American Tourist To Red China Admits Visit Was Mistake

SEATTLE, R-Admitting his unauthorized visit to Red China was a mistake, Donald J. Black wood says he wouldn't go again even if Americans were permit ted to travel there
 "They weren't tough. They just weren't friendly" Blackwood told interviewers Monday night as he arrived from the Orient with his Korean wife, Jung Sock Rhee, 23, and their son, Robert, 1912 months.
 Blackwood, "A, said he would travel by train to Cincinnati and enter the restaurant business with his father.
 A former Air Force man, young Blackwood had been working as a clothing salesman in South Ko- req when he decided to visit Red China with his wife and son. They were informed and expelled earlier this month as illegal immigrants.
 "At first" Blackwood said, "they seemed to like the fact we had come to their country. Then they changed, I guess because they found I'd been in the Air Force in Korea, and because was a businessman"

Canadian Army
 Enlistments Drop to Lowest Since 1851

OTTAWA, R-Canada's army has dropped to 46,684 men-the lowest number since 1851.
 With no draft, Canada depends on volunteers for all its services.
 Pay hikes announced last week for the armed forces may in crease enlistments. A recruit s pay now is S104, while a fully trained private with six years experience gets $171 month.
 In March 1852 during the Ko- rean War buildup the army num- bered 49,278.
 Air force personnel totals 5O,- 644 and the navy 19,150. Total strength of the armed forces was 116,478 at the end of May com pared with 117,177 at the end of last year.
 Thus Canada, with a popula- tion about a tenth that of the United States, has about one twenty-fifth as many men under arms.

II Men Found
 Dead in Wreckage Of Navy Plane

MIL A N, Italy, R-Italian AL pine guides yesterday reached the burned out wreckage of a US. Navy plane on rugged San Mar tino Mountain in northern Italy and relayed word back by radio that all aboard had perished.
 The plane, with II men aboard, had been missing five days. It was spotted yesterday on the slopes of the 9,000-foot peak near Trento. The guides said it crashed at the 7,OOO-foot level.
 The plane vanished Friday af- ternoon after establishing radio contact with Treviso Airport at the end of a 1,4OO-mile flight from Casablanca, Morocco.
 During the search, sister plane crashed in the mountains near Turin, killing g of the 10 men aboard.
 The missing plane, a general service PV-2 of the Navy's Trans port Command, was approaching its destination at Treviso Airport when it disappeared. The scene of the wreckage is about 100 miles northeast of Treviso.
 Airport officials said the pilot had asked permission to lose alti- tude to land and that everything appeared to be under control when radio contact was broken.

Magazine Advocating Learning by Doing
 Ends Publishing

NEW YORK, R-Progressive Education Magazine, long voice for the learning by doing" meth cd of educating children, has closed it's pages for good.
 The end of the 33-year- magazine was announced yester- day by Dr. H. Gordon Hullfsh.
 'We tried to save the magazine for the last two years," said Hull fish, ''but found the job too much for us. We are down to 2,OOO sub scribers from our original 10000"
 Hullfsh, professor of education at Ohio University, is secretary treasurer of the John Dewey So- ciety.
 Interest in the progressive edu- cation movement dwindIed after World War II. A swing began toward the conservative approach with more emphasis on the three Rs: reading, writing, arithmetic.

lcording to Mr.. Peterson. the

its alteration.
Schuyler Lowe. the Districts

ton as to whether the con-
struction Of a new central IL

He asked whether branches
might not be OF more value

too. has stressed the need for
additional branches.
Central Library First
But DR.. Atwood yesterday
declared:
I'VE want both.
you've got to have a CEN

can't go on forever adding
branches unless we have more
adequate central library facili-
ties"

Then. he said. they would like
to see the pending public works

Basic questions regarding ex-
panSion Of WaShington's public
library system are now under
study by city officials.
Last Wednesday. DR.. Albert
w. Atwood. president of the
Board Of Library Trustees. and
Harry N. Peterson. District
Librarian. urged the District
Commissioners to move for
ward now with plans for new
central library.
Specifically. they asked for
s825. 900 to buy a site for a
building to replace the present
structure at Eighth and K
streets NV. which was q gift
Of the late Andrew Carnegie.
The Carnegie building was
completed in 1903.
If they refused a new site.
they would ask for S432. 900 to
draw plans for remodeling and
enlarging the present building.
Seek Eight More Branches
The library board has also
proposed constructing eight
new branch libraries IN the
next six years. to enlarge the
city's network Of library
branches to 10.
However. only one Of the
proposed eight branches. Ten
ley. has so far been tentatively
budgeted. and only one add
tional branch. Benning. has
been recommended for inclu-
sion in the new six-year public
works program. The proposed
new central library was omitted
from the works plan.
Library officials were disap-
pointed at the rejection Of al
most all their proposals by the
committee. headed by Richard
p. Dunn. department store ex-
ecutive. which drafted the
works plan. The library boards
recommendations for this plan
exceeded s12 million, and the
Dunn group slashed them to
slightly over 1851 200.
The Dunn group in effect
recommended only the Benning
branch. because the other COW

the budget and Is about to be
built.
The budget Office a month
ago failed to include the central
library site purchase for the

Budget officers. at the time
Of the latter rundown. sug-
gested that library leaders take
up the central library question

ever. This was done last
Wednesday.
No Commitment
'Dr. Atwood yesterday said
the city heads did not make any
commitment. However. they
indicated sympathy with the
library problems. he said. He
added that the library trus-
tees we're cheered by the Com
missioners' apparent receptive
ness TO the plea.
Library officials have been
seeking for many years to bring
the city TO the point Of a de-
cision on the matter Of the
central library.
Mr.. Peterson pointed out TO
a Dunn subcommittee last
spring that the city's popula-
ton has almost trebled since
the Carnegie building was
opened 81 years ago. and that

brary system. while 1t has in
