Testimony
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. tfl
J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief, says
moral obligation demands that a
loyal American sacrifice his right
against self incrimination and tell
what he knows about things that
endanger the national security.
"Our moral duty, both to our
country and fellow Americans
obliges us to expose to view the
Trojan Horse In our midst even
though the testimony would prove
embarrassing because of past dere
lictions," Hoover said In this week's
edition of the Virginia Law Week
ly, published by law students of
the University of Virginia.
"There are some who have work
ed against the security interests of
our nation, yet are now afraid to
admit it. Their continued silence
contributes to the success of the
Comii-iist conspiracy.
"The moral obligation to speak
up far outweighs considerations
of personal convenience," Hoover
wrote.

Park Service Undertaking
Study Of All Sites Yith
View Of Possible Transfer
WASHINGTON UWThe National
Park Service is undertaking a
study of all areas under its control
with the aim of possibly transfer
ring to state or local interests "all
areas n.'. of true national signifi
cance." President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of the Interior McKay both
are on record for protection of the
national parks. McKay said in an
interview Saturday there may be
some national park or monument
areas which do not meet the basic
requirements of a national park
system under current philosophy.
But he also said "we need addi
tional national parks in some
areas.'
McKay expressed Uie opinion
congressional action probably
would be necessary to transfer any
existing park from the federal sys
tem. He said the same would be true
in connection with possible reduc
tion in area of some parks and
monuments. The Park Service has
such action under study.
President Eisenhower in his state
of the union message Thursday
said:
"We shall continue to protect and
improve our national forests,
parks, monuments and other nat
ural and historic sites, as well as
our fishery and wildlife resources."
But Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Orme Lewis last month
directed Park Service Director
Conrad L. Wirth to report by June
30 on methods "for the return to
states or other political subdivi
sions of any national park service
areas which you may believe to
be of questionable national signifi
cance." Wirth was also directed to "de
velop an effective program to
transfer responsibilities to the
states for the maintenance of all
Marilyn Monroe Rated Now
As A "Star" In Hollywood
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD This week's
suspension of Marilyn Monroe by
her studio pointed up the fact that
the blonde bombshell has entered
the second phase of her career.
The Monroe has arrived. Al
though she has actually been seen
in only three starring pictures, she
was chosen one of 'the 10 top
money-making stars. That signi
fies that she is no longer an un
known quantity at the box office.
And so the familiar pattern starts
to appear.
Generally speaking, a movie star
goes through three phases:
1. The starlet. During the early
period of Jier career, the doll will
do anything to get ahead. She'h
accept bits, pose for cheese-cake,
go on tours and perform, when
ever she Is asked.
2. The star. When she finally
arrives on top, our girl Is more
cautious. She wants good scripts
and does not fear suspension over
roles she doesn't think are gooa
enough or might harm her career.
She is also more frugal in giving
her time to interviews, tours aim
other more or less bothersome by
products of stardom.
3. The falling star. She be
comes either (a) much more dif
ficult and resentful of the studio's
neglect ot her career; or (b) much
more obliging, taking any roles
with the realization that her life
In the movies Is fading. '
Fortunately for Marilyn, she is
a long, long way from phase jNo. 3.
After three years of doing the
studio's bidding, she is asserting
her newfound rights as a star.
She has some arguments In her
favor. Until recently, she was
paid $750 a week, a meagre feo
ior a star of Her prominence. She
has been raised to $1,350 plus
bonuses. But even so, that's a pit
tance compared to the other top

The Park Service now adminis
ters 180 areas located in 38 states.
Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and
tiie Virgin Islands.
Any specific proposals to alter
the Bark system are expected to
stir controversy, and the survey
team noted that it would take the
lull support of the Secretary of the
xuienor ana ine president and ex
tensive negotiations with Congress
and others to carry through the
recommendations.
McKay said Saturday he believes
the analysts of the parks "must
be made with an open mind we
must recognize that we need addi-
tional national parks in some areas
and expansion of some existing
pans wnere me basic reaulre
ments of the philosophy we now

some existing areas may not meet

and recreation grounds by local
people, snouid be handled locally
The survey team said its 60-day
study Indicated a number of areas
"that have very limited national
significance and attract primarily
local visitation or use." It men
tioned none in the Pacific North

That is a 49.6 per cent increase
over the previous month and 45
per cent more than at- the same

About 32 per cent of those with
out work are women. Logging and
lumber jobs were down 6.5 per
cent from mid-October and 17.9
per cent from a year ago.
He said that seasonal declines
were responsible lor much of the

Eisenhower Rules Out A1
UMT Program PendingF
Study Of Military Need
By "STERLING F. GREEN
WASHINGTON tfl President
Eisenhower Saturday ruled out any
administration request for univer
sal military training legislation
pending a new study and perhaps
a drastic overhaul of the nation's
military reserve system.
His decision seemed to eliminate l
the chance that Congress would
get an admintstration UMT bill
this session, despite last month's
recommendation of a presidential
commission that the "token train
ing" of 100,000 men be started next
Jan. 1 or earlier.
Eisenhower disclosed his stand
in a letter to ArUiur S. Flemmmg,
director of the Office of Defense
Mobilization iODM. He said he
agreed "in general" with recom
mendations made by Flemming
and by a special ODM committee
calling for postponement of UMT
pending possible reorganization of;
the reserves. 1 i
The ODM report was based on
a Defense Department estimate,
previously unannounced, that the I
armed forces will need an average
of three million men in uniform
from now through 1960. About 3,
300,000 now are in the military
establishment.
Under this estimate, selective
service needs could be filled while
enough young men would be left
to start a token UMT. But the
ODM report held that another em
ergency of the scope of Korea
would upset the calculation, hence
no training program should now
be launched that might interfere
with the draft.
Flemming said, "we do not now
have reserve forces adequately
organized and trained to meet the
