in the Far
East if we disregard the wishes OF
our allies that have been ex-
pressed?
Mr.. Acheson-I think we would
gravely endanger the whole coali-
ton if we insisted on taking uni
lateral action which seemed tc
disregard their very grave dangers
Senator Connally-A good dea
of criticism has been made to the
effect that our allies have not con-
tributed their fair share of the
fighting forces in Korea.
Has the State Department un.
dertaken to stimulate such CO.
operation and to get them to in.
crease their aid?
Mr.. Acheson-We are now il
the course of discussions with
other members of the United Ma.
tions and we have hopes that We
will get further contributions o1
troops.
Denies Foreign Influence.
Senator Connally-1t has beer
charged also or intimated thai
Gen. MacArthur'S recall might
have been influenced by pres
sure from some of our Allies or
this Government. Do you know
anything about such charge?
Mr.. Acheson-That is not cor.
rect, sI. There was no pressure
representation or request of any
sort by any of our Allies.
Senator Bridges-Mr. Secretary
did you originate the idea or plar
of firing Gen. Macarthur?
Mr.. Acheson-No, sir.
| Senator Bridges-Who first ap-
preached you relative to the fir
ing of Gen. Macarthur?

Project With Own Yacht Basin

The largest suburban elevator
apartment development in the
Washington area is nearing COM

The project-known as Hunting

Copper Ban Hits Builders Hard
But Output Effect Is Limited

The recent National Production
Administration order limiting use
Of copper and copper-base alloys
will hit the building industry and
its suppliers hard, but use of sub
stitutes will keep the industry
rolling.
That is the opinion of local
builders, who recall that during
World War II similar restrictions
were met with considerable in
genuity so that production could
continue.
The NPA order forbids use of
copper after March in many items
and limits its use in January and
February.
Among builders hardware and
other materials in which use of
copper is forbidden are the fol-
lowing:

about 5000 houses financed
through VA.
FILA estimates that builders
are now going ahead with about
$500 FILA units, including
about 5000 rental units for
which commitments were issued
many months ago.
All this means that builders
now have in various stages Of
completion in the District area
about $4,000 housing units.
In addition, FILA financing is
now available for about 1,750
rental units yet to be started,
and VA financing is available
for about 5000 for-sale units,
making a total of about 1850
units for which financing is
available but which have not
been started.
Applications Pending.
Besides that, about 1000 for
sale units are included in VA
applications which are pending;
about 1000 FILA rental units
are in pending applications, and
about 1000 units are involved in
applications for FILA co-opera-
tive financing - bringing the
number of units for which Gov

Thus. the number of units
which builders will have at
some stage Of construction dur
ing at least a part of this
year, plus the number for which
Government financing is now
available, plus the number which

however, to be large. owing to

Need for Home,
In Far Suburbs
Units Would Serve
Federal Offices at
Dispersed Sites
By Robert J. Lewis
Real Estofe Editor of The Sior

The Washington Metropolitan
region may be designated a de-
tense housing area under author
1ty of defense housing bill which
will be introduced in Congress
next week.
The bill is expected to provide
that the White House or other
authority may designate areas
needing construction of public de-
fense rental units for particular
classes of workers and authorize
such program. 1t is also ex-
pected to provide additional aids
for private rental housing.
Washington builders. who are
following defense housing moves
closely. believe that possible dis
persal of some Washington Gov
ernment Offices will bring with it
the need for construction of "far
suburbs" so that Government
workers can avoid committing be-
tween Washington and the area of
dispersal.
Initial Part of Plan.
Under plans prepared by the
General Services Administra-
ton, eight or 10 Office buildings
to serve 10000 or $4,000 persons
would be built at points about
20 miles from Washington itself.
In view of the apparent per-
manence of this program, and
the likelihood that it is only the
initial part of a much larger
dispersal plan, some builders
see it in the termination of a
sizable far suburb" residential
program in the years to come.
Likewise, builders say, any
important addition to the pres
ent size of the Federal payroll
here will soon bring about
cramped housing conditions
rivaling those of World War II.
Meanwhile, however, builders
are going ahead on a big pro-
gram of both rental and for
sale housing, and there is an
additional large volume for
which Government financing is
already potentially available.
The Veterans Administra-
tion's local Office estimates that |
builders are now working on

mittee found that the employees in
these four units used an average
of 1912 days Of the maximum Is
days annual sick leave to which
they were entitled. Together with
their annual leave, the employees
used 35.9 days leave a year.
Treasury employees were absent
on sick leave 11.2 days a year,
while GSA workers were close be-
hind with Ill days of sick leave.
FSA workers used an average of
9.9 days year for sick leave. while
Interiors employees used 8.6 days.
On the other hand, the Navy
Department, with 404,500 civilian
employees, has just submitted fig
ures showing that its workers have
used only an average of IL days
a year for sick leave. This Is lower
than the average 81 days for sick
leave taken by the Nays military
personnel.
Rear Admiral w. Mel. Hague,
chief Of the Navy's Office Of In
dustrial Relations, calls the Navy's
civilian employees sick leave rec
ord excellent" and says it shows
that there is precious little abuse
of sick leave privileges by Navy
employees" Admiral Hague's let
ter was sent to the AFL American
Federation of Government En-
ployes. which requested the infor-
nation.
In his letter. Admiral Hague
said the Navy "policies" very
closely the sick leave taken by
it's employees and that's why there
is such little abuse. ANY abuse
of the privilege must inevitably
lead to its curtailment by Con-
gress" Admiral Hague pointed out.
Those defending the Govern
ment's leave system from q re-
duction by Congress say that the
rest of the Governments depart
ments and agencies might we'll
follow the Navy's policy of effec-
lively policing employees sick
leave. If this were done, the

Ats would soon abate, they say.

This is a violation Of both

Critics Uninformed,
Durham Declares

Representative Durham, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, yesterday
denounced critics of the Civil De-

the former Longwood School as
having mo basic understanding
of the facts in the case"
Voices recently have been raised
accusing the Federal agency Of
planning for a plush, country club
type operation at the former boys
school. located near Olney. Md. It
has been suggested that the staff
college for visiting State civil de-
Ifense officials will be operated at
Iexorbitant price to the taxpayers.
Mr.. Durham's defense Of the
civil defense school was made in a
letter addressed to John r.
O'Rourke. editor Of the Washing
ton Daily News, which has pub
lished criticism Of the Longwood
move.
Mr.. Durham said the Longwood
School Is Sin fact, a very Spartan
affair" officials from surround
ing schools and colleges, he added.
declared it would not be good
enough for their own students. T"
The Congressman has played q
leading role in civil defense as a
member of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee. He said, Ever
since October, 1850, a diligent
search has been made by officials
of FCDA for a suitable Staff Col
lege location"
OF a score of proposed sites,
only the Longwood School filled
requirements for suitable install
lations and adequate space for
training operations at a site far
enough removed from the District,
Mr.. Durham added.
"Longwood is by far the most
economical site that could have
been selected. Only minimum
OF alterations and additions of ex-
isting facilities will have to be
made. and the resultant savings
in time, labor and materials are
evident to any one who has studied
