(JP) As General Eisenhower reportedly was asking President Truman to speed up arms shipments to western Europe, there was pictorial evidence that much has already been done to bolster Europe's defense with American arms. Above at Istanbul, Turkey, American-made tanks, manned by Turkish troops, parade past a reviewing stand during celebration of the Turkish republic's 28th anniversary. Since 1948, Turkey has received about $700,000,000 in V. S. military aid to reinforce her position as the keystone of Near East defense against Red aggression.

The chief Allied negotiator declared today that the Allies will refuse any Korean truce settlement calling for a demilitarized zone before agreement is reached on other armistice problems. Vice Adm.

C. Turner Joy issued a statement on this 33rd anniversary of the World war I armistice outlining four main Allied goals in any Korean settlement. He said the United Nations com mand would not accept anything that would "compromise" these principles. 1. A demilitarized zone based on the military solution at the time a full armistice is signed; 2.

Complete security for the United Nations combat troops and rear areas during a cease-fire, includ-ng "adequate room for our outposts ahead of our mam positions to insure early warning of attack; 3. Guarantee against a buildup of enemy forces during a ceasefire, including a ban on building up combat units weakened by the fighting; and 4. "Quick and satisfactory arrangements relating to prisoners of war." Joy said the United Nations forces would use "every weapon at our command, be it It the conference table or on the battlefield, to achieve those four goals." The statement was issued shortly before a new meeting at the Panmunjom conference tent be tween two-man subcommittees of the United Nations command and the Chinese and Korean Reds. The subcommittees earlier had appeared to favor almost the same thing in the way of a buffer zone but remained separated by a chasm of mutual distrust. ne subcommittees went into session at Panmunjom on sched ule.

Joy had conferred with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied commander, before issuing his statement. Ridgway returned to Tokyo Saturday night after a flying visit to Munsan and the front. State Department Has Ousted 15 Iron Curtain Men Washington, Nov.

10. (IP) The state department said today that it has ousted 15 Iron Curtain diplomats from the United States in the past three years and has "vigilant to prevent improper ac tivities" on the part of such diplomats in this country. This declaration was made in a statement replying to criticism by the senate's internal security sub committee in the case of a Czecho- Slovak military and air attache The subcommittee said the offi- cer' CoL oto Biheler, had gath ered military information in the United States for more than two years and had made frequent trips in and out of the even though American intelligence agents had warned of his activities. The committee said the colonel was recalled to Czechoslovakia last February but that a visa he held would still permit him to return to this country until next February. On this point, the state department declared "the last visa issued to him (as military and air attache here) is no longer valid as he no longer holds the position stated in the visa." Frequent Appearances Saturday as Korean ground action sharpened after a lull.

Other doughboys southeast of Kumsong held their ground, beat ing off attacks by elements of another Chinese battalion. The fight for three Allied positions lasted six hours, from midnight to 6 a. m. Allied raiding parties, also operating in early morning darkness, "stormed" Red positions on the western front, an Eighth army communique said. The Chinese, how ever, fiercely resisted with small arms and mortars, causing the Allies to pull back.

Artillery then smashed down on the Red posi tions. On the eastern front, the U. S. marines celebrated the corp's 176th birthday by blasting a North Korean-held height with bombs, napalm and shells. An artillery spotter plane trailed a "happy birthday" banner over the enemy position.

When the show was over all hands feasted on cakes flown in by helicopter. Censorship relaxed the ban on unit identification to permit the marines to be named for their birthday celebration. the midst of all this hell the holy the story published Thursday by the New York Times that the president had offered to stand aside for the general and support him for the Democratic nomination. "There is absolutely no truth in the story," Bender quoted Eisenhower. But Bender said he got no direct answer when he asked Eisenhower: Is you or is you ain't a candidate for the presidency and is you or is you ain't a Republican?" The Atlantic pact commander deftly went on talking about other things and gave the impression, Bender said, that "he is intent on doing a job." "My personal impression is that he is not going to be drawn into the political fight in the U.

