Mendes-France May Get Red
Support In Bid For Power

In search of some solution, but he
insists the safety of French forces
in the war-torn land should be the
first consideration. He contends
peace negotiations must not imply
capitulation to the Communists.
Communist support of the Pre-
mier-designate appeared a posi-
bility despite the fact he has said
he does not want it.
The Reds and their supporters
control 80 of the 625 Assembly
votes. It takes 314 for confirma-
ton, and the Communist bloc could
spell the difference between vic
tory and defeat.
Mendes-France said earlier this
week he would not take the pre-
miership unless he got 314 votes
without the Communists. A later
statement indicated he might have
changed his mind.
There seemed little chance
Mendes-France would get support
from Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault's Popular Republican
Movement, which is pressing for
a quick vote on the edo. Socialist
support also appeared doubtful.

Churchill May Push For Closer Teamwork

us. officials raised the possible
ty of congressional address to-
day, and also the alternative that
Churchill might choose to make a
major speech before an unofficial
body. such as a press group.
Diplomatic sources noted Church
i'll has spoken before Congress sew
eral times in the past in the course
of eight visits to the United States
since the beginning of World War
II. However, they said no invita-
ton for a congressional appearance
has yet been issued for the visit,
which begins a week, from tomor-
row.
The other possibility was suggest
ed by Eisenhower himself at his
news conference yesterday. He said
a British friend had reminded him
that on visits to Washington
Churchill was always a luncheon
guest at the National Press Club.
Distinguished visitors often speak
there.
Plans for the visit, announced
Tuesday, are still in process Of
development. Churchill, British
Foreign Secretary Eden and staff
aides are due to fly from London
next Thursday afternoon and arrive
in Washington sometime Friday.
The talks between the chiefs of
state will begin Friday afternoon
or at latest Friday evening, inform
ants said, and will 60 on at least
through June rs and u. Churchill
and Eden are expected to remain
as White House guests through Sun
day. If there is then reason for
their remaining in Washington one
or two days more they, may move
to the British Embassy.
Diplomatic inf0rmants continued
to insist that there will be no fixed
program of subjects for discussion.
They said Churchill's interest in
coming here primarily is to have
a series of private conversations
with Eisenhower. If there is any
formal comforting on world prob
lens to be done, one informant
suggested that it probably will be
handled by Eden and Secretary Of
State Dulles and their top advisers.
Eisenhower told his news confer
ence his main aim at the informal
meeting with Churchill would be to
strengthen Americas bridge of
friendship with Britain. There is
no fixed agenda, he said, but the
talks will deal with virtually every
urgent world problem, including
the Southeast Asia crisis.
Authorities discount strongly any
speculation that the 79-year-old
British leader will urge Eisenhow-
er to agree to arrange a confer
ence with Soviet Premier Ma.

Then the wildly yelling rebels
