to to TEN THE EVENING TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1954. Sayre, Athens, South Waverly, and Waverly, N.Y. Hunsinger Gives Report to Athens Groupon Conclave At a recent meeting of the Athens Recreation Board of Directors, Clarence, Hunsinger reMiddle Atlantic District Conference which he attended at Buck Hill Falls. Mr. Hunsinger stated that the highlight of the conference was a speech by the Executive Director of the National Recreation association, Joseph Prender.

gost, the subject, "A Blueprint for the Future of the Recreation Program." Mr. Hunsinger's remarks on the speech follow in part. "Mr. accordPrendergost, predictedos and established trends, that living conditions will be much. different in the near future.

He projected his talk to 1975 when, he stated, the following conditions will exist. The average American will have more leisure time than he has now. First of all, a shorter working hour week will be here. Where a 40-hour week is accepted now, in 1975 a 32-hour week is expected. Even now, some concerns are reducing the working week to 36 hours.

Another fact increasing leisure time is the coming of the second Industrial Revolution bringing machines which do the work of the human mind, along with those which replace the human hand on the first Industrial Revolution." Mr. continued with his remarks, "earlier retirement was the third factor bringing more people with leisure time, also the fact that people live longer and the population is increasing. In 1953 there was an increase of two million; our population is increasing at a rate exceeding that of India. Educators say ther will be five million students in college by 1970 compared to two and a half million now. There are no longer the chores of years gone by.

Child labor laws keep children from working. Vacations for working people are longer. Even self-serv. ice type stores and frozen prepared meals make more leisure time. By 1975, Mr.

Prendergost predieted, the average citizen will have more leisure time than time spent at work or sleeping and as a result this free time will have a great national effect. For this reason the majority of recreation departments will be more ever to help in constructively utilizing this leisure time."

Several names are under consideration, he said, including some suggested by Jameson.

He said he based that on the vigor of McCarthy's defense of Cohn, main tar. get in the Army's charges. Sen.

Knowland of California, the Senate Republican leader, said yesterday he hoped McCarthy would surrender the to question witnesses and step completely to the sidelines in the inquiry, except to serve as a witness.

Taxes: A responsible Senate source predicted five or six Democrats will desert their party to support President Eisenhower's stand against cutting income taxes by increasing exemptions. The House rejected the Democratic tax move last week but it is being pushed in the Senate by Sen. Walter F.

George (D-Ga). Retaliation: Sen. William Langer (R-ND) proposed that any U.S. retaliatory attack against an aggressor be banned unless Congress, States declares or its war or possessions the are attacked.

Informed sources said the "alert," sent out on Jan. 1, was in line with the FBI's practice of periodically alerting police agencies to the dangers of enemy agent activities in ling materials into the country. However, these sources said the alert was sounded in letters to police administrators in vir.

tually all parts of the country and not just to those in key ports where smuggling attempts might be anticipated. They said the letter probably went out on the recommendation of the National Security Council which has overall supervision of the defense of the nation. It was also learned that the action followed up President Eisenhower's special message of last Dec. 15 urging all public and partriotic organizations to watch for atomic smuggling to report all evidence to the FBI. The Atomic Energy Commission also revealed nothing about the FBI alert.

A spokesman said "that's not our job." Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson said he knew nothing about the matter but said he is always "conscious of the possibility" that small atom weapons could be smuggled into the country for sabotage.

French Victory (Continued from Page 1) were scheduled with the joint chiefs. Planes to deal with the current heavy Communist attack seem to be the most requirement of the French.

Dien French pilots, flying American-built B26 light bombers, spotted the Red columns moving down the twisting, mountain trails north of the embattied French fortress. The pilots reported they "completely destroyed" the Red units -estimated to number 1,200 men-when they surprised, firebombed and strafed them in a mountain clearing. On the ground, tank supportted "strong elements" of French Union troops killed 175 Reds in a bitter, hour-long hand to hand battle that ended the lull in fighting for Dien Bien Phu. The successful attack on the Red columns moving down from the direction of Red China was rated doubly important in view of evidence that the Reds besieging the fortress are running critically short of food and other supplies.
