LONDON. Nov. 15.-President
Eisenhower's reliance on the
United Nations to provide a solu-
ton to the Middle East crisis has
caused new misgivings among
many officials here.
Among those most disappointed
in the Presidents first post
election press conference are dip
lomats who thought the moment
had arrived for a strong United
States lead in restoring order in
the Middle East and meeting the
threat of Soviet penetration Of
that area.
Others. somewhat less hope
fully. believed that a new attempt
might be made to forge some
thing like a co-ordinated West
ern policy now that Britain and
France have abandoned their in
dependent action and the United
States has been jolted into a new
awareness of the seriousness Of
the threat.

Position Called Ambiguous

At the very least. it was ex-
pected that a clearer definition
of American interests and aims
might be forthcoming which
would provide all parties-in-
Guiding Britain, France. Russia
and the u. N.-with a better idea
of how they might or might not
proceed from here.
On all three scores. the Presi-
dents statement has left much
to be desired in the British view.

At a Scotland Yard anticrime

complained that the old type of

"Why can't we have our own

Some American Legion men,
bers wonder il they'll have a
home to go home to or a job to
go back to when the last of the
kid campers in Rockville have
gone home on August 10.
The ex-servicemen have been
spending every free minute since
Saturday expediting, arguing,
planning, cooking for the 70
Montgomery County boys, aged
10 to IA, attending the first sum-
mer boys camp sponsored by
Legion Post Sc of Rockville.
The boys. most Of whom have
never been able to attend sum-
mer camp before, live in five
squad tents beside the Legion
clubhouse at the END of Con-
gressional lane, which runs off
Rockville pike near Congressional
Airport.
A county policeman, Douglas
Rossignol, regularly assigned to
the Silver Spring precinct, is
using his vacation time to super
wise the two-week encampment.
