Conservatives Accent Youth
Britain's Labor Party was challenged Monday in its bid for a
return to power as Prirqe Minister Winston Churchill put the accent
on youth in a major reshuffle of his Conservative government.
The shake-up was the most far-reaching since World War II, and
fc'ill bring in seven new faces besides shuffling 17 other ministerial
posts. Churchill, who will be 80 next month, remained at the head
of the government and indicated he would carry on until the 1955
elections if his health permits.
Anthony Eden continues as foreign secretary and does not get the
position of deputy prime minister at this time. The move should end
Conservative Party complaints that too many "old faces" were
hanging on "in the government.
Powell To Face Perjury
Clyde L. Powell, who stepped out as assistant FHA commissioner
last spring, has had a criminal contempt charge filed against him by
a special grand jury investigating alleged irregularities in the federal
housing program.
The jury said Powell had refused to tell whether he took the
official diaries for the years 1946-54 with him when he left the office.
Powell had previously refused to give this information last week and
had been directed by U.S. District Judge F. Dickinson Letts.
Letts said Powell will be tried on the criminal contempt charge
next Wednesday. In contempt cases, the punishment upon conviction
Is entirely within the discretion of the judge.
Hazel Deaths Mount
The death list left in the wake of Hurricane Hazel mounted as
the possibility of more than 100 deaths in Canada increased after
officials put 64 persons in the missing category. The bodies of 56 vic
tims have been recovered.
One of the worst hurricanes ever to hit the North American
continent, Hazel has taken 168 lives known to date. Nine new storm
deaths in the United States boosted the toll to 91. The total for Haiti
is 21.
In this country, North and South Carolina were the hardest hit.
President Eisenhower Sunday ordered "blank-check" federal aid to
large areas in both these states.
Stringfellow Resigns
Rep. Douglas Stringfellow (R-Utah) has resigned as a candidate for
re-election after confessing his story of war heroism was a hoax
In a surprise radio and television speech Saturday night, String
fellow admitted to a Utah audience that he was never an OSS agent
or hero in World War II. He did not resign from the seat he held In
Congress since January of 1951.

Per Cent Parity
farm problem, Green has said he
is "pledged to the maintenance of
90 per cent of parity price sup
ports. Business and industry have
other compensatory advantages."

the present time," Green said. "I
would like to see the draft discon
tinued, but this cannot be done
until such a time as the national
and international situation al
lows." "The present approach," he
said, "needs to stress a build up
of reserve strength."
