Peace Outlook
Cut in
Armed Forces
Eisenhower Orders
Dr0ft Coils Holyed
For Next February

The administrators rising
hopes for peace were reflected
today In q new program Of man-
power cuts in the armed forces
and q so per cent slash In draft
calls.
This was announced by De-
Tense Secretary Wilson. who told
d news conference yesterday that
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
manpower would be reduced by
403.O by June, 1856. and that
selective service quotas would be
halvedfrom 10000 d month to
10000 or ii. 900 beginning In
February.
With the Air Force expected
to add some $4,000 men In the
same l8-month period. the total
military strength of the United
States would level on at 2,8I5.-
900. Here is how each service
would wind up in June. 1856:
The Army, / million. down
343, 900: Navy. 65O.OOO, down
AZ, 900; Marine Corps, 100, 900.
down $4,000. and the Air Force,
975, ,OO0..
Notes Improved Situation.
According to Mr.. Wilson, the
manpoWer decision was made
..in the last few weeks" by Presi-
dent Eisenhower after q review
OF all the factors. He said that
an improved situation in Jajan
and Korea plus better oppor-
tunities for peace" everywhere
were significant considerations.
There was no immediate reac-
ton from Congress on the new
program. but it was likely 70 stir
good deal of criticism in some
quarters especially among DEM
ocrats who have complained that
the armed services now are dam
gerouSly weak.
Under the new program, the
l1st Marine Division is scheduled
for an early return home from
Korea. One regiment of the Sd
Marine Division will eventually
be moved from Japan. One Of
two Army divisions In Japan are
to be shifted to Korea.
This would leave the euuiva-
lent Of four American divisions
in the Japan Korea area. The
strength of six Army divisions
would be kept in Europe.
Accelerated Full Year.
The program revived and ac-
ceierated by q full year q re-
duction lii forces put aside by
the Pentagon last year because
Of the Indo- China crisis. The
planners had foreseen q leveiing
of for the long cold war pull
by June. 1857.
Secretary Wilson said that the
Army itself will have to decide
whether it can maintain its di-
vision total Of 10. He said it
was likely. however. that the
Army might reduce the number
of tactical divisions and have
fewer men In each.
The Marine Corps is guaran-
teed by law a minimum Of three
divisions and three air wings. But
the cutback will probably mean
thinned down units. The Navy
might have to lay up a few ships
and man the remaining ones with
reduced crews.
Won't Close installations.
Mr.. Wilson said that the new
reserve training program an
nounced last week has nothing
to do with the speeding up of
the regular force cuthack. But
he said that no major military
installations would be closed be-
cause the young men to be
trained for q six-month period
under the reserve plan would use
regular Army training centers.
The total armed force reduc-
tion within the current fiscal
year will be 278.000 or 100. 900
more than had originally been
planned. This will mean q saw
ing OF $3.50 million. but the
money Is likely to be used for
new weapons. research and de-

Webb & Knapp
Offers Plans
For Southwest
Tr0ffic Proposals
Coll for Limited
Use Of Tenth ST.

