Guatemala now desires some
United States technical assist
ance, which he hopes to arrange
with the Foreign Operations Ad-
miniStration while here.
Mr.. Peurifoy said Guatemala's
economy is basically sound. but
the new government is having
tough going now" because mil
lions of dollars of the taxpayers
money was stolen by the previous
regime.
The new government" he said,
sis going to do everything it can
to get these people who really
were gangSters" and try to re-
cover some of the stolen funds.

Eden Wants Action
To Bar Recurrence
OF AirIiner Attack
BY N. A..oeie,sd Press

LONDON, July 26.-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden said
today Britain wants immediate
measures to prevent q recur-
renee of Red China's attack on
an unarmed British passenger
plane over the China Seas.
Mr.. Eden spoke in the House
of Commons almost simultane-
uesly with a United States State
Department announcement that
United States carrier planes had
shot down two Chinese Com
munist fighters which attacked
them while they were searching
for survivors of the British air
liner.
Mr.. Eden said Britain was
gratified at the cooperation and
assistance IN rescue and search
operations given by aircraft Of
the United States services.
Of the original incident. he
said the governments sympathy
is with all those who suffered
''tragic loss as a result of this
wanton attack
Disciplinary Action Urged.
He told the Commons: TN the
Judgment of her majesty's gov
eminent and in view of the clear
markings on the aircraft at
tackled, we consider that disci-
plinary action should be taken
by the Chinese government
against those concerned"
Britain welcomes Red China
prompt offer to make amends
for this savage and inexcusable
attack upon an unarmed pas
senger aircraft" he said.
Mr.. Eden returned last week
from the Geneva conference
which produced an Indo-C China
peace settlement. He had con-
ferred there almost daily with
Red China's Premier. Chou
En-lai.
Attlee Protests.
His statement today came
after, Clement Attlee. leader of
the Labor Party opposition and
q former Prime Minister, said /:
This is not the first time on
which attacks have been made
on civil aircraft by members of
foreign air forces who ought to
be better informed.
ut does seem to be absolutely
inexcusable in this case. Should
not the strongest representations
be made internationally for the
avoidance of these accidents?"
Mr. Attlee is due to lead an
eight-member official Labor
Party mission to Red China next
month on goodwill visit.
British sentiment for giving
Communist China the Chinese
seat in the United Nations
showed signs of souring. British
newspapers holly protested the
attack on the air liner.
Labor Follower Attacks.
One of the angriest editorials
was published in the Daily
Mirror. The mass circulation
tabloid generally follows the
Labor Party foreign policy line
which calls for a soft approach
to Peiping.

ous, :" the Mirror said the Brit
ish government and the British
people long have been anxious
to bring her CRed China in tt

What is the good of Chor

ing like a civilized man al

Ing Western statesmen on peace
