District-U. 5. DISPUTE
Builds Up on Traffic
AT Legion Parade
Convention Chief Joins
Prentiss in Controversy
With Philip Young
By John v. Horner

A firSt-clasS controversy ap-
peared likely today between
Federal and city officials over
arrangements for the American
Legion's record breaking parade
here on August 81.
The irritating issue revolved
around the question of what
could be done to minimize traffic
congestion if, as expected, the
big event draws a crowd of AGO.
600 or 100000 people.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
the Engineer Commissioner, took
exception to some pointed re-
marks directed at the District
yesterday by Philip Young,
chairman of the Civil Service
Commission.
Mr.. Young, who has refused
to grant Federal employees half
holiday on parade day, declared
the city could have eased its
traffic headache by requiring the
parade to move only on Consti-
tuition avenue. instead of letting
it zig-zag from the Pennsylvania
avenue side of the Federal Tri-
angle to Constitution avenue.
Obviously smarting under the
criticism, Gen. Prentiss shot
/ back: ..,t
"A move to Constitution ave-
nue. would in no way solve the
traffic problem. No matter where
we have a parade of this sort
in Washington, we are bound
to have congestion"
Early Dismissal Urged.
The Legion had urged Mr..
Young to dismiss Government
workers early so they could see
the parade and reduce traffic tie
ups by positions on which ever
side of the procession is closer
to home. Once the parade be-
gins, traffic will not be allowed
to cross the route.
Mr.. Young said the half -holi-
day would represent cost of
SIG million to the taxpayers. He
described this as unjustified. He
said Federal employees can take
annual leave on August 81 if they
wish. and he expects thousands
to do so. Those who go to work
will get out in time to see much
of the procession after their
regular quitting time, because it
Will continue until 10 pm. or
midnight.
Won't Solve Problem.
Gen. Prentiss said combining
the parade route to Constitution
avenue would not solve the traf-
fic problem because most of the
flow is north and south. En-
ployes at the Federal buildings
fan out in all directions when
leaving work, just as employees
in private business, he observed.
The Commissioner said the
city officials recognize that the
traffic problem is a responsibility
of the District.
The remarks OF the Civil Serv-
ice Commission chairman drew
less restrained criticism by the
president of the American Le-
gion Convention Corp, who de-

Three Divisions From
Korea Is Reported
OfficiuIs From Seoul
Fight Move in Talks
With Pentogon Leaders
BY the Associated Press

Diplomatic sources said today
the United States is consider
ing withdrawing three divisions
from the Korean mainland, but
la Pentagon spokesman said,
1.-THE army has no knowledge of
any early withdrawal of troops
from Korea"
Officials of the South Korean
National Assembly reported in
Seoul, however, that this Nation
plans to take three of it's six
divisions out of Korea by the
end of the year.
Diplomatic officials in Wash
ington, declining the use of
their names, said they did not
know of any time table in the
proposed plans. They added
there has not yet been any firm
decision on the matter,
ROK Officials Here.
Philip Han, minister from the
Republic of Korea, said Korean
officials here have been confer
ring with top men at the Penta-
gon and the State Department
in an effort to forestall any
such withdrawal of troops.
This is no time to withdraw
a single man from Korea" Mr..
Han said in an interview.
Mr.. Han said the withdrawal
OF any United States troops
would harm the morale" of
South Koreans and would be
"strategically wrong" in view of
what he called the buildup of
Communist forces in North
Korea.
State Department officials de-
cllned to make an immediate
public statement on the situa-
ton. Inquiries were referred to

In the light of Gen. Ridgway's
expressed opinion, defense of

interpret the reports as mean

planning to move some troops
from South Korea to nearby
OkinaWa.
Facilities are being developed
on that island, wrested from the

The weighty problem vas car
ried to the commission by 1t.
Francis H. Dunn of the hack in
spector's Office. 1t. Dunn simply
was looking for an answer to
complaints and inquiries which
existing regulations did not
cover.
"All the book said was that

tee of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, said that while
the Communists could assemble

could never cross against the
modern naval vessels of our 7th
Fleet; we're not worried about
that"
Mansfield Confident.
And Senator Mansfield, Demo-
crat, of Montana, another For
eign Relations Committee men,
Der who made an extensive Far
East tour last fall, also expressed
the belief that the 7th Fleet
should be able to block any in
vasion of the island.
The United States has pledged
naval protection to Formosa, the
island stronghold of Gen. Chang
Kai-shek, since 1850. The wars
in Indo-China and Korea, how
ever, pushed into the background
the possibility that the United
States might fight IN the For
mosa area.
Gen. Eisenhower shocked the
country back to this possibility
at his news conference yesterday.
He did it with IL simple words:
Any invasion of Formosa would
have to run over the 7th Fleet.
Blunt Warming to China.
This was an alert to the Amer
lean people and also warning
one of the most direct on record
to the Chinese Communists.
Since the Indo-Chinese war
ended, the Chinese Communists
have deployed forces on the
mainland opposite Formosa.
Last Friday, Chinese Communist
Premier Che En-Lai broadcast
that the Reds must take For
mosa. He said the United States
must stay out of the way.
Gen. Eisenhower was asked
what would happen if the Com
munists' did attack Formosa in
force.
The President replied without
emotion that in January or Feb
ruary of 1858, instructions went
out to the American 7th Fleet.
Those orders are still in force
and, therefore, he would as
sumo what would happen is
this: Any invasion of Formosa
would have to run over the
7th Fleet.
Former President Truman was
the father of such policy. After
the Korean war started in 1850,

But what about shorts? Not
a hint, except that hackers must
be fully attired" and in such
way as not ito give offense to the
public"
1t. Dunn was left with the
job of deciding whether a man
in shorts is fully clad, and the
public the decision of whether
such raiment offends it.

The greatest concern in Paris
is that Mr.. Mendes-France's own
flexibility has been damaged by
public reaction to his proposed

publicity itself came as a severe
blow and the Premier is reported
furious that summary of his

to the entire French press last
week. There is a strong suspicion
that the leaking was done by q
former member of Mr.. Mendes-

hostility to the treaty overcame
his sense of obligation to the gov

now for the Premier to back
