l Declaring that uni-ty among free

nations is "our only hope for sur- vival" in the global struggle with Soviet Russia, Eisenhower told a crowded press conference:

"I am in full accord with the

statements made yesterday by Sec- retary Dulles in his press comer- once. "I would like to add this com- ment to what hefsald: the easiest, thing to do with great power is to abuse it-to use it to excess."

Mqoarthy had no immediate comment on the President's state- ment.

Name Not Mentioned

Once again the President avoid- ed : direct, personal crackdown ,on the controversial Wisconsin sen- ator. Like Dulles, he did not men- tion Mocarthy by name.

But Eisenhower was emphatic in

opposing McCarthy's views on the proper way to conduct foreign pol- icy-views which Dulles assailed Tuesday as an "arrogant, bluster- ing and domineering approach. . "This most powerful of the free natlom must not permit itself to grow weary of the processu of negotiation and adjustment that are fundamental to freedom," thb President said.

”If it should turn impatiently to coercion of other free nations. our brrmd of coercion, as' far as our friends are concerned, would be a mark of the im-periali.st- rather than the leader."

TUCKER'S TOWN. Bermuda, (AP)-Prime Minister Churchill bucked through an Atlantic alarm aboard the strstocruiser Canopus and landed in Bermuda": sun- shine ,WedneIday to attend the Western Big Three conference he hopes will bring the world closer to lasting peace.

Forefgn Secretary A n t h c n y Eden and Lord Cherwell, former chief of Britain's atomic energy

France took off from Paris in an Air France Constellation a. few hours later withthls foreign min- ister, Georges Bldault, and a 19- man delegation ' for the talks opening Friday at the Mid-Ocean Club. The French will arrive to- day. '

President Eisenhower, Slate Secretary Dulles and nine other American officials expect to get in Friday. Five days of discuss- ion of yvorld problems are slated at the club, ringed by barbed wire and heavily guarded by Bri- ilsh and American service men. Russia's suggestion for a Big Four foreign minister's confer- ence in Berlin looms as is major topic.

An authoritative source said Eisenhower hopes to win France's ratification of the six-national European army plan, to include West German troops, with an as- surance the United States would maintain its present "combat ei- fectlveness" in. Europe.

The plane ran into bitter gales along the route from Gander. Nfld., where it stopped for an hour for refueliing early Wed- nesday. -

Hundreds of gally clad specta- iorl cheered as Churchill, in a light grey tropical suit, raised his grey hat in response to their greeting.

Walking slowly and leaning on a cane, Churchill reviewed a guard of honor. The crowd laugh- ed as he stopped and patted a white goal, or mascot of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. V

The brilliant sun pleased the storfn-buffeted Britons.

But no sooner had they enter- cd cars for the trip to the Mid- ocun club then the skies dark- ened and rain struck. Churchill was caught in an open car. Gov- ernor I-locd, in a white uniform. held his hands over Churchill's head in an effort to protect him until the chauffeur could get the top raised.

The shower passed quickly and the sun” was blazing again as Churchill entered the club.

St. Laurent, meeting renewed un- ion dcmands for national health in- surance, Wednesday held out no hope for an early plan.

On most other proposals in the annual legislative submission of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada. the prime minister either turned them down. gave non-com- mitial replica or did not deal with them in his reply to a 5,000-word submission.

Qualified Support

He gave qualified support to TLC recommendations for amendment of the Criminal Code and for some changes in federal voting proce- durc.

He also indicated a. TLC submis- sion for enlargement of Canada's coastal waters is in line with gov- ernment policy.

Mr. Sf. Laurent and about a dozen of his cabinet met TLC lend- ers headed by president Percy Bengough in their presentation of union policies aimed at parliament- ary actlon. other central labor

bodies will follow the 580.000-merm ber TLC in the next few days.

The request for a comprehensive health insurance plan headed the congress list of proposals, and the T110 said the least the government could do now-after getting an electoral mandate to go ahead with social security-was to have it parliamentary committee set up to study the idea.

Provincial Agreements

Mr. St. Laurent rejected the com- mittee suggestion, eaying he was "fearful" of establishing one,

"I think it would be taken by the public as a commitment to do something right away," he said, ”and we do not like lo make prom- ises that are not going to be car- ried out."

The prime minister said he could not add much to what he had said during the general election cam- paign. Any scheme would depend on ss.tisfactor:r agreements with the provinces And it would not be fair to the taxpayers to have fed- eral contrlbutionsniade to schemes in only a few provinces.

