Churchill Says Hello To Ike, Adieu to Harry
New York—(U.P.)—President-elect Eisenhower buckled down to domestic problems today, having explored with Prime Minister Winston Churchill the courses of action open to leaders of a free world in an uneasy peace, and the British prime minister had a date at the White House today to say good-bye to an old friend from Missouri.
Both British and American officials described Mr. Churchill's fourth hand last official meeting with President Obama, his deputy counsel call. The important business of the Churchill trip was transacted earlier this week in his private conferences with President-elect Eisenhower in New York.
But Mr. Truman's imminent departure from office did not detract from the warmth of Mr. Churchill's welcome. Quite aside from the close alliance between their countries, the American President and the British Prime Minister have been fast personal friends since they first met at the Potsdam conference in 1945.
Mr. Truman was to be Mr. Churchill's guest at a dinner at the embassy tonight. Mr. Churchill will fly to Jamaica Friday morning for a two-week holiday.
Mr. Churchill arranged to go directly to the British embassy after his arrival aboard Mr. Truman's personal plane, the Independence. The 78-year-old statesman wanted to catch a nap at the embassy before his White House call at 4 p.m.
Informed sources said there was precious little of importance that the two men could discuss, in sharp contrast with their important White House talks here a year ago almost to the day.
U. S. Ambassador to Britain Walter S. Gifford informed Mr. Truman some time ago that Mr. Churchill did not intend to bring up any major international problems on this visit.

Two Airliners Crash in Pacific Northwest
By UNITED PRESS
In Issaquah, Wash., officials today began the grim search for the bodies of seven persons who died when a DC-4 crashed and burned last night as it approached Seattle during a driving rainstorm.
There was a hope that some of the passengers on the Army chartered plane survived the crash and the storm whipped night in the mountains after a farmer near here reported late last night that he saw flares on Hot Springs Peak, just off the plane's course.
The Flying Tiger airliner dug a 10-foot crater and burned furiously when it plowed into the farm field of Vincent Herlehy $2\frac{1}{2}$ miles south of Issaquah.
At the same time near Montpelier, Idaho, a nine-man ground party struggled through the wild, Rocky mountain wilderness in a search for a C-46 Commando transport plane missing with 40 men and one woman aboard.
The 37 passengers were Korean veterans on their way to their homes in the southern states. They were aboard a twin-engineled Curtis Commando with a four civilian crew.
Norman Christoph, director of the Montpelier Flying service, flew a light plane over Hot Springs Peak and nearby Cold Springs Ridge this morning but saw nothing that might resemble the missing aircraft.
The DC-4 wrecked in Washington was still burning furiously in a field of ankle-deep mud early today.
The four-motored plane was off course on a routine approach to Boeing field in Seattle. The Flying Tiger airliner left Burbank, Calif., earlier in the evening.
Officials of the airline said it was the second fatal airline crash in the history of the company with the only other one a crash which occurred in New Mexico in 1945.
Dick Barden, King county sheriff's deputy, was among the first to reach the sceng. He handled a walkie-talkie unit and said he could get to within only 150 feet of the burning wreckage.
Mr. Barden said the plane evidently sheared off a wing as it hit nearby Squak mountain where it was believed the pilot was headed to take a navigation bearing from an airline beacon.
The plane was the ninth transport
to go down in the west in t
months.
The nine recent tragedies have taken a toll of 276 lives.
SOS Reports Ship Broken in Half
San Francisco—(U.F.)—An SOS was received here today by Globe wireless from the SS Avanti which reported the ship had broken in half in the Pacific ocean near the Marianas Islands and some crewmen had abandoned the vessel.
The message said the "ship broke in two with 11 men on back part saved but eight men on front part and 21 men on lifeboat still drifting, if any ship nearby please give help."
