Roosevelt. Churchill's retirement as the British Prime Minister was front page news throughout the free world except in London itself where the presses have been 6tilled by a newspaper strike. No Soviet Comment Behind the Iron Curtain the Soviet Communist party newspa per Pravda devoted only two paragraphs at the top right hand column of page three to the news. There was no comment. . There were tributes from friends. President Eisenhower said "Out of your great experience, your great wisdom and your great courage, the free world yet has much to gain." Former Enemies Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles called Churchill "one of the great men of history." There were tributes from lead ers of former enemy nations. West German Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer said "it is one of Sir Winston's great achievements that the Western world lives in freedom." Political opponents also spoke kindly.

Some Are Unfriendly Not all comment was friendly. The Paris Communist newspa er l'Humanite carried a grim caricature of Sir Winston with the caption "Forced by age, Win ston Churchill resigns." In Dublin the Irish Press, for mer Prime Minister Earqon de Valera's newspaper, said "his Eden's Marital Status May Ease Way For Princess To Take Townsend as Husband London (U.R) The fact that Prime Minister Anthony Eden is the innocent party in a divorce case may ease the way for a marriage between Princess Mar garet and RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend, it was believed today. A well placed authority on royal protocol said the Eden ap pointment by Queen Elizabeth II would have "interesting" reper cussions and admitted "it might one day become bound up with the Margaret-Townsend story. Remarriage Not Recognized 1 Townsend, like Eden, was the innocent party in a divorce. But the Church of England does not recognize a remarriage by a di vorcee if the other spouse is still living. Eden was the first divorced man ever summoned to be Prime Minister, and the Queen is de fender of the faith, pledged to uphold the rules of the church. Today she not only received Eden at Buckingham palace but charged him with the highest office she can confer.

He knew the truth and he acted against it." Other Irish newspapers were friendlier. Dublin's Irish Inde pendent said "Irishmen may have grievous cause to quarrel with Churchill . . . but . . . when the people of Britain stood face to face with utter ruin we ad mired the man who came for ward to rally them when all seemed lost." ' The palace authority said one of the duties of the Prime Min ister is to advise the throne on important matters. One such conceivably could be any talk of marriage between Elizabeth's younger sister and the 41-year-old Townsend. Private Investors May Be Needed for Atom Development San Francisco '(U.R) A finan cial expert says American inves tors will have to supply at least $40,000,000,000 to pay for the cost of developing atomic ener gy in the next 20 years. This prediction came Tuesday from Gordon R. Molesworth, atomic energy consultant to the New Yoik Stock Exchange firm of Harris, Upham and company. He spoke, to 600 industrialists and scientists attending the sec ond of a two-day atomic energy conference Enormous Sources Needed Molesworth said "enormous" financial resources will be need ed for atomic power develop ment. Financing of nuclear pow er facilities alone will require $20,000,000,000 he said. "The great bulk of these funds will be required by electric util ity firms, and they will be need ed in large blocks of perhaps $50,000,000 each," he said. Nothing for Power Another $20)00,000,000 will probably be required for "pack age" power reactors, for ship board nuclear propulsion sys tems, for locomotive and air craft reactors, he said. "Beyond that, we have as yet allowed nothing for domestic fi nancing of power reactors and other nuclear facilities for the foreign market," Molesworth said. . "The opportunities abroad will be huge and I, for one, hope that U.S. industry's share of that market will be preponderant. If it is, even more capital will be required and some of it quite soon."

Low Down Payments Easy Terms HE Baldock Objects To Weighmaster Control by Police Salem U.R)R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer, yester day objected to a bill before the House Highways committee that would take state weighmasters out of the highway department and put them under state police control. Baldock asserted that enforce ment of overload laws had been more effective since the highway department assumed the func tion in 1941 and that overloaded trucks were ruining the high ways while the stated police had charge of weight scales. Citizen Arrest Powers For 10 years the highway de partment enforced weight laws with only powers of citizen ar rest. It had no police powers un der the law until 1951. Supporters of the bill have contended that enforcement du ties were the logical function of police, not highway officials and that state police would get along better with the truckers hailed into weighing station. Po lice could then, at the same time, check heavy vehicles for other violations of highway laws, according to proponents. Sustained Program Baldock afgued that the weight limit enforcement pro gram has been effective because it is a sustained program and not on a spot check basis as might be provided by state police. He also pointed out that many weighmasters are from the ranks of the physically handicapped and could not be asorbed into the police system with its higher physical standards. Many would be put out of work by the bill, he said. Gen. Collins Wins Truce in Indochina Saigon, Indochina (U.R) . Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Presi dent Eisenhower's special envoy, won a seven-day truce today be tween Indochina's rebellious warlords and pro-American Pre mier Ngo Dinh Diem. The agreement that again warded off civil war came after hectic hours of night-long bar gaining. Premier Diem and his armed rivals, the powerful "United Na tionalist Front," agreed at dawn to sheath the sword and maintain an armed truce for a week. While Collins put pressure on Diem, his French colleague, Gen, Paul-Henri Ely, high commis sioner and commander in chief of the French Expeditionary Corps, worked with Diem's die hard adversaries, the politico- religious sects.

Fireballs Sighted Oyer New Mexico Lordsburg, N. M. (U.R) Civil Air .patrol planes today searched but failed to find a trace of a mysterious object which apparently crashed and exploded near here in an intense white heat. Meanwhile, the University of New Mexico Meteoritics Insti tute puzzled over a green fire ball which flashed over the southeast part of the state and was seen as far north as Albu querque, 200 miles away! The two were the first major fireballs sighted in New Mexico since last September. CAP Lt. Paul Mallott said those who had seen the white light here described it as "fall ing so fast we couldn't make out its size or its shape," but a vapor trail trailed behind as it fell.
