Churchill Resignaric I Is Expected Tues. Or Wed.

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON. (CP)--In a stnangely- muted atmosphere Britain is an- Pfolchlng-or appears approach- ing-a decisive J velopment in her domestic affairs. The big break is Expected next Tuesday or Wednes-

ay.

On one of those days. it is con- fidently predicted. Prime Minister Churchill will finally do what some have been urging him to do for three-years-resign and make way for his undoubted successo . foreign secretary Eden.

The political guessing game on when Churchill will retire con- tinued Friday with Sir Beverley Baxter. Toronto-born Conservative MP, predicting in ' Birmingham the resignation will be in "a mat- ter of hours" and that Eden will take over in "s matter of days."

The announcement. if it comes. will transform the political situa- tion. What has been called the present dragging. deadbeat par liament will be dissolved. Eden will assume an office he may feel overdue and the way will be clear for a general election. The ma penis will be over.

MAY ELECTION SEEN

Conservative party speculation

is that Eden will select May 20

as polling day, Lobby gossip says

there would probably be a minor

government shakeup first to give -' :ln "Eden tinge" to the administra- - on.

These important events. which ,F1eet street seams taking for ' granted. are heralded at.l iwlran

lsh population'is cu off from their daily reading matter by a .strlke principally affecting the London newspapers. There have been suggestions that the strike might upset the timetabld of Sir Winston's expected retirement. but the general view is that Churc- hill would not be deterred from an affair of state by a more news- paper strike. Better to let the unsuspecting public learn the big news over the radio, Churchill may reason.

STORIES GOING UNWRITTEN

Two of Britain's most interest- ing stories-involving the future intentions of a prime mlnistlr and a princess-are in abeyance at a time when hard news is proving elusive,

It appears taken as fact that Churchill will retire soon. and that Princess Margaret sooner or later will marry war hero Peter Towns- end. but official sources won't say yes or no. Even the most arbitr- ary pundits occasionally expen- ence a twinge of doubt - what if they change their minds, or it wasn't even true in the first place? .

Whatever happens. the political outlook is sure to be clarified soon. When' the election comes it will be a straight fight between Conservatives and Labor. The Liberals. only other party of any pretensions .will have between 120 and 150 candidates for the 6:!) seats in the House of Commons. compared with 109 in 1951 and 475 in 1950.

The Conservatives will probably be favored to retain their present

slim majority over Labor. and per-

haps extend it. The latest opinion polls give the ruling party an edge. but much will depend on whether recent internal conflicts in the Labor party have left it stronger or weaker:

U; 5. Senate Gives Approval i To Poris Treaties

WASHINGTON. (AP) - The United States Senate today ap- proved the German rearmament treaties by an overwhelming vote.

The tally was 70 to 2. with Sen- ators William Langer (R.ep.N.D.)

and. George Malone (Rap. Nev.) voting against. .

The twin pacts. which State Sec- retary Dulles said will give" West European unity an "irreversible reality." give sovereignty to the Republic of West Germany. bring her into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO and' provide for a brand new 12-division Ger- man army.

East Germany is occupied by the Soviet Union.

The Senate action. deliberately delayed until France and Ger- many had approved the treaties. culminates a five-year U. S. effort to array Germany's potential mil- itary power on the side of the West in the cold war against Rus- sia. - ' Only one vote was taken in the Senate on the two parts. Senator Walter George Dem. Ga. asked that that vote be officially record- ed as covering each treaty separ- ately.

NICOSIA, Cyprus. (Reuters) - slxteen explosions 'ed the four major towns of Cyprus almost

l ”aneous' early Friday in the worst outbreak of terrorism on the

strategic mediterranean island since the riots of 1931. The Cyprus radio station two

miles south of Nicosia was the most heavily-damaged ' '”' lit: south wing was ravaged by e. Smaller damage was caused at Wolsely Barracks. lust outside the ancient walls of Nocisis. where Gen. Sir Charles Kelghtley's Brit- ish Middle East Headquarters are

There also were xplosions at the ports of Famagusta. Larnaca and Limsssol. All the attacks were directed against government. po- lice and British military installa- one.

The attacks coincided with the preliminary trial at Paphos of 13 men charged with promoting civil war. The men. accused of smug- gling explosives into Cyprus last January. were committed for trial at a higher court May 17.

Radio Cyprus went on the air tangos. but they were interrupted for a dec- lsratlon by Governor Sir Robert Armitage that "all measures will be taken to trace and apprehend the vuongdoers." '

An official communique said an unspecified number of persons

Describing the explosions in Nicosia. the communique said four masked men armed with pistols and daggers overpowered night watchmen at the radio station. ex- ploded dynamite under a wall. and then escaped by car.

Three Charged With Murder

MONTREAL (GP;-Three per- sons--two men and a woman-Frl- day were charged with murder as a result of the death of 44-year- old Leon Januszewski during a fight Wednesday in his Torrance street rooming house.

Judge Omer Legrand ordered the accused-Reginald Springer. 29. Lionel Bradshaw. 29. and Ruth Ryan. 21, for preliminary hearing April 6. Ball was refused.

A coroner's court jury earlier Friday held the accused crim- inally rcsponsible for the death of the Polish immigrant who came to Canada in 1948.

Mrs. Marie Jauuszewski. dis- traught vl'i(luw of the victim. fainted twice during the inquest as she testified that the accused at- tacked her husband when he threatened to evict them from the rooming house for making too much noise.

Conservatives Score Gains In U. K. Voting

LONDON iAP)- The Conserv- BHVG DENY scored solid gains Fri- day in the nation's county council elections. The victory heightened speculation that the government might spring a general election this spring or summer.

The Conservatives cut deep into the Labor party's 21-year-old grip on London county council. the body that runs the biggest city in the world. Final results showed Labor with '74 seats, Conservatives with 52. The line up in the old council was Labor 92. Conservatives 37. A redistribution since the last elec- tion reduced the number of seats from 129 to 126.

The count in 19 counties ballot- ing outside London was not yet complete. Already the vote showed gains for the Conservatives-not so heavy as in London but still enough to give the party a big boost in morale. Forty-two other counties ballot next week.
