u. S. Plotted to KiIIHim

DAMASCUS. Syria, Aug. 81
R.-Syria's new army chief
Of stan says "gangsters made
in America" plotted to kill him
and other Syrian military
leaders.
The alleged mass aSsassina-
ton plan. Maj. Gen. Aft Bizry
told Western newsmen yester-
day. was part of a plot Syria
has charged the United States
directed against the Syrian
government.
They were to send gangstefs
to our houses to kill u.s." Gen.
Bizry declared. They were
gangsters made in America"
The military chief leveied
the charged shortly after Syria
instructed its United Nations
delegation to inform the Sc
curity Council that the United
States had conspired to over
throw President Shukri Ku-
watly's regime.
(The United States State
Department has labeled the
Syrian plot charge 4 COM
plete fabrication.)
kuwatly in Hospital
President Kuwatly. who flew
to Egypt after the Syrian army
Shakeup last week, is in an
Alexandria hospital for the
announced purpose Of getting
a medical checkup. A Foreign
Ministry source said he is
expected to return within a
week.
Gen. Bizry charged that
Howard E. Stone, the United
States Embassy'S Second Sec
rotary for Political Affairs. was
the mastermind behind the al
legged plot.
The prime purpose was TO
kill staff officers who opposed
American policy" Gen. Bizry
said. They wanted the head of
every honest man. We have the
evidence.
Democracy, according to
Stone, was to put an end to
the honest people of this coun-
try ;. he wanted to make my
two children orphans.
Asked If He's a Red
Asked whether he was a
Communist. Gen. Bizry replied:
Generally people of a ma
ton are forbidden to interfere
in the internal affairs of an
other nation. This has been de-
fined in the United Nations
charter the situation. as l
see it. has reached even to per-
sonal affairs.
rs it forbidden for any per-
son to carry thoughts? Is this
democracy? l do not sacrifice
the interests of my country for

British Syrian
Action Scored

LONDON. Aug. 81 R.-
Sharp criticism appeared in
the British press today Of Brit
aims official complacency
toward the leftist drift in Syria.
But Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd. taking of for a holiday
in Spain, remained silent on
the issue.
Prime Minister Macmillan is
taking personal charge of the
Foreign ONCE while Mr.. Lloyd
is away.
The top editorial writer Of
the pro-government Daily
Sketch commented on the Syria
issue:
The gentlemen in the For
eign ONCE watch the red star
rise over the Middle East with
an Indifferent eye
They say they are not par
ticularly worried at events in
Syria. where a Communist
clique threatens to take over.
II wish I could share their
complacency. For this new
Soviet bid for a foothold in the
Middle East strikes me as being
sheer dynamite"
The United States State De-
partment came in for criticism
in some British newspapers, too.
The independent Times said
in a Washington dated dispatch
that Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles returned from a
vacation TO find events moving
to new crisis-and once again,
1t seems, American policy is
at a loss to meet the accelera-
ton OF events in Syria. Refiec-
ton and consultation are likely
to be the immediate prescrip-

who loves his country, then /
am a Communist"
Gen. Bizry said Syrian law
prevents any army man from
being a member of political
parties.
THE army is for the Syrian
people in every way" he added.
If the Syrian people want to
be Communist. nobody can in
terfere. 1t is the same If they
want to be Fascist. 1t is an in
ternal matter"
Asked whether the army had
taken over control from the
politicians. Gen. Bizry coun-
tered:
you can go and ask our for
eign minister Isaiah Bita) if
we took control of politics. The
foreign minister is very happy.
He makes his own statements
and says whatever he likes"
The all-powerful army is
under the thumb of mystery
man Col. Abdel Hamid Serial,
the army's intelligence chief.
Urgent Consultations
The recent developments
swinging Syria more sharply to
the left brought urgent consul
tations in Washington and
other Western capitals and
among North Atlantic and
Baghdad pact partners. In
formants said these two main
courses were being studied as
possible countermoves:
/. A show of strength, such
as the United States 9th Fleet
operations in the Mediter-
ranean when Jordan's throne
teetered last April.
2. A drive to arouse Middle
East nations fearful of COM
muniSm in a concerted move
to boycott Syria.

Big Increase Seen
In West Germany
Steel Production

DUSSELDORF, Germ any,
June l4-West Germany's busy
steel makers expect to push pro-
duction to Is million tons this
year.
This would be a whopping
1.8 million-ton increase over last
years output of 1872 million tons.
With this increase, West Ger
many would maintain its position
as the worlds third largest steel
producer after the United States
and the Soviet Union.
During the first quarter of this
year, the smoky Ruhr mills rolled
out steel at an annual rate of
24,112.000 tons compared with
%. 484 900 tons for Britain and
14,020, 900 tons for France.
From January through April,
West Germany's output amount
ed to 7,956,O00 tons or So per
cent more than in the same
period Of last year.
With production capacity
growing. the steel makers expect
no difficulty.
