SouthKorean President Says It's Time for War
Seoul, Korea—U.(P.)—President Syngman Rhee said today the time has come to go back to war.
"To wait longer—to talk and talk and talk—is to give the Communists time to overtake us militarily and eventually to try to destroy us," President Rhee said in answer to United Press questions on South Korean's view of the Geneva conference.
President Rhee said the west should admit efforts to negotiate peace with the Communists at the conference table have failed.
"But we must be sure that the free world is finally and completely convinced that conferences profit only the enemy and that 'Geneva must be the last.' Pres. Rhea said.
The South Korean president said the conferences with the Communists at Panmunjom, Berlin, and Geneva had awakened the American public "to the profound danger of Red expansion" although America has not fully "realized its peril."
Referring to Indochina, Rhee said nothing showed the "face of peace talks more clearly" than Communist rejection of a brief truce to remove wounded during the battle of Dien Bien Phu.
"I'm afraid another Pearl Harbor is imminent," Pres. Rhee said.

Stevens Wanted Hearings Stopped
Washington — (U.P.) — John G. Adams testified today that Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens wanted to end Senate hearings on Fort Monmouth but favored continued investigation of possible security risks at the New Jersey radar center.
Mr. Adams, Army counselor, said he and Stevens were "disturbed" and "not happy" over the kind of hearings conducted last fall by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) and felt they were producing headlines which had "a bad effect on Army morale." They wanted Sen. McCarthy to let the Army take over, he said.

But Mr. Adams, testifying under cross-examination in the 16th day of the Army-McCarthy hearings, credited the Wisconsin Republican with focusing Army attention on Fort Monmouth.
"I give the Senator credit," he told hearing Counsel Ray H. Jenkins.
Referring to suspension of 35 persons at Fort Monmouth, Mr. Jenkins asked:
Both Mr. Adams and Mr. Stevens have agreed that after Sen. McCarthy's investigation started there was a speedup in Army suspensions of alleged security risks at the Fort Monmouth radar center.
Mr. Adams would not put it that way. He said the speedup took place because Mr. Stevens gave personal attention to the Fort Monmouth cases.
"What the Army would take a few months to do, Sen. McCarthy and his aides did in a few weeks, is that right?"
"He did that." Mr. Adams testified, "because of the headlines and the bad effect on Army morale."
Mr. Jenkins quizzed him about a Nov. 6 Pentagon lunch at which Mr. Adams, Sen McCarthy, his chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn, and Francis Pearn staff director of the Senate investigating subcommittee, were guests.
Jenkins asked if Sen. McCarthy was not "entitled to any credit whatever" in getting the Army to concentrate on the problem, and Mr. Adams said "I give the Senator credit."
Mr. Adams said it was "not for the purpose of grinding it to a halt if Sen. McCarthy was not ready to grind it to a halt."
Mr. Adams swore that he never, either on his own or at Mr. Stevens's direction, tried to stop the Fort Monmouth investigation.
Mr. Jenkins, in his role of cross-examiner, wanted to know if the purpose of the lunch was to get Sen. McCarthy to "terminate, quit, and turn over his work to the Army."
He added that he and Mr. Stevens had the impression that Sen. McCarthy had finished his own inquiry and would leave the rest to the Army.
Mr. Adams insistently drew a distinction between ending the investigation and ending the Fort Monmouth "hearings." Mr. Jenkins appeared to use the words interchangeably.

Mr. Adams conceded Mr. Stevens wanted the "hearings" to end.
Fieldhouse Steelwork Almost Done
Although almost all of the steel is installed in the new fieldhouse, officials say it is still at least a year from completion.

been lain across the top of the structure, and workmen yesterday were using gasoline motors to pull buckets of gravel and hot asphalt up the 86-feet between the ground and the top.
Stonemasons have started at the four corners of the building putting three layers of stone on the outside wall. The stone now reaches as high as 30-feet on some faces of the structure.
The inner layer of the wall is of brick. Outside of this is a layer of smooth white cut stone, and the final outside layer will be of "pitched" stone.
The concrete skeleton of one of the three entrances has been poured
and the forms of the eastern entrance are being constructed by carpenters.
Steel still sticks out where concrete will go over the southern entrance, and work has not yet started on either of the smaller entrances on the west side of the building.
Plumbers have put in drains for the first floor showers. Permanent carwalls have been erected within leading to the ventilation openings.
Officials said they have had about average success in obtaining the necessary materials for the construction, and could see no reasons for any future delay.