(IF) British Prime Minister Churchill is now expected to visit Washington for talks with President Truman early in January about the time congress reconvenes.

Both British and American diplomats believe that if he comes at that time Britain's well-remembered war leader, newly returned to power, will be invited to address a joint session of congress and will accept. The groundwork for the top level U. talks is already being laid. This is being done in conver-cations among American and British officials in London and Paris, including Secretary of State Dean Anthonv Eden, both of whom are attending the UN assembly meeting in the French capital. The line that Churchill will take is becoming apparent from these exchanges as reflected in views of informed diplomats here and in Mr.

Churchill's own public statements. His latest, last night, set off a new wave of wonder in Washington, as to whether he may prove to be a pretty tough customer to deal with. Three Basic Ideas Allowing leeway for thi development of policies as events build up, responsible authorities here expect Churchill to try to pound home three ideas when he comes for his "meeting of minds" with Mr. Truman. Those basic policy lines are: 1.

There must be a closer partnership between the United States and Britain. This should be expressed not so much in the creation of new international machinery, such as revival of the old wartime combined chiefs of staff, as in the constant communication of ideas between policy makers and frequent personal sessions between them. That would mean frequent Churchill-Truman talks and even more frequent Acheson-Eden sessionsAlso under the heading of partnership, Churchill is understood to include the problem of Britain's economic shortages and the apparent certainty that his government will have to seek substantial financial help from the United States. Senator McKellar chairman of the senate appropriations committee, said today he hopes Churchill won't seek additional U. S.

aid. "Our own people have an excessive load of taxation to bear," he told a reporter. Wants Great Voice 2. Britain should have a much greater voice in the development of foreign policy involving both governments than Churchill felt it had under the Labor government Some officials look for the dynamic and resourceful prime minister to try to dominate certain ideas of foreign policy. 3.

Some way must be found to improve relations between the west and Russia. Churchill has repeatedly advocated a top level meeting or "supreme effort" to ease world tensions. President Truman has always cold shoul- suggestions of recent years he should meet with Stalin his advisers do not expect he will change his views at Churchill's urging. In this circumstance there is growing speculation here that when Churchill's ideas are final lv threshed out between him and the president the British leader may go off on his own to a session with Stalin. There he could explore his apparent conviction that ways can ho fmmH in ot ainn with th Russians Churchill's latest sally on Anglo- American relations was executed in rnryiinn enppph nioht noted that England had provided "the principal atomic base for the United States" in the eastern part the island and therefore had Dli placed itself "in the very forefront Soviet antagonism." Hopes No Boost Asked Washington, Nov.

10. (IP) Senator McKellar (D-Tenn.) said today that he hopes Prime Min- lster Churchill won't seek addi- tional U. S. financial aid to bolster Great Britain's economy and its rearmament program. "We have been exceedingly I might say ex- cessively liberal in furnishing reflecting, Mr.

Churchill, so soon after taking office, will not make request for more. I say that be- cause our own people have an excessive load of taxation to bear the largest ever burn by any people." Paris, Nov. 10. (IP) A friend of Sen. Robert A.

Taft quoted Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhowfloday as Saying there is "absolutely no truth" to the story that President Truman had offered to supprrt the general for the Democratic nomination for president in 1952. Rep. George Bender of Cleveland, a congressman at 'large from Ohio, met with Eisenhower today in company with three other representatives, two Democrats and a Republican.

Bender was asked by The Associated Press if he had obtained any definite information from Eisenhower whether he was planning to run for the presidency. The representative replied that he asked Eisenhower directly whether there was any truth in Soldier Interested In Return Bout With Movie Actor The senate preparedness sub committee said today there has been a "serious waste of manpower and money" because of "an entire lack of co-operation between the departments of agriculture and the army." This lack has been shown most pointedly, the subcommittee said, in the army's procurement of dried eggs and in duplicate inspection of poultry. The group, a subcommittee of the senate armed services committee, urged the departments to get together at once on their specifications for dried eggs and other agri cultural products so that the army services can try to make use of government-owned surplus stocks. It also told the agriculture and army departments to submit within 30 days a plan for elimination of duplicate inspection and grading of poultry and other meat products. Would.

