Pastor Says Churchill
Loaded at Fulton
BY the Assoeiofed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 5.-A
charge that Winston Churchill
LOADED" himself with liquor and
"then spoke the words that almost
from that day set the world af1re
with hatred" was put forth by one
of the Nations leading Baptist min
listers here last night.
DR.. Bernard C. Clausen, pastor Of
the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church
in Cleveland, Ohio, said the war
time British Prime Minister spoke
his piece calling for an ironclad
British American alliance on a day
in 1916 when "the international
scene was strewn with dynamite"
and an "uncautious word" could
lead to war and catastrophe.
It was in Fulton, MO-, where he
was to share the speakers platform
with President Truman that Mr..
Churchill alighted from his train,
DR.. Clausen charged, and then:
HE loaded himself with cham
pagne and whiskey and highballs
and wine, and then he spoke the
words that almost from that very
day set the world aflre with hatred" !"
DR.. Clausen delivered his indict-
ment of Churchill in connection with
an even more blistering blast against
stron gdrink and its effect as he
spoke on a program Of the current
preaching mission being held here.
The Cleveland minister referred to
Mr.. Churchill's historic appeal de-
livered in Fulton before patrons Of
Westminster college, for virtual
British-American military pack to
halt Russia's indefinite expansion
Of its power and doctrines"

Churchill Fails 10 Get
British Publication Of
1889 Nazi-Soviet Pact
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

LONDON, Feb. S. - Winston
Churchill sought unsuccessfully yes
terday to have Great Britain pub
lish the secrets of the Nazi-Soviet
pact of 193s-1s4l.
Foreign Secretary Bevin ques-
toned the wisdom of disclosing the
secrets which were released publicly
by the State Department jan
uary %.
Pressed by Mr.. Churchill to fol-
low the United States lead, MIR
Bevin said the matter would have
to be considered carefully. The
government, he added, has the ques-
ton under consideration.
Commons Need Cited.
Mr.. Churchill asked that the doc
uments be published for the guild
ance of the House of Commons.
There is no reason why the
Americans should have this mass OF
material which is denied the British
House of Commons" the wartime
Prime Minister said.
There are many matters Of high
consequence in this American pub
lication of knowledge which is es-
sential for correct judgement to be
formed.
"WilI the Foreign Secretary also
bear in mind that the members OF
Parliament have great responsible
ity in expressing their opinions and
giving their votes on foreign affairs. "
Move Seen Impetuous.
Mr.. Bevin replied that whatever
happened in 1889 and 1941, I have
got to consider what Is likely to
happen from 1947-8."
He added he could not take the
step "impetuously because somebody
else had done it."
Laborite c. c. Poole asked that
Mr.. Bevin bear in mind that "the
prime overriding consideration at
the present time is the preservation
Of the peace of the world"
II agree entirely with that" Mr..
Churchill said, Subject, of course, to
the interests of truth and the House
of Commons being properly
equipped to discharge its duties"
