Gifts Pour In For Churchill On Birthday British Statesman Celebrates 80th Birthday Tuesday LONDON HNS)—Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, rested and refreshed after a fjuiet weekend in the country, plunged today into a strenuous program marking the celebration of his 80th birthday Tuesday. Gifts continued to pour into London from all corners of the world, including 11 Russian rubles from an unknown source. Anti-Churchill newspapers set aside their differences for the time being to wish Britain's elder statesman a happy birthday. The prime minister spent the weekend in seclusion at Chequers, his country estate. He returned to London-Sunday night to find plans in full swing for a rousing celebration. Organizers of a worldwide birthday fund estimated today that they would be able to present the prime minister with a cheek for some 1284,000 Tuesday as an initial installment. The 11 Russian rubles (about $2.52) came to the fund headquarters from an unknown point. A spokesman said the rubles apparently were mgdled in London or on the continent, since no envelope from behind the Iron Curtain could be found. The Laborite London Daily Mirror suspended an anti-Churchill campaign today and announced It would publish a special birthday souvenir edition Tuesday. The newspaper said editorially that it had called a “truce” since “the whple nation will be saluting Churchill.” Other British newspapers also wished the prime minister many happy returns, although some suggested that he should celebrate his 80th anniversary in retirement. Even labor leader Aneurin Bevan, famed for his vitriolic attacks on Churchill, startled the Oxford university labor club by expressing admiration for the prime minister. Skid Bevan: "I have admired him all my life, he is a most extraordinarycreature ... He is a man of many „ virtues." _ The only thing shadowing Die birthday celebration wtf.v the stillhot controversy stirred up by Churchill's speech in Woodford last week, a speech wchiw now is being regarded as a political indiscretion. The prime minister disclosed that he had warned Britain’s com-mander-in-chief Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery in 1945 to be ready to return German arms to the defeated Nazi army if the advancing Russian forces failed to stop at the Elbe river. . The Labor party jumped on this disclosure immediately and the Sunday observer's political columnist remarked that the Woodford speech gave the laiborites "an is sue that will ipuinte the party...” Several of Churchill's nine grandchildren will be on hand Tuesday when the "prime minister receives birthday tributes from parliament in Westminster Hall.

It also provides the information on what is needed by each family. : From this point on. the commit- * tees go to work and if you don't think lining up approximately 90 families with food, clothing and toys is work, yoti have another guess coming. An important factor to remember is that the members of this club are wives, mothers and working girls who give freely of their time and energy for this worthwhile cause. Besides contributing the time and work, the sorority also gives SIOO ‘to begin the Good Fellows fund. Other clubs and individuals donate each year to the fund. This is the first of several stories that will be written to keep the public informed of the Good Fellow; and their work. The names'of families who are in“need of assistance will be accepted until a week before Christmas. Nj additional names will be taken after Dec. 17 since It would be practically impossible to fill the needs in such a short time. If any one desires to ad da name to The Good Fellows list they are asked to contact the sorority immediately.
