NEW YORK (AP) Winston Churchill said today resisting Communism in Korea has "done more to improve the chances of world peace than anything else." The British prime minister, arriving here for talks with President -elect Eisenhower, said the danger of World War III "has receded during the last year." He told a news conference aboard the Queen Mary that Korean war means "that Soviet aggression has been resolutely and fully confronted." "That has been the greatest event of the past five years," he said. The 78-year old British leader said his country was against any "definite extension" of the Korean Congress to Mark Time Pending Ike's Inaugural church.

Nixon the next President and vice president of the U. S. The meeting will be held in the House chamber. Mark Time for Ike Except for the likelihood of a Senate rules fight, the outcome of which was pretty much a foregone conclusion, and the receipt of several messages from the expiring Truman administration, the new 83rd Congress will then mostly mark time until Eisenhower is inaugurated two weeks from tomorrow.

Two presidential messages are due later in the week, one transmitting President Truman's budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 and the other outlining his views on the state of the union. Budget Due Friday The State of the Union message is expected Wednesday. The budget message is due Friday. Neither will be delivered personally by the President. A third message, an economic report, may Congress early next week.

Congress probably won't pay much heed to any of the three, waiting instead for Eisenhower's recommendations. Sen. Bridges (R-NH) said yes terday he expects Eisenhower, shortly after being inaugurated, to address a joint Senate-House session and present his own State of the Union message. "I think," Bridges added on a CBS television program, "that it will differ from Truman's." Expect Cut in Budget Bridges said he thinks the Truman budget, which informed sources have said will probably call for the spending of nearly 80 billion dollars in the year starting July 1, will be trimmed by the GOP. But he added that if the Korean War should be "developing more actively," there is a possibility that Eisenhower might add to the military budget rather than cut it.

He predicted overall economies and said he thinks Eisenhower intends to "pare all along the line." Bridges said that "unless something more developed" he guessed the new Senate would take no action on a report questioning whether Sen. McCarthy (R Wis) used for his own purposes funds donated to help his campaign against what McCarthy calls "Communists in Sen. Welker, (R-Idaho), terming "outlandish" the report by mocratic-controlled elections committee of the last Senate, said he will ask that it be rejected.

Eisenhower Full Impact of Bus Strike Hits Gotham NEW YORK -The first full impact of a five-day strike tieing up 3,500 privately owned buses hit New York City today. It threw a heavy load on subways and cityowned bus lines during the morning rush hour but they absorbed it without difficulty, It was of "standing room grease only" on lines that were operating, but standing was nothing new to New York's commuters. There were just more standees than usual. The strike against the city's eight privately operated bus lines for a 40-hour week and wage improvements began on the stroke of New Year's. Because of the long holiday week end its full force was not felt until today, A staggering of school hours helped lessen the rush-hour burden.

Taxis did a booming business, particularly to and from subway stations. A mass meeting of members of the CIO Transport Workers Union yesterday turned down Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri's proposal for settling the wage-hour dispute. Lewis Wants Taft-Hartley Act Repealed NEW YORK (P John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers Union president, today turned aside questions about amending the Taft Hartley act and declared, "I'm for outright repeal." "The act is a pestilence and a scourge," Lewis told reporters on his arrival aboard the liner Argentina from a South American labor conference.

He said the designation of Martin P. Durkin, AFL plumbers' union chief, as secretary of labor in the Eisenhower cabinet should be confirmed by the senate. Reminded that Sen. Robert A. Taft.

(R- had described the appointment as "incredible," Lewis remarked: "Taft is, of course, against any bona fide representative of labor serving in the cabinet." Merk Plummets in Southern Florida MIAMI, Fla. (P Many suburban dwellers around Miami scraped frost and ice off car windshields before driving to work today. Temperatures plummeted to the low 30s in suburban and rural areas away from Biscayne Bay. At Homestead, 30 miles south of Miami and the heart of an important winter vegetable growing area, the thermometer dipped to. He expressed distress with American trade tariffs, and said the United States had failed to fully share its atomic information with "Churchill declined to indicate what subjects his talks with Eisenhower will cover.

The meeting has been labelled an "informal" one, but British government spokesmen have said it may touch on a wide range of international questions. Churchill told the newsmen that prospects for peace this year "certainly are not less encouraging than they were in 1952." To a newsman who wanted to know whether the danger of world war had subsided, the prime minister replied quickly: "Leave out the word subsided for the word receded." Churchill, making his 12th visit to the United States, looked jaunty in a black outfit and yachting cap. Concerning the Korean war, the prime minister said, "we must go on and hold our position this doesn't mean there will be no improvemnet in the situation." Asked whether Britain opposed any moves extend the conflict, Churchill said: "I think it would be a great pity for the United Nations armiesor the United States armies to go wandering about all over this vast China or to make any definite extension of the war." Better Than Checkmate He said there are "worse things than a stalemate," such as that which prevails in Korea. "There's a checkmate," he said. Churchill said Korea has brought "consolidation of the chances for world peace," by uniting the free nations against aggression and by sparking a Western military buildup, But he said Korea must not divert the free nations from the "real center of gravity," which he said he believed is "along the frontiers of the Iron Curtain in Europe." Churchill said he had not heard the details of a reported plan by Gen.

Douglas MacArthur for ending the Korean war. MacArthur announced in a speech last month that a "clear and definite solution" to the conflict existed. The general later conferred with Eisenhower, Asked about economic relations between Great Britain and the United States, Churchill said: "Our views are very simple. We don't want to live on you. We want to earn our own living but if you shut the door and won't take anything that we want to make, it is hard to see how the unsatisfactory situation can be avoided or how we can find our realy strength.

That's what we mean by trade, not aid." His remarks referred to United States tariffs which make the im- J. Gerber, Russell McVicker, Howard C. Oyer and Dr. Blaun W. Sigler.
