Opposes Talks LONDON (l Prime Minister Winston Churchill Wednesday re jected demands for a high level conference on the Korean truce negotiations.

Dodda aald there should be "an Immediate conference of all United Nations taking part In the war In Korea" to discuss the situation. "No, air," replied Churchill. "There Is a constant exchange ot views between the governments whose forces are taking part In the u.m. action and a lormui conier ence does not seem necessary." Dodds demanded to know "how much longer are we to stand meek, ly by on the sideline, while Ameri can chiefs can decide our fate?" "Is It not fact," Dodds asked, "that mismanagement of Uie truce Inlks could result In this country being drawn Into s third world war? Is It not obvious that this, and other countries, should be rep. resented at these talks? Churchill pointed out that the truce arrangements were made by the Labor government beforo It was ousted from power In the national election last Oosober. Gambler Yins Reversal SALEM Ifl Joe Hennessey, convicted In the Clackamas County gambling cleanup of last year, got his conviction roverscd by the Ore gon Supreme Court Wodnesday on the ground he was forced to testify against himself. The Supreme Court said that Hennessey's testimony to Ihe grand jury, In which he admitted he operated a gambling game, was Improperly used . against him at his trial. This violates the federal Consti tution, which says no person can be compelled In a criminal case to be n witness against himself. HennosHey was fined S260, The Supreme Court, In lis decision' by Justice waller L, Toor.o, ordered the ease thrown out of court.

The Swedish cabinet met in an urgent special session to discuss the shooting down Monday of So viet Jets of an unarmed 8wedish Catallna rescue plane which was searching lor another lost plane. The cabinet had before it Uie translation of a Russian note stat ing that the Swedish plane -was over Soviet territory and had open ed fire lirst. The Russians claim their terri torial waters extend 12 miles into the Baltic. The recognized limit is three miles. SHOOT BACK In Copenhagen. Adm. E. J. C. Quistgaard, chairman of Denmark' joint chiefs of staff, alerted Dan ish airmen to shoot back unhesita tingly if fired on by Soviet planes either inside or outside Danish ter ritory. tie revealed that Danish military units have had standing orders since March to shoot back to kill, wiuiout awaiting lurtner orders, if Soviet ships or planes fire on any uunisn unit. Both Danes and Swedes were out. raged by Uie Soviet contention Uiat the swedes were at fault in the Baltic Incident of last Monday.

WASHINGTON 11 John L- Lewla told the striking CIO Steel workers Wednesday his mine work ers are "in the light with you" and aald his union Is getting up a 10 million dollar fund to help them win their strike. Lewis' statement followed short ly a report by Economlo Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam that the steel Industry has been assured of friendly' and sympathetic " con sideration ot a steel price boost II a strike settlement Is. achieved. Lewis, head ol the 400.000-mem- ber mine workers union, pledged . Uie full support of his union In a message to Philip Murray, leader of the CIO unionists who walked off their Jobs 17 days ago In a dispute over wagea and a union shop. The mine- workers' chieftain said Murray's ateelworkers are engaged in a fight with "rapacious and predatory Interests." But. he said, he is confident the steelworkers will win their objec tives "by the strength and fortitude of your great membership, and by the legitimate support of American labor." TAFT HARTLEY , ; Lewis said any attempt to In voke the Taft-Hartley Act to stop the steel strike would be "a heinous crime against American labor, anti social in its concept, and perilously destructive of confidence in the principles ot our American repub lic." Murray's union could draw on the 10 million dollar fund as need ed to finance their strike, and could repay It whenever they were able. The Taft-Hartley Act, co-authored by Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio, has long been a target of Lewis' wrath. Wednesday he told Murray that "the lervent hope" ot financial and corporate interests Is to invoke the law. , FASCIST To do this, Lewis said "would be equivalent to the creation of a neo-fascist movement in America of which our Alphonso Taft, with his Jack boots and .velvet pants, would be the willing tool and sym bol.'.' Lewis told Murray his union "has today established, financial credit for the United Steelworkers ot America in the National Bank of Washington, D. C, in the amount ot 10 millions of dollars, subject to your draft and order, as your need warrants and circumstances require. ... . , : "Any" draft made by yon agamst " this credit can be repaid by your . union when you have achieved vic tory and convenience permits." Putnam told a news conference that he and John R. Steelman, acting defense mobilizer, discussed a $4.50 a ton increase during the negotiations which broke down 16 days ago. ' . . But Putnam said the figure was mentioned "among other things. and nothing was settled." futnam saia tnac wnai steel price increase should be allowed ii some thing that cannot be settled until management reaches a contract agreement with Uie union and brings to stabilization officials its reasons for a price boost. iney may oe compelling rea sons," Putnam added. 'I don't know whether I would be impressed $3 worth, $4 worth. or ss worth. 'It depends on what showing is made. But we have let the steel people know we'll give them a friendly and sympathetic hearing when they've made a settlement." BERGMAN BEARS TWINS ROME Wl Ingrid Bergman gave delayed birth Wednesday night to twin girls. Her husband. Robert Rosseiiint. was beside uie blonde lilm star.
