Criticism Os America Is Mounting In Europe

Editor’* note: Criticism of America ha* moulted in Europe since last fall’s Sues crista. It isn’t confined to newspaper account* and living room conversation*. Even the Amers, lean tourist abroad thia year mar hear some of it. U.P. correspondent Claire Cox did aa she motored with her hus- ' band through Britain and the continent. By CLAIRE COX United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON (UP) — A horde of more than 700,000 Americans are looking forward to trips to Europe this year—but is Europe looking forward to them? • The Italians and French both treat the American tourist as a child—the Italians as their own, the French as someone else's. Beth advertise widely for visits by Americans. Both say they are glad to see Americans. But while the Italians smile when they take your dollars, the French just take them. The British don't drink tea so much any more. These days they drink American-style coffee and criticize the United States. British streets and highways are traveled by Britons in American - style automobiles. London shops feature styles fresh from Fifth Avenue. There is an Ameri-can-style soda fountain at Shakespeare’s birthplace-at Stratford. Pleased and Angry But Britons make it quite clear

that while they may buy American, they don’t have to be pro-Ameri-can. The Swiss are pleased at the chance of a greater income from' tourists than watches. The West Germans are glad Americans feel more free to • visit their country and they hope for a revival of the friendly exchanges of post World War I days. But some Swiss are angry at the U.S. for its higher tariffs on Swiss watch movements and its decision not to back the BritishFrench invasion of Suez. Some West Germans resent American “efficiency” and dislike Yankees because of the presence of the U.S. Army in Germany 12 years after the war. These are impressions gained after two months’ motoring through Britain and the continent. My husband and I came to Europe with no preconceived ideas of what we would find. We just packed our bags—and our money—and came. Our impressions came only from dealing with persons who live off the tourist business. Complain about One day a hotel waiter in Preston, England, tells you. “All the world radiates from America these days.” The next you hear a British woman declare, “No one in the world likes Americans any more ” “We don’t care whether we get your dollars or not," said a shop-

keeper when an American complained that he was not getting a fair exchange tor his traveler’s check. Our visit to Britain began with a rocky voyage across the English Channel from France. During that storm-tossed ride I sat fighting off seasickness and was a captive audience for an English woman’s attacks on Americans. “Americans aren’t liked anywhere,” she said. “They are going to have to find a solution to the Middle East... The Americans did not do any real ground fighting in World War 11. They sent planes to flatten everything and then moved troops in with little fighting...” We heard some French criticism of American policies and a Paris cab driver charged us $8 for a SI ride without batting an eye. But a French government travel bureau official said, “I guess we can be angry at the United States without being angry at all Americans.” To Study Re-Zoning Petition Moy 27 A petition for re-zoning tfn area at the western limits of the city of Decatur will be studied at a meeting of the city plan commission Monday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. in city hall.

New Crisis Is Blowing Up On Suez Canal Israel Reaffirms Right For Use Os International Canal By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent A new crisis was blowing up today over the Suez Canal. Israel reaffirmed its right and determination to use the international waterway while Egyptian officials repeated their determination to halt any Israeli ship and blamed President Eisenhower for "encouraging” Israel. Egyptian newspapers attacked the Eisenhower statement today and said **it is really to be regretted that when conditions are beginning to stabilize, America should encourage an Israeli move which may result in world conflagration." France announced it would ask the United Nations Security Council to reopen the entire Suez Canal question on Monday in hopes of weakening Egypt’s total control of the waterway. In London Prime Minister Harold Macmillan faced a Labor Party vote of censure tonight on his government's decision to use the canal on terms laid down by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Israeli .Foreign Minister Golds Meir today reaffirmed Israel’s rights to use the Suez Canal and said, "We shall defend our righto by all the means at our disposal.” However highlyplaced Israeli sources said Israel has acceded to a request from President Eisenhower not to launch a test ship through the canal in the near future. Previously Israel was expected to test the blockade “very soon." Mrs. Meir, in an interview with United Press correspondent Eliav Simon also affirmed Israel's right to use the Gulf of Awaba and said Saudi Arabia's announced intention of closing the gulf to Israeli shipping violated international law. In other Middle East developments: Baghdad: Diplomats predicted the new trade pact between Saudi Arabia and Iraq will make the former enemies the two closest nations in the Arab world. There still was no official word on whether King Hussein of Jordan would visit with King Saud and King Feisal. Cairo: A five-man delegation left

National Right To Work Law Is Urged Lt. Gov. Parker Is \ Speaker To Bankers FRENCH LICK (UP)—Congress should enaet a national "right-to-work” law, Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker said Wednesday night. Parker told the Indiana Bankers Association he was "completely proud" that Indiana has become "the first industrial state" to enact a law outlawing union shop contracts. Parker, unlike Governor Handley who remained neutral, went on record in favor of the controversial law during the 1957 Legislature. He told the bankers: "Let us see to it that by our courage, our fairness, and our good example other states—and even the United States Congresswill .completely restore to American working men and women the free choice to join or not to Join whatever labor union may be operating at the place where they earn their daily bread.” Parker added it was “high time that our government protect these individual working people instead of pandering to labor bosses." Parker, in an obviops reference to Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan, asked his audience to "contrast our eden-like situation with that of Michigan.” “There a political tyrant who has been kept in office by the ominous might of ruthless labor bosses and by the cowardly surrender of certain businessmen has demanded a new six per cent tax on corporate profits. He wants to raise a pyramid of taxes to match his pyramid of power. “No wonder that industries are now fleeing Michigan. No wonder that this radical ruler of our sister state is now planning to leave the wreckage of his regime and boldly and brazenly touts himself for the presidency of the 48 states. “He and his labor boss mentors constitute one of the biggest menaces to a safe and sane 'America." Referring to the Indiana highway scandal, which Parker said he “hopes will be completely aired," the lieutenant-governor said: "While it remains to be proven in open court thht there was any actual law-breaking in these strange and sinister goings-on, it can at least be said at this time that they were shady, that they displayed a complete callousness of conscience, that they represented the sort of favoritism which is commonly called ‘cronyism,’ and that they marked those responsible as unfit for further public trust."-
