Say Winnie Will Visit Eisenhower WASHINGTON (UP)-mats said yesterday, that dent-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower probably will receive a visit early next year from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. They said Churchill will be anxious to establish a close working relationship with his wartime friend in dealing with pressing Anglo-American problems. Churchill hasnt made any overtures on a- visit yet. But inf ormants believe he will want to come to Washington next spring, after Eisenhower gets his new administration operating.

The Prime Minister dropped a possible hint -on his intentions when he cabled Eisenhower after the election: "I look forward to the renewal of our comradeship arid work together for the same causes of peace and freedom as in the past. Britain, like the rest of the world, is waiting anxiously to see what shifts Eisenhower may order in U. S. foreign policy, especially in Korea. According to London reports, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden is supposed to take some soundings while he is here for the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.

Eden arrived in New York yesterday. And Churchill, himself, is reported under pressure to send a British representative to Korea at the time Eisenhower makes his promised peace trip. By larvl Barlaw SOMETHING new has been added to Halloween. Schools, civic or service organizations, merchants and young people, coop-aerating to lend an atmosphere carnival, it ever so slight as yet, have lifted a llow een abqve the home- spun goblins and the house-to-jaevis barlow house Hans-wursts, important as these characters are. This something new might be called merely window-dressing, depending on the viewpoint.

On the other hand, who knows, perhaps we are witnessing the birth of a new kind of comic expression and we might go so far as to coin a new word for it: If drawings on stone are called lithographs, those on leather or wood, pyrographs, why not those on, windows, thuri-graphs? To be sure, it might be just so much Greek to some, but so is some of the art! LAST week in East Pasadena, the Halloween festivities took on the name of "East Pasadena Harvest Festival. The affair was sponsored by the East Pasadena Lions Club, with Ted R. Stepp as general chairman. 69 East Colorado street merchants, from Sierra Madre blvd. to where Rancho Santa Anita begins, lent their windows.

94 Wilson Junior High students did the decoration, transfering to the windows sketches they had previ-. ously made in their art classes. This writer joined in the fun of judging the work, along with John P. Leeper, director of, the Pasadena Art Institute, and Charles Morris, Supervisor of the Art Department, Pasadena City College. Twelve were picked as prize winners; they were in order: Barbara Gorman, Marilian Mohler, Jo Ellen Mohr, Jan Mason, Steven Mejia, Boyna Butler, Don Munger, Rosemary Culp, Judy Johnson, Judy Michea, Erma Rockwood and Carol Medina.

OBVIOUSLY, there is more to all of this than a channeling of possible deviltry into more angelic ways. Two aspects are especially intriguing. First, there is the thought of art instruction in relation to a particular surface, glass that is. In this case, too, one has to do with an area often mural in size and with the problems of perspective from the standpoint of a moving observer. Second, there is the thought of the idea and' activities growing into what might become a real community Halloween, a kind of carnivalesque Harvest Festival.

KIMBERLEY, South Africa (UP) Police fired with rifles and sub-machine guns last night into a rioting mob of thousands of African diamond workers who ran amok after drinking strong kaffir beer. Police said 14 natives were killed and 34 injured and that the death toll was rising hourly. It was the worst outbreak of violence in racial-tense South Africa since 1949, when 100 were killed and thousands injured at Durban.

Eleven were killed in riots last Oct. 19 in Port Elizabeth. Police acted after the diamond workers embarked on a frenzy of arson and stoning. The trouble started at a beer hall where the workers were drinking potent Kaffir beer. It spread quickly to the Kimberly municipal camp for African employes.

Police reports said some of the drunken natives set upon others at the beer hall and then surged toward the till to rob it. Beer hall employes turned them back and called police. More and more diamond mine workers recruited from the tribal areas of South Africa joined in. The mob stormed the camp offices, setting them afire, and then turned to face police forces. Police said they faced thousands of shouting, hostile demonstrators silhouetted by the flames of the burning offices of the largest diamond mines in the world.

Stones rained on the police as the drunken crowd surged forward and sbnashed windows on the police cars and wagons. One police van was overturned. New flames blossomed from the camp post office and other buildings and the police unlimbered Sten guns, rifles and revolvers and fired at. point-blank range into the howling mob. The crowd broke and scattered, leaving their dead and wounded behind.

The post office and camp offices burned to the ground. At intervals smaller fires broke out in the camp buildings. Ambulances set up a shuttle service between the wrecked and blazing camp' and the city hospital in this tense city of 56,000.
