Eden Assai|ed
In Commons
Attacks by Lobor
Touch Off TumuIt

LONDON, Nov. / R.-The
House Of Commons was thrown
into turmoil today by debate over
Britain's onslaught against
Egypt.
Members of the Labor Party
demanded an answer to this
question:
rs the Eden government en-
titled to take military action
against Egypt without a declara-
ton of WARP"
Hugh Gaitskell, Labor leader,
declared millions Of Britons
ARE profoundly shocked and
ashamed" that British planes are
bombing Egypt. He said this
bombing was carried out, mot in
self-defense. not in collective de-
Tense. but in clear defiance of
the U. N. Charter"
Eden Rebuffs Query
Mr.. Gaitskell and Aneurin
Bevan called upon Prime Min
lister Eden to say if Britain has
declared war on Egypt, or not,
or if it intends to do so. They
argued that only under such a
declaration was the government
entitled to send British soldiers,
sailors and airmen into action.
Sir Anthony refused to answer
directly.
Labor members set up a ter
rifle din, shouting, "Resignl"
Pressing his point, Mr.. Gait
skell said that IF he EDEN
has any control OF the situation
left at all he should make a
statement.
Sir Anthony said the gov
eminent has made no declara-
ton other than calling upon
Egypt and Israel to quit fight
ing, to keep clear of the Suez
Canal and to enable British
and French forces to take over
control Of the waterway.
CIamOr Touched on
Sir Anthony's reply touched
on pandemonium. Opposition
Laborites kept up a thunder OF
shouts and name-calling.
But the Prime Minister re-
fused to give way. The whole
issue had brought down on his
head the worst storm of his
three decades in politics. At
one point the session was sus-

Accord Announced
At3:20 A.M., Subject
To Union Approval
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Agreement on a new labor
contract today averted a threat

bus strike.
The accord is subject to three
conditions: Negotiation of sew
eral minor items, drafting of
precise contract language and
approval by a special member

to be called next week.
The agreement between o.

Mediation and Cancellation
Service.
Caps 13-HOur Talk
He said. after a 13-hour ses-
sion at the Labor Department,
that substantial agreement on
the major terms Of a new con-
tract" had been reached.
He said terms of the agree
ment would not be made public
until approval Of the contract by
the membership meeting.
The agreement settled more
than three weeks Of bargaining
between Mr.. Chalk, who bought
out the old Capital Transit, Co.
last August Is. and the union.
Mr.. Chalk had been operating
on a 75-day extension of the old
CTC labor agreement, which ex-
pired last night.
AS the midnight deadline ran
out with negotiations still under
way, the three-man panel of
Federal mediators persuaded the
union to postpone strike plans
IS permit further bargaining.
The end came three hours later.
Suspend Strike Plans
Mr.. Donnahoo said he had i'm
mediately notified District Com
missioner Robert E. Mclaughlin,
who said, he would order police

u. S., Soviet Seek Policy
To Ease Rule on Satellites
BY EARL H. VOSs

The United States and the
Soviet Union have been in secret
contact through Yugoslav medi-
tors in search of mutually suit
able formula for loosening Mos
cows grip on Eastern Europe
without turning the satellites
over to anti-Soviet domination
Shortly before the Polish and
Hungarian uprisings burst upon
the world, Secretary of State
Dulles sent a special mes
sage to the KremIin through
Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koca
Popovic, who slipped in and out
of Washington virtually I'M
noticed.
Mr.. Dulles urged the Kremlin
to move fast to satisfy the
mounting demands for autonomy
in the East European states with
moderate concessions before in
dignation mounted so high that
nationalist forces would get
completely out of hand.
Opposes Hostile Neighbors
The United States does not
want, and assumes the Soviet
Union does not want the frontiers
of anti-Soviet Europe pushed to-
the USSR's own borders, the
American Secretary of State is
to have told the Krem-
lin leaders.
American policy makers real
ize. Mr.. Popovic was told in
Washington, that Moscow could
not accept hostile neighbors and
likely would be provoked to war
If the tide were allowed to turn
that strongly against it in
Eastern Europe.
Neither Moscow nor Washing
ton could know where a new war
in Eastern Europe would lead.
Dangers that it would develop
into the dreaded nuclear holo-
caust are rated too strong by
both sides to risk even a small
war in the area.
Fear Border Difficulties
The United States, it is I'M
derstood, would be happy to ac-
cept "a buffer zone of Finlands"
from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Americas main concern, it now
appears, is that satellite unrest
will get so far out of hand that
the Soviet Union will not be able

Myron Milbouer, district mana

Importance for people who have
worked at least five years under
social security and who, because
of disability, have not been able
to work for six months or more,
according to an announcement
made this week.
"The Social Security Act now
permits us to keep the benefit
rights intact of a person who is
disabled before age 65 and who
is unable to work because of his
disability" Milbouer explained.
ITO qualify for this so-called dis
ability freeze, person must have
worked under social security for
at least five years out of the ten
years before he became disabled
and one and a half out of the
three years before he became dis
abled. The disability must have
existed for more than six months
and a person must be disabled at
the time he files his application
for the disability freeze"
Anyone now receiving a social
security payment on his own
earnings record may have his ben
eft refigured to exclude period
of disability, if he is now disabled
and the disability was in existence
for more than six months before
he reached age 65," Mr.. Milbouer

Capt. Howard F. Mowry of the

evidence that the boys repre-
scented different gangs, nor were
there any weapons. Taken to
the prencinct station, all denied
they had gone to the gathering

fight, and had gone to watch.
Capt. Mowry said none of the
boys was unruly. and police did
not book them for disorderly
conduct-the new weapon police
expect to use in dealing with
mischievous juveniles.
However, the parents of all
were called to the precinct, and
information was prepared on
each to be retained in a new file
system. Capt. Mowry said he
also would recommend that the
boys be given hearings by the
Youth Aid Division.
