Turkey Accused Of Planning to Attack Syria

CAIRO, Egypt, R-Anwar Sad at, former minister of state, ac- cused Turkey today of planning to attack Syria. He warned that if Turkey carried out such a plan she might find herself at war with Russia.
 Sadat sounded his charge in an article in Al Gumhurriya, gov ernment-backed newspaper.
 The Turkish radio this week at tackled Syria for accepting Soviet arms, accused her of posting her troops in a menacing manner along the border of Lebanon, and charged Syria and Egyptian agents were trying to stir up interal trouble in both Lebanon and Iraq.
 Sadat said Turkey hoped by an attack on Syria to draw that coun- try into the Baghdad Pact, the anti-Communist alliance in which Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Britain are members.
 Sadat said this would be the same as bringing Syria under Western domination.

ANTI-U.S. FEELING IN BRITAIN IS GROWING OVER POLICY IN SUEZ
By HAL COOPER

LONDON, R-Anti American feeling scared to new heights to- day in Britain. Cartoonists there lampooned President Eisenhower mercilessly. A denunciation of US. policy by more than 100 Con- servatives was before Parliament.
 Other voices, however, called for renewed efforts to heal the breach with the US. caused by the British-French dilemma in Egypt.
 In Parliament, the opposing views were spelled out in motions of the minority Labor and Liberal Parties urging reconciliation with Washington and by an influential section of the ruling Conservative Party attacking the JUN. Assem- bly, and blaming US. Middle East policy for "gravely endangering the Atlantic alliance"
 Seldom ln History
 The Conservative motion was signed by nearly one-third of the Eden governments packers in Commons. Seldom in history has so large a segment of the British government party undertaken an attack in this fashion on an allied nation. It said;
 "The House congratulates the foreign secretary (Selwyn Lloy6 on his efforts to secure interna- tional control of the Suez Canal, and deplores both the resolution of the (U.N) General Assembly calling for immediate and uncon- ditional withdrawal of British and French troops from Egypt and the attitude of the LISA, which is gravely endangering the Atlantic alliance"
 Trouble With Withdrawal
 Four separate JUN. resolutions have called on Britain, France and Israel to pull their troops out of Egypt. The United States sup ported them. The endorsement of the resolution by nearly a third of the Conservative membership of the House promised grave trou- ble for the government if it began a complete withdrawal.
 In France, too, public opinion mounted against the United States as result of the Suez crisis. An nouncement of gasoline rationing that will let most French motor ists have only four gallons each month brought more bitterness.
 Oil Pinch Felt
 The United States was blamed for not moving faster to supply Europe with petroleum to replace the cutoff Middle East supplies. Britain and several other coun-

While he brought lamina-

his final appearance by conduct

Speaking seriously, Kaye told
his audience that he had been
overwhelmed by his emotional re-
action to Israel and promised that
he would return again soon to see
more of Israel and would bring
his daughter Diana. He added that
he was sure she would be greeted
with great affection. His tour,
which included entertaining an

pecially welcomed by children all
