Miss MacGregor
To Take Post
With Red Cross

Miss Margaret MacGregor, who
for 212 years has been health ed
Lcator in the County Health De-
partment has resigned her post
here and has taken an overseas
assignment with the American
Red Cross.
She expects to begin six weeks
of training and orientation work
shortly and will sail for the Far
East about January /.
Her resignation and departure
plans have thrown friends and CO.
workers in social and welfare
agencies into mad round of good
bye parties. The latest was Civ
en- last Wednesday at Bethesda
Inn by the social and welfare
agencies as well as by Lay Coun-
ell chairmen. The next will be
given by Mrs. Ralph Bennett at
the Naval Ordnance Laboratory.
Mrs. BENEFITS husband heads up
that agency.
Prior to joining the Health De.
partment, Miss MacGregor was
with the Community Chest office
in Rockville. She is equally we'll
known for her work, not only as
health educator, but for her or
ganization work in the Committee
on Aging. She came to Montgom-
cry County in 1916 from her ma
tive State of New York.
Shortly before the Red Cross
job came along, Miss MacGregor
lad contracted to buy house in
Washington Grove and to move
there from her present home in
Bethesda. On the day she recelv-
cd the Red Cross appointment, she
also concluded the "house deal"
She expects to rent the house for
the minimum two year period she
will be out of the country. Will
she sell it? No indeed. Miss Mac

You are invited to a birthday

You are invited to a birthday
party!
The Rockville Public Library
will hold open house on Monday
November IL, from to 8 pm
The occasion will honor the Ii
brary Associations newly elected
trustees and will be held on the
Library's 18th anniversary in its
present quarters, the Rockville
Academy building at jefferson and

There was a Rockville Library
Association as far back as 1871,
according to Scharf's History of
Western Maryland, but the pres
ent library owes its beginnings TO
The Inquiry Club, which founded
the present library with a collec-
ton of 80 books in 1911. The Rock
vile Library Association was in
corporated in 1916 and at that
time was the proud possessor OF
$50 books, housed in the small one
room building, once the office of
DR.. E. Z. Stonestreet on the
grounds of the Board of Education
Building. This little building serves
? Rockville in a different capacity
today-it is now part of the equip
ment of the Firemen's Carnival
grounds. In September, 1887, the
Library moved to the Academy
building and on November 8, IA
years ago, held its housewarmirg.
The Library has gone far since its
$50 books in 1916. The present
book stock totals S79S volumes and
there are 1O43 card holders.
More than $50 new books for
children will be on exhibit at the
Library in honor of National Book
Week, November Ills. These
books for children of all ages
range in subject matter from space
ships through horse stories to
Horace, the Hound that HowleG.

A firm as we'll as early stand
was taken today by first specta-
tors along the Macarthur motor
cade route.
BY $3.50 am. a few far-sighted
greeters occupied vantage spots
along Pennsylvania and Constitu-
ton avenues. Some of them
seemed determined to defend
those spots as battle stations-to
defend the general moral argu-
ment while holding their curb
stone positions against all corners
Unofficial time keepers, if not
score-keepers. noted particularly
the following persons who lineo
the streets and longed to see the
general:

Moore. retired school teacher
Of 1885 South Ridge road, Arling-

minded if it had rained five times
AS hard as long as / got a front
line position to see the general
He is the top man in the world
today"
Shortly thereafter-Mrs. Evelyr
Messina, her 4-year-old son, ano
Mrs. Vera Cascella and her 6.

ment about Gen. Macarthur from
a standpoint well ahead of the

SideIights on Mac Arthur Day

The famous Macarthur corn cob
pipe. in miniature, arrived at the
Hotel Statler ahead Of the General.
They were placed on sale in the
lobby and one of the early pur-
chasers was Senator Cain. Repub-
lican of Washington State.
If there is time and the in
|clination. a piano is available to
the MacArthurs. The Statler called
in a piano tuner to sharpen up
the fats on the. instrument in the
Macarthur suite after hotel Off
cials learned young Arthur Mac
Arthur plays.
In Chicago. the A. P. reported,
400 employees Of the Lindberg En-
gineering Co. plant will watch
Gen. Macarthur on television to-
day-and they won't be docked in
pay. c. III. Stevenson, company
vice president who served under
the general during World War I,
ordered four TV sets into the
plant for the occasion.

ramps in San Francisco when
the MacArthurs few away were
here to resume their chores when
the generals plane came into
National Airport. It happened
this way: The American Airlines
press plane-a DC-6B took off 2e
minutes behind the Macarthur

