Churchill's Friends Say He'll Retire Next Month

By Fraser Wlghton

LONDON. (Reuters)-Friends of sir Winston Churchill confidently predicted he will retire from the premiership early next month. They said Sunday retirement would be a victory for his wife and doctors who want him to quit and hand over the reins to his 57-year-old foreign secretary. Sir Anthony Eden. while his health is good enough to enjoy the freedom from efiice.

Since it has been widely predic- ted that Churchil would call for new elections this fall. political strategists in the Conservative party feel he should hand over now to give his aucceuor time to make election plans and decide the issues on which to fight it.

But Churchill is reported anx- four to avoid makiiig it appear too likely that the Conservatives are calling an election to capital-

ltical correspondent writes "there is at least sound reason to believe" reports of retirement "in the near future.” He adds a "well-founded" forecast "that Sir Winston will keep his seat in the House of Com- mons.”

The Sunday Dispatch says Churchill "is almost certain to re- sign in a few weeks." but adds: "If he sees a chance of early talks with the Soviet leader about dis- armament Sir Winston may put off his retirement."

PLANKTON II SECRET

The survey is using a plankton recorder to study the ' S of square miles of fishing areas. The device is towed by the ship and makes a complete record of plant and animal life as it passes through the water. "With this re- corder we can decide the best areas for potential haddock fish- ing." Mr. Colton said.

Haddock eggs are spawned and fertilized on the bottom and the female usually lays about 200.000 eggs. The eggs rise to the surface and batch in about three weeks.

The young haddoc' feed on zoo plankton. tiny animal life floating on top of the water. which in turn feed on phytoplankton. But largbr fish eat the haddoc'.

After some months on the sur- face the haddock grow to about five inches and return to the bot- tom. Iftliey go back to deep water they are lost to commercial fish- ermen. m"It is necessary tohlfind out lazy

PARIS (Reuters) -- France and the sear Sunday concluded an eco- nomic pact which is ex cted to give the green light to ratifies. tion of the Paris treaties this week by the French upper house.

The agreement lets France keep economic privileges in the indust- rial Saar territory. located be. tween France and Germany. This will give the government of Prem- ier Edgar Faure an answer to son- ators reluctant to vote for the Paris treaties because of fears that France's privileges in the Saar would be andang ed.

The Paris treaties. to rearm West Germany within the Atlantic alliance. are tied together with the French - German Saar statute signed here last October.

The French National Assembly (lower house) already has ratified the treaties. The Council of the Republic (upper house) will begin its three-day ratification debate '-'-'ednesda,.. Most political observ- ers here now predict the senators will ratify the n;aCGmOItS uncon- ditionally.

While the country appears to be heading. at least. toward full ap- proval of the new defence blue- print ln Europe. she seems to be reluctant to back the United States and Britain on Middle Eastern de- fence policy.

COOL TOWARDS PACT

Diplomatic sources here said Sunday that France does not in- tend at present to loin the new Turkish-Iraqi defence pact. and has received no invitation from Turkey to do so.

The Faure government's suc- cess in concluding the Saar agree- ment was matched Sunday by a qualified and temporary success on the domestic front. where the budget is the big issue.

The 25-day-old government won assembly approval, 392-to-211. of its nearly seven billion dollar civil budget-but was forced to with- draw its request for a military budget of more than 32.500.000.000. The premier now will have to ask

Creates New Cabinet Post

By RUSSELL BRINES

WASHINGTON (AP) - Prea- ident Eisenhower Saturday crea- fed a new cabinet post devoted to disarmament and assigned Harold Stassen to the job of seeking prac- tical ways of cutting down world arms in order to avert atomic dis- aster.

Stassen. in his position of spe- cial assistant to the president. will be charged with drafting recom- mendations which, if given admin- istration and congressional ap- proval. ”will become basic policy" on disarmament. a White House announcement said. i

The broad study will deal with all major weapons. l ' ” hy- drogen and atomic bombs. All ef- forts to arrive at an atomic con- trol system have failed so far, largely because Russia has balked at international i n s p e c t i o n de- manded by the West. D

The destroyers arrived in the Far East after the Korean armis- tice and did not engage in any ac- tion.

Capt. James C. Pratt of Wind- sor. Ont., skipper of Huron. said the only action his crew witnessed was when they watched a Royal Navy cruiser bomba d terrorists in Malaya.

But the trip, he said. gave his crew in wealth of experience.

By B. L. LIVINGSTONE

WASHINGTON (AP) - Forces in the House of Representatives seeking to ditch the Eisenhower farm program now claim the backing of organized labor for the first time.

They thus raise the Pmsllecl 01 a possible new farm labor coali- tion which could materially change the legislative complexion of the House at this session of Con- gress.

The initial test could come next Wednesday or Thursday, when Democratic leaders have sched- uled action on a bill to supplant the Republican administration's sliding - scale price - support pro- gram with rigid supports at 90 per cent of parity.

81.25 MINIMUM WAGE

Still to be considered is a mini- mum-wage proposal in which the labor unions have I primary in- terest. The administration is ask- ing an increase to 90 cents an hour from 75 cents in the na- tional minimum wage. But mem- bers representing large worker districts are pro sing up to 51.25. If they voted or 90-per-cent farm price supports. they would ob- viously hopc for reciprocity from state legislators.

Labor Joins Opposition To Farm Program

In U. S.

passed by Congress last year provides for variable supports be- tween 02V: and 90 per cent of parity. The bill coming before the House next week would fix supports at 90 per cent.

This figure would apply only to the so-called basic crops of wheat. corn. cotton. rice and pea- nuts. but the bill would also raise the support floor for dairy pro- ducts from 75 to 80 per cent of parity.

Pnriiy is a standard set by law and said to give the farmer a fair price on his crops in relation to his costs.

CLOSE VOTE INDICATED

Advance estimates by both sides in the pending farm fight indi- cate a close vote either way. The outcome could hinge on the vote of members from city districts.

Representative Harold Cooley (Dem. N.C.), author of the high support bill and chairman of the House agriculture committee. said Saturday that "for the first time in the 20 years I have been in Congress we have clear cut labor support."

Both the CIO and AFL have endorsed a return to rigid sup- ports at 00 per cent of parity on grounds that farm prosperity is

essential to industrial welfare.