: y - n "A
The New York firm Of webb
& Knapp today gave Federal and
District officials three alternate
highway plans which the New
Workers feel sure will pave tho
way for an answer to major traf-,
fic problems in the redevelop-
ment of southwest washington.
All three plans, submitted
after months of conferences. are
aimed at preserving Tenth street
S.W. for construction of q wide.
mall-like entrance to the rebuilt
southwest area.
This proposal has developed
into one Of the major hurdles
in Southwest planning, since city
highway officials earlier had
proposed using Tenth street as
q major traffic artery.
Webb g. Knapp ofiicials. head
ed by William zeckendorf, have
served blunt notice, however,
that their redevelopment ideas
hinge directly on being able to
have the wide Tenth street mall
available only for southwest
local traffic and free from heavy
through-trafiic movements.
Show Divided Street.
The plans submitted today to
District highway and National
Capital Planning. Commission
officials all showed:
l. The proposed Tenth street
Mali as q divided street leading
from Maine avenue on the south
to independence avenue on the
north. Near its northern end.
the mall system also shot one
roadway eastward to underpaSs
independence avenue and feed
into Ninth street.
2. Fourteenth street as a one
way expressway from Maine
avenue to Constitution avenue.
underpassing Independence ave-
nue. and also underpassing exist
ing Mall roads.
The three variations were SUBJ
mitted to meet varying proposals
about whether the city's So
called sinner loop" road will be
located along independence ave-
nue. or Ohio drive, and to show
how trafiic could be handled IN
the event q new two-way Po-
tomac bridge is ever built at
Reaches Run.
~ Use Frecway.
The south leg Of the inner
loop system will use either Ohio
drive or independence between
the Lincoln Memorial and
Twelfth street E.W. East Of
Twelfth the south leg viii be
the proposed Southwest freeway.
along the line of r street S.W
To assure that heavy traffic
is kept off the proposed Tenth
street mall, the plans show no
direct connection between the
mall streets and the Southwest
freeway.
Webb 81 Knapp ofiicials said
the plans. drawn by Earle An
drews, a New York consulting
engineer, were intended only to
show that Potomac River and
Southwest freeway traffic could
be handled without use of Tenth
street S.W.
They said details will have
to be worked out Jointly by the
Federal planners and city high
way engineers, and quoted Dis
trict Highway Director j. N.
Robertson as saying he was
satisfied the plans will serve
as. q basis for agreement.
Requests Opinions.
Meanwhile Mr.. Zeckendorf
also asked the Planning Com
mission to express itself on 10
basic planning principles in
volved in the redeyelopment
scheme.
The request was made in a let-
ter from Mr.. zeckendorf to
Planning Commission Chairman
Harland Bartholomew.
Most OF the planning consid-
erations actually were set down

Question: I am lining up some
projects now so that / can work
on them when the weather be-
comes warm. One of these is
the fiat tin roof over my side
porch. It has .railings which are
in good condition, but the tin
has rusted through in several
places, and I'd like to know If
can replace it with something
which won't leak and which
won't get hot as a frying pan
in summer.
Answer: I suggest a covering
OF roofing canvas. This is espe-
cially made and treated for the
purpose you have in mind, and
is not the kind of canvas used
for awnings or tents. It can be
painted and wears very well.

Answer: Because lipstick has
an oily substance. it has pene-
trated to some extent and to
take it off it will be necessary
to apply a thick poultice in the
following manner: Make a paste
by mixing powdered whiting
with a non-inf1ammable LIQUID

MT. PLEASANT, Mich, R - Fred Cashen, a 19-year-old Mt. Pleasant amateur boxer, got his buck on the second day of Michi gans deer hunting season yester- day after a slugging match as rough as any he has encountered in the ring.
 Cashen wounded the animal in the head with his first shot. The deer got up and charged. Cashen fired again, hitting the buck in the ribs.
 The deer charged again and Cashen ran with the deer close behind.
 The boxer ducked behind tree and clubbed the oncoming deer with his rifle. The rifle broke.
 Cashen dodged firm tree-to-tre for almost 30 minutes before the deer, weakened by loss of blood, broke off the fight. Cashen picked up a tree branch and finished off the buck.

Believes Foreign Policy Adequate For Present Needs

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday he believes Eisenhower Administra- tion foreign policy adequately covers present needs and he knows of no emergency requiring an extraordinary review.
 He thus appeared at news conference to place himself in opposition to the call voiced Mon day by Sen. Knowland R-Calif) for a congressional review of pol icies to see whether a "basic change in direction" is needed.
 Dulles also appeared to dispute Knowland's contention that an atomic stalemate between the United States and Russia could mean the weakening of the free world through "nibbling aggres- sion."
 He told inquiring reporters that the free nations, largely under American leadership, have been continuously taking measures to strengthen themselves against So- viet pressures and he would say that on the whole those measures have been quite successful.
 A short time before, in an ad- dress which had some of the ear marks of response to KnoWland, President Eisenhower had said better understanding between the peoples of the United States and Russia is the only way to a lasting and just peace.
 Eisenhower, addressing the con- vention of land grant colleges and universities, said one of the prob lems of the world is lack of Rus sian understanding of Americas s motives, and lack of appreciation here of the Russians culture and history.
 Ahead of the statements by Els enhoWer and his secretary of state, Sen. Fulbright D-Ark had said that KnoWland, Senate Republi- can leader, was engaging in dan gerous talk" when he said "ulti- mate Communist victory" would result from "coexistence and atomic stalemate."
