Churchill to Talk With Top Aides In Ike Regime
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
New York—U.R.P—Prime Minister Winston Churchill scheduled conferences today with two top foreign policy figures in the Eisenhower administration.
He was expected to press upon them his view that there can be "worse things than a stalemate" in Korea and that "the real center of gravity" lies along the Iron Curtain in Western Europe.
The British information services announced that Mr. Churehill will meet with John Foster Dulles, who will be Secretary of State, and Winthrop Aldrich, who will be United States ambassador to Britain.
Mr. Churchill met with President-elect Eisenhower for informal conversations after dinner last night at the home of Bernard M. Baruch. The Prime Minister's stand on the relative importance of Western Europe vs. the Korean conflict was made public in a shipboard press conference when he arrived in this country yesterday.
There was no hint whether Mr. Eisenhower would see Mr. Churchill again before Mr. Churchill goes to Washington later this week for an informal conference with President Truman.
On his way to his headquarters today. Mr. Eisenhower stopped at Columbia university for a courtesy call on Dr. Grayson L. Kirk, who was named yesterday to succeed Mr. Eisenhower as president of the university. Mr. Eisenhower will become president - emeritus and trustee-emeritus of Columbia the day before his inauguration as President of the United States.
Mr. Churchill's secretary said he would have a private luncheon today with "literary friends."
Details of Mr. Eisenhower's talks with Mr. Churchill remained secret.
There was speculation that a meeting between the incoming secretary of state and the British prime minister would be devoted to details of how American and British policies can be coordinated after Jan. 20 when the new administration takes office in Washington.
Churchill is staying here until Thursday, when he goes to Washington to pay his respects to President Truman. It was pointed out this would leave plenty of time for further Eisenhower-Churchill conferences if any are desired.
New York —(U.P.)—Hugh Baillie president of the United Press, said today after a conversation with President-elect Eisenhower, that Eisenhower will hold press conferences as president.
Ike to Hold Press Talks
Mr. Baillie conferred for half an hour with Mr. Eisenhower in a general discussion of press coverage of the new administration.
Mr. Baillie said they also talked over "the old days" of World War II when Mr. Eisenhower was commander of allied forces in Europe.
"I think I can say that when he gets to Washington there will be press conferences," Mr. Bailie said in an interview after the meeting.
There had been some newspaper reports that Mr. Eisenhower was being strongly urged to abandon the traditional White House press conferences in favor of regular radio and television reports to the nation along the line of the late President Roosevelt's fireside chats.
"Will they be regular press conferences?" Mr. Baillie was asked.
"Will there be questions and answers in the press conferences?"
New Radio Series Offered by KANU
Dr. Browne's visit is in no way an inspection or formal survey, Dean Smith explained. Rather, it will be an informal discussion and no formal report will be written.
The seven programs in the series include the well-documented stories of the Soviet secret police, "Terror as a System of Power"; state standards of music, "Music to Order" and Soviet MIG jets used in Korea, "The Men Who Make the MIGs."
A new documentary series currently being presented by University FM radio station KANU is entitled "People Under Communism," and is being given as an adult education project by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters.
University Extension is now at the turning point, Dean Smith said. A new dean must be selected within
State-censored theater, "Drama to Order"; Communist ideology in literature, "Literature to Order"; international Soviet diplomacy, "Pattern of World Conflict," and the appeal of Communism in Asia, "The Music and the Dream."
The half-hour program is heard every Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. on KANU which is located at 91.5 magecylcles on the FM band.
George Probst of the University of Chicago is chairman of the NAEB adult education committee which supervised the script-writing and production.
Dr. Browne has been president of the National University Extension and has wide experience in extension administration. Dean Smith said that he is recognized as one of the national leaders in his field.
"He didn't say," Mr. Baillie said "He just said 'of course there will be press conferences'"
University Extension Begins Expansion Plan
The University Extension service will begin a long-range plan for expansion during the latter part of this month, George B. Smith dean of the University announced.
The first step will come on Jan. 23 through 26 when Dr. Robert B. Browne, dean of the division of extension at the University of Illinois will be here. Dr. Browne will discuss future patterns in the light of nationwide trends in extension activities and the potentials of radio and television.
a few months to replace Dean Frank T. Stockton, who will retire this year. He was scheduled to retire in July, 1952 but was persuaded by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy to remain another year to assist with the tentative plans for expansion.
In the future the extension service is expected to play an important part in radio and television.
Errors Seen as Crash Cause
Washington — (U.P.)— Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff, said today pilot error was a predominant factor in a recent series of crashes in which 284 persons died. He said there was “no pattern” in nine major Air Force disasters since Nov. 7. In most caes, he said, bad weather was a contributing factor.
GOP, South Set To Smash Demo Filibuster Bill
Washington—(U.P.)—An old alliance of Republicans and Southern Democrats was poised today to smash a new attempt to put teeth in the Senate's anti-filibuster rule.
The attempt was launched by a motion offered by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.) less than an hour after the 83rd Congress convened last Saturday.
Senate Republican Leader Robert A. Taft told reporters that he hopes to bring the issue to a vote late tomorrow.
By agreement, debate on the Anderson motion was postponed until mid-affternoon today—when the Senate returns from its joint session with the House to count the presidential electoral votes.
The Anderson motion, calling on the Senate to adopt new rules, rejects the historic theory that the Senate is a continuing body and need not adopt new rules at the opening of each Congress.
Southern Democrats, who are concerned about protecting their right to filibuster against "civil rights" bills, conceded the Anderson motion no more than 25 to 30 votes. And backers of the proposal were claiming no more.
Thus the move appeared headed for defeat by a margin of 3 to 1 or more.
If the Anderson motion should carry, its supporters intend to follow it up with a motion to adopt the old Senate rules with a rewritten provision for curbing filibusters. Their proposal calls for allowing the votes of 49 senators to cut off debate after 14 days—instead of the 64 votes now required.
Former Student Injured in Accident
A student who withdrew from school yesterday to enter the Air Force was injured in an auto accident last night at 11th and Mississippi streets.
Lee Loyd Lowder Jr., former business junior, failed to make the turn at Mississippi street and ran up the embankment at 11th street.
Lowder was taken to Watkins hospital where Dr. R. L. Canuteson, director of the health service, said Lowder suffered slight concussions, some lacerations, and a fractured nose. His condition was described as good.
Police did not give an estimate of the damage.
