Churchill Will Demand Full
Participation In Any Meeting
Between Stalin and Eisenhower
WASHINGTON, (/P) —Britain’s
Prime Minister Churchill un
doubtedly will demand recognition
as a full participant in any Eisen
hower - Stalin meeting aimed at
easing world tension.
American officials who fore
cast this made it plain, however,
that they see little chance of any
such top-level East-West confer
ence—unless Russia shows in ad
vance a genuine desire to end the
cold war.

Calendars Go Homey
AP Newsfealure
A calendar isn’t just a calendar
any more. The 1953 crop, now
being distributed by the millions,
will double as cookbooks, parent’s
guides and files of household
hints.
U.S. businessmen have spent
more than $100 million in 1953
calendars to be displayed in Am
erican homes and offices—an in
crease of 10 per cent over last
year.
The double - duty “homey”
trend in calendars is pointed out
by Charles H. Parton, executive
vice president of the Osborne Co.,
one of the country’s biggest pub
lishers of calendars. He says:
“Demand for art calendars
which also include the equivalent
of a bookful of useful homemak
ing information is booming. This
trend has led our company to ex
pand its home economics research
and editorial facilities on a scale
comparable to those of educa
tional book publishers.”
The commercial art calendar
has grown to a big-time industry,
according to Parton, who adds:
“Each year large and small
businesses provide the American
family with an average of three
calendars, one hung in the kitch
en, one in the bedroom and one
in the living room or hobby
room.” .
Best-selling calendar art sub
jects, says Parton, show scenery,
religious themes and episodes of
American history ranking about
equally with human interest sub
jects such as babies, animals and
pretty girls.

Churchill To Talk
With Truman
And Eisenhower
LONDON, >(/P)—Prime Minister
Churchill will sail for New York
New Year’s Eve to talk over glo
bal problems informally with
President - elect Eisenhower, pay
his respects to President Truman
in Washington and fly to Jamaica
for a two-week tropical holiday.
American officials were certain
Churchill will demand recogni
tion as a full participant in any
Eisenhower - Stalin talks. But
there seemed little change of any
such top-level East-West confer
ence unless Russia gives advance
guarantees of her desire to end
the cold war.
British embassy officials in
Washington said the Prime Min
ister’s main aim will be to try
to restore the close British-Am
erican partnership that existed
between the late President Roose
velt during World War II. Chur
chill also can be expected to dis
cuss resumption of an exchange
of atomic secrets and Eisenhow
er’s recent trip to Korea.
If Stalin-Eisenhower talks do
come about, Austria’s Chancellor
Dr. Leopold Figl was reported
anxious to have the big power
chiefs meet in Vienna. An Aus
trian government source, disclos
ing this Saturday, said Figl feels
Vienna would toe the toest city for
the East-West talks. Surrounded
by .the Russian zone, it is the
only capital in the world where
East and West occupation forces
get along in relative friendship.
. Churchill’s meeting with Presi
dent Truman is being described
here as an official farewell to
the man about to leave one of the
world’s most powerful offices.
In New York, Eisenhower said
“I have heard that my old friend
was coming and I am delighted
to meet him.”

Incurably 111 Mother
Gives Birth to 8 lb. Son
LOS ANGELES, (JP) r- Tiny
Michael Emmanuel Garrett is
resting in the maternity ward of
the Angelus Hospital. Some day
he may know of the courage dis
played by his incurably ill mother
in giving him his right to life. f
The infant was born Friday by
Caesarean section, a month pre
maturely. The mother, Mrs. Jean
Garrett, 27, suffering from Hodg
kins Disease, a lymphatic ail

the child would shorten her life,
if she survived at all.
She did survive. And the hos
pital 'reports both mother and
child in good condition. Michael
weighed in at 8 pounds 7 ounces.
Thomas Garrett, an aircraft
worker, his wife and their three
older sons, Thomas Jr., 7, Robert
13, and Raleigh, 18 months, cele
brated Christmas gaily.
Then on Christmas night, after
the tree lights were turned off,
Mrs. Garrett went to the hospital,
not knowing whether she ever
would see her home again.
