WASHINGTON (# — No matter how you look at it, “Winnie” stole the show. After his arrival in Washington yesterday, Sir Winston Churchill ‘was with such spotlight personali- ties as President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, Secretary of State Dulles and Britain’s foreign secre- tary, Anthony Eden. But at every turn, it was the 79-year-old, pink and white British prime minister who caught every- one’s eye. With typical Churchillian show- manship, he quickly captured the airport audience by stepping smartly into view from the British stratocruiser, doffing his (ape homburg and grinning, merrily. No More Speeches This brought huzzahs and ap- plause. Once aground, Churchill steamed unerringly toward a cluster of microphones, leaving the welcoming Nixon and Dulles to bring up the rear. Once Church- ill had had his say, he spun on Dulles and Nixon and barked: “Was it all right?” : They agreed — still clutching their own undelivered mines state- ments. Then Sir Winston spied a waiting open car and made for it. ‘There were no more speeches. Churchill planted his rotund fig- ure squarely in the middle of the wide rear seat. Nixon, however, managed to squeeze himself in to the left of the relaxed visitor. Churchill then gave himself over to a swarm of photographers who clicked and flashed until they could no longer evoke the famed smile and “‘V for victory” salute. Disdains Assistance Arrived at the White House, Churchill was offered a presiden- tial assist up the steps of the north portico, Preferring his gold headed cane, the prime minister withdrew his elbow -from President Eisen- hower’s helping hand and made it on his own. . ‘ Later, after preliminary talks and a White House luncheon, Churchill, Eisenhower, Dulles and Eden assenibled in the rose garden on the south lawn to pose for more pictures. 4 Churchill and Eisenhower sat in a wrought iron canvas “cushioned love seat” — which may or may not have been symbolic of U.S.- BPitish hopes for the outcome of their harmony meeting. “Did you bring your paints?” in- red Eisenhower, himself an en- thusiastic brush-and-easel man. No Painting “No,” growled Churchill, head down and chomiping a cigar. “ll lend you a box,” Eisenhow- er offered. . “No,” repeated Sir Winston in the same gruff tone. For the photographers, Churchill trotted out virtually the same greeting he used at his Bermuda meeting last year with Eisen- hower: = “I think this is one of the big- gest firing parties I’ve ever stood up to.” In a few minutes — less than five — the shooting was over. As all hands prepared to leave, Churchill appearéd to be slow in getting up. Eisenhower again ex- tended a helping hand. “I ean get tp by myself,” | Churchill said through his cigar. Eisenhower grinned and, quick- ly withdrawing his hand. said: “I know you can get up by yourself.” ‘The first U. S. government en- tomologist was appointed June 14, 1854.

Two nations ab- Stained. The Guatemalan struggle also spurred the U. S. Senate to adopt a resolution warning ‘‘international communism” away from the Amer- icas. The motion, approved by a 69-1 vote, was generally regarded by senators as ‘‘a modern inter- Pretation of the Monroe Doctrine.” The resolution now goes to the House of Representatives; which is Although it has no force in law, | the resolution may serve to strengthen the U. S. government’s hand in combating Communist in-| filtration in Latin America. A rebel broadcast claimed Cas- tillo’s forces were holding the three most important towns in the Hon- duras border region. Asserting gov- ernment troops had deserted to the rebel side, the broadcast said the combined forces were now “march- | ing victoriously toward the capital | to overthrow Arbenz, who has de-| livered himself into the arms of the Communist rats.” Townspeople Aid quimula, 65 miles northeast of Guatemala City, the rebel com- munique said hundreds of towns- People “‘presented themselves to enlarge the ranks of our army” there. “The triumph of our forces was jubilantly celebrated by the civili- an population, which was happy to see themselves free of the Red claw,” the communique added. Chiquimula straddles the branch railway which links El Salvador with the main Guatemalan line — running between the east and west coasts by way of Guatemala City. Rebel reports said the town was strongly fortified and defended by regular Guatemalan army units and “several hundred well-armed Communists.” The communique also claimed the seizure of a military conyoy which it said had been sent from Guatemala City to reinforce the government garrison at Zacapa, about 15 miles north of Chiquimula. The clandestine rebel radio previ- ously had announced the capture of Zacapa but the communique did not repeat the claim. Air Raids Threatened Another rebel broadcast warned of further air raids‘on government- held centers and advised the peo- ple to stay away from military objectives, Yesterday’s.air attack on Guate- mala City apparently was the heaviest yet on the capital, al- though it was carried out by only two or three planes. Dispatches from the city said P47s strafed the national palace, where Arbenz was at work, and bombed an army fort. Guatemalan representatives at the U.N. said La Merced Church | also was destroyed in the raid. The | church, completed in 1813, was) known for its beautiful furnishings | and art treasures. Reports from Guatemala City said there was no indication there the rebel forces were making any material progress. In addition to claiming continued control of Chi- quimula, government bulletins said tios, Morales and Gualan.

The reports said there had been no anti-U.S. demonstrations in Guatemala City since Foreign Min- earlier this week that foreigners would be protected. The government radio said mem- hers of the Communist-led General Confederation of Labor in the cap- ital had been armed and “student brigades” created. It also reported that the city’s doctors had been formed into a medical corps and a blood bank established.

Mendoza also took time out to- day to offer a brief outline of his new book which will require about six months more of publishing.

Thinking the decrepit building was a stable, he rode roughshod into the building. Police Lt. Buster Cerezo, a keen student of horseflesh, arrested him for mistaking the city jail for-a stable. “But Crazy Knight summoned his faithful dragon, Zazu, who belched a bit of fire and burned the jail to the ground to the re- lief of civic minded Key Westers. “Future adventures may include burning the entire city hall,” Men- doza promised. But writing is demanding and expensive work and as we said bexore, Mendoza needs substance. Anyone with a job for him will be doing the literary world a great service. As Mendoza says, “everything is not Tutti-Frutti with Auld Clootie.” FLY CONTROL (Continued irom Page One) would be saved the first year of operation, except for the neces- sity of spending a large portion of the appropriation for equip- ment, which would not have to be spent in the succeeding years. The city commissioners have not taken any direct action along the proposal lines. No reason has been given for the unexplained delay. Warner said that actually the dump operation would just be an additional operation to the work load of his department. “We are certainly interested in fly control,” he said.

After learning of the scholarship results, Kistler commented, “I was just sort of shocked. I was hoping I would get it, but I didn’t count on it too much.” Kistler, who hopes to follow a military career in the Navy, said he would like to take the scholar- ship examination for the Naval Academy after completing school at Valley Forge.

Narcotics Question Told that narcotics had been found in Thorne’s room, his mother told reporters: “I never knew my boy to take drugs. He was a wonderful sod. My whole life has been wrapped around him.” Thorne, upon his return to Chica- go early this month after his fresh- man year at Fordham University, New York, did not move into his mother’s 15-room apartment in the Lake Shore Drive Gold Coast dis- trict. But Mrs. Thorne, who met Te- | porters in her plush apartment yes- terday, said her son was planning to move back with her at the time of his death. Regarding their sepa- ration, Mrs. Thorne said she had objected to some of his compan- ions and he told her he would “take a room outside.” A few days before Thorne was found dead he changed his will, naming his fiancee, Miss Maureen Ragen, 18, as his chief beneficiary. In a previous will made two years ago his mother was the sole bene- iciary. No Money Down Sale Now Going On Buy Now and Savel EISNER FURNITURE CO.
