Churchill Arrives Today For Talks With Eisenhower

NEW YORK. Jan. 4 -(AP) - Winston Churchill arrives tomor- row to renew his friendship with Gen. Eisenhower and perhaps dis- cuss Joseph Stalin's willingness to meet with the U. s. President-elect on ways of easing East-west tens- ions. '

The Churchill-Eisenhower meet- ing is expected to take place Tues-

day at the New York home of financier Bernard Baruch, an old friend with whom the British

Prime Minister and Mrs. Churchill will stay.

No agenda has been disclosed and British Government sources have stressed the informal nature of the meeting of the two men who were so closely associated in the second World War.

To Visit Truman

On Wednesday the Churchills will go to Washington for a visit with President Truman before leaving for a two-week viicatlon in Jamaica.

In the Churchill party on board the. liner Queen Mary are their daughter, Mary.-and her husband. Chrisopher soames. and a small group of sides. V

Part of the voyage. through mid- winter storms. has been rough. Mrs. Churchill and Capt. and Mrs. Soames defied a rolling deck today to attend divine service invthe ship's lounge.

At 11 a.m. EST. the Queen Maryls position was 210 miles due south of

Halifax and about 460 miles east of New York - Churchill plans to hold a press

conference shortly after the Queen

Mary ties up. then hurry off to

the Baruch home. Important Meeting

1

Though Government spokesmdn in London have stressed the in- formal nature oi the Churchill- Eisenhower meeting, it is expected to be important. Responsible in- formants in the British capital have indicated the Prime Minister plans to breach four major topics:

1. British-American tactics in case stalin makes peaceful gest- ures more convincing than his Christmas declaration oi willing- ness to meet Elrenhower and seek a Korea solution.

2. Britain's desire to join the Anzus Pacific defence pact which now embraces the United states. Australia and New zealand.

3. General Far East strategy.

6. The implications of Eisenhow- er's Korean trip, whether it open- ed any new approach to solution of the Korean problem.

West Germany A Chancellor 71 Today 3.

BONN. Germany, Jan. 4--(AP)

-Tough old Chancellor Konrad Aclenauer will take at least half a day off from work iomprrov-i to observe his 77th birthdaykand then embark on the most critical year oi his political life.

It isn't his idea-.-this "wasting" probably six or eight hours from his desk in the Palais Schaum- burg. But. he asks. what can one do when scores of diplomats, federal and .locai government leaders and party officials want to come calling, bearing con- gratulations and gifts?

"Der Alte (The Old Onel," Adenauer is called here by near- ly everybody-by fr-lends fondly, by political foes sarcsailcally. But not to his face..

Brisk, ram-rod stiff. Adenauer neihter looks nor acts like an old man. Fortified by only a few pieces of chocolate and an oc- casional throat-ease tablet, he can still easily outdo much younger men in all-night. sessions of Parliament. And he isn't 'think- ing about yielding the reins to anybody.

Asked recently by a who he thought might succeed him. Der Alte replied testlly: "What's the matter? Do you think I'm going to be in a car acci- dent?"

That's the spirit in whlchithis stern statesman embarks on this year. which will prove for him- and perhaps for Western policy in Europe-a year of-decision. This year Adenauer. the Chan- cellor-foreign minister. must fight for Parliamentary and Supreme Court approval of his twin treat- ies to restore sovereignty to West Germany and rearm the country in alliance with the West against Communist aggression.

.Thcn Adenauer, the leader of the Christian Democratic Party. must wage at national election campaign which may prove one of the bilterest in German his- tory.

He also wants to visit the Un- ited States in the spring or sum- mer to talk with President Eisen- howor.

Increa;e.S-livdvhin Cheques Ceshed

OTTAWA, Jan. 4 -(CP) - The brisk pace of business during 1952 was reflected in a new high in the value of cheques cashed in clearing centres.

Value of transactions during the first 11 months rose to a record Sll2.'790,000,000, up more than S10.- 000.000,000 from 5l5102,050,000,000 in the similar period of 1951, the Bur- eau of statistics reported today.

llelping to forge the new high was a five-per-cent boost in Nov- ember's transactions to 011.308.000.- 000 from Sl0.'l36,000.000 last year.

the joyous post-war ceremony are circumstances attending the nom- inations of new Cardinals from Communist-controlled coun,tries - Poland's Stefan wyszynskl and Yugo.-.lavia's Alojzije Steplnac. The lntter's elevation to the church's prlncedom led to the rupture of the Vatican's diplomatic relations with it Communist state.

