phones and television cameras
from his desk in the White House
He spoke quietly. and without
feeling, except when he lashec
out at the Russians and what he
described as their monstrous
conspiracy to stamp out freedom
all over the world"
The President was exceedingly
grave as he warned that the Com
munistS are building up their
ground forces and air forces for
"a new mass offensive" in Korea
''If a new attack comes" Mr..
Truman added. II feel confident
it will be turned back"
He also emphasized in pointed
words that the choice of whether
there will be another world war
or a peaceful settlement in the
Far East rests with the Coramu-
nistS.
The Communist rulersA may
press the attack against U.s." Mr.
Truman said. "They may take
further action which will spread
the conflict. They have that
choice, and with it the awful
responsibility for what may fol-
low"
The President stressed that the
United States is doing all within
its power to prevent the spread
of fighting and added:
"We do not want to see the con-
f1ict in Korea extended. We are
trying to prevent a world war
not to start one"
Would Limit War.
Mr.. Truman did not mention
Gen. MacArthur's name until he
neared the end of his address
Then the name of the ousted
Far Eastern commander appeared
three times within two para
graphs as the President stressed
the Importance of preventing the
fighting from Korea from spread
ing into another world war. He
said:
II believe that we must try to
limit the war to Korea for vital
reasons: to make sure that the
precious lives of our fighting men
are not wasted; to see that the
security of our country and the
free world is not needlessly jeop-
ardized; and to prevent a third
world war"
Then, after saying that Gen.
Macarthur did not agree with
these policies, the President
added:
'It was with the deepest per-
sonal regret that I found myself
compelled to take this action. Gen.
Macarthur is one of our greatest
military commanders. But the
cause of world peace is more i'm
portant than any individual"
Mr.. Truman said the change in
the Far Eastern command means
no change whatsoever in the policy
of the United States"
The President interpolated in
his prepared text to say that 1t.
Gen. Matthew Ridgway has al
ready demonstrated that he has
the great qualities of military
leadership needed for this task. +"

Wife Of Defendant
Testifies for Defense
In Seduction Trial

The wife Of a young grocery
clerk on trial for seduction of a
16-year-old Mckinley High Schoo,
girl took the stand in his de-
fense in District Court today and
then sobbed uncontrollably on his
shoulder.
Estranged from Leroy Webb,
%, formerly of Rocky Mount
N. c., since he was accused of
intimacies with the school gill
last fall. Mrs. Mary Webb came
to his aid from the witness stand
with answers to the questions of
Defense Attorney Allen Langston
and Robert T. Murphy.
The couple were reconciled be-
fore the trial opened.
Prosecution Rests.
Mrs. Webb was the final de-
fense witness to testify and the
prosecution rested it's case at
noon. She said she had been
married to him for two years
prior to the alleged seduction and
that she bore him child shortly
after his arrest on the charge.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Raymond Baker introduced
two letters dated last October.
One was from Webb to the COM
planning witness whom he ad-
dressed as Honey"
He talked of how they might
get married in two years and how
he intended to get Florida
divorce from his wife. He closed

communicable diseases are preva-
lent generally.
Three additional centers prob
ably will be needed ultimately, in
creasing the total number to
eight.
FIRE PROTECTION: The re-
port adopts the District Commits
sioners' six-year program, with
the admonition that as develop
ment takes place on presently
vacant land additional stations
and coverage may be needed.
Recommendations include new
and larger repair building on
present site and a new training
school building on a new site.
New buildings are proposed for

site near Seventeenth street and

Truck Company on present site,
No. 6 Engine Company on present

avenue NE; No. q Engine Com
pany on new site near Forty-sev-
enth street and Deane avenue
NE, and new stations in vicinity
of Wisconsin avenue and Fulton
street NV. and near Alabama
avenue and Irving street Sc.
POLICE PROTECTION: Nine
of the IA precinct stations are
not freproof and vary in age from
81 70 "a years. These nine obsolete
stations eventually should be re-
placed or rehabilitated. A new
building in a new location is
necessary for the Women's
Bureau. Warehouse and storage
space also is needed for property
being held temporarily.
A new central radio station and
service shop is needed to replace
the present station which is badly
located in inadequate quarters.
AS the population rises and
vacant areas are entirely built
up, additional police will be
needed as we'll as expansion of
all facilities. No estimate of future
numbers was given.
RIFLE AND PISTOL RANGES:
All ranges now used by the Secret
Service, Park and Metropolitan
Police are questionable" and
probably will have to be aban-
doned eventually. A suitable.
isolated area, preferably outside
the District, should be considered
for combining all the ranges.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
SERVICE: A combining of such
facilities in the District. while
seemingly desirable from an eco
nomic standpoint, is recommended
by the District Commissioners for
adequate reasons. NCPPC agrees

