Conference
Requested
By Churchill
Cautious Againsi
QuickSolution
LONDON-(IP)-Prime Ministe
Churchill yesterday called for<
conference of the leading wor
powers to ease world tension an
cautioned against aiming for<
settlement of everything in a "sin
gle stroke."
Y Kicking off a two-day foreig:
affairs debate in the House o
Commons, the 78-year-old Prim
Minister flatly declared:
* * *
"IT WOULD be a mistake to as
sume that nothing can be settle
with the Soviet government un
less or until everything is settled.
Cheers greeted Churchill's
carefully weighed statement-
delivered slowly and solemnly.
While he did not mention the
United States directly, his words
were generally taken as nudg-
ing Washington into taking ad-
vantage of what he described as
an apparent change in Soviet at-
titude since Stalin's death.
A Big Three conference-pat
terned after the Roosevelt-Stalin
Churchill meetings during Worli
War II-was hinted by the Prim
Minister but he did not elaborate
Churchill suggested the confer
ence be "composed of the smalles
number of powers and persons pos
sible, and they should meet witht
measure of informality and a stil
greater measure of privacy an<
seclusion."
* * *
HE ADDED such a paley shouh
take place without any great de
lay and should not be hampere
by a long, previously-arrange
agenda.
The Prime Minister, who has
personally taken over handling
British foreign policy in the ab-
sence of ailing Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, appealed for a
cautious Western approach "to
the change of attitude and, we
all hope, of mind, which has
taken place in the Soviet do-
mains and particularly in the
Kremlin since the death of Sta-
[in."
Churchill went to to say: "Abov
all, it would be a pity if the natura
desire to reach a general settle-
ment of international policy wer
to impede any spontaneous anc
healthy evolution which may b
taking place inside Russia."
Both sides of the house sat si-
lent and tense as Churchill out-
lined a policy seeking "piecemeal
solutions" rather than an all-
out settlement and explained:
"Settlement of two or three o
our difficulties would be an im-
portant gain to every peace loving
country. For instance, peace ir
Korea and conclusion of an Aus-
trian treaty, might lead 'to an
easement of our relations for the
next few years."
Card Section
Seats To Cost
Quarter Soon
The Wolverine Club has decided
to levy a 25 cent fee on all mem-
bers of the 1200-seat flashcard sec-
tion, Wolverine Club officials said
yesterday.
The group is presently seeking
a new source of financial support,
having been refused funds by the
Athletic Board, according to Stan
Bohrer, '55.
BOHRER SAID the tariff would
be necessary to defray operating
expenses in the "Block M" section
to be marked off between the 20
and 35 yard lines for this fall's
football season.
Walter B. Rea, Dean of Men,
and member of the Athletic
Board has approved the fee, part
of which will go for membership
buttons and multi-colored flash-
cards.
Persons interested in partici-
pating in therflashcard display
may sign up from 12:30 to 3:30
p.m. next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Seniors and member. of last
year's "Block M" section are re-

Texas Cities
Hit by Twin
Tornadoes
Tragedy Strikes
Lake Ship Also
By the Associated Press
Twin tornadoes ravaged two
Texas cities yesterday.
At least 17 persons died in the
wreckage of buildings and splint-
ered homes-10 at Waco, a city of
about 90,000 in Central Texas
and seven at San Angelo, 200 miles
west.
* * *
THE NUMBER of injured in
both cities ran well into the hund-
reds.
One tornado struck Waco with
a violence which demolished a
six-story building. Eight persons
in that building were killed. Fall-
ing debris crushed four motorists
to death in their cars. Flying
debris killed two youths.
The other tornado sickled a
rubble-strewn path a half mile
wide and a mile long through a
residential area of San Angelo, a
wool center of 50,000.
It splintered houses, wrecked a
school, injured a number of child-
ren in it, and twisted automobiles
into rubble.
*
SOME 1,200 miles northeast and
hours earlier, gales whipped Lake
Superior into a fury and sank an
ore-laden freighter.
The Coast Guard said yester-
day that 14 known survivors and
nine bodies had been picked up
off Isle Royale where a loaded
iron ore freighter swamped in a
violent Lake Superior storm with
31 aboard.
It was possible, the Coast Guard
said, the body of a tenth victim
