DUNN, N, C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 7, 1952
Talks Opened
By Truman
And Churchill
WASHINGTON —ltPi President
Truman and British Prime Mini
ster Winston Churchill began today
their formal conferences which
may have far-reaching effects on
future world events.
After a weekend of reviewing the
general international situation, the
two leaders get down to brass tacks
on specific issues at their four
“plenary sessions ’ at the White
House today and tomorrow.
Before the day is over many
specific subjects will have been put
in the mill. The procedure is for
both sides to submit memoranda
expressing each side’s views for
subsequent work by specialists:
The 77-year-old Churchill and Mr.’
Truman will be surrounded by
their top diplomatic, military and
economic advisors.
AGENDA FLEXIBLE
The formal agenda still is flex
ible. but alreadv includes just
about every maior issue. Promi
nent among them is Churchill’s
desire for a streamlined Atlantic
Pact Organization, which is ex
pected to get considerable atten
tion.
The British leader already has
been assured of support from Mr,
Truman for a major Anglo-
American campaign to make fu
ture meetings of the 12-pact allies
smaller, less unwieldly and more
effective.
Other sublects on the agenda
include the Far Fast, general poli
cies toward Russia, military com
mand problems, atomic energy, the
British economic situation and
defense of the West, including
German rearmament.
DIFFERENT SET-UP
For Churchill. It was quite 8
change from the wartime days
whejn he came here, lived in the
Wmte House with the late Franklin
DLjßposevelt. and reached major
ifegntm-f durtfe fewrifeto
nofevelt ana'a"Verv limited num
ber of close advisors.
Now Churchill must deal with a
man who is probably preoccupied
with dom»s«e difficulties, the
American political campaign year,
and the lack of a desire to deal in
personal diplomacy.
