Britain Has
Suez Canal
London (UK Britain has
5,000 troops on Cyprus an hour
by air from Egypt to spearhead
any attempt to reoccupy the
Suez Canal Zone, and heavy na
val and military reinforcements
are standing by.
Within a few hours after the
government decided on a "pre
cautionary" buildup in the East
ern Mediterranean, three air
craft carriers and a cruiser had
been alerted for early departure
to an unknown destination.
Simultaneously, the imperial
general staff completed plans for
the emergency processing of 20,
000 reservists, in addition to the
three divisions already under
arms in Britain.
One destroyer !s already at
Cyprus, and Britain's entire
Mediterranean fleet an aircraft
carrier, four cruisers, seven de
stroyers, four submarines and
a swarm of auxiliary craft is
"on maneuvers" nearby.
A British cruiser and a de
stroyer are in the Red Sea, a
few miles from the eastern end
of the canal.
To match these preparations,
Egypt's President Gemal Abdel
Nasser is reported massing the
destroyers and submarines he
recently obtained from the Rus
sians at the approaches to the
canal from east and west.

Hearings on Timber
Consolidation Said
'Cheap Political Show1
Washington U.R Rep.
Clare E. Hoffman (R-Mich.) an
nounced his opposition yesterday
to a proposal by the majority of
the House Government Opera
tions Committee for consolida
tion in the forest service of all
government timber activities.
Hoffman charged that hear
ings which produced the recom
"mendation were a "cheap polit
ical show" designed to help
Democratic candidates and hurt
Republicans in Washington and
Oregon.
Favors Widespread Hearings
He said he is "firmly opposed"
to the proposed consolidation of
timber marketing and forest
management for lands adminis
tered by the Forest Service, the
Bureau of Land Management
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
jf "If any such consolidation is
to be seriously considered," he
said, "i should be done only
during and subsequent to wide
spread public hearings to hear
the views and opinions of all in
terested groups not just a few
people in the Pacific Northwest."

that they will be available to
Egypt if the West decides to as
sure the freedom of Suez by
force.
Under, present circumstances,
it Is only in the air that Nasser
could give British forces much
of a fight if they sought to re
occupy the canal zone.
British land-based air units in
the Mediterranean are equipped
with absolescent Meteor jets,
which probably would prove no
match for Nasser's Russian-made
Migs.
Carrier planes of more recent
make are already on hand to re
inforce the Meteors, however,
and in case of action it is likely
that up-to-the-minute jets would
be flown from Britain.
Paratroopers Ready
If Britain decides to take the
zone, the first troops to move
probably would be the red-be-reted
Independent Parachute
Brigade, currently being used to
hunt down anti-British guer
rillas on Cyprus.
Transports with a capacity of
50 paratroopers each probably
would fly the brigade to i. des
ignated airfield in the zone, with
orders to seize and hold it while
reinforcements poured in by
plane to secure the "airhead."
British authorities scoffed at
speculation that the navy might
Hoffman's minority views, were
based on 10 days of hearings by

Hoffman said the hearings de

Contribution Told
Hoffman said that Neuberger,
a member of the Senate subcom
mittee, attemptd to pose "as
the champion of the little man"
and as an advocate of sale of tim

But he said the hearines

Ask Suspensions
Eugene (U.R) Members of
the Eugene fire department yes
terday asked city officials to sus
pend them also if the city went
through with the suspension of
two firemen scheduled tb be laid
off without pay for 60 days.
The two firemen, Captain
Fred O'Sullivan and Patrick
Flynn, were to be suspended as
the outgrowth of an investiga
tion of fire department personnel
and policies conducted recently
by two civil service investi
gators. The two men were accused of
releasing interviews critical of
the department without consult
ing the fire chief.
The petition, containing 49
names, stated?
"These men were not repre
senting themselves solely but
the firemen as a whole. There
fore, we take this action: That the
undersigned also be given a like
amount of suspension or the
previous order be rescinded."
Copies were sent to the mayor,
the city council, and the city
manager.

to like Gov. Averell Harriman,
of New York, the only 100 per
cent Truman Fair Deal candi
date in the race.
Wants No Risk
The word around was that ;
Mr. Truman was strongly tempt-1
ed to make a hard move at the
convention to prevent Steven-'
son's nomination and to put Har
riman at the head of the party's
1956 ticket. Whether he would
do that, some of his old time as
sociates believed, would depend
largely upon his judgment of the
chances for success. Mr. Truman
would not want to take too much
of a chance' on losing an open
convention battle.
And so it seemed to stand as
of Tuesday afternoon. Then j
shortly after 4 p.m. (EDT) Ke-!
fauver announced that he was
withdrawing from the presi
dential race. He endorsed
Stevenson for the Democratic j
nomination. The senator certain-.
ly did no such thing merely to ,
land a probably fatal blow on 1
Harriman's chances and on Mr. '
Truman's possible role as a 1956 ;
convention manipulator.
A Stevenson-Kefauver ticket
seems quite possible now al-.
though there would be some 1
geographical objections to it.
The lure of the vice presidential
nomination well could have
been among the factors which i
moved Kefauver to make a pre
convention move which comes !
close to assuring Stevenson's
nomination.
The Retaliation Factor
The satisfaction of letting Mr.
Truman have one where it ;
should hurt, however, must have
been a pretty sizable factor, too.
Mr. Truman has been represent-'
ed at times as being neutral be- j
tween Stevenson and Harriman, ;
but there has been no such j
double talk about his thoughts
on Kefauver. j
It cannot be said that Kefau- i
ver is even with . the former
President, but he's gaining on I
him. The senator scored first 1
