Churchill Denise Churchill Renews Demand for Meet Of "Big Four" MARGATE, England (UP) — Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced today that he will persevere in seeking a conference of the chiefs of state of the four great world powers. In his first big speech since astone, when illness forced him to take a rest, Churchill told a Conservative party meeting that he and Foreign Secretary Anthony Edan are concentrating on finding a secure foundation for world peace." With the help of the United States, he said, he hopes it will be possible to avoid a third world war. To Stay in Office The 68-year-old Prime Minister also said: 1. He intends to remain in office so that he may be able to help in building a sure and lasting peace. 2. He has no intention of calling a parliamentary election this year and so far as he can see there will be none next year. (The present House of Commons was elected in October, 1951, for a five-year term.) British Guiana 3. It was better to be in good time in sending troops to British Guiana, to head off the threat of a Communist coup; than to be too late. "Sufficient forces to preserve peace and order have now been safely landed." Churchill said he thought the "sense of crisis in our world relations" was less now than it was two years ago. He recalled to the 4000 cheering delegates that he had previously proposed "friendly, informal, personal talks between the leading figures" of the Big Four powers. Talks Might Help Such talks, he said, "might do good and could not easily do much harm, and one good thing might After calling for Yugoslav control over all but the city of Trieste itself, Tito said: "I have no other and do not wish to find any other proposal." He warned that if the Western Allies do not accept his plan, "there will be no peace in this part of Europe." Italy Takes Steps (Reports from Trieste said 30,-000 Yugoslav reinforcements had arrived in the Yugoslav zone from Lublana, Flume and Gorizia, on the Italo-Yugoslav frontier.) In Rome, Italy's Premier Glusepe Pella summoned the American and British ambassadors to confer with him today on the worsening Trieste crisis. American Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce and British Ambassador Sir Victor Mallet were scheduled to meet with Pella. Tito ordered three armored divisions into Trieste to reinforce the 3000-man garrison already there. Under the terms of the previous arrangement, Yugoslavia is entitled to maintain 5000 troops in its zone. The opposing Yugoslav and Western forces were only a few miles apart. Tito's New Plan Tito's new plan for partition of the territory which has been a bone of contention with Italy since the end of World War II, would make the city of Trieste itself an autonomous area, under Italian control. The rest of the 285-square-mile territory, Tito would make an autonomous area, under Italian control. Tito warned that Yugoslavia will accept as "an act of aggression" any move by Italian troops to move into the area of Trieste the United States and Britain proposed to hand over to Italy. Yugoslavia, he said, reserved the right to "use force of arms" to protect the peace.

U.S. Food Program in East Germany Ended BERLIN (UP) — The United States today ended its program to feed hungry East Germans, a humanitarian effort that proved to be one of the most successful moves in the cold war against Communism.

Distribution of the seven-pound parcels cost about $7,000,000. The flow of millions of food seekers to West Berlin distribution centers in the face of Communist threats and terrorism was considered by western officials to be a great defeat for Communism. The food packages were a sign to East Germans they were not forgotten by the West and that the U.S. was ready to give help, not just promises.

Muzzles of guns on the tanks howitzer, flame throwers and machine guns were pointed pointed north toward the Communist lines and south toward Seoul. The Leathernacks took up positions which, until Friday, had been occupied by tough South Korean Marines, who were in a spot to lead ROK "liberators" into the troubled compounds. Explanations to Start As the Marines began their defense of the Indian controlled prisoner camp, the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission asked the Communists to begin their "explanations" to anti-Red prisoners Monday. An observer for the commission inspected sites for temporary use of Communist "brain washers" and found them suitable for use until the United Nations Command completes construction of permanent structures. A semi-official spokesman for the Reds had indicated hours earlier that the Communists might be ready Monday to start attempting to lure the reluctant prisoners back to their homelands. Eisenhower Warning Marine cannonners and tank men moved into their battle stations on the south bank of the Imin River and placed their guns in a position for firing on any troops trying to enter the compounds. The Marines' action followed warnings to the South Korean government from President Eisenhower against attempting to carry out threats to free the anti-Communist prisoners by force. In Washington, the State Department cautioned South Korea to use "forebearance and moderation" toward the explosive prisoner question which threatened to erupt into an armed clash between Indian and United Nations Two Men Admit Burglary Counts SANTA ANA — Two men, admitting burglary and receiving stolen goods, will have probation hearings Oct. 23 as the closing chapter in the entry Aug. 20 of the home of Dr. and Mrs. Harold Lewis in Santa Ana Canyon.

Claim Farmers Would Approve Dam for Water Conservation in Carbon Canyon SANTA ANA—If the proposed Carbon Canyon Dam could be a water conservation structure as well as for flood control, farmers of Orange County would approve its construction by the county—instead of waiting for the federal government to build it, Rancher George Kellogg said today. Kellogg, chairman of the powerful water committee of Associated Chambers of Commerce, said that farmers have been "traditionally" opposed to large outlays for such dams since the federal government took over the county-wide series of eight such dams and reservoirs prior to War II. However, only Prado, Brea and Pullerton dams were built before the conflict interrupted, and the Army Engineer Corps has made no move to reinstate the program despite repeated requests from this county's officials. Kellogg recommended that the Associated propose that the board of supervisors ask to regain control of the program, and undertake the Carbon Canyon Dam construction with county funds. Prior to the war, it had been estimated to cost $3,500,000 for construction. Kellogg said that the county could do it cheaper even though costs have skyrocketed; at any rate, he figured it would cost no more than the original estimate, even if strengthened to provide water conservation features.

Navy Reports Mines Floating Off Coast NEWPORT BEACH — Coastwise shippers and fishermen were looking today for mines — something new in their routine after the U.S. Navy reported that some 165 practice mines used in a cent maneuver have not yet been recovered. Coast Guard headquarter Newport Harbor said that a mine was recovered at Ingle Point, three others near Hoots Beach, and five marks Oil City. The Navy used 200 tons and torpedoes in the practical maneuvers but has not recorded all of them, the Coast Guard said. Each of the mines weighs about a half-ton, but they are not dangerous as to explosive content; most are dids and ones loaded have small charge of powder merely to mark their contact if they should be hit in the war games. Should a light craft strike one of the floating mines, much damage to the cast could result, it was explained. Weather Mostly sunny today and Sunday but variable high cloudiness and patches early morning fog. Cooler this afternoon with high near $32.
