WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1952 B i t .I( it ith No '.:41 .'..e ' ..!.: R.;. '' W ' ssess Aa--gorribanimChurchill LONDON, Feb. 26—(JP)—Win ston Churchill told Commons to night that Britain has the • atom bomb and won from a House a 318 to 285 :vote of confidence on his foreign policy. Fighting off Labor Party at tempts to censure him for a con troversial speech before the U.S. Congress last month, the 77-year old Prime Minister denied vigor ously making any secret agree ments in his Washington talks with President Truman. He insisted that Britain's policy toward China / remained un changed. Secret Program Churchill said the labor govern ment defeated in last October's election not only ,_produced the atom bomb in secret but' also set up a plant for regular production. The program was so secret, the prime minister said, that he learned about the bomb himself only after coming back into power four months ago. In the angry, bitter debate over foreign policy, Churchill lashed back at pacifist elementS in the Labor Party. He claimed the for mer labor government itself had been ready as far back as last May to join in taking action "not confined to Korea" in the event of heavy air attacks on United Nations forces from bases in China. Laborites Protest Laborite Aneurin Bevan—who has led the anti-American policy group in the Labor Party—led a howl of protests and demanded that , Churchill produce proof on the statement. • Th e laborite censure motion that precipitated the debate and its disclosure of the atom bomb charged that Churchill misled the U.S. Congress in his declaration Jan. I'7 that Britain would take "prompt, resolute and effective" action alongside the U.S. if a Ko rean truce, on c e reached, was broken. Churchill's disclosure gave point to a Brit i s h announcement 10 days ago that, later this year, Britain will test an atomic wea pon on a vast desert proving ground in the heart of Australia.

(U.S. Navy photo via radio from Cairo and AP wirenhoto) Final Stage Neared on 4 in Korean Talks Issues MUNSAN, Wednesday, Feb. 27 --(JP)—Korean truce talks neared the showdown stage on Russia and three other big issues today. Most non-controversial details have been cleared away by Com munist and United Nations staff officers, leaving bare, hard areas of disagreement. Staff officers will make another attempt to break the deadlock to day. Their meeting was scheduled for 11 a.m. in Panmunjom. Red insistence that Russia help police a Korean armistice bogged the talks Tuesday on truce super vision. The UN command,,communique glumly reported a compromise proposal to reduce the number of neutral nations from three to two for each side by dropping Norway and Russia was "categorically re jected" by the Reds. The number of ports of entry which neutral teams would in spect during a truce also remained an unsolved issue. The UN com mand wants six ports for each, side.

The United States, British, and French ministers also sent orders to their high commissioners in Germany to start talks for unleashing many of the defeated -nation's war industries The two steps open the way further for linking of West Ger many's vast . resources of men and machines to the Allied arms build up.

The rival arguments came, re spectively, from Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of the House armed serv ices committee and Rep. Arends of Illinois, the Republican whip, or assistant leader. They spoke at the start of four days of House debate on a bill which would authorize a start on UMT. The bill calls for six months of compulsory military training by all fit 18-year-olds, followed by seven and one-half years of reserve status. House voting is due next week, with the outcome .in doubt. A move to send- the bill back to Vinson's committee for mo r e study is expected. The Senate armed services com mittee has. approved a similar bill, but no time has been fixed for Senate debate. When it extended the draft law last year, Congress created a five man commission to work out de tails of a UMT program. :Vinson and other proponents have con tended this action constituted approval of UMT in principle, but Arends disputed that today. 4 U.S. Destroyers Start Good Will Tour YOKOHAMA.
