C h u rc h i I i Appea rs To B e Sa f e From Commons Censure Motion London (U.R) Prime Min ister Winston Churchill appeared safe from censure today on his "Germans versus Russians speech, but one , of. London's biggest newspapers - demanded to know if he would "stay in power until he drops down dead." - - Churchill confessed in the House of Commons Wednesday that his memory may have failed him last week when he caid in a speech lie had ordered captured guns, "be stacked for use by the defeated Germans against the: Russians in -1945 if the" Soviets' continued '; their Dancer Loses Job -In Shooting Tragedy Los Angeles (U.R) A man killed himself on a deserted fol lies stage to gain publicity for the dancer he -loved but :never met, but her boss said today she lost her job over, the tragedy, Dancer Loretta Miller, 25, in sisted hewever, - that she gave her notice Monday night that she was quitting the show. Early yes--terday Roger W. Whittier, 26, shot himself on the stage of the New Follies theater following a gunfight with, four police of ficers. He clutched two pictures of the shapely red haired per former ..as he fell .mortally wounded oh the stage:" "We don't like this kind of publicity," said theater manager R. D...

The Xaborites seemed con tent not to press their advantage after hearing the Prime Minis ter's remarkable expression of "regrets." -' But the London Daily Mirror which has a circulation of 4,- 500,000, followed up Churchill's apology with one of the fiercest attacks by any British news paper in years against a prime minister. "Sir Winston Churchill has' turned rejoicing over his 80th birthday to alarm and dismay about his. failing powers," the Mirror, said. "What a tragedy that this man whose noble career was spent in the service of his country should be reduced to such farcial performance in the House of Commons." "How can our affairs be left any longer in the hands of a man whose memory fails him on vital lsues? " the Mirror asked. ; Newspaper Attacked ,: The Mirror spoke of Conserva tive newspapers which defended him. and asked, "Are they now going' to tell us yet again that Churchill .should stay in power until he'drops down dead? The middle of the road Times, the, Laborite Daily. Herald and the Communist Daily Worker also attacked Churchill but did not mention his age. . . .The Conservative Daily Tele graph defended him and. said that former prime minister Cle ment Attlee used Japanese troops the same year in Indo nesia to fight local rebe.1 bands which were mainly Communist controlled. : ' r x ' : Washington U:R)r-'Sen."

Cordon, who did not" vote, yesterday on the first censure roll call,' said "We are" more sinners than saints in this body." r riuaei aaia i a txisi "Our individual frailties and derelictions may vary, but they exist. And they ill fit us, I sub mit, to . don judicial robes and adopt today standards upon which ,, to censure yesterday's actions." The Oregon lawmaker didn't mention McCarthy by name, nor did he refer to the action of the six-man Senate committee which recommended that the. Wiscon sin senator be rebuked. ' . "Individual r liberty, freedom of speech the freedom to speak words which we - hate, if you please grow daily less in this harried, confused and chaotic world," Cordon said. "In this matter I shall act to further the cause of liberty;, not to restrict it. I shall be generous rather than'chance being unjust; I shall vote against censure." No Material Effect Seen - , - Cordon, whose term expires Jan. 3, said "I doubt that my contribution will be of any ma terial effect" and he warned that there could be no control over the 'effect, of what the Senate does now on actions taken- in future years.