National President Speaker At Liberal Assin Gathering

The big spy scare in the United slates will not have any repercus- sions here just because this coun- try has no intention of producing Igor Gouzenko for the questioning

of the investigating committee headed by Wisconsin Senator Jos- eDh M , said Mr. Duncan

Ma.cTovl3', president of the Na- tional Liberal Federation of Can- ndn, when he addressed the an- nual meeting of the P.E.I. Lib- eral Assccaticn held at the Y.M C. A.

R;-elected president of the group was Mr. William Currie. Summer- side, with Mr. F. A. Large re- elected secretary and Mr. Benja- min Rogers, Ji-., re-elected treas- urer.

A long list of Liberal Party mem- bers and workers were present for the occasion. The guest speaker was introduced by Premier A.W.

W. Matheson who very briefly outlin-

ed the past record of the guest and welcomed him to the Island. He was thanked by Hon. Walter E. Darby. Attorney General, in another brief pddress.

Aside from his short remarks regarding the investigation being conducted into Communist activi- ties in the United tsates. Mr. MacTavish. although expressing pride in the many successes of his party, said that the polltlciil em- phasis should not be placed on winning an election, but on win- ning the confidence of the people.

He expressed a tribute to Oppo- sition parties in the House of Commons for their support of the Government in its attitude on the Gouzeniko matter where the Gov- ernment stated thnt it would agree to the questioning of the one-time Russian cipher clerk in this country but would not permit making public the evidence he might give unless such publication had the sanction of the Canadian Government.

Ask For S-eqcrei Inierview With GOUINKL

WASHINGTON. (AP)--The Sen- ate internal security sub-coinmib tee Wednesday accepted Canada's terms and asked State Secretary Dulles to arrange for a. secret in- tervlew with Igor Gouzenko about Soviet espionage.

The eu-b-committee gave in to Canada's insistence on the right to veto disclosure of any evidence that may develop from the quest- ioning of the former code clerk in the Russian embassy in Ottawa.

But another condition--Gouzem ko's own willingness to talk-still must be determined. He once was quoted that he wanted to talk to the investigators but since then. in a copyrighted article writienfor the St. Louis Poet-Dispatch and Toronto Telegram. he said he had decided not to agree to the liner- view for reasons of personal and family safely.

Gouzenko, who broke with Rus- sia in 1945 and helped Canada. un- cover a Russian spy network that reached into the United states. now is living under an assumed name under Canadian police pro- tection. Canada said it could not continue to guarantee his anonym- ity if he -testifies,

Dulles Support

Chairman Vvllliam Jenner (Rep. Ind.) said Wednesday that one rea- son the sub-comnnittee wants in meet with Gouzeriko is to deter-

mlne whether he has information that "might lead us to a new espionage ring in government."

Jenner first balked at the Cana- dian velo on publication of Goun- enko's testimony, but Canada's position was supported by Dullu.

Jenner wroie Dulles that the sub- committee now feels, "in view of the seriousness of the matter, that it would be derelict if if neglected to accept any offer of the Cana- dian goveriiment allowing us lo hear Mr. Gcuzenko.

"in deference to Mr. Gcusenkou security, it is hoped that future arrangements be worked out by word of mouth and that steps be taken to protect the secrecy of these arrangements."

Jenner said the matter of an in-

terview now is in Duillas' hands and he has no idea how soon 3. meeting might be ,. lble. He said

he, himself, would be ”deeigns.'.ed by our government" to go to Can- ada. to question Gouzenko, prob- ably accompanied by a committee lawyer and official stenographer.

wish For Secrecy

l'l hope this matter will be haiidled secretly and quietly and with no further publicity for it," Jenner said.

The sub-committee disclosed Tuesday that on the basis of in- formation from Gounenko the Federal Bureau of Investigation had identified a wartime consuli;-mt to Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, then chief of U.S. naval operations. as perhaps the person who slipped infomiaiion on the navy's proxim- ity fuse to 5 Russian spy.

Gale oniiiiig" Shipping Schedules

sanrr JOHN, N.ia'., (cr)-wed- nesday's gale along the Atlantic seaboard disrupted shipping sched- ules. Among delayed vessels was the liner Empress of Australia, originally clue to dock here from Liverpool at '1 am. AST Thurs- day but held back several hours. She hove to 105 miles east of Cape Sable to ride out the storm.

The regular daily calling of the ferry Princess I-lclene from Siint John to Dlgby, N. 8., and return was cancelled. Smaller vessels along the coast scurried for shelter or postponed departures.

Gusts blew up to 00 miles an hour in this area. Light rain and snow eflurries accompanied the wind.
