City's Blind
Given Real
Christmas Parly
DETROIT, Dec. 21—<yPI—A truly
touching Christmas party came to
pass last night for a large pa’rt of
the city's blind.
A downtown department store
(Ernest Kern’s) arranged an after
hours party in its toyland for some
150 blind children and their parents.
The sightless youngsters had as
gay a time as luckier ones who
can see, riding the merry-go-round
and a toy jet plane. They whooped
madly firing toy guns at Imaginary
targets.
Little boys and girls carefully ran
tl.eir fingers over lines of stuffed
animals and other toys. And like
children everywhere, they lined up—
seme bold, some .ome shy
—to tell Santa C^us tnu’u' Christmas
wish.
MacArfer hsues
I:ote of Warning
(n Military
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20— <fl) —
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, an old
professional soldier, cautions that
civilian control over the military
should be strengthened to prevent
“freedom’s destruction.”
MacArthur, writing in the Ameri
can Legion magazine, particularly
mentioned universal military train
j ing as a program over which civilian
i direction should be paramount.
Congress already has laid the
groundwork for UMT. Further le
gislation needed to put it into ef- |
feet is '■‘T'c ‘ led to come before |
J the ia.v.r, k jrs early next year.
Policy control of the training would
be under the direction of a five
man commission, three of whom
1 must be civilians.
MacArthur said the program for
■ expansion of the armed services and
UMT, “while intended and designed
to strengthen freedom’s defense,
carries within itself the very germs
! to freedom’s destruction.”

More Information
On Cutting o!
Christmas Trees
Many inquiries about the right ;
to cut Christmas Trees on lands j
adjacent to the Glacier Highway
and adjoining roads have been .re- I
ceivcd by the Forest Service.
Ranger Clyde Maycock gave this
information in a previous report
but he says some clarification is
evidently needed.
Trees for home use of persons
cutting, or for churches or frater
nal organizations can be cut from
National Forest land without prior
approval of the Forest Officer,
provided the trees aren't cut with
in 100 feet of the road, or from
designated recreation areas.
Christmas tree cutters should al- i
so remember that many tracts of
privately owned land border the
road sysem. The first national for- 1
est land reached by road froii \
Juneau i.c approximately mile 7,
whevs tile Forest Service land lies
only on the right side of the road
for approximately 3 8 of a mile.
Ranger Movcock stressed the
point that there are large portions
of land bordering the Glacier
Highway and adjoining roads be
yond Mile 7 that are privately
owned and permission to take trees
from any private owned area must
be ottained from the owner. May
cock stated that Admiralty Division
personnel, located in their now of
fice at the subport will gladly give
advise on whether or not a partic
ular tract of land is privately
owned or on National Forest land.
Any person planning to sell trees
cut from National Forest land must
first obtain a permit from the For
est Service.
Federal
Employees
Warned
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20—Wl—The
word went out from the White
House yesterday that President
Truman won't like it if a federal
employe takes a Christmas pres
ent—or any other kind of present
—frem anybody with an axe to
grind with the government.
Mr. Truman made this known in j
an around the corner sort of way, |
without issuing any specific orders.
And the White House maintained ;
its six day long silence on when
the President will announce the
drastic action he has promised to
rid his administration of any re
maining wrongdoers.
Mr. Truman spoke out on the
gift matter in a letter, made pub
lic late yesterday, to Raymond H.
Foley, Federal Housing Administra
tor, who had told the President
about his agency’s own efforts to
keep influence peddlers at arms
length.
Nuclear f actor
For Sirc>ai<
Being Bevel ped
WASHINGTON. Doc. 20 .« The
Air Furce, pushing lor early de
velopment of an atomic-powered
airplane, has awarded a new con
tract for work on a nuclear engine
to Piatt and Whitney Aircraft at
East Hartford, Conn.
In effect, the Air Force appeared
to be putting some of its eggs into
a second basket.
Last March 23, the Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC) announced it
was negotiating a contract with a
General Electric Company division
"for further development of a nuc
clear reactor for aircraft.” "Last
night the Air Force said it had
given Pratt and Whitney “a con
tract to work on the development
of an atomic aircraft engine.”
An Air Force spokesman said
letting of the contract to Pratt and
Whitney was not to be taken as an
indication that the General Electric
Company" is not making progress.
Rather, he said, a search is being
made for more than one way to de
velop the engine.
The Air Force and the AEC, work
ing with industry on the project,
have been close-mouthed about de
tails. But scientists have predicted
unofficially that an atomic-powered
plane might have a range limited
only by human endurance and
speed that can only be guessed at.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20— (jW —
Hundreds of commercial four-en

ergency, under a government plan

Secretary of Commerce Sawyer, an
nouncing the project last night, said
planes and crews would become

The cabinet officers said the pro
gram, first of its kind, will be dis
