iri fr IEDNE§DAY, JANUARY 7, 1953 Churchill Meets Dulles, Aldrich, Remains Silent NEW YORK, (AP)—British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had a chance last night to consolidate personal friendships with the two men who will be our next Secretary of State and our chief representative in Britain. The British leader discussed world affairs last night in New York with John Foster Dulles and Winthrop Aldrich, who will be the next ambassador to the British court. They had dinner at financier Bernard Baruch's New York home. The schedule allowed ?.7 Killed, 7 Hurt in Plane Crash BELFAST, Northern Ireland 'M— A salvage squad with Geiger coun ters hunted 12 hours today through the wreckage of a British airliner before finding a box , of "highly danger o u s" radioactive radon seeds in. the cargo. Twenty-seven persons, including two teachers from Kansas, • were killed when the British European Airways plane crashed last night. Seven other passengers were in jured. Radon—a gas given .off by ra dium salts —is used in medical radiotherapy. It-is pa,cked in small gold capsules called "seeds." The consignment came from the min istry of supply, which extracts the radon gas from radium. A ministry spokesman said the seeds were packed for safety in a lead box. The whole consignment weighed 70 pounds. The spokesman put its value - at only $4O. A horrified crowd of relatives and friends, gathered to greet the I passengers, saw the twin-engined British European Airway (BEA) plane hit a beacon tower, careen against the airport's radio control building and crumple in flames on the main runway. Wreckage was scattered for 'l5O yards. U.S. Economist Quits High UN -Position NEW YORK ("1")—A chief tar get of cotigressional investigators has quit his high post at the United nations.

But after the dinner, all Dulles would say was; "We had a good talk and covered a lot of ground." He failed- to say what ground was covered. Dulles apparently had gone to the Baruch home briefed oh what President-elect Eisenhower and Churchill took up in their talks last night. Though Eisenhower and Churchill both kept silent on any conchisions that - they might have reached in their two discus sions, Eisenhower conferred with the future Secretary of State yes terday. Baruch's home was picketed last night by 15 members .of the United Irish Counties Association in protest of Churchill's visit to this country. Eisenhower's headquarters said the president-elect plans to meet with Churchill again late today. Churchill will be at a dinner to night at- •Baruch's home with ' Thomas Dewey, governor 'a . New York but Eisenhower's secretary, James Hagerty, said it is not likely 'that Eisenhower will be able to attend the dinner. Though Eisenhower and Chur chill have remained mum on their conferences, th e possible topics of conversation may have been th e Korean War, Soviet Premier Stalin's recently indi cated willingness to meet with Eisenhower, and Great Britain's economic problems. Churchill did tell newsmen in a conference that he is opposed to any extension of the Korean War: Eisenhower also has indi cated his unwillingness to ex tend the war. Churchill also said that the "center of gravity" for world peace "lies along the frontiers of the Iron Curtain in Europe," and not in Korea.- And the Prime Minister declared that U.S. tariffs are impeding trade .with Britain and thereby are hampering British efforts to earn a "living by trade, not aid." No word is expected from Churchill about the conclusions that he and Eisenhower may have made on world affairs -un til he gets back from a vacation ill Jamaica, according to reports from London. Then he plang to make a report to his cabinet. This course is being taken to underline the informal nature of the prime minister's talks with the President-elect.
