been described In earlier hear

Some sections OF the big

Suez Policies

LONDON, May II R.-The
House of Commons gave the
Conservative government a 308-
259 vote Of confidence last night
on its Suez policies.
The vote. winding up a two
day debate into the British
French attack on Egypt, de-
feated a Labor motion to censure
the government for damaging
Britain's prestige and economic
interests" Had it lost-which
nobody expected-the govern
ment would have had to resign.
Laborite Spokesman Aneurin
Bevan assailed last falls Suez
invasion as an "act of criminal,
frivolous lunacy" and declared it
had brought the world to the
brink Of war. Prime Minister
Macmillan in reply conceded
that Britain had suffered a set
back but said it would be fool
ish to exaggerate it, either at
home or. more especially, over
seas"
Mr.. Macmillan and Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd both as
serted Britain and the United
States have drawn closer to-
gether as a result Of the Suez
troubles.
Mr.. Lloyd told Commons that
Britain supports the request
from France for another United
Nations Security Council debate
on the Suez issue.
U. N. Session Monday
A Council meeting has been
set for Monday afternoon to take
up the French proposal that
Egypt be invited" to comply
with the Councils six principles
for operation of the canal. The
six principles, which include
freedom of passage for all ships
and insulation Of the operation
from the politics Of any one ma.
ton. were adopted by the Coun-
Gil last October.

York. an Egyptian source de-
clared Egypt is complying with
the six principles and profesSed

cussed the matter with Senator
Johnston, Democrat of South
Carolina. chairman Of the Civil
Service Committee.
The plan was. said Senator
Williams. for Senator Johnston
to discuss the question with SEN
ate Majority Leader johnson
and for Williams to talk to
Minority Leader Knowland.
So far. there has been no move
made TO have the measures
favorably reported from the
Senate District Committee-re-
ferred to the Civil Service Com
mittee.
In fact. Senator williams told
o reporter he had taken no pref
udiced view of anything in the
bills but that it was his thought
that all Government employee re-
tirement measures should be
handled by the same committee
He insisted that there was nc
desire to bottle up" the meas.
ures but that the Civil Service
Committee should have time to
study them. One reason, he said
was the possible effect enact
ment Of the District measures
might have on Federal and all
classified workers, II there are
major differences.
When the word got around
It brought an immediate reaction
from Senator Mansfield. Demo-
crat Of Montana, assistant ma
jority leader Of the Senate. who
testified for the police-fire meas
ure.
Indicating he was prepared tc
fight for Senate passage Of the
bills, he declared "in no respect
do / consider that any provision
of the police-fire retirement
measure is too liberal"
He made the point. also. thai
this was entirely q District Of
Columbia matter and had beer
considered and approved by the

He stressed that because o.
hazards and extra hours Of worl
involved in the work Of police
and firemen they were in a stu
alton different from that Of the

employe.
