Despite an Israeli walkout, the

Arqentines Resent
Eisenhower Attack
On Somozu Killer

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Oct. 2 (P).-Two major Argen-
tine newspapers have criticized
President Eisenhower for his
statement expressing regret at
the assassination of Nicaraguan
President Anastasio Somoza.
President Eisenhower's state
ment said he and the Nation
regretted Gen. Somoza's death
from a bullet wound inflicted by
an assassin and called the at
tack "dastardly."
The independent morning
newspaper Ell Mundo said yes
Iterday in an editorial: In an
emphatic document which is a
chain of lamentations the
great Eisenhower brands as a
dastardly attack the gesture of
Rigoberto Lopez Perez Cthe as
sassin) and points out the great
of the defunct die
tator toward the United States
/. it would appear that with
(Somoza's) passing one of the
stars which adorn the North
American flag had been ex-
tinguished."
Another morning paper. FL
Laborista, organ of the left wing
Laborista party, also singled out
the word "dastardly" and added:
Apparently the North Ameri-
can president has a very per-
sonal idea OF courage and cow
ardice, because if the tyrant-
killer who acted alone, knowing
Somoza $ bodyguards would rid
die him with bullets. is a coward.
1t is because undoubtedly the
man in the White House believes
that TO be surrounded by hired
killers and protected by a coat
OF mail constitutes the sum OF
valor."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-02

the Assembly tackles those issues
later in the month.
Feeling has been growing in
some quarters here that there
has been a lack of support and
understanding from the United
States on these prime problems
confronting France.
Senator AuguSte Pinton, Sec
rotary of state for public works,
highlighted that line of thought
in a report to a local organiza-
ton Of his Radical Party.
Might an alliance with Russia
have proflted France more than
one with the United States?" Mr..
Pinton asked.
European Pact Suggested
He went on to suggest that the
Atlantic alliance no longer be
considered the cornerstone of
French foreign policy and that
1t be replaced with a European
understanding" He said it was
his opinion that Britain would be
quick to join in such a move.
Much criticism also has been
voiced in Britain of the United
States stand in the Suez Canal
dispute. United States refusal to
go along with military action
against Egypt is widely credited
with multiplying British and
French threats to occupy the
canal zone unless Egyptian Pres
ident NaSser permitted interna-
Itional control of the waterway he
took away from the British
French Suez Canal Co. on July Is.
Anti-U. S. Talk Mounts
Mr.. Pinton's statement, al
though not necessarily repre-
senting the Governments posi-
ton, appeared to reflect Premier
Guy Mollets recent expression of
bitterness and anxiety" over
what he called lack of support
for France from some OF its
allies in the Suez crisis.
Some anti-United States talk
has been even stronger in private.

Bevon Regoins Place
In Loborite Leadership

BLACKPOOL. England, Oct. 2
tP.--Britain's Labor Party today
elected Aneurin Bevan as its
treasurer. emphasizing the oppo-
sition party's sharp swing toward
advocacy of more state owner
ship.
The fiery Welsh orator scored
a substantial victory over George
Brown, a moderate Labor men,

seat in the partys important
National Executive Committee.
Moderate followers of Party
Leader Hugh Gaitskell retained
their strong majority on the %
member executive, but the Bev-

creased its holdings.
Mr.. Bevan'S victory touched
of speculation he might attempt
to unseat Mr.. Gaitskell as leader
OF Labor's parliamentary group
or at least try for the deputy
leaders post held by James Crit
fiths. a fellow Welshman.
Asked about this, Mr.. Bevan

stage. One never rules out any
possibility"

May Widen Interests
He recently has been the party
spokesman on colonial affairs in
the House of Commons. but po-I
litical sources Speculated he
might now take over the more
important fields of defense, for
eign affairs or economic matters.
That would put him in line for
the cabinet posts Of minister of
defense, foreign secretary or
chancellor OF the exchequer if
Labor unseats Prime Minister
Eden's Conservatives.
Mr.. Bevan. who often is criti-
cal of United States foreign poll
icy, is a determined advocate
of more militant socialism and
wider state ownership of indus
try. His election underlined a
growing trend within the party
to erase the old lines of demar-
cation between the left and mod
crate wings Of the party. The
moderates in recent years have
advocated that Britain stand pat
and nationalize no more indus
tries for awhile.

European unity in economic.

But British participation was
particularly important, he said,
to avert any feeling by other
European countries that they
were threatened by a close alIi-

many.
In Bonn, the West German
government officially said it
would urge all West European
nations to coordinate foreign
policies in the new step toward
