sanctuary by striking such bases

Gen. Macarthur before his custer
as Far East commander by Presi-
dent Truman.
Gen. Vandenberg also said that
recent atmoic tests in Nevada have
given the Air Force "a new tacti-
|cal weapon which can be utilized
against armies in the field" He
added that there still are some
bugs in the weapon but that these
problems would be solved by the
time the air arm is built up in
Western Europe.
Meanwhile, military planners
were repeatedly working toward a
policy of basing more American
troops at home and depending on
a jet-propelled airlift to speed
them to any threatened part of
the world.
Wayne w. Parrish, editor and
publisher of American Aviation,
reported such a policy in the max
ing in the current issue of the
magazine.
Instead of building up huge.
costly, military establishments in
all parts of the world surround
ing the Communist area, there will
be a greater trend toward keep
ing our major strength at home
but having it in readiness to use
anywhere in the world on short
notice." he wrote.
Mr.. Parrish envlsaged the rapid
transport of "Streamlined" divi-
sions of 1000 to 5000 men and
their equipment but he did not
predict when such a plan could
be evolved.
Guided missiles, said Gen. VAN

The Air Force today denied a
statement attributed to Gen. Hoyt
S. Vandenberg that "the out
come of the present truce nego-
tiations will hold the key to
whether we will continue fighting
war of halfway measures in
Korea"
A press release by the Mutual
Broadcasting System following its
program Reporters Roundup"
on which the Air Force chief Of
staff appeared. quoted him to that
effect last night.
But the department today re-
leased transcript of the broad
cast in which the question was
asked:
Can we go on fighting the Ko-
rean war with halfway measures
that is, stopping our air action
this side of the Yalu River and

well, I would believe the an

would be agreed upon soon." the
general was quoted as replying.
The questioner pursued the
matter further by asking:
you think the outcome of these
present negotiations at this point
may determine the whole ques-
tion?"
II would think they would have
a great bearing on it, yes" the
general replied.

Let the family council decide

you don't save a cent by lowering
the thermostat at night; you lose
your saving by burning extra fuel

Institute for Blind
Seeks Old School at
Bargain for Training

/ The board of the Columbia
Polytechnic Institute for the Blind
is preparing a brief for the Com
missioners, explaining why they
think the non-profit school should
be sold the old Corcoran School
building at less than the estimated
cost.
At least two other organizations
are seeking the abandoned school
property.
The District Red Cross wants
the District to lend 1t the building
| for use rent free until its new
building is completed next October
The chapter must vacate present
quarters at Walsh House, the Com
missioners were told yesterday.
ArmOry Location Cited.
II Renewing their request for the
school building, Red Cross spokes-
men said the Armory, where the
District might make some space
IEavailable to the organization, was
not conveniently located.
/ The Armory is too far from
downtown for volunteer workers
to reach conveniently, they said.
The Commissioners postponed
action on the Red Cross request.
The National Capital Parks Office
also had been interested in the
building, but that possibility is
no longer under consideration, ac-
cording to the auditors Office.
Representatives of the Columbia
Institutes board have held sew
eral meatings with Commissioner
F. Joseph Donohue in an effort to
obtain the building which would
enable the institute to greatly ex-
pand its training program for the
blind.
About 100000 Sought.
Although no price has been set
on the property. it has been re-
ported the Commissioners are
thinking in, terms of $1O0, 900. ms
titute officials. while anxious to
obtain the property as cheaply as
possible. are willing and financially
able to offer about half that
amount.
Principal argument for re-
duced price sale as explained by
Board Member Wlifred L. Good
wyn, jr., is that the District ulti-
mately will make money on the
transaction as more and more
blind workers are trained by the
institute and can look to private
industry instead of the relief
rolls for support.
| With nearly 800 blind persons
on relief in the District today,
institute officials feel they would
Ibe able to train perhaps half of
them, over a period of years, to
earn their own livelihood.
But, Mr.. Goodwin says, the in
Istitute needs space to install ma
Ichinery for teaching purposes.
The institutes present site, a re-
converted residence at 1903 H
Istreet NV. can accommodate
Ionly handful of students and
workers.
Space Limits Training.
The teaching program now is
limited to the reweaving of chair
ISeats, but officials point out it
can be enlarged to cover a variety
of manual tasks as soon as space
lis available.
+. w. Ave-Lallemant, director
Iof the institute. estimated that
between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year in welfare payments could
be saved by the District, if blind
persons physically able to work
could be trained.
| Institute officials have had an
larchitect go over the Corcoran
School and estimate it could be
put in shape for their purposes
for about $4,000. Another $40 200
would be needed to purchase ma