Elapsed time for the press plane
was seven hours. six minutes fo1

The waiting, milling crowd al

with the Bataan's progress. Al

round of cheers to another hero,

waved his hat as the crowd
cheered and f1ashbulbs popped.
Has ''Bite to Eat"
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney,
Gen. MacArthur's adviser, told re-
porters later that the general
turned in at about las am.
after having "a bite to eat"
But he'll probably turn in as
he usually does-an idea crosses
his mind, he calls an aide and then
he's up for the rest of the night
developing the idea," his aide
laughed.
For his bite to eat," the general
had a pretty wide choice.
Arriving at his suite at about
the same time as he did, officials
said. were trays containing fruit
cocktail, several pots of coffee,
milk, sandwiches of smoked tur-
key, Virginia ham, chicken and
cream cheese and olives and sew
eral pitchers of orange juice. To
get a line on what to send up,
the officials said. they called the
st. Francis Hotel in San Fran
cisco-where the general stayed
Tuesday night-for advice.
New York Reception Tomorrow.
Gen. Whitney said his chief has
stood up beautifully" under his
gruelling flight from Japan, the
main phase of which will end
with a reception in New York to-
morrow. Beyond that, he added,
there are mo plans whatsoever. !"
In answer to questions, however,
he said the general may be in
Chicago next week-that he may
make a "brief speech" there-and
that he plans to visit his home
town of Milwaukee "at some

comment on complaints from re-
porters and photographers that
police had barred them from get
ting close to the general.
But I had to talk my way past
police and hotel managers to get
upstairs myself" he declared.
The stringent police action in
restricting the press to barriers
set up for the general public came
as surprise. Earlier, Statler
officials had announced that a
press room would be set up on
the second floor, and that an area
would be set aside for the press

response greater than anything
in their memories. A Republican
from Oregon said he has re-
ceived 5000 pieces of mail-only
six supporting the custer.
A last-minute corsage should
be the least of Mrs. MacArthur's
worries. Scores of orders for cor

municated with San Francisco
and learned the situation here was
duplicating the one on the West
Coast. Those she couldn't wear
were sent to veterans hospitals,
the San Francisco informant said.
The first two persons admitted
to the House gallery for Gen.
MacArthur's address were Costa
Rican Ambassador and Mrs. Ra-
fael Oreamuno, who arrived at
10 am. For a time, their only
company consisted of photogra-.
pliers for newspapers, newsreel
and television. Their plausible ex-
planation: They wanted to come
early and avoid the rush.
The public not only wants to
see Gen. MacArthur-it wants
to talk to him. The Statler's
switchboard put on two extra
operators beginning at 7:30 am.
today to do nothing but handle
phone calls for him. Scores and
scores of calls poured in, but due
to the press of business, the gen.
eral is not accepting them until
thoroughly screened by aides.
Virginia State police sped three
South Carolina youths on their
all-night drive to see Gen. Mac
Arthur here today.
When Harry Balm, 18; Jimmy
Moss, 10, and Irwin Montgomery,

in Southern Virginia they tagged
a police car. The trooper helped
them refuel, they reported, and
said he didn't think the police
would mind a little speeding to get
them here in time.
So many credentials were de-
manded of press and radio men
that one enterprising newsreel
man hooked seven different identi-
flcation cards in his lapel so he
could easily shuttle out the right
one when called on to produce it.
Before noon, thousands were
lined up on the motorcade route
including souvenir statesmen
hawking Macarthur buttons and
baseball-type caps with Welcome

dealers were ready for the situa-
ton. Stores displayed small ban
ners: "MacArthur-Our Hero"
Ice cream and soft drink vendors
were doing brisk business, but
some people, near Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, brought
their own lunches and ate in the
park near the Treasury. Many
were seen with field glasses for
use on vantage spots we'll away

Acheson Says
Koreun Peuce Talks
Seem to be Stalled

Secretary Of State Dean
Acheson said that the Korean
peace talks seem to be stalled
but asserted the UN cannot ac-
cept the communist demand
for a truce line on the 18th
parallel.H made the state
ment at his news conference
shortly after the Chinese COM
mander had said in a broad
cast that the Kaesong
conference will collapse if the
UN negotiators deliberately
offer impossible demands.
Acheson's statement made it
plain that the Allies are not
going to bulge far on their in
sistence on a truce line some
where around the fighting
front. Allied military leaders
consider a line across the
waist Of Korea would be much
easier to defend in case of any
new aggression. .
The Secretary's statement
indicated the Allies are pre-
pared to continue the fighting
rather than weaken their po-
sition and invite another sue
cessful communist lunge into
South Korea.
