we'll as working hours must
be served.
He rarely speaks of men"
rather of "a man" Even the
living quarters of the center
building he designed were
planned to give "a man" in
centive. There is a dormitory
for newcomers, another, less
isolated, for those who pro-
gress, and private rooms for
the most regenerate.
Men who come to- the GEN.
ter from a variety of social
and professional backgrounds
are given room, board and a
small salary. But the first
rule of the house is work. Il
subscribe to the idea" the
colonel says, that if you want
a bum, give a man a hand
out"
In a warehouse behind the
main building, men are given
jobs operating paper shred
ding and baling machines, or
repairing clothes and furni-
ture. But they are not en-
couraged either spiritually or
financially to stay, but to re-
build themselves to the point
where they can hold down
jobs on the outside again.
The center pays its own
way. 1t operates Is collection
trucks and several shops
throughout the city where re-
paired articles are sold.
Recreational facilities pro-
vided include televiSion, a
snack bar and billiard room,
lounge and reading rooms.
There is a social club, oper-
ated entirely by the men.
They choose members and
officers, and abide by their
own constitution.
More than 100 men, ranging
from Is to IS, now at the CEN
ter, look like some you might
find in any mems club gath
ering. But on many is a scar,
left by a problem that carried
them, perhaps literally, to the
gutter.

here" Col Lekson says, and
I've seen more than 1000 in
the II years I've been here, is

" LONDON, man crossing
a Thames River bridge on his
way home saw ragged men
huddled for shelter against
the sides of the bridge. The
next morning, the man, Will

''Bramwell, did you know men

Yes" his son replied, "a

response was vehement

Something must be done!

Some years later, 10 men,

First, materials, and through

The 10 men, horse and

Pennsylvania avenue, used as
a combination collection sta
ton and home, were the be-
ginnings of the Salvation
Army Mems Social Service
Center, which is celebrating
its 5Oth anniversary Tuesday.
In 1923, the collection CEN
ter was moved to l02 B street,
now Constitution avenue. The
old premises were maintained
as a lodging house, known
as the Reliance Hotel. The
center was moved to its First
and F streets location in 1888.
The modern, adequately
furnished building, equipped
for $50 men, which houses a
bookstore and one of the
center's clothing and furni-
ture stores, serves as a model
for similar army centers
throughout the country.
Activities as we'll as facili-

Clark Keeps Plane
Ready 10 Fly Him
To Truce Signing
BY the Associotsd Press

TOKYO, June 8.-Gen. Mark
W. Clark, U. N. Far East COM
mander, is ready to fly to Korea
on a moments notice and sign
an armistice with Kim II Sung.
supreme commander Of the Ko-
rean peoples army, and Peng
Teh-huai of the Chinese people S
volunteers.
Gen. Clark's private plane is
at the airport. gassed up and
ready.
1T may be weeks and it may
be days, a source close to Gen.
Clark said but the boss plans
to sign whenever he gets the
word from Washington"
The U. N. has plans for a sign
ing ceremony but has not given
them to the Reds.
If and when the final signing
takes place at Panmunjom it
will be the first time the Red
and allied commanding officers
have faced each other.
But the chief negotiatorS
aren't going to be left out.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harri-
son and Gen. Nam II will sign on
the bottom line.
Shooting to Stop in IL Hours.
The shooting will stop IL
hours after the official signing.
In another 90 hours each side
will have pulled its front line
back 2 kilometers, making a
buffer zone four kilometers wide
across the 155-mile wide front.
In case either side refuses to
pull back in any place the other
eide is authorized to take what
ever action it deems necessary.
This could be particularly en-
barassing if South Korean troops
should refuse to withdraw.
According to the armistice
draft rotation will be limited to
$4,000 troops a month. so the
end of the shooting in Korea
won't mean that all U. N. soldiers
will come home Immediately.
The jobs of the delegates to
the armistice conference will be
taken over by military armiS-
tice commission, composed of
10 members. Half the commits
sion will be appointed by Gen.
Clark and the other half by
Gems. Nam and Peng.
Three of Flag Rank.
Three on each side will be Of
general or flag rank, the other
two major generals. brigadier
generals, colonies or their
equivalent rank.
Observer teams, neutral ma
ton advisory commissions and
all other groups will function
under the military armistice
commission.
The document is ready, now,
as far as the United Nations is
concerned. The only item re-
manning to be settled is the
exact linking of the line of de-
n1arcation and as far as the u,
N. is concerned it should be the
line of contact.

Today's opinion said in part:
Constitutional prohibitions
against special legislation do not
prohibit classification. But the
classification must be natural
and reasonable. and appropriate
to the OCCASION Laws may
be made to apply to class only,
and that class may be in point
of fact a small one. provided
classification itself be a rea-
sonable and not an arbitrary
one. and the law be made to
apply to all of the persons be-
longing to the class without

Sees No Conflict.
The court said that in except
ing the Washington depart
mental employees from the his
toric Statewide ban, the Legis-
lature had determined that a
conflict of interests between
their two jobs would not likely
occur. The appeals body took
the view that clerks and en-
ployeS" in Washington depart
ments are "a group of employees
who hold minor positions with
the Federal Government (andD

of interest. :"
Moreover. the operation of
the section is not limited to resi-
dents of particular locality in
Virginia. but applies to residents
who may come within the clas-
sification and are thus qualified.
-" the opinion said.
After citing a number of re-
lated laws, the tribunal said the
history of these statutes shows
that the General Assembly has
determined that there is no con-
f1ict of interest in the service by
clerks and employees of the Fed
eral Government engaged in the
departmental service in Wash
ington' and their service on
county school boards. This de-
termination was evinced by acts
of 1928 =. which specifically
permitted such clerks and en-
ployes' to hold membership on
county school boards. :" =

these funds are nearly gone.

