POLICY SPEECH

Chicago, Nov. 29.

The US. Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, said the United States should "exhaust peaceful means of sustaining our international war action rights rather than now resorting to such as a naval and air blockade of Red China."

Mr Dulles made this statement in the course of u The statement major foreign policy address tonight. was regarded as a reply to demands made by Senator William Knowland, among others, for a naval blockade of Communist China to obtain the release of airmen and civilians recently sentenced to prison by the Peking Government as spies.

Mr Dulles also made these points in his speech:

America should soon be in a position to inflict far heavier blows on the Soviet Union than Russia could deliver on the United States in the event of an attack;

New Strike At London Docks

London, Nov. 20.

More than 8,000 British repair workers returned to work in London after a 10-week strike but by tonight several hundred of them were striking again. The new strikers, chiefly fitters and electricians, walked out in London's "Royal" group of docks and at Tilbury, 20 miles down river.

They took this action when employers told them there was not enough work for all of them today.

Strike leaders rallied them with a slogan "one in, all in," and they began a drift from work which continued during the day.

The overwhelming maj« ority of the ship repairers, however, returned to work without fpeldent-Reuter.

Churchill's Life Story Told On Two Big Birthday Cakes To Be Cut Today At London Ceremonies

London, Nov. 30.

Two gigantic cakes telling the story of Sir Winston Churchill's 80 years are ready for delivery in time for the Prime Minister's birthday celebrations today.

"In war, resolution; in defence, deflance; in peace, goodwill; in victory, magnanimity."

One, which will be cut today In a circle is the inscription: when politicians of all parties in Parliament meet to honour him in historic Westminster Hall, bears the wards in letters of gold: "A thousand years. hence outr say this was people will finest man."

This is an adaptation of Sir Winston Churchill's famed "Anest hour" speech during the war time.
