MacmiIIan0We!
Churchill Much
U. S.-ReIuted Figure
Is Winston's Man
BY CROSBY S. MOVES

Harold Macmillan may well
owe a debt of gratitude to Sir
Winston Churchill for his selec-
ton as Britain's new Prime Min
lister.
At any arte. when the Queen
asked Sir Winston for his advice
in choosing a successor to Sir
Anthony Eden. it seems likely
that the elder statesman gave
the nod in Mr.. Macmillan's di-
rection. For most Of his 80
years in and out of British poll
tics. Harold Macmillan has been
"Winston's man."
1t started in 1887 when Mr..
Macmillan resigned as Tory whip
in the House of Commons in pro-
test against withdrawal of sane
lions against Italy. 1t repre-
sented the first open break with
the policies of "appeasement'
advocated by Neville Chamber
lain's government. 1t preceded
by some months Sir Anthony's
own retirement and drew quick
praise from Winston Churchill
for Mr.. Macmillan as "a man of
fearless intelligence"
Since then, Sir Winston has
kept a careful and benign eye
on his protege, naming him tt
"a succession of responsible posts
in Britain's Conservative Party
For his part. Mr.. Macmillan has
reciprocated warmly. On the
younger mans desk today, Sil
Winstons wartime message OF
courage to his cabinet occupies
a conspicuous place.
No Real Change
There are many who will be
less than pleased with the
Queens choice. The obviou,
criticism is that no real change
has taken place. Mr.. Macmillan
staunchly supported the inter.
vention IN Egypt. His career
his habits of thought and hi.

Mr.. Acheson said the Presi-
dents message on the Middle
East lis not a statement Of

would not feel bound to confint
military action to the Middle

Mr.. Acheson quoted Mr.. Dulles
as having testified in part:

apparent that what was happen

that this joint resolution grants

Igression was intended to be the

Mr.. Acheson recommended
that instead of giving the Presi-

the Vandenburg resolution of
a decade ago, which led to the
creation of NATO.

Mr.. Macmillan at 81 is three
