Laniel Surprised By
French Press Handling
Of Bermuda Conference
PARIS, UP) — Premier Joseph
Laniel returned Friday from the
Bermula conference and ridi
culed talk of any French-British
friction at the conference.
Laniel said he had been sur
prised at Bermula “to learn how
part of the French press exces
sively dramatized certain aspects
of the conference.”
“To say that Franco - British
friendship is passing through a
crisis now is an absurdity and it
is easy to see who that would
benefit.”
Laniel said “Our union with our
two allies on the big objectives of
our world policy is complete.”

Churchill and Laniel
Scotch Rumors of Franco
British Discord
LONDON, Uf) — Prime Minister
Churchill and French Premier
Laniel flew into London Friday
from the Bermuda Big Three con
ference.
Laryel and Churchill shook
hands warmly for the welcoming
crowd at the airport. This ap
peared to be an effort to scotch
reports they had disagreements at
Bermuda.
Churchill appeared first at the
door of the big stratocruiser. He
was bare headed and carrying his
usual cigar. He waved at the
crowd, then went back into the
plane. Laniel, who suffered a lung
infection in Bermuda, continued
the flight to Paris.
Churchill, 79, looked especially
fit for his years. He .told news
men: “We have had a wonderful
flight, much better than on pre
vious occasions.”
Back home, Churchill faces a
threatened revolt in his own Con
servative Party over government
policy in Egypt. Thirty Conser
vatives have signed a motion op
posing negotiations with Egypt
over withdrawal of troops from
the Suez Canal Zone.
Within an hour after Churchill’s
arrival, the British Foreign Office
was denying reports that the Am
ericans waged a “pressure cam
paign” at Bermuda to have Britain
change her policy in Egypt and
the Middle East.
| Canadian Eskimos
Face Famine
YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T., UPl —
Marauding wolves and failure of
the fall caribou hunt reportedly
threaten famine for Eskimos in
the area around Canada’s Arctic
Coast settlement of Coppermine.
The tale of disaster was told by
a young Eskimo who treked into
Coppermine, on the shores of
Coronation Bay, north of fhe Arc
tic Circle. He said his people were
heading toward the settlement,
seeking food to see them through
the winter.
The Eskimo said the natives
had missed the annual fall migra
tion of the caribou herds and had
been unable to build up a meat
supply for winter.
Wolves have destroyed most of
the other meat cached away
from previous hunts, he added.