Correct Errors "The cavalier attitude on the part of any persons in the military or civilian agencies toward the expenditure of manpower and money must be rectified," the lawmakers said. "Dried eggs and poultry inspec tion are hardly the components of screaming headlines. But they are some of the components of high taxes and the national debt." The subcommittee, with seven members headed by Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas), was set up shortly after the Korean war broke out to keep a watchful eye on the mobilization program. The report released today is its 32nd. The group said the dried egg problem burst into the open early this year with charges that the armed forces were buying the eggs in the open, market at a higher price- than 'the agriculture department was askingTof its own stocks.

Heavy Purchases The subcommittee said it then learned that the army bought 770,000 pounds of dried eggs at $1.30 a pound when the commodity credit corporation (CCC) in the agriculture department had 000,000 pounds on hand for sale at $1.04 a pound. However, tne senators also lound that the agriculture department's specifications for the eggs were lower than those of the army. In view of this, the subcommit tee agreed that the army should not have used the government- owned eggs. main on guard along the canal under a 1936 treaty, despite Egypt's abrogation of the treaty last month.

Another series, well-printed and in good English, said: "Do you remember what it was like being besieged? It is not going to be fun from now on, neither for you nor your children. Not that we intend to harm women and children, we leave that to your gallant fusiliers." Egyptian civilians should arm themselves, other pamphlets said, "because Mr. Churchill is about to declare war on Egypt." The flurry developed as the royal air force began a withdrawal of RAF families to Britain. A spokesman said four four-engined troop carriers will run a shuttle service between the canal zone and England until the evacuation is completed. Two British destroyers, the Agin- court and Coronna, arrived in the canal area to relieve two others, tne Chevron and the Chequers, which are returned to Malta.

Jury Rules for Sheriff Eustis, Nov. 10.

Shepherd was killed and a fellow negro prisoner, Walter Lee Irvin, was wounded by Sheriff McCall while he was transporting them to T.vares for a hearing on a retrial ordered by the U.

10. (JP)The new national commander of the American Legion said tonight the Legion will ask congress in January for an increase of at least 10 per cent in compensation rates for disabled veterans and the widows and orphans of veterans. The commander, Donald R. Wilson, recalled the recent 10 per cent pay raise congress voted most civil service employes of the government and said veterans' compensation should be raised likewise. He said the Legioi recognizes the fact that the national economy is undergoing severe strain and "we are aware of an unalterable obligation not to make any undue demands upon that economy." Still, he said, in the field of veterans' compensation "there are inequalities to be levelled, services to be improved, errors to be corrected." tax-paying businesses." Other resolutions called for: Discontinuance of incentive conservation payments; GI "Bill of Rights" educational benefits for veterans of the Korean war; decentralization of the power of federal bureaus; publication of welfare rolls; commendation of the agriculture department for dropping the potato support program and a recommendation that the department "stay out of the business of supporting prices of potatoes or control of acreage: opposition to the two-price plan for wheat; Open season on antelope on the regular license without a drawing and the number to be killed controlled by the length of season; no open season on game before Nov.

The civil aeronautics administra tion office here said returning pilots identified two of the dead as Martin Railey and his son, Dick, about 22, of Glendive. They were in a Piper Cub. Allen Anderson, Cut Bank pilot, said the planes fell about 300 yards apart.

The Cub, which Anderson said apparently hit the left side of an Aeronca, fell straight to the ground. The Aeronca wobbled on for about 300 yards before crashing close to the runway. The two men in the Aeronca have been tentatively identified as Arthur J. Schuld of Lindsay and James Cummings of Glendive. They were in Schuld's plane.

The bodies and wreckage were left undisturbed for Flathead County Sheriff Dick Walsh and Coroner Sol Catron. They began packing in to the crash scene last night, intending to leave U. S. highway 2 near Nimrod. Forecast, Helena and vicinity Partly cloudy, scattered rain showers today Monday.
