WASHINGTON (UP) — The American Red Cross today announced a new policy which gives its local chapters the right to join in Community Chest or other federated drives under certain conditions (In Ogden the Red Cross already belongs to the Federated Drive having participated in it last year) The new policy says local chapters must participate in annual fund campaigns of some type but they may determine for themselves whether a joint appeal with other groups or an individual Red Cross drive will best serve the interests of their communities “as well as those of the Red Cross” ch g Dressy Eden Experienced For New Job By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sir Anthony Eden in line for the prime ministry of Great Britain in succession to Sir Winston Churchill will bring to that difficult job’ the experience of serving as foreign secretary through three critical periods of history He is 57 Throughout his career Eden has pursued a policy of close association with the United States — and of peace through strength Smartly Tailored He steps into the position smartly tailored for the job The tailoring applies to hispolitically streamlined mind as well as to his personal appearance Seldom has a man jtaken over the highest political office of a major nation with such painstaking preparation Eden has been a member of the House of Commons For about a quarter of a century he has been the boy of the Conservative Party Most everyone including Eden felt that some day he must become Prime Minister Historic Personalities But for years historic personalities stood between Eden and the top First there was Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin who managed the abdication of King Edward VIII and took an affectionate interest in Eden’s future Then there was Neville Chamberlin advocate of appeasement with whom Eden disagreed Finally there was Winston Churchill Eden labored for him with selfless loyalty Churchill rewarded him several years ago by naming Eden his “heir apparfair-haire- ent” d Churchill had no formal legal authority of course to do anything of the kind But so great was the respect for the old man’s political judgments that virtually everyone in the Conservative Party deferred to his wishes Churchill who battled and de-- 1 feated every enemy save the re- lentless passage of time (he is 80) presented his resignation to II at BuckingQueen Elizabeth ham Palace fe The venerable statesman drove alone from his official residence at No 10 Downing Street to the the sunshine of a palace in day bright spring Cheering thousands applauded him in ihe streets Tears In Eyes Then he went home to Downing Street and stood for a time old and mute his fingers raised in the “V for victory” sign and tears standing bright in his eyes while from Buckingham Palace the announcement came officially that he had quit The palace announcement said: “The Right Honorable Sir Winston Churchill had an audience of the Queen this evening and tendered his resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury which Her Majesty was graciously prepared to accept” Eden is expected to be summoned to the palace tomorrow to receive the seals of office as Churchill’s successor as first minister of the crown Unnerved by Ordeal The emotional ordeal of handing his resignation to the youthful sovereign he considers his “young gleaming champion” unnerved Churchill He cancelled a scheduled appearance in the House of Commons He held a private farewell meeting with his ministers Then alone and in silence he retired to become a back bench elder statesman in the House of Commons Sentries snapped to a salute as his car drove through the iron gates of Buckingham Palace Churchill stepped out and en- tered He was met by a palace page dressed in blue battledress with scarlet royal cypher on the pocket The page was assigned to conduct Churchill in an electric elevator to the Queen’s apartments Old Friends Meet There an equerry announced his presence to the Queen wbo had hurried back to the palace from inspecting a refinery so she could be waiting when her first minister came to resign “The Prime Minister Your Majesty” the equerry announced Churchill entered the young woman’s study with open fireplace and walls covered by dark green silk damask brocade The words they exchanged were their owm They were not only sovereign and Prime Minister but trusted old friends whose affection was mutual The procedure of resignation was as simple as it was for the British Commonwealth of nations: A request to the Queen to let him and his ministers quit and a recommendation that she summon Eden to succeed him Churchill goes next week to Sicily for a vacation in the sunshine free at last of the burdens of a lifetime‘s which has earned him regard as statesman soldier author and orator Last night he played host to his sovereign at a farewell formal dinner party and received the rare tribute of a personal toaSt from the Queen high-ceiling- ed far-reachin- g killed instantly

Churchill gave up today beaten in the end by the weight of years The advance of time did to Churchill what dictators’ armies and warplanes failed to do It made him surrender Churchill yielded the post of power that he loved and clung to for years He bowed to the pleas of his doctor Lord Moran He gave in to the urging of his wife Xlementine who feels he must conserve his waning strength He surrendered to the tactful — but urgent — suggestions of some Conservative Party leaders who want a younger more vigorous man at the helm in Britain’s coming election campaign Time Running Out But he yielded mainly friends say to a growing awareness on his own part that for him time and strength may be running out He is in his 8lst year He is an old man who has doddered as old men will on one day and risen to great heights of oratory and intellect on the next Sometimes lately he has nodded his head in sudden sleep midway in meetings of the British Cabinet Sometimes he has momentarily forgotten the names of world famous men — men of power with whom he has wined and dined and matched wits across the table in wary intimacy ‘Nearing End of Journey “I am now nearing the end of my journey” he said in tones tinged with regret in his 80th birthday speech last November But in his waning years he has also stirred the nation in ringing speeches that have again revealed the sweep of his mind and rallied Britain behind portentous policies “Never flinch never weary never despair” he urged the nation last month The words burned themselves into Briton’s memories crystallizing support for his policy of building British hydrogen bombs to hold Russia at bay And W’hile at times the old man has seemed to be fading he has revived regularly to mow down Laborite opponents one after another with quick shafts of repartee in the House of Commons Churchill at question time lately with his quick and impish wit has been a delight for political enemies as well as friends His personal story in recent years has been the story of an old man who Has his good days and some not so good The battle has seesawed but it has been dogged Press Assn authoritative Brit-tis- h news agency said Churchill will remain in the House of Commons for a time as an ordinary member He has served there 55 years There had been speculation that he might be named to the House of Lords Friends said there was no
