City Heads Approve
Added Facilities al
Children S Center
But Reject Proposal
For Receiving Home
Project at Blue Plains

The District Commissioners to-
day approved altering an unspec-
flied number of dormitory cot
tages under construction at the
Laurel (Md.) Children's Center
to accommodate juvenile delin-
quents now adding to the over
crowded conditions Of the city's
Receiving Home.
At the same time, the city
heads ordered their welfare and
construction aides to prepare as
soon as possible cost estimates on
expanding the existing receiving
home on Mount Olivet road NE.
to raise the present bed capacity
from 40 to IS. The actions rep
resented partial Endorsement of
recommendations by Commits
sioner Renah F. Camalier.
His colleagues, Commissioner
Samuel Spencer and Engineer
Commissioner Thomas A. Lane,
however, turned a cold shoulder
on third proposal by Mr.. CANA
lier-allocating planning money
for building an entirely new re-
ceiving home at Blue Plains.
To Study Other Plan
A fourth proposal by Commits
sioner Camalier, who is in charge
of city welfare matters, will be
held in allegiance by the Com
missioners until the cost esti-
mates for an expanded home
have been submitted and studied.
This proposal called for con-
structing a new security building
at the Childrens' Center.
Although official estimates
must await the calculations of
Welfare Director Gerard M. Shea
and Construction Supt. Archie
G. Hutson, Mr.. Camalier sub
mitted his own, as follows:
l. Converting two dormitory
cottages into security quarters.
100000.
2. Expanding the present
Receiving Home. 100000.
3. Building a new security
structure at Laurel, $l75,000.
4. Planning money for build
ing a new Receiving Home at
Blue Plains, $45,000.
Involves RealIOcation
All of the proposed expendi-
lures would come from reallo-
eating parts of $550,000 already
appropriated for a large-scale
of the present receiv-
ing home. Congress would have
to approve the proposals.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Shea
and Mr.. Hutson. the Commits
sioners refrained from specify
ing how many cottages might
have to be converted. This would
depend on an up-to-date COM
putation of the number of de-
who might have to be
assigned to the Children's Gen.
ter.
Capacity of each of these cot
tages would be less than SO
beds. Included in the security
would be installa-
ton of window grills. security
door locks, heavy duty doors and
enclosed outdoor play areas.
Estimates Expected
The estimates on the cost for
the proposed limited expansion
Of the Receiving Home are ex-
pected to be ready before the
end of the week TO. the Com
further action.
Commissioner Spencer indi-
Gated that there would be no
point to discuss Mr.. Camalier's
recommended new security build
ing until it was determined
whether there would be enough
left of the appropriated
$55o,000 to go into that project.
Although Commissioner CANA
lier urgently pressed for a new
receiving home, his colleagues |
simply refused to discuss 1t at |
this time.

President Discounts War Peril,
Sees Chinese Reds Logging in

Doubts Possibility
Of Island Assault
At EorIy Dote
BY GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower does not
believe the Chinese Communists
are sufficiently prepared to make
an effective about attack on
Matsu and Quemoy April Is or
at any early date, it has been
learned.
The Presidents information is
that the Communist forces could

not launch air coverage which
would permit a successful land
ing of troops on those islands.
According to this information,
the Red airfields are neither nu-
merous nor large enough for
such an operation.
Moreover, there have been no
signs of building activity in
Chinese coastal area.
Discredits Reports
The Presidents opinion. which
is based on information from
many sources. is in direct con-
f1ict with reports given wide cir
culation last week end that a
major Communist attack would
be made on Matsu by the middle
of April, to be followed month
later by an attack on Quemoy
These reports, which came
from high military authority
gave color to the idea that a
major conflict which might draw
in the United States was i'm
minent.
The administration admittedly
has been disturbed by these re-
ports. 1t feels however. it has
overall information on which to
base its present views. Indeed,
its contention is that the re-
ports of coming attack were
'parochial."
This is the term which Mr.
Eisenhower applied some time
ago to Gen. Ridgway's opinion,
given to a congressional COM
mittee, that it was a mistake to
reduce the number of men in the
Armed Forces as proposed in the
Presidents defense program.
Knowland Supports Views
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said this morning that
"as I read the Presidents view
point in the newspapers, I think
it is perfectly sound"
Senator Knowland talked with
reporters after he and other Re-
publican congressional leaders
conferred at the White House
with Mr.. Eisenhower. He said
the possibility of a Chinese Com
munist attack on Matsu and
Quemoy was not discussed in
that conference.
In commenting on reports on
the Presidents views. the Sem
ator said he never had subscribed
to the theory that any one could
predict with certainty. the day,
