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.
The State Department has said
the economist, David Weintraub,
is believed to be a Communist, or
under Communist discipline.
Weintraub said he resigned to
save the world organization any
embarrassment. He'd long been
director of the UN division of
economic stability and develop
ment.

substantial time for before:din
ner talks.
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.

Rigid Treason
Laws Sought
WASHINGTON (EP)—A Repub
lican Senator urged the United
States and the Western. Allies to
night to toughen up their laws
dealing with treason, espionage
and subversion in high places.
Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wis
consin said his remarks were ad
dressed to the United State s,
Britain, Canada, France and the
other free countries. He gave a
number of examples of Red in
filtration in high places, and
what he described as Allied weak
ness in dealing with th'e crimes.
In effect, Wiley said the punish
ment should fit the crime, and
he doesn't think it has.
The senator called our own
laws for dealing with espionage
hopelessly weak and obsolete.
Among other things, Wiley cited
the ban against using evidence
obtained by tapping wires.
The senator said he's asked At
torney General McGranery to
give Congress proposals for tight
ening the laws.

stroyed at least 28 • buildings.
In other air activity earlier in

munist MIGs.
Ground action tapered off again
