OREGON PAGE. 9 A Allies, Neutrals Applaud U.S. Lebanonese Landing By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON (AP) The Communist bloc and some neutral nations ac cused the United States today of aggression in Lebanon that might touch off a global war. . But most of America's allies and some other neutrals applauded the landing of Marines at Beirut as a vital necessity not only to preserve Lebanon but also to protect the free world. A few allies had reser vations. - Initial reactions from behind the Iron Curtain were slight com pared with the propaganda broad sides which Western observers : expect the Kremlin to unleash. The Soviet news ' agency Tass aid the United States was trying "to cover armed aggression with ' references to the rights of collec tive self-defense envisaged by the ' United Nations Charter. Pravda Meg Phofogs Hopping Mad :: VICTORIA, B.C. (AP) Pho tographers assigned to cover Prin cess Margaret's review of an in ternational fleet of warships off Vancouver Island were hopping mad Wednesday over the treat ment they say they received. The .13 photographers, from the United States, England and Cana da, were aboard the Canadian de stroyer escort Crescent with Prin cess Margaret during the review Tuesday, but they said they were locked in a room below decks most of the time. "I have never been insulted like that in my life," snapped Eric Cable of the Vancouver, B.C., Province when the Crescent re turned to Victoria. William Tetlow of Federal News- photos of Canada said it was "the most undignified treatment I have received in 25 years of news pho tography." "I wonder if the Princess knew what was going on below decks,'1 Jim Ryan of the Victoria Colonist said. The photographers said they boarded the Crescent before Prin cess Margaret did and were es corted below decks. They said they were instructed to leave their equipment in a handling room and then they were locked in the chief petty officers' mess room. They were permitted to shoot pictures for only six minutes apiece during the 3',4-hour stay aboard the Crescent, they said, adding that their only refreshment during that time was a jug of cold water. Bay Men's Death Told said the Marines were engaged in open piracy. Hungary chimed in with a charge of "American aggression." Czechoslovakia re jected an American note explain ing the landing. Communist Yugoslavia did not go along with Moscow in accusine Washington of aggression. But President Tito s government said only the U.N. is entitled to act in Lebanon and by going it alone the United States threatened to touch off a world war. Tito sent a cable on the crisis to Prime Minister Nehru of neu tral India., Nehru had said the rebel seizure of power from a pro Western government in Iraq, which led to the U.S. landing in Lebanon, might lead to a confla- ration from which neutrals can not escape. Newspapers in New Delhi at tacked the landing in terms ri valed only by the unanimous con demnation of the Soviet Union last month for the execution of former Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy. "American interventici in Lebanon is no less a crime tmn the Soviet incursion into Hun gary" to crush the 1956 uprising, the Indian Express said. Both Britain and France sup ported the U.S. action. Some Frenchmen commented bitterly, however, that this seemed to jus tify the Anglo-French invasion of Suez in 1956, which Washington helped stop. Writing in the con servative Figaro, Andre Francois Poncet of the French Academy said, "Eisenhower appears to have realized the failure of the tactics he has followed up to now and is disposed to adopt another course. Iraq's three Asian associates in the anti-Soviet Baghdad Pact Turkey, Iran and Pakistan dis cussed the situation at a meeting in Ankara and expressed their "satisfaction and thanks" official ly for the American landing. Another leader whose country U.A.R. President Nasser would like to dominate. Prime Minister Abdulla Khalil of Sudan, said the U.S. action gave him "overwhelm ing joy" and was a turning point in tne Middle East crisis. He add ed his government has no tendon cy to recognize the pro-Nasser rebel government in Iraq. Both Nationalist China and Pan ama, U.S. allies sitting on the U.N. Security Council, announced support 'for the American action But three Far Eastern allies had reservations. Japanese govern ment sources termed the landing unwise and undesirable. The sources said Japan's Security Council delegate would work for withdrawal of the Marines. Kim Dong Jo. vice foreign min ister of South Korea, declined to take a stand and said Seoul was watching the situation carefully. Foreign Secretary Fehxberto Ser rano of the Philippines said, "Things are too vague now to take a definite stand. 81 .-(V?7 A-i'fjJ-'b, rtV BEAUTY CONTEST WINNERS DOING ALL RIGHT It's often said that beauty contest winners return to oblivion after their victories but these winners are supporting them selves through movies, television, modeling and night clubs.

By CHARLES STAFFORD Associated Press N'ewsfeatures Writer In Lebanon, that spot on the lobe where for the moment peace dangles over the snakepit of war. East and West strike a delicate balance. Across the centuries, the watch Fob-sized nation on the eastern hore of the Mediterranean Sea has been a crossroads for the two worlds. It is more so than ever in this modern age when armies and nations travel on petroleum. Much of the Middle East's oil produc tion is piped out of Saudi Arabia and Iraq to Lebanon's ports where it is loaded into tankers for ship ment to Europe. The Russians, who find it politic to back Gaincl Abdel Nasser in his passion to unite the Arab na- lons, would like to see Lebanon fall into the hands of Nasser's new United Arab Republic. The United Slates, pledged hv the Eis enhower Doctrine to fight for the "preservation of the independence' of Middle Eastern nations, would not. Lebanon, a melting pot where Christian and Moslem have lived peacefully under the same flag was able to remain officially neu tral to the big power tug of war until recently. Then Camille Chamoun, Lehan en's Christian and pro - Western president, upset the delicate bat ance. He hinted he would seek to amend the Lebanese constitution so he could serve a second term. lis His hint touched off a flame of opposition among Moslem leaders. who are opposed tor a variety of reasons to the Chamoun govern ment. This flame was fanned to violence by the Nasser propagan dists of Radio Cairo and Radio Damascus. The history of Lebanon stretches back into eternity. Ancient Egypt had designs on iUbecause of the i famous cedars of Lebanon. Ihesc trees were used later to build Sol omon's temple in Jerusalem. During the Crusades, Lebanon was a gateway to the Holy Land (or the Western armies. But West gave way to East in 1289 when the region fell to the Mameluke sultan of Egypt. It fell again in 1516, this time to the Ottoman Turks. After Turkey's defeat in World War I. Lebanon was occupied by the French.

(AP) -Eugene Burns, who went un scathed through much of World War II as a correspondent in the Pacific theater, has been reported killed in the Iraq revolt. The State Department said Tues day night unconfirmed reports from "third parties" to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said Burns and George S. Colley Jr., over seas construction chief for Pacific Bechtel Corp., were killed in Baghdad rioting Monday.

Mrs. Burns said her husband organized the Holy Land Founda tion after returning home in March from a Middle East visit with his wife and 14-year-old twin daughters, Stephanie and Carol. Burns wrote several books on wild life and fishing and a book on the combat career of the air craft carrier Enterprise, "Then There Was One." Colley, about 56, executive vice president of Pacific Bechtel Corp., overseas subsidiary of one of the nation's major engineering and construction firms, was inspecting oil company construction jobs in Iraq. Colley's wife, Marmorie, was reported on a motor trip in Mex ico. Burns was born in Moscow and came to the United States as a child. He was naturalized in Se attle in 1929.
