The British position on Southeast Asia and on possible UN intervention was that every negotiating opportunity must be given Russia and ißed China at Geneva before the demibcractes act on closing ranks against Communist expansionism. A third insight into the Eieen-hower-Dullee shift away from British policy—although not necessarily always a successful one—is in the little known fact that the U. 8. strongly supported the demands of Thailand and the Philippines for inclusion in the recent five-power military talks held on high levels in Washington. The sources from the Pacific at UN pointed out that the key military leaders of the five powers— Britain. France, the U. S., Australia and New ealand — Concerned themselves with the strategy of military defense of Southeast Asia and that as such Thailand and the Philippines should have been included. The Briitsh were understood to have been primarily instrumental in barring them. A Pacific representative said: “This Is ah open, eecrtein the foreign offices in the* capitals of Asia and England consequently is not stocking up Asian goodwill to its credit.” «

Hoosier Back From Guatemala Ordeal ~ Indianapolis Man Back Home Safely IN DI AN A POLI S» (I NS) - Preston G. Woolf was safe in his Indianapolis home today after a suspense filled trip into and out of Guatemala. “The - president of American Bev- ? ■’’/ crage & Supply Corporation, which deals with Central and South American clients, said he found Guatemala easy enough to enter. Getting out was another story. Woolf and seven other persons, including two women, walked part of the way across mountainous, roads, rode banana trains, buses and finally. bribed a Guatemalan boat owner. -4. The final action took the party across a river "about the size of . Fall Creek” and carried the United States citizens into Mexico, where they reported to authorities and transportation to their homes was arranged. ■ln many of the 18 countries he » visited, Woolf said he found •‘antiYankee” feeling running high. Striking Honduras workers screamed “Yankee go home,” and Communist leaflets and posters carried such wqrds as "American Imperialism . . Yankee Dollars." Woolf went to Guatemala after trouble had started. ’He said his Pan American flight was canceled out of El Salvador but he managed to enter Guatemala in a private plane. He was there a week before being forced to flee. He eaid: “I had. no trouble getting in. It wasn’t as easy to get out.” In the exodus, Woolf said he saw natives carrying everything from "Daniel Boone type muskets to submachine guns.” The trips through Central and South America always interest Woolf but he said on his return:. “Indianapolis looks pretty good right now.” DON’T TAKE A CHANCE TAKE PLENAMINS Smith Co.
