Newsman at U.N. Calk Invasion of
Suez Canal a ‘Monumental Blunder
PHILADELPHIA The Brit
ish-French invasion of the Suez
Canal zone was a “monumental
■blunder" that increased the pres
tige of Egyptian Premier Nasser
among the Arab and Asian na
tions, the Associated Press Man
aging Editors Assn, was told yes
terday.
Max Harrelson, AP chief cor
respondent at the United Nations,
told the second session of the
four-day 23rd annual APME con
ference that the British-French
move “probably will result even
tually in their complete banish
ment as major influences in the
Middle East.”
Harrelson, who led a discussion
of the Middle East situation, said
the British-French move “serious
ly damaged their relations with
the United States and undermined
their positions as Western cham
pions of international law and
order. It increased the prestige
of Nasser among the Arab and
Asian nations. It left a vacuum

into which the Russians were
quickly moving.”
The explosion in the Middle
East, Harrelson said, “was bound
to occur.”
“If Israel hadn't started it,”
he said. “Nasser would have. Ev
erything was pointed in that di
rection since September 1955,
when the Russians made an arms
deal with Egypt.”
The determining factor, Harrel
son added, “was the Soviet diffi
culties in Poland and Hungary.”
And, he said, “the principal fac
tor in the cease-flre and the agree
ment of Britain, France and Is
rael to withdraw was not public
pressure or U.N. action but threats
of Soviet intervention.”
“All three invaders,” he said,
“were firmly convinced that Rus
sia would move in and start a
third world war.”
Negro Bus Boycott
In Montgomery
Voted to End
MONTGOMERY, Ala., UPt—‘The
Negro bus boycott that became a
symbol of mass resistance to ra
cial segregation was voted to an
end Wednesday night at the
church where it was bom 345
days before.
An estimated 5,000 hymn-sing
ing persons crowded into the Holt
Street Baptist Church to vote
thunderously for an end to the
Montgomery boycott.
The Negroes decided to return
to city buses as soon as the U.S.
Supreme Court’s decision that bus
segregation is unconstitutional
goes into effect here.
Their leader, the Rev. K. Mar
tin Luther King Jr., told the
cheering throng that the decision
should reach Montgomery courts
in several days. He urged calm
ness and restraint when it comes.
Until then, boycotters at the
Holt St. church and at a similar
meeting on the other side of town
agreed unanimously, they will
walk to work or share rides with
friends.
ANSWER THE QUESTION
DAYTON, Ohio Wl—'“What time
does the next bus leave?” a wom
an asked Otis Smytho, bus station
owner in suburban Fairborn.
“Where to, ma’am?” as asked.
“None of your business,” she
snapped.
