CHURCHILL MAY CLARIFY
TALK OF PEACE FLIGHT
LONDON Iff) Prime Minister!
Churchill is expected to throw
some light today on persistent ru
mors that he is thinking of making
a one-man peace pilgrimage to
Moscow if Britain’s Western al
lies continue to cold-shoulder bis
idea of top-level East-West talks.
Several members of the opposi
tion Labor party announced they
would question the Conservative
leader on this and other major
policy -matters when Parliament
reassembles today.
The Prime Minister’s aides said
he may make bis position clear
at that time. Foreign Secretary
Eden also wac scheduled to make
a statement during the opening
session of the House of Commons
on the decisions reached by the
Big Three foreign ministers here
last weekend.
Churchill was said not to have
abandoned his original proposal for
an intimate round-table discussion
on world problems.
He was said to have broached
the subject to (J. S Secretary of
State Dulles during the Big Three
meeting here, but Dulles reported
ly was cold to the idea even
though he did not close the door
on it
Churchill, who will be 79 next
mooth, made his first call for talks
on the highest level last spring.
Arrangements for a meeting
with President Elsenhower and
France’* Premier in Bermuda to
prepare for such a meeting with
Soviet Premier Malenkov .were

tors ordered him to take a rest
Back in harness again—and look
ing his old chipper seif—Churchill
reportedly set out quickly to push
his proposals.
Most British newspapers carried
renewed reports today—attributed
to unnamed diplomatic sources in
Paris-rthat Churchill waa deter
mined to try to arrange a direct
approach to Malenkov even if he
has to go it alone.
The reports said if necessary the
doughty old statesman is willing
to fly to Moscow for such a meet
ing. A British foreign office spokes
man told newsmen last night he
had nothing to say regarding these
reports.
In cold-shouldering the idea,
Dulles was reported to have ar
gued during his visit here that
the Big Three should at least await
Russia's reply to their formal in
vitation to a foreign ministers’
conference at Lugano, Switzerland,
Nov. 9 to discuss German unity,
Austrian independence and Euro
pean security.

Fla. Training
Camp Is Site
Of New Movie
The Florida training farm of the
New York Giants form* the color
ful background of the warmly hu
man drama and love story which
will unfold on the Monroe Theatre!
screen beginning Thursday in ’’Big
Leaguer,” new M-G-M offering
starring Edward G. Robinson and
Ver-EUen.
This is the story of the hundreds
of eager youngsters who dream of
someday playing baseball with a
big league team, and, particularly
the story of young Adam Polachuk
(Jeff Richards), who has a two
fold problem on his hands wtftn he
arrives at the training quarters for
the two-week tryout which will
determine whether be is of big
league calibre. First he must prove
his mettle as a third baseman to
the farm’s manager, Lobert (Ed- 1
ward G. Robinson) and to the great
jCarl Hubbell (playing himself.)
Then he must convince his Pennsyl
vania coal miner father, who be
lieves him to be at college study
ing law, that baseball is the only
thing in life that matters to him.
However he does both, with the
help of the girt who loves him,
I makes for a story replete with dra
matic tension, human appeal and
the unflagging color and excite
ment of baseball thrills.
The cast is a topnotch one. Ed
ward G. Robinson makes a lovable
figure of Lobert, the man on whose
shoulders falls the responsibility of
finding fresh talent for the Giants
and whose sympathetic understand*
ing guides the fledglings. Jeff Rich
ards, who actually was a ball
player before becoming an actor,
gives complete validity to the part
of Adam Polachuck. Vera-Ellen,
who rose to starmdom as a dancer,
now proves herself equally adept
in straight drama with the role of
Christy, the attractive girl who
convinces Adam that if he runs out
on baseball he Is really running out
on himself.
Also standing out are Richard
Jaeckel as a cocky young pitcher
who fails to make the grade with
the Giants but who makes a sur
prising comeback on the rival
team, William Campbell as the
brash big-city boy who proves him
self a formidable and
William Crandall, playing the son
of a famous baseball star.

