Prime Minister Churchill, determined to remain at the head the British -government, showed signs in his speech Saturday of the weight cf his ears. The British leadec, now only a few weeks from his 80th birthday, spoke slowly to the con servative conference here. His lisp was more noticeable than at the conservative conference a year ago.

Several times, reading from a prepared text, he fumbled with long words. Once a flash of the old Churchillian wit recovered the situation for him. In deep tones he said, "we have restored national sovereignty." There was an uneasy stir in the hall. Churchill smilingly looked around and corrected himself. "I mean solvency.

to rommunUt i i TO DIRECT AGAINST REDS Allies Leavins Ottawa Conference Show Opllrnisni By WILLIAM L. RYAN OTTAWA The United States appears to have taken the lead jn a free-world counter- offensive against communism which designates Asia as the principal arena. Delegates of 17 nations to the Corambo plan conference here turnedhomeward Saturday on unanimously expressed note of optimism. An almost wholly cordial reception by Asians of United States planto step up aid. coupled with thefaltering advances of free world unity in the west, seemed to indicate a determination in Washington move over to the offensive.

Stability Restored: Stassen Harold Stassen, director of United States foreign aid operations, singled out Asia as the main theater when he asserted here that a large measure of economic stability has been restored in western Europe. The Asian effort has been slower and less spectacular, and beset with perils of inflationary pressures. But the strong impression gained from the Ottawa economic conference of the Colombo plan nations was that now the Asian effort was going to be greatly stepped up. However, just as there are pitfalls ahead on Europe's long path to defensive unity, there were reasons at Otiawa to temper the general expression of optimism. The underlying political irritations remain strong.

The statesmen who a abort time ago were complaining bitterly of United State policies as a danger to Asian security are the same ones who welcomed here a United States offer of agricultural surpluses to bolster their economies. And staunch friends cf the United States such as Australia and Canada were wondering cautiously about the effect of this csffenMJ world markets, In spite 'of American insistence that it would avoid any disruption of normal trade in administering the plan. The United States alone cf the donor nations associated in the Colombo plan gave a firm indication its aid would be increased in Asia. Stassen announced that Washington intended to divert money saved because of the end of the Indo-China war to Colombo plan projects. Some sources said this might amount to as much as 700 million dollars.

wary neutralists among the Asians quickly pointed out that of the 2 billion dollars prospectively to be spent over-all this year for American aid in Asia, a lion's share goes for military aid in one form or another, and that this dots nothing to ease the fear in Asian breasts. "A Big Experiment" The Ottawa conference, first in the new world and marking the midway mark for what has been called a magnificent ex periment in International relations, was devoted solely to eco nomic matters.

11'S t-4 Drive Against Allied Rearming Plans -)eteraiinedV BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWEB WASHINGTON OP Russia is making a determined, almost desperate effort to block the rearmament cf West Germany; officials said Saturday, but so far has offered only glittering prom ises in exchange for western plans. The campaign, spear- headed by Foreign Minister Mo lotov at Berlin and by Soviet Representative Andrei Vishinsky at the United Nations, is regarded here as aimed at trying to put over in western Europe a very simple and, in the American view, a very misleading idea. What 1 wrong with the idea, as seen here, is that the Rassians have offered no positive and concrete evidence of any practical steps toward disarmament. There is considerable confidence apparent tfmong officials here that western nations will not be led into Moscow's trap on this one.

but will stand on thg old principle of "deeds not words" as the real measure cf Soviet policy. Yet is recognized that the program integrating West Germany injo western Europe and the Atlantic alliance has hit was an at week ago with unrestrained jubilation on the part of its creators. The fact is that powerful forces in France remain Just as opposed to any kind of revival of German military power as they were when the European defense community was killed off little more than a month ago. That is regarded here as the basic reason for the difficulty premier Mendes-Franee is hav- the French assembly And this, certainly must be factor 'cf tremendous weight in the calculations of Molotov and other Soviet leaders as to what they can do to prevent the development of a western defense system which would include West Germany. 4 Killed in Crah of Private Plane al3Iarine Base TWENTYNINE PALMS, Cal.

They could turn out all right and perhaps they will. On the other hand, the pollsters, prophets and prcgnosticaors are almost unanimous in Jbrecasting the loss of republican' control in both and senate. And, that wauld put the governmental machinery of the country into the, most awkward conceivable position. It has happened before that the presides! in the White House has ben of ene party and the congress, lreldinr officer TirTrnirrd to the other.

