Resignation From
Churchill Likely
LONDON (AP) — Sir Winston
Churchill, wearing full court dress
and a flashing array of decora
tions gained in a half-century of
service to his country, was host
to the Queen Monday night at a
glittering dinner party..
All Britain expects that
Churchill will resign as Prime
Minister today and hand his high
office over to Sir Anthony Eden.
Just why they expect Churchill to
step down no one can say with
certainty.
Included in the 50 guests were
the young Queen and her hus
band, members of the Prime
Minister’s family, his closest per
sonal friends, top members of the
Cabinet, leaders of the opposition
party and some of Churchill's old
comrades of World War II days.
It was a list to add weight to
the belief that the 80-year-old
statesman was winding up his
last full day as head of the Brit
ish government.
Churchill Makes Speech
The British Press association
said Churchill made a speech at
the dinner but made no reference
to his rumored resignation. He
proposed the health of the Queen
and praised the British monar
chy, and the Queen in a brief
speech proposed the health of
“her Prime Minister,” the press
association said.
Word has got around in Bri
tain’s newspaperless capital that
Churchill will drive to Bucking
ham Palace to hand his resigna
tion to the Queen today.
He is expected to advise her to
name Eden as his successor and
there is no reason for the mon
arch to disregard him.
Tours of Europe
By Scooter Told
Tours of Europe on motor
scooters have been announced
by Union Tours of New York.
The tour lasts 63 days and
includes Italy, Austria, Liech
tenstein, Switzerland and France.
It will leave New York June 28.
Lambretta motor scooters will
be used on the tour after mem
bers arrive in Milan. Cost of the
tour is $1425, including the
scooter, round trip air transpor
tation, hotel accommodations,
two meals a day and the services
of an experienced guide-mechan
ic.
Further information may be
obtained by writing to Union
Tours, 15 West 36th Street, New
York 18, N.Y.
The Queen’s schedule calls for
her to visit the Isle of Grain in
the Thames River Estuary at
mid-day and it is possible Chur
chill’s visit to her will be post
poned until Wednesday.
Papers on Strike
This will be the biggest story
of the year for Britain- and there
are no newspapers here to tell it.
London’s national circulation pa
pers have been closed down by a
strike of maintenance men for 11
days.
The Prime Minister’s actual re
tirement will be a much less col
' orful affair than the party,
though no less dramatic.
He simply will drive to the
i palace as for one of his regular
audiences with the Queen, hand
her his resignation, then drive
I away.
On the return trip, his car may
I very likely pass Eden’s as the
j 57-year-old new leader of the
| Conservatives approaches the
palace in answer to the Queen's
summons.
Then, according to precedent.
| a terse announcement of the
I change will come from No. 10
Downing Street.
| Churchill has summoned a
J Cabinet meeting for noon today.
| He could then say farewell to his
: government colleagues who have
i served under him since 1951.
Later in the afternoon, he is to
answer routine questions in the
i House of Commons. His last
| words as Prime Minister may be
a reply to a Laborite demand
that any Big Four conference be
, held in Scotland.

Propaganda Expenditures
Needed to Win Cold War
Several college students around |
the country feel that the United ;
States should spend more money
on propaganda in an effort to j
win the "cold war." This fart I
was brought out in a recent po |
by the Associated Collegiate j
Press.
The ACP asked this question i
of students from all parts of the
nation:
"It has been stated by cer- j
tain sources that the United
States is losing the cold war be
cause the Russians are produc-;
ing more and better propaganda ;
Regardless of whether this state
ment is true or not, do you think
Pop Quizzes'
Draw Disfavor
NEW YORK (ACPI True
false tests took a beating and
were characterized as "sometimes
presented in a tricky manner."
according to results of a faculty
student survey taken among ap
proximately 300 Central State
College students. "Pop Quizzes"
drew even more unfavorable re
action.
Two hundred and eighteen stu
dents considered true-false tests
"inadequate to measure the
knowledge of a subject." while
69 students disagreed. Sixty-nine
students thought that “pop"
quizzes should be given, while 272
voiced objection.
A report in the University of
Buffalo Spectrum gave the fol
lowing figures:
Seventy per cent of thosp ques
tioned thought that at least three
to nine tests should be given dur
ing a semester before a semester
grade was given. Fifty-seven per
cent thought that from four to
nine or even more tests should be
averaged to estimate a final
grade. Tests frequently given
were thought to be written for
past classes rather than for the
current semester, 199 student
said, while 136 felt that all tests
appeared to be current.
Suggestions offered included
study sheets which would indi
cate material a test would cover;
and frequent tests to enable stu
dents to become familiar with
the type of test presented by pro
fessors and to give better under
standing of what to study.
"The survey seemed to reveal
that if the instructors would give
more tests the student would
study for each individual set and
thus keep his studies up to date,"
the Spectrum report concludes.
the United States should spend
more money on overseas li
braries, Voice of America radio
stations, the Point Four pro
gram, etc.?'*
The answers revealed that
moat of the students definitely
want more propaganda. Sixty
six percent of those polled re
plied yes to the question while
21 percent said no and 10 per
cent had no opinion.
Most of the students had a
definite opinion on the matter.
A junior at Adrian college in
Adrian, Mich., was one of many
who felt that "educational propa
ganda will show its mark in the
long run."
