The ambassadors of France and Turkey were to meet the premier later in the day. The four nations make up the proposed Mid-east command. In London the News Chronicle published an interview with Maher in •which the Premier said: "1 am ready to discuss the middle-east com mand with the four powers. The question of the military base for this is the key factor. I am prepared for a full discussion of condition. The important thing is that it should be on the basis of the United Nations (Charter.” The four-power proposals, reflected outright by the ousted Wafdist government in Egypt, offered to hand over the Suez Canal base to Egypt if she would join an international command as an equal part ner and permit the stationing of an international garrison in the zone.

Stassen, another aspirant for the Republican nomination, also has been entered in the New Hampshire preferential primary, but Taft made no mention of him in formally challenging Eisenhower. Prime Minister Winston Churchill . . . . . warned the west today against plunging into a war with Com munist China. He said Britain lmd made no formal commitments for retaliation if a Korean truce were reached and then broken. - In a statement to Commons on his visit to the United States, Chur hill said: "When dangers arc so much near home, one does not want to see ourselves tied down or entangled in war in Korea, still less in war in China.” . Churchill said such a situation “would, as General Omar N. Bradley said .bring In the wrong war, in the wrong place in the wrong time." . Churchill's recent remark before the United States congress that a breach of a Korean truce would bring "prompt, resolute and effective" action had been interpreted widely in the United States and Britain as meaning Britain had agreed under certain conditions to air attacks on China. “These words do not represent any new decisions arrived at during our visit,” he said, “but they do not fully express the spirit in which shall face our difficulties together.” The House ways and means committee . . . .. . voted unanimously today to cite “mystery man” Henry W. Grune wald for contempt of congress. . Grunewald’s name has been mentioned prominently in testimony about an alleged $500,000 tax shakedown racket.

Turman and Utah Wilson have been given an additional two weeks to file a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, Attorney Irvin Goodman said today. Goodman said the court granted the extension until March 15 be cause of "seriousness of the death penalty, pressure of other business on the attorneys and the brother’s affidavit that they were ‘wholly destitute of funds’.” rI’he brothers are under sentence to hang for the 1950 kidnap-sleymg of Jo Ann Dewey. .it i ; id II ' I . f l 1’ , L i I I I A Cappella Choir Will Perform Friday j nc hi. uiat Lutheran choir, on tour in the Midwest and on the West Coast from Jan. 19 and Feb. 1«, will sing at 8 p.m. Friday in the Roosevelt junior high school auditorium.
