Park Director Sees Challenge In Development of Recreation Five years from now Eugene should have a park and play ground, area in every neighbor hood with structures designed to serve all ages in the field of rec creation, Don January, superin tendent of parks and recreations, told members of Rotary Club Tuesday noon. Outlining the five-year plan, January pointed out that develop ments the first year will be slow. Get Bearings "We don't want to make any mistakes this first year," the su perintendent declared. "After we can see where we are going, the program will move faster." If Loans-Chaos, Avers Wallace MINNEAPOLIS (U.PJ Henry A. Wallace said Monday night that military loans to France, Italy and England, as well as nations bor dering Russia, would lead to de pression, chaos and "finally revo lution and war." "The one alternative," he said, "is to use American money through the UN for plows and tractors rather than for guns and fighter planes." Launching his domestic "fight for peace ' speaking tour, the for mer vice president said that "in vestment in guns in Greece and Turkey" to offset Russian influ ence is "the sheerest nonsense." He spoke at the municipal audi torium under sponsorship of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party after a busy day in which he: Would Run for Presidency 1. Told a news conference that he would be willing to dun for the presidency if it could help "the liberal cause." 2. Denounced, in a luncheon speech, President Truman's loyal ty test order for government em ployes. He said "the order was a $25,000,000 witch hunt" and charg ed that the nation's anti-Communist talk Is a "disgrace." In his speech Monday night, Wallace called for defeat of plans for aid to Greece and Turkey and bluntly attacked what he called "the bi-partisan Vandenberg, Dul les, Truman military loan policy." CreswellVFW Plans Recreation Center CRESWELL Plans were com pleted at the recent meeting of the VFW to purchase an acre tract in the Scott subdivision west of town on which to build a hall and recreation center.

A string of pearls was lost at the Civic Clubhouse Friday eve ning! Anyone finding them - please leave them with Mrs. C. I. Kent. A recreation rnunnii u.iii ha pointed in the future, January explained, and will meet with the city manager in an advisory ca pacity. Real Challenge "Eugene presents a real chal lenge to an administrator of a recreation program," the speaker continued. We are interested in forming a program for people of all ages. We need a program for the kids, of course, but a sound recreation program also demands a program for adults." January told members of Ro tary that although many of the club members found recreation in civic work, the majority of men need a program of leisure time activities. What to Avoid "Two things we want to avoid," the speaked emphasized, "are building outside our limitation n that we are unable to supervise ana maintain our property, and overloading our staff."

The bill was amended to author ize an expenditure of $2,500,000 to. purchase the properties and convert them to school uses. The owners would receive $2,149,000; the remainder would pay for the conversion. The committee last week ap proved legislation to give the Navy legal authority to establish a post graduate school independent of the Annapolis Naval Academy. Rep. Gavin (R-Pa) told the committee Tuesday the full pro gram of post graduate training at Monterey involves an expenditure of about $40,000,000. Chairman Bates (R-Mass) of a subcommittee which studied the legislation replied his group feels the $2,500,000 will be sufficient to meet an emergency need, which is to provide immediate training fa cilities for 50 line officers. . The long range program. or iginally proposed by the Navy. would provide for training of 3000 officers and involve addi' tional construction. The bill still must be approved by both House and Senate before the Navy can go ahead with the Del Monte project.

Jurist Assails Army Journal TOKYO OI.R) Sir William Webb, president of the Interna tional War Crimes Tribunal try ing Japanese leaders, Tuesday asked Gen. Douglas MacArthur to protect the tribunal against "lying misrepresentations" by the U. s. Army newspaper Stars and Stripes. Webb, an Australian, denounc ed Stars and Stripes "the wretched publication" for its trial reporting. He said it belittled the tribunal in Japanese eyes. At the opening of Tuesday's court Session, the president took the newspaper to task particularly for its reporting of Monday's ses sion. He said the story was "so full of gross misrepresentations that it must be rewritten to be corrected." "I know that no correction will be made, but I appeal to the supreme commander to protect this tribunal against the wretched publication," he said. "I am sure my country would not have agreed to take part in this trial in Tokyo had it known that the official occupation news paper would have been allowed by lying misrepresentaiton to be little the tribunal in the eyes of the Japanese people.". The article to which he took particular exception reported that the tribunal deemed the de fense panel "uncooperative" in preparing and distributing its opening statement on the Russian phase of the case. "There was no immediate com ment on Webb's remarks from MacArthur's office or Stars and Stripes.

HEAD 887 Pearl PHONE 461 Grove Civic Growth Brings Problems COTTAGE GROVE The Church of Christ, Gibbs Avenue, whose church building burned Sunday afternoon (see page one), have called their minis ter, J. Michael Shelley for the third successive year. Recently 39 new members were added to the roll, and a church building fund was started. Work in the logging and lumber industry is picking up, with the opening of summer show work and even a greater increase is ex pected, according to the April re. port of the local employment of fice, just issued. There are short ages in the field for skilled and semi-skilled laborers, due consid erably to the lack of adequate housing here and high rentals. Five construction contractors have started work in the Dorena dam area and work therefore increased there. Many workers have come in from other states, too, because of rumors of this work in connec tion with the dam. Residential construction is al most at a standstill because of high building costs and this is unfortunate as Cottage Grove needs houses badly and workers in that field are available.
