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

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.

In Lebanon, that spot on the

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

famous cedars of Lebanon. Ihesc

omon's temple in Jerusalem.
During the Crusades, Lebanon
was a gateway to the Holy Land

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.

SAUSALITO, Calif. (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.
In messages to Mrs. Olga Burns
in Sausalito and the Bechtel Corp.
in San Francisco the department
said "at this moment there is no
way of verifying" the reported
deaths.
Burns was in Baghdad as di
rector general of the Holy Land
Foundation. His wife said he left
San Francisco May 28 to organ
ize facilities for the foundation's
objectives of promoting tourism
in Iraq and Jordan and to com
bat Communist influence there.
On Dec. 7, 1941 he telephoned
the first eyewitness account of the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
from Honolulu to the AP bureau
in San Francisco.
Since leaving the Associated
Press in 1945 he has written a
svndicated wild life column "Is
That So!"
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. Before starting a
writing career with the Honolulu
Star Bulletin, Bums studied at the
University of Washington and Har
vard and taught English at the
University of Idaho and Albany
College in Oregon.
