FURIOIIS protests ritosil LABOR PARTY Eclen Presses Decision To Take Over Canal Zone

LONDON (Reuters) - Sir An- ihuny Eden Wednesday night pressed forward with the Anglo- French decision to .occupy the Suez Canal Zone despite an out- burst of furious protests from the Labor partymofeposition.

To the Ii of Commons. the Prime Minister declared the mil- ilary action is intended to be tem- porary in protecting the canal. sep- arating warring Egypt and Israel and promoting a permanent Mid- dle East settlement.

in one of the strongest indict- ments ever made by the opposi- tion against a British government. Labor leader Hugh Gsltskell ac- cused Eden of shaking the Anglo- American alliance, British support for the United Nations. and Com- monwealth ties. . . '

The aroused opposition declared Britain and France would clearly be guilty of "aggression" in tak- ing over the canal and bring the entire power of the United Nations against the two nations.

PRESENT CENSUIIE MOTION

Wedidli Dllllt. the Labir party presented a motion of can- sure to be debated today. It pro- tested against the government's resort to armed force against Egypt "in clear violation of the UN charter. t .

CHURCHILL SILENT

Former prime minister Sir Win- ston Churchill was in his seat as Eden spoke in the future tense about "the military action we shall have to take." '

Emphasizing that Britain and France desired the military action to be "temporary," the prime min- ister added:

"But it is our intention that our actlon to protect the canal and separate the combatants should result in a settlement-which will prevent such a. situation arising periodically in the future."

That wasareferenoeto thecon- slant friction and border clashes between Israel and Egypt since the two nations signed an armis- tice more than seven years ago.

OFFERS BEST HOPE

Eden said the Anglo-French de- cision "offers the best opportunity there is of bringing hostilities mp- ldly to an end and of preventing hostilities from spreading wider."

Despite bitter Labor criticism. the prime minister defended Brit- ain's veto of an American resolu- tion before the Security Council Tuesday night. It called for with- drawal of Israeli forces behind their own borders.

"That seemed and seems to us. in all the circumstances that have preceded these ate events. tobeaharshdernandifitlsto stand alone." Eden said. "It cer- tainly could not be said to meet in any way the guarantee for Is- rsel's security . . . ."

alliance. he said. is "the basis for l9

peace in this country" and cer- tainly the United States should have been consulted beforehand about the Anglo-French action.

"ACT OF SABOTAGE"

Galtskell added that the British veto of the U.S. resolution was "a major act of sabotage against the United Nations." -

"Whatever doubts there may be about the degree of aggression in the Israeli invasion of Egypt and the extent of the provocation which she uffered. there can unfortun- ate be no doubt about the natine of the British and French aggres- sion. It is clear beyond all deroga- tion."

Gaiiskell said he doubted whether Britain and France would find "a single supporter" among all the UN memt . for their action.

BRITAIN-FRANCE WARN OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y (CP) The United Nations Security Coun- cil Wednesday night overrode Brit- iah and French objections and called the U General Assembly into extraordinary session to halt the fighting in Egypt. .

The vote in favor of the Yug lav resolution was 7 to 2 with the United States and the Soviet Union supporting it. Others favoring the calling of a special session under the "uniting for peace" plan were Cuba. Iran. Peru and Nationalist China. Britain and France voted against it, with Belgium and Aus- tralia abstaining.

The 78-nation General Assembly was expected to be called into ses- sion as soon as possible. probably ihisma'nlng.totakeup i.lleMid- dia East crisis.

DIXON DEFENDS ACTIONS

Earlier in Wednesday's debate Sir Pierson said he thought nobody would take "very se- riously" the Russian charge that the Anglo - French invasion of Egypt was part of a plot to stir up trouble in the Middle East so so as to restore "old colonial era- pires."

”0ur intervention." he said, "is not aimed at the sovereignty of Egypt, still less at the territorial integrity of Egypt."
