Actress Sarah Churchill
Fined $50 In Malibu
On Drunk Charge
MALIBU, Calif., Of) — Actress
Sarah Churchill, head high and
fighting to hold back the tears,
pleaded guilty to a drunk charge,
but explained:
“I was more ill than drunk.”
The 44-year-old actress, daugh
ter of Britain’s Sir Winston
Churchill was fined $50 yester
day in Malibu Justice Court.
Her gloved hands gripped the
back of a chair as ahe faced
Judge Charles Woodmansee and
answered “I plead guilty to the
charge.” Given permission to
make a statement, she continued:
“I was more ill than drunk. I
was alone in the beach house
where I had gone to learn my
lines for a television show.
“I have been under some strain
these last months. I fully realize
that anyone might have misun
derstood the situation.
“I deeply regret any inconven
ience I may have caused . . . the
pain to myself and those I love is
self-evident.”
Judge Woodmansee said her
attitude was commendable, but
added:
‘‘You are the daughter of the
world’s greatest living statesman,
but we must place the case in its
proper perspective.”
He said he would treat her the
same as anyone else who came
before him on the same charge.
He then fined her $50 or 10 days
in jail.

DISPERSAL OF SAC . . .
• Continued from Page One)
flight refueling of B-52 heavy
bombers and B-47 medium bomb
ers, would be based, usually, at
fields othfer than those on which
the bombers are stationed, and
located as far north as possible.
This presumably means that
the tanker dispersal program will
include bases such as Thule in
northern Greenland and Ladd Air
Force Base in Alaska, both far
from continental United States
on transpolar routes to Russia.
Directly related to the dispers
al plan is the “alert” program
that has been a key factor in the
whole operation of SAC since its
inception a decade ago.
The alert program is predicated
on the “reaction time” needed for
a portion of a force of planes to
get off a base, into the air and
headed for strikes at Russia after
a warning of approaching enemy i
air forces. The idea is to get the '
bombers off the ground before ‘
the enemy strikes.
Until recent months, the ex
pected alert time has been as
much as two or three hours. This
was the time Russian bombers
would require to reach targets in
the United States after they had
tripped the DEW Line at the
northern edge of the continent.
The threat of intercontinental
ballistic missiles has trimmed
that alert time to 15 minutes—
half the time it would take for a I
Soviet ICBM to travel from its
launching point to an American
target. The Air Force does not
have proof that the Russians now
have ICBMs at operational stage.
But the Air Force cannot afford
to overlook any such possibility.

Dulles Says We
Do Want Summit
Talks With Russia
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of State Dulles said yesterday
“we do want a summit meeting”
with Russia and other nations.
But it would be a “fatal dis
aster,” he said, if such a session
diverted free nations from need
ed security measures “without
any comparable change in the
Sino-Soviet bloc.”
And it also would be a “disas
ter,” Dulles added, if Western
world leaders were forced to
break off a summit conference in
an atmosphere of hostility be
cause that could “intensify the
cold war and make more likely
that it would turn into a hot war.”
Because of these considerations,
Dulles said in a speech at a Na
tional Press Club luncheon, any
top level East-West meeting must
be carefully prepared for with
good prospect of achieving re
sults for peace.
“It is now for the Soviet rulers
to make clear whether or not they
want a ‘summit’ conference which
will genuinely promote the cause
of peace and justice in the world
We do.”
