Winnie Would OK Cease-Fire, Truce
London —(U,P)— Prime Minister Winston Churchill said today that he doubts whether Korea can be unified at the present time and that he will be satisfied if a truce can be concluded.
Opening a two-day full-dress debate on foreign affairs in the House of Commons, Churchill said it was a wonder that the dispute over the disposition of anti-Communist prisoners held by the United Nations command in Korea had been kept alive so long.
"Our immediate aim is, of course, that we obtain a truce in Korea," Clargchlull said.
"I doubt very much whether there could be any agreement at the present time on a united Korea."
But time might be a healing factor, he said, if both sides in the Korean war could stop where they would replace foreign troops with Koreans.
"Therefore, I should be content with even a truce and a cease fire for the moment," Churchill said.
Circulation Managers Meet
Circulation managers from 24 Kansas newspapers and one Oklahoma paper attended the circulation meeting, sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism and the University Extension, here Friday and Saturday. Five speakers discussed major problems of newspaper circulation, and those attending exchanged ideas about particular problems.
Eighth Army headquarters revealed that 29-ton, 240-millimeter howitzers second in size only to the atomic cannon now are in action against the Communists.
The 27-foot-long tube of the big cannon which can fire 360 pounds of explosives about 15 miles hurled shells at a mountain 2,000 yards away at a demonstration attended by high military officials.
The Army also took the wraps off its new lightweight Walker Bulldog tank, named for the late Gen. Walton Walker who was killed in Korea. It can travel faster than 40 miles an hour.
Fellow fliers were offering congratulations to jet ace Capt. Manuel Fernandez of Miami, Fla.
Capt. Fernandez, who was grounded today by fog and rain, shot down his 13th Russian-made MIG-15 jet plane Sunday over North Korea. He also scored a probable kill.
Bad weather limited activity on the 155-mile battlefront to patrol action.
American troops killed or wounded 51 Chinese in the heaviest clash which was fought on the central front. UN mortars and artillery ripped into the Chinese force in supporting American infantrymen.
