Laniel Joins Churchill At Parley Site Today
Tucker's Town. Bermuda—(U.P.)-Premier Joseph Laniel arrives a this holiday island today to join Prime Minister Winston Churchil in pressing for an affirmative American answer to Moscow's bid to a Big Four foreign ministers conference.
Indications are that the U.S. position on that issue will be one' of the major items discussed.
Each of the three principals will enter tomorrow's opening conference session with a diplomatic shopping list with these items in top priority:
There was speculation that the United States may agree conditionally to the meeting in Berlin. The U.S. state department has indicated those conditions would include assurances that Germany and Austria be on the agenda of the proposed foreign ministers' conference.
Churchill; A Big Four conference—at the highest level if possible—to achieve his cherished dream of crowning his career with a settlement of the cold war or achieving a peaceful way of living.
It also appeared almost certain that a Big Four meeting, if held, could not be called before mid-January because of the French political situation and France's mid-December presidential election.
Laniel: A Big Four conference, with settlement of the long and costly Indo-China war high on its agenda; assurances from the United States that U.S. troops will remain in Europe to guarantee against resurgent German militarism if France approves the European army plan.
Eisenhower: Early ratification by France of the European army plan and its provisions for rearming 500,000 West Germans as the key to America's planning for West Europe's defense.
Police Continue Ransom Inquiry
St. Louis — (J.P.)— The board of police commissioners, which heard a "verbal report" by police chief Jeremiah O'Connell on recent interviews with the Greenlease kidnapers today awaited completion of an official transcript before resuming its inquiry into the missing $303,720 ransom.
At its meeting yesterday the police board failed to act on resignation of police lieutenant Louis Shoulders, who arrested kidnapper-killer Carl Austin Hall here Oct. 6. The officer resigned Oct. 25 in anger over an inquiry by superiors into his handling of the case.
Board president I. A. Long said the resignation will not be accepted "until we get further into this investigation."
Avison to Describe Boyhood in Korea
Lady Dad, Korea, and Syngman Rhee" will be the topic of a speech by E. S. Avison, Extension representative for the University of Kansas at Kansas City, to be given at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the First Methodist church. 946 Vermont st.
Mr. Avison will tell of his boyhood experiences as the son of a Methodist medical missionary in Korea. He will describe Syngman Rhee and the influence of the Methodist missionary on Rhee's life at this important period of Korean development.
EXPERT WATCH REPAIR
Electronically Timed Guaranteed Satisfaction 1 Week or Less Service.
Laniel will arrive for the conference fresh from a shaky victory in the French National Assembly where his foreign policy was backed by a narrow, majority vote of confidence. His bargaining position is weakened by the instability of his own position and by the government he heads.
Eisenhower will come to Bermuda with the door closed to any attempt here to bring Red China into the United Nations. He made the American position on that issue clear at his Wednesday press conference in Washington.

Talks Set Today On News Strike
New York (U.P.)—Negotiators seeking to end a strike of AFL Photo-Engravers that has closed the city's seven major daily newspapers planned to meet again today after a fruitless session at which the publishers rejected a scaled-down union wage proposal.
Representatives of the New York Publishers' association and Local 1 of the AFL Photo-Engravers union met for almost two hours last night, recessing at 11:15 p.m. Frank H. Brown, regional director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation service, said the negotiators made "no progress."
Today's meeting was scheduled for 2:15 p.m. CST. The time precluded any possibility that afternoon newspapers would be able to publish today, the sixth day of the strike.
The new union wage demand was agreed on by the 350 strikers at a meeting yesterday at which they turned down, 287 to 47, a proposal to submit the dispute to arbitration. In voting down the proposal, the strikers ignored their international president, Edward Volz, who strongly recommended they accept arbitration.
Union negotiators brought to last night's session a new proposal scaling down their original demand for a $15 weekly "package" increase to $7.50. The publishers turned it down and William Mapel, president of the Publishers' association, indicated his group still stood on its original offer of a $3.75 increase.

'Come Home' May Fail on 22 Americans Said to Be Reds
Panmunjom, Korea — (U.P.)— American authorities today voiced fears that months and years of Communist indoctrination and discipline may close the ears of most of the 22 Americans, still held by the Reds, to the United Nations invitation to come home.
Doubts of the effectiveness of the brief interviews permitted with the men who chose communism arose from the second UN defeat in its efforts to win back South Korean war prisoners who elected to stay behind the bamboo curtain.
In two days, not one of 60 South Koreans interviewed rejected communism. They heard the explanations with polite but bored attention, and then returned to Red custody. Thirty were interviewed yesterday, and 30 the day before.
They said they had hoped that at least four out of every 30 South Koreans interviewed would choose to return to democracy.
In addition to losing the 30, the United Nations today lost four additional men who once renounced communism while UN prisoners of war. Today the four told Indian custodial troops they wanted to be repatriated to their Red homelands.
They were further concerned by warnings that the GFs have been organized into five "tightly disciplined Communist cells."
American and South Korean officers taking part in the explanation sessions, or sitting in as observers, were frankly pessimistic after today's explanation session.
they still were hopeful they might coax a maximum of 15 of the 22 Americans to return home. But they admitted that the Communist indoctrination and party discipline exercised over the South Koreans are proving too effective to counteract.
The "come home" interviews with the 268 ROK war prisoners remaining after today's explanations are scheduled to be completed within nine days.
Solar Energy Called U.S. 'Ace in Hole'
Washington - (U.P.) - A Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientist said today solar energy has been developed as America's "ace in the hole" to replace present power sources in an emergency.
The scientist, Dr.H.C. Hottel, said the virtually unlimited energy of the sun could be harnessed "right away" if present power sources were cut off.