More than any consisiory in the Church's modern history, this one emblazons the Churchls bitter struggle with Communism. In 1940 there was only a hint of the cold war. That came in the Russian- delayed departure for Home of Hungaryis Catholic Primate. Josef Cardinal Mindszenty. He finally ar- rived Feb. 19-the day after his fellow-Cardinals had received their official "bigliettos". notification of elevation to the college. Mindszenty. stem-faced. arrived in a 11.5. Army plane.

Much has passed since that memorable, chilly day, when the new Cardinals gathered from I9 scattered countries shivered in

scantily-heated academies and seminnries of Rome. where they took temporary residence.

The cold war between least and

West has become colder and she fight between the Church and Communism has intensified.

One by one, diplomatic relations havebeen broken between the Vatican and communist countries.

The last-a tenuous relation be- tween the Vatican and Communist Yugoslavia that survived the or- rest and jailing in loss of Arcti- bishop stepinsc--was broken last month.

Congress Saturday

Of New

By Douglas B. Cornell WASHINGTON. Jan. 4 -- (AP) - The Republicans rode -back into power in the new Congress Satur- day and quickly shoved over until this week a senate fight over fill- buster rules that would have dis- rupted opening day harmony. For the most part. the 83rd Congress did little but swear in members, elect the men who will control it for two years, and run through a few moments of debate. Yet it was what Senate Chap- lin Frede ick Brown Harris called "this d of destiny." For it brought forth the first official switch in power which will end a 20-year reign of the "New-Deal. Fair-Deal” Democratic administra- tion with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- nower's inauguration Jan. 20.

Need Democratic Help

Even now. the Republicans have only it shaky one-vote margin in the senate and, a..1D.-.itote,ecigc in the House of Representatives. That means they may have to rely on the help of Southern Democrats which they have had in the past, to put across the incoming admin- istration's legislative program. Aside from curtain raising for- mallties accomplished in a spirit of complete jovlality, there were brief, inconclusive skirmishes in both Senate and House over pro- posals to change the rules under which they operate.

Nineteen senators lined up be- hind a manoeuvre pointed at get- ting a change that would make it easier to crush fliibusteis and ob- taln action on such civil rights legislation as a fair employment practices, anti-poll tax and anti- lynching bills. But by agreement with the Republican boss of the Senate, Robert A. Taft of Ohio, a showdown was put off until Tues- day.

What they want. to do is write into '1he rules a. provision that would. in effect, put a 21-day limit on the time the rules committee can hang onto a bill.

Scrap Tuesday?

There still is some question whether the Senate filibuster scrap can come to a decision Tuesday. Congress has some other important business to handle that day; Senate and House will assemble

in the House chamber for the counting of the electoral tvotes that clinch the presidency for

Eisenhower and the vice-presidency for Richard M. Nixon of California The next day the Senate and House, in separate sessions in their own chambers. expect to hear the reading of retiring President Harry S. Truman's final message on the state of the union-a message which may be largely a review of 20 years of Democratic rule plus a glance into the future.

Two Former High

By Thom-:iA. Reedy BERLIN, Jan. 4 -(AP)- East Germany's Reds set the stage to- day for their long-heralded purge trial. with an anti-Jewish back- drop. The ruling socialist Unity (Communist; Party announced adoption of a resolution which a-

mounted to the indictment of two former high officials who have

been behind bars for more than two years.

They are Kurt Mueller, No. 2 Communist of west Germany

until he was kidnapphd on a visit to East Berlin in May, 1950, and Paul Merker. former State Secre-

tary of East Gemany's Agriuclt- ural -Ministry and a member of the Politburo until September,

The complaint against the said the charges were based on

"the lessons learned from the

Slansky trial, a reference to the

Prague trial of the Jew, Rudolf

Slaasky. former Red purger of

Czechoslovakia who was executed

recently with 10 colleagues. seven, of them also Jews.

In 1950. Merker and five other; East German officials were dis-' missed from their jobs and jailed.

The five included Burno Gold- hamme-r, East German deputy propaganda chief. All were accus- ed of anti-sovietlsm. No disposit- ion of their cases has ever been announced.

But the party resolution today assailed a number of alleged "sa- botours" in such a way as to in- dicate a. big dock of defendants may he on hand when Merker and Mlueller are tried.

Walter Ulbricht, East German deputy premier, has accused Mer- ker. Goldhammer and their col- leagues of having post-war con- nection with. the "American spy Noel I-I. Eieldgf -the -.-nysterl" shrouded former U.S. Stale De- partment employee who dropped out of sight in 1940.

Merker's name has been crop- ping up in the East German press as ”another slansky" ever since the Prague trials. The indictment today accused Merker of being connected with "American Jewish financial circles.”

It adds that Merker had cam- paigned for post-war restitution to Jews for property confiscated by the Nazis.

The indictment indicated that East Gemany has no intention of making any restitution either to Israel or individual Jews as West Germany is doing.