ed.
The Secretary admitted in his
prepared statement the present
Joint Chiefs were not asked spe-
cifically to approve the Eisen-
hover budget. He said that is
not their responsibility. but that
of the civilian heads Of the mill
tary departments.
Quotes Previous Testimony.
Mr.. Wilson quoted extensively
from prior testimony by former
Air Force Secretary Thomas K.
Finletter, and from reports of
Senate investigating committees.
in an effort to show that the Air
Force had not been able to cor
rectly estimate its needs in the
past. and that there had been
some mismanagement.
Gen. Vandenberg had stoutly
advocated an air buildup to 143
wings. The Eisenhower budget
calls for a 120-wing target until
the newly designated Joint Chiefs
of Staff review the whole mill
tary picture this fall.
Mr.. Wilson again told the
Senators the 143-wing program
had not been abandoned, and
that military planners eventually
might come up with an even
larger number. A wing con-
sists of from 80 to IS planes,
depending on type.
LOvett Testimony Cited.
Mr.. Wilson also referred to
testimony by former Defense
Secretary Robert A. Lovett, to
the effect that the Army, Navy
and Air Force have always re-
quested more funds than they
ultimately received. He COM
mented:
1T should be quite clear that
I am not the first Secretary of
Defense-nor, I hope, the last
that has had to hold down the
extravagant expenditures pro-
posed by a military department" "
Gen. Vandenberg had testified
that one of the primary restric-
tions on the buildup of the Air
Force was a limitation on per-
Scnnel imposed by Mr.. Wilson.
The Secretary quoted from a
special Senate investigation
which stated that "the old Army
game of using five men to do the
work of one does not appear to
have been discarded when the
Air Force divorced the Army"
IT think that is a pretty tough
statement, and I don't agree
with its implication" Mr.. Wilson
| said. But do believe a reduc-

Chinese Nationalisfs
Exude Pessimism on
Korea Truce Terms
BY the Assoeiofed Press

TAIPEH. Formosa, June g.
Nationalist China's capital, ever
fearful of Red aggression. is TAX
ing an extremely pessimistiC
view of Korean truce negotia-
tions which have put the Allies
and Communists on the doorstep
of an armistice.
Newspapers said a truce under
present proposals would give the
Communists a breathing space
for new attacks. They backed
South Korea in its bitter opposi-
ton.
Predict New HOStilities.
However. senior officials oil
Chang Kai-shek's government
refused comment, apparently
fearful of damaging relations be-
tween Washington and Taipeh
Even so. they were obviously un-
happy about the terms.
The official Central Daily
News predicted a truce would
be followed by fresh Communist
aggression.
It said that even II agreement
is reached later for withdrawal
of non-Korean forces, large num-
bers Of Chinese Reds would re-
main In the guise of Koreans.
The Evening Post, an indie
pendent newspaper, expressed
sympathy with President Syng-
man Rhee, but urged South Ko-
rea to be careful not to create a
situation that would hurt chances
of a Pacific alliance.
Ask Support for Rhee.
Another independent. the Ia
Hua Evening Post, said United
States leadership Of the free
world would be jeopardized un-
less Washington reaches a COM
promise with South Korea. It
urged free countries to support
South Korea in case the United
Nations disregards Mr.. Rhee's OBJ
jections.
The English-language China
News, independent but ardently
pro- Nationalist, said any Cheap
truce" would only provide the
Communists with more incentive
to commit more international
crimes and blackmail elsewhere. "
It said Formosa would not object
to a truce that would bring about
a free, independent and united
Korea.

Europe AF Chief Quoted.
Under questioning. Mr.. Wilson
also quoted Gen. Lauris Norstad
commander of the Air Force In
Europe. as saying he could re-
duce his personnel II to IL per
cent.
II believe other Air Force
commanders can do as well OF
better If they recognize the i'm
portance of the problem" the
Secretary asserted.
Mr.. Wilson took sharp issue
with testimony by Gen. Vanden.
berg that the proposed Air Force
manpower cuts would mean
fewer pilots and a showdown in
pilot training.
Studies were under way. he
said, which he was confident
would make the cuts possible in
areas less critical to Air Force
strength.
IT guess it's an old. military
trick-when civilians push them
a little-to take something out
that the civilians won't stand
for" Mr.. Wilson declared.
ManpOwer Study Produced.
The Secretary read into the
record a manpower study indi-
eating that present military re-
quirements exceeded the sup
ply of young men turning mil
itary age.
unless we cut down, he
warned. well have to 60 back
and draft fathers again" In
finding a solution to the problem
he observed. "a little less passive
resistance Cfrom the military
leaders, would help"
Assistant Defense Secretary
Wilfred j. Mcneil dealt with
Gen. Vandenberg's charge that
the Air Force buildup had been
delayed six months by restric-
tions in air base and facility con-
struction. The Defense Depart
ment review of all construction
projects to eliminate waste and
unnecessary building had un.
doubtelly caused some delay, Mr.
Mcneil conceded.
But at the same time it had
produced a far more realistic
program and had eliminated
"some $500 million" in unneces-
Sary costs. he said.
Mr.. Wilson also disputed the
charge that time had been
wasted.
Not Desperate for Bases.
"You don't delay anything six
months by taking four months
to see that the project is done
right" he declared. The Secre-
tary said the Air Force is mot
in desperate shape now for ali
bases"
Mr.. Wilson said that upon
taking Office he found the Air
Force had set up wings without
aircraft. in the anticipation OF
later obtaining the planes. He
called these paper wings"
The Secretary said he found
that money requested and ap-
propriated. the estimates of
expenditures, the production
schedules for aircraft and 50
forth were mot co-ordinated and
in balance"
