Winston Churchill
On 80th Birthday
LONDON, OB—Sir Winston
Churchill celebrated his 80 th
birthday Tuesday with the fer
vent hope he still has “some ser
vice to render.”
The Prime Minister, always a
man of many sides, wais both
jovial and somber as the nation
paid tribute to him, and millions
of admirers, at home and over
seas, marked the anniversary as
a personal affair.
Looking especially fit for his
age, Churchill heard eulogies from
all factions in the House of Com
mons at a new session of Paria
ment opened by Queen Elizabeth
II with a speech from the throne
declaring—in his words—that
world survival depends on a con
tinued intimate association of
Britain and the United States.
He accepted the eulogies “with
pride and humility.”
And to those looking for a hint
of his future plans, the old war
rior described himself as “a party
politician who has not retired and
may at any time become involved
in controversy.”
With one exception—the Com
munist Daily Worker—Britain’s
national newspapers hailed the
day as a big event in British his
tory.
“Today our toast is you, sir!”
was the eight-column banner atop
the conservative Daily Mail’s
front page.
“His Day!”’ was the bannered
tribute of the tabloid pro-Labor
Party Daily Mirror, which has
been demanding Churchill’s re
tirement from the prime ministry
on the grounds of old age.
The pubs rang with “Happy
Birthday.” A special three-room
office in London’s Charing Cross
Road was swamped with presents
and bags full of letters, many of
them with checks and coins for
Churchill's 80th birthday presen
tation fund.
A staff of 60, mostly volunteers
from London banks, batted at
adding machines i far into the
night in an effort to keep even
with the contributions.
Since 1888 more than 20 mil
lion people have gone to the top
of the Washington Monument.
