Ceylon Newspapers! Suggest Gluck Find Way Out as Envoy Colombo, Ceylon W Local newspapers Saturday called U.S. Ambassador-Delegate Max well H. Cluck "I-don't-know Cluck" and suggested he "find some way to get out" of his ap point.nent as envoy to Ceylon. "The kind of publicity Cluck has been getting here," the Mor ning Times commented, "makes it very unlikely that he could function effectively or comfor tably in Ceylon." The Ceylonese press has been pouring out copy critical of Cluck since he disclosed he did not know the name of Ceylon's prime minister, Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike. The Chinese Communist radio Peiping also entered the contro versy Saturday. A Peiping broadcast heard in London quo ted the Ceylon Daily News as remarking: "Cluck is the first American we know to have ac tually admitted his ignorance on a subject." The public discussion, rang ing from Jests to harsh criticism. was stepped up following Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles' London comments of Friday, Dules said that if the United , States were to limit its selection of Envoys to Ceylon to those who knew the country's prime minister "we would have a lim ited choice." The Times said yesterday that ' the case of Maxwell Cluck' was becoming "more and more embarrassing to everybody" with "each explanation" for him. "It is not necessary for an ambassador to know everything about the country to which he is appointed," the newspaper said. What disturbs us is that Cluck see.ned at the time of questioning to know next to nothing about world events gen erally and especially the most Important political document of the year, the U.N. report on Hungary." "Nobody doubts his good will, the paper added, "and he undoubtedlj has a desire to serve his country but seems to be the wrong kind of person for a diplomatic post. "It is in no spirit of mischief that we suggest Ciuck find some way to get out of the appoint men to Ceylon that he has accepted.".