Almost incredible inaction has followed. The president, of course, was unable to jet through any program worthy of the name. Nor could the congress enact any law of which he sufficiently disapproved to veto. The in. evitable result was confusion, ineptitude, disorder and stagnation.

As Gen. Elsenhower pointed out under such conditions "politics runs wild and all classes of our citizens are adversely affected." That Is why the president has pitched into the campaign and is appealing to the people who voted lor him two years ago to give him a dependable party majority in the next congress that will enable him more fully to carry out his promises. Considering that in the recent congress the Iofs of even a single vote was serious to the administration program, it was extraordinary that so much of it got through in the session that ended in August. Of course, if control were lost, what remains, of the presidential program would be shot to pieces and the administration forced merely to mark time during the next two yean. It Is not only that In such a situation "politics runs wild" but with a democratic majority in either branch nothing the president recommended would POLITICS (Continued on Page 4, Section 1) 9 ABClS IN SHIP FIRE CASABLANCA, Morocco Norwegian freighter Emma Bakke, carrying nine American passengers, caught fire and was abandoned Saturday 200 miles off Casablanca.

Reports received here Saturday night afdi-two persons were missing, but the ship's Casablanca agent could not say whether they were passengers or crewmen. Survivors were picked up by the Argentine "steamship Cbrri-entes. (At Buenos Aires, the Dodero Shipping Co. announced the Corrientes had picked up nine passengers and 40 crew members. Radio messages from the Corrientes' captain said a Nor wcgian sailor, Engel, died of burns shortly after be ing taken aboard the Corrientes, the company said.

These reports said another crew member was trapped in the engine room of the Emma Bakke.) The fire followed an explosion in the engine room ef the vessel, which was tarrying cargo for American bases in Morocco. The ship's agent said five of the passengers scheduled to disembark here were the wives or fiances of United States service men based in Morocco. They were identified as Mrs. Bettie Davidge. Miss Martha Foster, Mrs.

Catherine Glaab, Miss Mary Ellen and Miss Leone B. Etheridge. The other passengers and their destinations were listed as: Duncan Emrich, Genoa; and Miss Betty Bellows. Howard Bristol, and Miss Rose Ma- louf, all Beirut. No home addresses were available here.

Foundry Explodes After Molotov Visit HAMBURG, Germany W) Two West German newspapers said Saturday a foundry exploded Friday in East Germany's Stalinstadt shortly after it had been inspected by Russian foreign minister V. M. Molotov. The Hamburg Abendblatt said the rumor quickly spread that it had been an attempt on Molon-tov's life by western agents. The newspaper offset the rumor, however, by saying it was well known that such accidents occur daily in Stalinstafft.

Jackson. fi'J, a a lawyer, prosecutor a iui judsre M'nee the days of th'-Rocsevelt new died sud-denly Saturday of a heart attack. The black-haired, quick-to-smile justice was driving from his home in McLean, to his office in the supreme, court building when he became ill. Finding himself near the homt of his secretary, Mrs.

Elsie Douglas, in "downtown Washington, he stopped there for help. But he died at 11:45 a. m. shortly after his physician, Dr. Hill Carter, arrived.

Jackson's death opens the way for President Eisenhower's second appointment to the high coflrt. Eisenhower named Gov. Earl Warren of California to succeed the late Chief -Justice Fred Vinson in September, 1953. Warren and Justice Harold H. Burton are the only republicans now on thc court.

The president, mourning Jackson's death, said "his exceptional legal talents and devotion to the public good 111 be sorely missed by all citUcns of our country. The news was relayed to Eisenhower at the Cherry Hills Country in Denver, where lbe chief executive had gone for a round cf Eoll earlier in the lday. Jackson's unexpected passing caught official Washington fcy surprise, and there was no immediate speculation, as to a possible successor. The president's aids in Denver likewist were at a loss. They said the president likely would wait until he returns to Waihinglon to pick a successor.

Present plans call for him to return late next week.

Some associates of w-ere inclined to feel, however, that Eisenhower might prefer to keep him in his present postT where he serves as one of the principal consultants cf the White House. Following Chief Justice Vinson's death on September 8, 1953, and prior to Warren's appointment as his Successor, several names were mentioned in speculation about possible Eisenhower appointees to the supreme court.

Among these were Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Federal Circuit Judge John J. Parker of Charlotte, N. C.
