Missourians are good hosts and ‘the McCluer's are no exception. The “piece de resistance” at lunch was home grown Callaway county _ country-cured ham, with springfried chicken as second choice. Tea was included on the menu for the Britisher, After the former prime a buffet supper will be served at the McCluer home, with Churchill's favorite dish— rib roast—the entree, The public did not fare so well. Fulton churches, two civic clubs and four county extension organigations have pooled the larder to help feed the multitudes, it'll be strictly sandwiches ‘and coffee, as fast as the good ‘ladies can dish it out. :

The town was dressed up for the occasion, although » little . faded from the weather. Streaked bunting hung from each of the city’s 162 intersections and there were British and American flags hanging from every store front. Street hawkers peddled dollar pennants, Truman buttons and one drug store featured Churchill and Truman sundaes, with the British ditty topped with English toffee. The local paper, the Sun Gazette produced a 16-page special edition. The Westminster = gymnasium, where Churchill will speak, holds only 2600, and McCluer said: 30,000 requests for tickets had been received, scalpers were sald tO be asking $250 for a ticket. . The problem of traffic control was one which had the town's seven cops on their official ears,
Official Parade
The force was augmented by 500 men from the fourth regiment of the Missouri state guard, 50, state highway patrdlmen and the inevitable secret service. The official parade will course along a two and a half mile route, winding up at the college. Churchill himself ruled out a suggestion that his speech’ be broadcast by television locally, He vetoed the idea on the grounds that the lights were too hot and refused to be a “guinea pig” for an experiment. The former prime minister's talk will become a part of Missouri history. A permanent recording of the speech will be made on a magnetic wire about the size of a human hair.

We are behind in our techniques. We need merry first—andthgh need to train them.” » Although the war department { has not announced ‘its final ‘position on extension of selective service, now due to expire’ May 15, Gen Eisenhower said it was his personal | opinion that selective service would have. to be extended to provide the nen needed He did not care for the proposal of Rep.