Presidents Of
U.SL, Mexico
Pledge Faith
By ROBERT H. JOHNSON JR.
FALCOM DAM, Tex. Iff) A
gleaming monument of stainless
steel marks the border where the
| Presidents of the United States and
j Mexico pledged friendship as
strong as international Falcon
Dam.
Presidents Eisenhower and Ad
olfo Ruiz Cortines stood yesterday
in front of the monument where
an imaginary line across the dam
separates their countries and ded
icated the Falcon project as a sym
bol of unity.
Earlier, Eisenhower crossed the
Rio Grande to the brand new town
of Nuevo Guerrero as the guest
of Ruiz Cortines at a musical fes
tival that had a note of tragedy.
A plane carrying 14 or more
persons to the fiesta, including bal
let dancers to perform for Eiaen
, bower, crashed between Monterrey
(and Nuevo Guerrero. All aboard
were believed lost. But there was
no indication that either President
had been informed of the crash.
Following the fiesta, Eisenhower
entertained Ruiz Cortines and
some 500 guests at lunch on the
Texas side of the dam before the
dedication ceremony. Both presi
dents flew back to their capitals
last night.
Three thousand sweating citizens
of both nations held out against
the blazing border sun to cheer
their chiefs of state at the dedi
cation.
The sun struck shafts of light
from the V-shaped, 60-foot monu
ment. The moment of dedication
came when drapings around its
base were dropped, revealing the
great seals of both nations, one
on each side of the V.
Speaking slowly, intensely and
in Spanish, President Ruiz Cortines
told the crowd at the dedication
that the dam was more than any
thing a source of “human pros
perity” for “a vast group of hu
man beings—men, women and chil
dren—without distinction of na
tionality, race, language or reli
gion”.
President Eisenhower, looking
out over Falcon Lake toward the
church tower that is the only thing
you can still see cl the inundated
town of Falcon, Tex., said the dam
in the deepest sense was “created
in the hearts of the citizens of
two nations who respect and be
lieve in one another”.
He said these are people who
despise totalitarianism in any form
and -he promised friendship and
concern for the well-being not only
of Mexico but of all the neighbor
Americas.
Artillery pieces boomed 21-gun
salutes as the two Presidents left
the border to return to their own
banks of the Rio Grande.
The dam was built to conserve
water and prevent floods for the
rich citrus and vegetable lands
that extend through the river’s
lower valley to the Gulf of Mexico.
It cost about 47 million dollars.

Baha’i Followers
Celebrate Birth
OfTheir Prophet
On Monday evening the Baha'i
Group of Key West held a meet
ing to commemorate the anniver
sary of the birth of the Bab. The
Bab was the first of the prophets
of the Baha’i World Faith. The
name Bab means "gate.” The Bah
was the inaugurator of a separate
religious dispensation. This dispen
sation was of short duration and
restricted in range because he ap
peared and taught among the fan
atical religious tribes of eld Persia.
’Abd’ul-Baha says of the Bab in
Some Answered Questions: "The
Government, the nation, the doc
tors of divinity, and the great per-!
sonages, desired to extinguish his
light, but they could not do so. At
last his moon arose, his star shone
forth, his foundations became firm
ly established, and his dawning
place became brilliant. He impart
ed divine education to an unen
lightened multitude and produced
marvellous results on the thoughts,
morals, customs, and conditions of
the Persians. He announced the
glad tidings of the manifestation
of the Sun of Baha to his followers,
and prepared them to believe.”
The teachings of the Bab so up
set and disturbed the old order of
religious divines of Persia that he,
and many of his followers was
martyred for his stand for the new
rules, new laws, and anew re
ligion. He is remembered today as
a perfect educator.

Tempting Targets Are lined
Up As Indochina Objective
HANOI, Indochina (*-If Com
munist chief Ho Chi Minh decides
to launch an offensive in Indo
china any time soon, three tempt
ing targets are luted up like wood
en ducks.
They are: the vast, sprawling
Red River Delta, embracing the
cities of Hanoi and Haiphong; Lai
Chau, 200 miles northwest of Hanoi
{and capital of the pro-French
mountain tribes; and the little
mountain kingdom of Laos.
Avenues of attack for the Com
munist Vietminh are much wider
open today than a year ago. For
the Reds have conquered more
territory.
j The French say most of this is
* mountainous, economically unim
portant, and of little strategc
value. Nevertheless, the Red tide
has swept much deeper into Indo
china.
Hie French High Command says
the Vietminh can hurl eight Chi
nese-trained and Chinese-equipped
divisions into new drives. Seasonal
monsoon rains have ended and
there’s clear weather ahead for
large-scale fighting.
The Red River Delta is probably
the most attractive target. The
wedge-shaped, 400-mile defense
perimeter of the French there,
ringed by 1,200 reinforced concrete
fortifications, is surrounded by
Vietminh forces everywhere ex
cept for a stretch of 160 miles
bordering the Gulf of Tonkin. This
runs from Phat Diem, in the south
easternmost part of the delta, to
Moncay, in the extreme northeast
ernip of Indochina.
Thus, it’s easy for the Vietminh

to move divisions right up-to the
perimeter before launching an at
tack on the delta.
While the French await the next
Vietminh move, they are busy in
the delta trying to wipe out 50,000
Vietminh regular and guerrilla sol
diers who roam about sabotaging
French lines of communication, at
tacking Vietnamese villages and
ambushing French patrols.
