Preventive War in Atomic Age
Is Ruled Out by Eisenhower;
He Opposes Break With Russia
Sees No Conflict;
U. N. Necessary as
Forum, He Says
By Gornett D. Horner

President Eisenhower today
rejected any idea of preventive
war or breaking diplomatic re-
lationS with Russia.
He told a news conference that
he believes there will be no war if
the free world continues to use it's
brains and resources to build
up a structure impervious to
Communist assault.
He made these main points in
a far-ranging discussion of war
and peace problems:

sibility in this hydrogen bomb

Congress Completes Action
On Witness Immunity Bill
Approval Of Measure Seeking to Curb

chances of measures dealing
with wire tapping and Reds In
defense plants.
In final form, the fifth-amend-
ment bill gives Federal judges
the power to determine whether
witness before a court, grand
jury or congressional committee
should be granted immunity.
The immunity grant, limited to
prosecution for such offenses as
treason, sabotage and espionage,
could be used by congressional
committees probing Communist
inf1ltration In this country.
Attorney General Brownell
had sought the right to make
the ultimate decision on immu-
nifty grants. The final bill gives
him the right to present his
views to the court considering
the grant. but the judge makes
the decision. Witnesses who
decline to give information after
being granted immunity will be
liable to contempt proceedings.
Senate approval was routine,
without a roll call or even a
voice vote.

age and he would not listen to
anyone who proposed it.
2. Breaking off diplomatic re-
lations with the Soviet Union
now could not possibly serve
American interests.
8. The United Nations is nec-
essary as forum for discussion
of differences and our only hope
Is to improve that organization.
Asked About Clark's Idea.
The Presidents remarks were
touched of by a question asking
how he felt about suggestions
put forward yesterday by Gen.
Mark w. Clark before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee.
Gen. Clark, retired, now head
of The Citadel, urged breaking
relations with the Soviet and it's
satellites, and reorganization Of
the United Nations into a force
pledged to fight Russia politically
and, If necessary, militarily.
There were some implications
of the preventive war theme in
Gen. Clark's remarks. although
he did not advocate that as such.
He did urge that the United
States never again go into a
Limited war; like that in Korea,
but instead .'go in and shoot the
works with everything at our
disposal" If we have to fight
at all.
Gen. Eisenhower said Gen.
Clark was an intimate personal
friend of more than 40 years
standing, an extremely capable
soldier, and he upheld Gen.
Clark's right to express his
opinions.
But the President added EN-
phatically that these views ex-
pressed by Gen. Clark are by no
means the views of the admins
tration.
Another questioner asked the
Presidents views about proven
tive war, saying there have been
recurrent suggestions for such
some from high places.
Has Question Of Own.
Gen. Eisenhower came back
with a question Of his own. He
asked what is preventive war in
this day and time, If you believe
for one second that atomic and
hydrogen weapons will be used?
He added that he would say, if
the words meant anything, pre-
ventive war meant to wage some
quick police action in order to
avoid a cataclysm later.
But to his mind, he said pre-
ventive war is an impossibility
today.
How could you have preven-
tive war, with several cities in
ruins and thousands dead, SAM
tation systems destroyed by hy-
drogen bombs?
That is not preventive war
that Is war, he asserted.
A reporter wanted to know If
he opposed the idea Of preventive
war for military reasons alone.
The President said he was re-

tersely: 'No."

Condemnation
Power Granted
In Stun Fight
Congress Passes Bill.
To Force Building
Repairs by Owner
By Miriom Gutenberg

The bill giving the city the
long-sought power to force own
ers to repair or tear down build
ings condemned as insanitary
cleared Congress today and goes
to the White House.
The House passed bill moved
swiftly through the Senate dur
ing the call Of the calendar. It
had been urgently requested by
the Commissioners as a key tool
in the city's new attack on slum
dwellings,.
The bill plugs a major loops
hole in the existing law for
the condemnation of insanitary
buildings. In the past. the board
for the condemnation of insani-
tary buildings could force owners
to vacate and board up con-
demned buildings but could not
force the owners to fix them up
or tear them down.
Law Rewritten.
The Commissioners started
out simply to plug that loophole,
but members Of the House Dis
trict Committee finally decided
on virtually complete rewriting
Of the law.
This rewrite was prompted
partially by the legislators in
sistence that owners should have
the right to appeal by statute
to the courts and partially by
owners protests that the board
required repairs far beyond SAM
tary measures.
The bill in its final form sets
up an elaborate appeal ma
chinery and limits required re-
pairs to what is reasonably re-
lated to sanitation but it gives
the Commissioners the power
they sought ultimately to get rid
of neighborhood eyesores.
400 Buildings Condemned.
Approximately 400 buildings
currently are under condemna-
ton for insanitary reasons. The
owners Of these buildings will be
given the same tights of appeal
as the owners OF buildings sub
sequently condemned when the
measure becomes effective 80
days after White House approval.
The new measure contains
these major provisions:
When the board for conderil-
nation Of insanitary buildings
finds a building in such insani-
tary condition that it endangers
the health or lives of the occu-
pants or their neighbors, the
owner is given a notice requiring
him to show cause why the
building should not be con-
demned., If the board is not sat-
isf1ed, it can condemn the build
ing and order it to be put into
sanitary condition or removed
within a reasonable time, but
not in less than six months. In
cases of immediate danger a
lesser time can be fixed.
Review Board Setup.
The owners can appeal to a
new condemnation review board
of which two-thirds of the
members must be real prop
erty owning residents of the
District and not Government
employees.
The owner has the further
right of appeal to Municipal
Court, which must give prece-
dence to the case and the judge
must personally view the af-
fected property.
If the board is upheld all
along the line, the owner must
put his property in shape or
tear it down, and If he doesn't
the District can do it and charge
the cost to the owners.
