MP Assails “Cavorting” Lloyd, Dulles

Conservative Raps British, American Policy In Mideast

LONDON, March 4 Clamor­ ous criticism of British and Ameri­ can policies in the Middle East Rounded in Britain today as a re­ sult of the firing of the British commander of Jordan's Arab Le­ gion. The criticism crossed party lines as tears were expressed that the danger of war between Jews and Arabs had been made more acute by the removal of the steadying influence of Lt. Gen. John Bagot Gluhb from the service of Jordan atter more than a quarter century.

Sir Robert Boothby, an outspok­ en Conservative member of Par­ liament, assailed what he called “cavorting” foreign secretaries, md declared in a newspaper ar­ iole that Britain's Selwyn Lloyd md U.S. Secretary of State John foster Dulles should spend more ime at their desks. Dulles is on a our of the Far East, and Lloyd is visiting key Middle East capitals. Both are on their way to a meeting >f the Southeast Asia Treaty Or­ ganisation in Pakistan. Joint Policy Is Urged “ It is a mistake.” Sir Robert said, “ for foreign secretaries to spend half of their time cavorting all over the world. By so doing they have achieved nothing but loss of prestige.” Sir Robert insisted. “ Britain and the United States must produce, without further delay, a joint pol­ icy for the Middle East which they failed to achieve in Washington.” He ^referred lo Prime Minister Eden's recent visit to President Eisenhower. Hugh Gaitskell. leader of the Labor party, told a political rally, “ The government has completely failed to match up to the new situ­ ation in the Middle East and the danger of war there is undoubted­ ly becoming more acute.” En J Of Era At Hand?

Emmanuel Shinwell. who served first as defense minister in the Attlee Labor government, said, “ It would not surprise me to see fur­ ther trouble in Saudi Arabia and Iraq ” Britons who have long prided themselves on being a stabilizing influence in the Middle East, were hard hit by the firing of Glubb. Many now freely acknowledge that the end of an era has come, and are demanding that a joint British-American policy be shaped to meet the situation An under­ current voice here is that the United States is partly to blame for waging an "oil war.”

Cheerful In Spite Of Burns

In the hospital since January 3 and faced with the prospect of many more months of skin grafting surgery to repair damage done by burns over 75 per cent of her body, 4-year-old Martha Ann Miller, Knoxville, Tenn., still remains cheerful. She is shown here with her mother, Mrs. Thomas Miller. Martha Ann has a large group of hackers in her struggle back to health—Kawanians and Shriners of Knoxville, who are underwriting the heavy costs. The child was burned when her 3-year-old brother gave her a cup of gasoline which she thought was water and threw into a fireplace to put out a tire,
