Thus when Foreign Secre-

he will have no "open &C

There is no question that a

Churchill's unexpected dec

though the British leader had
been fully informed of the
anxiety of the American peo-
pie to see the Korean cam
paign ended as soon as possible
and the elected representa-
tives had reason to believe
that our allies and especially
Britain would dovetail their
policies with ours, Mr.. Church
i'll poured cold water on these
expectations. He stated-and
his words had the same effect
as if he had spoken from the
floor of the House of Com
mcns-that Britain was OPP
posed to an indefinite extern
sion of the war in Korea.
Moreover, Churchill declared
that he considered the fringes
of the Iron Curtain in Europe
as the center OF gravity Of
the East-West conflict. In
other words, Britain's fore

on America before he set foot
ashore that he would do his

New York Presents q Poor Example of Democracy

States, as it is into Switzer-

For years the port of New
York has been under the iron
control of a union allied with
criminal rings, among whose
members are multiple-caSe
murderers, thugs and thieves.
New Workers know it. but to
date no city administration,
reform" or otherwise, has
proved able to do anything
about it. Visitors to our
shores, whether they realize it
OF not, land in a den of pirates
and worse.
Here is situated the United
Nations-on this great con-
tinent in it's most crowded city,
and one of its most misman-
aged.
Transportation in New York
is already an almost insoluble
problem. Daily, millions pour
into the work places of the
long narrow strip of Manhat-
tan from outlying boroughs
and suburbs, by train, bus. and
in private cars. Adequate park
ing facilities for the latter are

crosstown streets are used,

The quickest way to cover the

Constantine Brown:

Prime Minister Churchill
has left the United States a
somewhat disappointed man.
He broke all diplomatic prec-
edents and came unlimited to
greet informally the Presi-
dent-elect and bid farewell to
the. outgoing Chief Executive.
This, at least. was the explana-
ton given for his trip.
But in fact, he fastened to
these shores in an attempt to
obtain assurances from the in
coming President that our fu-
ture foreign policies in Asia
and Europe would dovetail
with Britain's.
Mr.. Churchill hoped to re-
peat his performances of the
past, when through informal
chats and heart-to-heart stalks
he and our late President
Roosevelt 4eached certain ,
agreements which became
binding on the political and
military strategy in the last
war.
Whether Mr.. Churchill's po-
litical intelligence was faulty
or whether this time he relied
too much on his powers of
persuasion is a matter for the
Prime Minister to decide. The
fact is that he was unable to-
obtain, according to qualified
informants, anything more
than the most courteous hear
ing.
Unlike President Roosevelt,
Gen. Eisenhower does not re-
gard the Senate as a rubber
stamp in matters of foreign
affairs. He means to work in,
full partnership with the 83d
Congress. And since he pledged
himself to Republican sena-
torial leaders to enter into no
deals with foreign representa-
tives, the President-elect is
said to have withstood un-
f1inchingly the three-hours-
long verbal assaults of the
usually persuasive British
leader.

Churchill contacted he heard

Searchers Still Seek
Bodies Of Six Killed
In Bomber Collision
BY the Associoted Press

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. TO-
Disaster crews continued their
grim search today for the man
gled bodies of six Of the nine
airmen who died when their B-50
bomber crashed into swampland
Thursday night.
The Air Force last night off,

of the bodies could never be re-
covered from the marshes. Three
were found after the crash, and

hope that some of the six others
might have parachuted to safety.
Parts of some bodies were found
yesterday, none large enough to
identify.
A collision with another B-50
about $4,000 feet over Savannah
started the huge bomber on its
fatal plunge. 1t exploded and
burned after ripping crater 20
feet deep in river bend between
two residential subdivisions in
suburban Isle of Hope. The crash
site is about seven miles south
east of Savannah.
The other plane landed at
Hunter with its crew of 10 un-
hurt. although part of it's tail as
Sembly was sheard off.
Col. Henry j. Amen, Hunter
commander, said last night
enough parts may be salvaged
from the wreckage to determine
the exact cause of the crash.
There were indications the pilot,

Okla. tried to bring in" the
crippled air giant. He cleared
Parkersburg, a heavily populated
area, before the plane plummeted
into the mud.

vestigators were unable to get
at the wreckage after their ar
rival yesterday because reddish,
oil-stained pool of water covered
it in it's crater. Parts of the
wreckage were strewn for hun
dreds of yards.
1t. Col. Colin c. Hamilton, who
landed the other bomber, said he
first thought the plane was
struck by lightning when the ILL
fated B-50 collided with his
plane. He said his plane had a
violent shud0er."
His tail gunner reported part
of the rea- assembly was missing
and the crew decided they had
been struck by another plane.

He Had Hoped but He Still Has Our Friendship

gard Korea as a mere side
show in our global commit
ments. which we naturally
wish to solve but must under
take no drastic methods.
To the vast majority of Sem

both parties. Mr.. Churchill'S
words had a Notwithstanding
effect, particularly since they
had hoped from a previous
declaration of an official
spokesman of the Foreign Of
fee that Britain would be
willing to stand by us. within
it's limited capabilities, in the
event of an all-out effort on

unusually we'll thought out
policies on the American Gov
ernment which he has always
praised for staunchly standing
by his country. The effect on
the American Congress was
clear when the suggestion that
Mr. Churchill address a Joint
session remained unheeded.
Nobody can find fault with
the British Prime Minister for
trying to do what he con-
siders best for Britain. But the
majority of our political think
ers maintain that under the
present world conditions what
may be best for Britain or our
allies is not necessarily best
for America.
The fact that Mr.. Churchill
has left the American shores

mitments-verbal or other

mean that our close relations
with Britain are in any way
impaired. Quite the contrary;

II
Limit Of 25Per Cent
On Income Tax Rate
Proposed in House

Representative Reed, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, yesterday pro-
posed a ban on income tax rates
higher than 25 per cent, except
for an additional IS per cent if
voted by three-fourths of each
branch of Congress.
His suggested Constitutional
amendment is similar to a
resolution he and Senator Dirk
sen, Republican, of Illinois,
sponsored in 1851.
The amendment proposed to-
day also would prevent Congress
from imposing death and gift
taxes at any time. 1t would
leave such levies to the States.
The recommended IS per cent
limit on individual and corpora
ton Federal income taxes could
be suspended completely in. time
of war.
The revised resolution would
be referred to the House Judici-
ary Committee and not to the
Ways and Means Committee
headed by Representative Reed,
a New York Republican unre-
lated to the Illinois member.
Mr.. Reed urged Congress
to approve the Constitutional
amendment resolution and sub
NIT it to the States as soon as
possible to avoid possible "seri-
Gus danger"
He noted that % States, since
1889. have passed resolutions re-
questing Congress to call a
constitutional convention to pro-
pose tax limitation amend
ment.

The explanation may lie in
the simple fact that Winston
Churchill is great man, su-
perbly aware of his own great
ness. Il did not become Prime
Minister to preside over the
liquidation of the British EN-
pire," or words to that effect.
With the empire, nevertheless,
partially liquidated, his conf

diminished and with it his
ability to capture the conf
dence of others.
All of this would be merely

the fact that Churchill has

United States Senators have

ferences and for the very

fear the Churchill power of

have overcome Gen. Eisen-

to take the premiership away
from Grotewohl. Ulbricht at
present is first deputy premier.
To prevent an open fight, the
Soviet control commission has
referred the matter to Moscow

graf added.

But Churchill is not as other
