Soldiers Jolts Relations Abroad
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UPi—State De
partment officials were con
cerned today that a remark by
Secretary of State Dulles about
British and French soldiers might
deal a new jolt to U.S. relations
with Britain and France.
The remark Was made by Dul
les Friday while he was testify
ing before the Senate Foreign Re
lations and Armed Services Com
mittees in support of President
Eisenhower’s request for special
military-economic powers to stop
Communist expansion in the Mid
dle East.
Sen. Morse €D-Ore), a critic of
the Eisenhower proposals, said
he wanted to know why the ad

Canadian Firm
May Launch Oil
Program in Alaska
VANCOUVER, UP)—The Prov
ince says a Canadian-owned and
financed company is moving into j
Alaska and the Yukon with a
$15,000,000 program to refine and
distribute petroleum products.
The report says Vancouver
would become a major supply
point for the venture, announced
Friday by Alaska-Yukon Refiners
and Distributers Ltd., of Edmon
ton.
“The venture is unique in that j
Canadian oil interests are moving i
into U.S. territory in a broad
field,” the newspaper said.
The program included:
A $6 million refinery at Haines
near the tip of the Alaska Pan
handle; the refinery to receive
crude oil by deep-sea tanker from
the western terminus of the trans
mountain oil pipeline near Van
couver; ,
Two “small inch” pipelines—
one linking Haines with Alaska
Junction in the Yukon and with
the Canol. line built during World
War II, and the other connecting
Tok Junction on the Canol line j
with Anchorage;
Construction of deep-water fa
cilities at Haines, making it a j
year-round, ice-free port;
Distribution of petroleum prod- j
ucts thruout Alaska and the Yu

oil refinery.
. Prince Charles Begins
Daily Classes Outside
Buckingham Palace
LONDON, UP>—Prince Charles,
8-year-old heir to the British
throne, began his education today
in the big, wide world outside
Buckingham Palace.
A shiny limousine drove him
from the palace to a private
school where he will attend mom
• ing classes five days a week with
other children his age.
His enrollment appeared to be
a victory for his father, the Duke
of Edinburgh, at present on a
round-the-world tour. The duke
had been reported waging a cam
paign to get his son away from
the female-dominated - confines of
Buckingham palace, Sandringham
and other royal households, with
their attendant nannies and gov
ernmesses.

; commitment from the British and
French to help the United States
in any fight against Communist
aggression in the Middle East.
In reply, Dulles said Morse
ought to “give very serious con
sideration” to Arab hostility to
the British and French because
of their invasion of Egypt last
fall.
Then, Dulles added in a hu
morous vein:
“Personally, I’d rather not have
a French and British soldier be
side me, one on my right and one
on my left.”
British and French correspon
dents asked the State Department
whether Dulles intended a slur
on the troops of their countries.
The State Department tried to
head off negative overseas reac
tion with an assuiance that Dul
les did not mean to insult British
and French armed forces.
But it appeared from the first
reactions in British newspapers
that the explanation didn’t do the
trick. The London Daily Sketch,
for example, carried a front page
banner headline reading: “Dulles
Insult to Forces.”
Democrats Deny
Organized Attack
On Secy. Dulles
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON WV—Sen. Wiley
(R-Wis) said today some Demo
crats with presidential ambitions
are engaging in an organized at
tack on Secretary of State Dulles.
“There seem to 'be sevea] of
these horsemen riding their pres
idential ambitions hard,” he said
in an interview. He did not name
them.
Both Sen. Mansfield (D-Mont)
and Sen. Jackson (U-Wash) said
there is no organized attack on
Dulles. Mansfield, assistant Dem
ocratic leader in the Senate, said
those who have criticized Dulles
have acted as individuals.
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) said
in an interview Congress is show
ing a “growing lack of confi
dence” in Dulles, and he added:
“There is a growing feeling that
Mr. Dulles may well be a casualty
of the cold war, just as Mr. Eden
was.”
Jackson agreed that Dulles
“has lost the confidence of many
i in Congress and we know he has
| lost the confidence of our allies.”
But he added he is “not going
j to suggest that Dulles resign.”
