Try Newiii-eans To Win Confidence Of Free World

by Don Dallas

LONDON. (Reuters) - A curious mixture of sounds came out of the Kremlin with the New Year. .

There was the happy laughter of children, radio propaganda calling for an end to the cold war-and even a story of a human gesture by Premier Georgi M. Malenkov.

The Soviet leader broke with tradition by opening the Kremlin gates this year for mass children's parties in the grand Kremlin pal- ace. They are continuing until Jan. lo. Daily, the Communist Santa. Grandfather Frost, distributes presents and candy to the kids.

Maienkov was reported Saturday to have given a. token donation 0-! one clown about 20 cents to a Swedish infantile paralysis fund. thus following in the footsteps of Sir Winston Churchill and the King of Sweden.

Stockholm officials denied re- porls that a Malenkov autograph would be auctioned to aid the polio fund.

There is no record of any sim- ilar gesture ever having been made by Stalin.

New Year merriment continued in Moscow Saturday for the third successive day, Under Stalin only Jan. 1 was a public holiday with pay. Malenkov gave them Jan. 2 as well, "in compliance with a uni- versal request."

Moscow Radio, in a feature pro- gram Saturday, told Soviet listen- ers: "Fill your glasses-and mend this day merrily."

The case of Lavrentl P. Berta, former secret police chief executed Dec. 23 with six associates, was thrust far into the background.

"Peace Offensive"

Fierce North

LONDON, (Reuters) -- Fierce gale: swept 500 miles of Eng- land's North Sea coast Sunday and the coast guard warned that the storm was nearly as bad as

the one which last January brought on floods that killed 307 persons.

Wind-whipped waves, swollen

by high tides, also assaulted dikes

in Holland where last February disastrous floods took a death toll of 1,785.

For the first time in 11 months

the Dutch put their new storm- warning system into action. An- ”A", preliminary iilPl”L was flash- ed to flood control and police officials in Zeeland and south Holland.

So far Sunday night along Eng- land's battered northeast coast police had not yet used the emer- gency warning system set up last fall to forestall another flood dis- aster.

Waves Lash Gout

Gigantic waves lashed the en- tire coast and sent many North Sea ships scurrying for safety in harbors.

LONDON, iAP)- l-las something gone wrong with Scotland Yard?

Britons are asking themselves that question at the news that four at the country's top detectives have in the -last' form-iiguil; resigned from "the Yard"-in theory. headquar- ters of London's police force but in practice nerve centre for crime detection throughout Britain.

The four who have left are Com- mander Hugh Young, boss of the Yard's criminal investigation de- partment; Arthur Thorp head of the Yurd's anti-fraud squad; fing- crprint expert Cvt-urge Dunn; and superintendent Jack Black, second in command of the "big five"- the quintet of sleuohs who are cal- led out to lead the country's big murder hunts

Britons, who vencraua Scotlulld Yard as one of the country's best- run institutions, are uneasy at newspaper suggestions that the re- signations may bp, due to disagree- ment among C. I. D. officers with new regulations brought in by com- missioner Sir John Nott-Bower. tr- cently appointed boss of the Yard. Uneasy Over Charge!

And Nott-Bovwcr. himself uneasy at allegations of unrest among his police. has commented that at leist one resignation was due to ill- health, and has asked newspapers to soft-pedal the story on the grounds it may cause public alarm.

Poor pay-after 22 years service a constables maximum wage is only around no (828) a wr-rk-- and slow promotion are the main reasons leadinx more than 200 pol- icomen to hand in their resign- ations within the last six months.

But the nllcgcd headquarters re- volt is thought due to a new direc- tive from Nott-Bower giving ordin- ary uniform policemen the power to do their own detective work. l-lltfht-rto. uniformed police have had to turn over to plain clothes detectives ilhp investigation of any crime they are called to.

Sweeping Tax llevisionin U. S.

By Chulel F. Barrett

WAS!-IINGTON. (AP) - Treas- ury and congressional staff ex- perts have agreed on major points in a sweeping tax revision pro- posal providing for almost 31,600.- ooo,ooo annually in tax cuts in many fields.

Informed sources said Saturday only minor details need to be work- ed out before the proposal can be laid before the tax-writing House of lupresentativea ways and means committee, probably within 10 days.

hr the first. time since 1076. the entire revenue code has been reviewed at one time. Thousands of pages of tax laws have been re- written with the aim of giving both individuals and business firms a better break. andlng con- flict: and confusion and uncer- tainty. and removing inequities.

The streamlining program does not deal with major tax rates. But it provida tax cuts nevertheless for almost all businesses and in- dividuals in the form of new or

bigger allowances.

Airmeniifound 0n Frozen lake

WIINNIPEG. (CF)-T'wo air force men, stranded on a frozen lake in the Northwest 'Iieri'iim'ies. waited in 50-below weather Sunday night for the RCAF to speed equipment and gasoline for their rescue.

The men. identified by the air force only as F0. Fisher and LAC. Dawn. set down on an unnamed lake Saturday after running out of fuel while on a mercy flight to pick up a sick Eskimo.

The air force presumed the men were unhurt and the plane intact because a search craft reported 890'-Uni! flares fired into the Arctr sky earlier Sunday. The men may have to spend another night in the wlldsgbefore they receive fuel to get their Norseman airborne.

They left the Hudson bay port of Churchill Saturday on a 400- mile flight north in the outpost of Baker lake to evacuate the critic- ally-ill Eskimo.

The pilot reported to the Baker lake station Saturday afternoon that he was running low on fuel and was not certain of his posi- tion. He gave an approximate posi- tion and said he would land on a lake and remain there until located by search craft.

Late Sunday an RCA! Dakota from Narnao. Alta, near Edmon- ton, reported it had located the Norseman.

The air force plans to fly a ski- equipped Otter aircraft to the lake with fuel and engine heaters. But, because of early Arctic darkness. there were difficuliit-s in complet-

ing the rescue Sunday.