While she warned that it will
be necessary to call married men

secretary told a reporter it viii

remove deferments and exemp-

the contrary, she indicated, the

would be to ease up considerably

Report on Play Areas
Emissions One Acre
For 7S4 Persons

A playground system with one
ecre Of "actiye recreation" area
for each 7S4 persons living in
Washington is envisioned in the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission's latest report on
its comprehensive plan.
The planning commission said it
hopes to reach this goal by 1880
when the city's population is ex-
pected to pass the million mark
The plan calls for around 1900
acres of land used for Fairgrounds
and other supervised recreation
programs. This will be about is
per cent of the total park areas
planned for the District.
Compromise on Goal Seen.
The report said the accepted
desirable standard for active rec
reation use-as differentiated from
park land which is not under
supervision of recreation workers
lis one acre for each 800 persons.
Although the ultimate goal will
give one acre for each 784 persons,
actually. the midcity areas will
not have this much land available
because of the congestion Of popu-
lation. The prohibitive cost of
land will force a compromise, the
report said. The best that can
be hoped for in these midcity
areas is one acre for each 1000
persons, it added.
The commission said detailed
studies will be made of each sec
ton of the city where the amount
OF land available for active recre-
alton is below standards and will
make recommendations on what
remedial action might be taken.
20 Swim Pools Needed.
The city will need at least 20
public swimming pools to meet
its need in 1880, the report con-
tinued. At present there are eight
outdoor public swimming pools,
two controlled by the District
Recreation Department and six
by the Interior Department.
The report recommended that
all new pools built be of the type
that can be inclosed and used the
year around.
The report said that close CO.
ordination is essential between
the planning commission. the
Recreation Board. the District
Commissioners and the Board of
Education as each's activities had
definite bearings on the others.
The first playground in the DIS
trict was created in 1902. BY
1924 there were only II play
grounds. At present. the recrea-
ton plan consists of 26 major
recreation centers and 1877 neigh
borhood playgroundS.

Truman OKs Bill on FBl
ArrestsWithoutWur
By the Associated Press


President Truman yesterday
signed a bill giving FBI agents
authority to make arrests without
a warrant for any Federal offense
committed in their presence.
Representative Byrne, Demo
crat. of New York said when the
bill passed the House on December
81 it would correct the situation
which brought about an appel
late courts reversal of the con-
viction of Judith Coplon, former
Justice Department employe, on
an espionage charge.
The New York Circuit Court OF
Appeals ordered a new trial on
the ground that FBI agents die
not have a warrant when they
arrested Miss Coplon.

QUESTION of some 1900 acres of
Greenbelt as a recreational area
in Prince Georges County, also has
been accomplished without cost.
The land was transferred to the
National Park Service from an
other agency.
The report now recommends ex-
tension of the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal parkway southwark to pro-
vide needed connection to the
Prince William Forest Park in
Virginia, a part of the National
Capital Parks system. Additional
study of this possibility was urged.
Funds should be authorized for
extending the George Washington
parkway down the Potomac to
Fort Washington on the Maryland
side before private developments
makes its cost prohibitive, the re-
port cautioned.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations for
guidance in planning future needs
dealt with such requirements as:
PUBLIC LIBRARY: Four pro-
posed sites to- be acquired for
branches in downtown Washing
ton, in Tenley. Brookland and
Congress Heights.
The expansion plan approved
by the Board of Library Trustees
two years ago and called "well
considered" by the planners, pro-
vides for renovation of the first
unit of the new main library
building on Pennsylvania avenue,
now occupied by the Federal Gov
ernment, and the construction of
the proposed additional units
which will complete the building.
In addition, the plan includes
a minimum of 10 additional
branches. four of which will re-
place six branches now in tenn
porary quarters. OF the 10 new
libraries planned. sites are now
available for the six branches
proposed for Cleveland Park,
Macarthur, Brightwood, Wood
bridge. Anacostia and Benning.
REFUSE DISPOSAL: Addition
al garage and shop facilities are
needed. A second garbage trans
fer station may ultimately be
needed in another section of the
city. There are now two incin-
orators and a site is ready for
the proposed third incinerator but
there are no construction funds
available
HEALTH CENTERS: Four pro-
posed permanent centers in Ana
costa, Northeast central, Dean
wood and Northwest. OF the two
centers now in operation only the
one in the Southwest occupies q
permanent location.
The four new centers would be
; designed to serve low-in income
