Ballot Test Shapes Illinois GOP Primary In 1954
CHICAGO AP The first political skirmish of 1954 rises in Illinois with a Republican Senate nomination contest and a potential challenge to Senator Paul H. Douglas. Nine GOP candidates include Joseph T. Meek and Edward A. Hayes as top contenders. Meek leads the Illinois Federation of Retail Associations. Hayes is a former American Legion national commander. The primary also tests whether House members will win renomination, with nine of 18 Republican incumbents backing opposition and most Democrats unchallenged. Incumbent chairmen Harold Velde, Lean Allen, Robert Chiperfield, Chauncey Reed, and Sid Simpson face varying degrees of opposition. Velde contends with one-armed Robert Allison amid district clergy concerns over committee actions.

Delay of Tough Talk Sought by Allies in Indochina Crisis
United States Secretary of State Dulles pressed British Foreign Secretary Eden to join a public promise of united action if Red Chinese troops enter Indochina. Churchill's government reportedly backs tough talk but opposes a peace as long as Russians and others resist. Laborites denounced restricting Britain's forces, urging no British troops be used. In Paris, officials warned bold rhetoric could jeopardize Geneva negotiations. Dulles met Eden at the Foreign Office and dined with Churchill at No 10 Downing Street. Londons papers gave mixed reviews of the visit.
