DISPUTE By HAL COOPER LONDON «® — A serious Con- servative party rift over Britain’s Suez Canal Zone pact with Egypt handed the Laborite opposition a tempting chance today to force the resignation of Prime Minister Churchill. It was doubtful the So- cialists would seize the chance. The test comes in a House of Commons vote tonight on Chureh- ill’s' motion demanding Parlia- ment’s approval of the agreement to pull Britain’s 83,000 troops out ofthe strategic Canal Zone. A group of 40 rebellious Con- ‘servatives, angered at seeing an- other bit of Britain’s dwiridling em- pire crumble away, have served notice they will vote against the government. Nominal Majority With only a nominal .Conserva- tivé majority of 20 votes in the 625-member House, Churchill thus was in the uncomfortable position of having to depend on his Socialist opponents for the support neces- sary to put his policy across. The ticklish situation in Com- mons was one of several troubles currently plaguing the old warrior who has yet shown no inclination to heed the urging of his wife and doctors that he retire. i In the House of Lords there was an almost unprecedented scene last night as Lord Reading, min- ister‘ of state, for foreign affairs, set forth the government’s position in support of the Suez agreement. Angered peers, who normally sup- port the government, complained they had no time to study the pact. ‘They became silent only after the house leader, Lord Salisbury, one of Churchill’s closest advisers, withdrew the request. Two Resign Churchill was harassed also by a Cabinet shakeup following the resignation of two of his Cabinet min . A third also announced he had submitted his resignation, but there was no indication wheth- er it would be accepted. Abroad, Greece served notice she would bring her demand for Cyprus! before the United Nations despite Britain’s decision to grant the colony a constitution that would advance it nearer to self-rule. The Churchill government served no- tice yesterd:y Britain plans to hold) on to the fortress island in the Mediterranean, to which she plans to shift troops from the Suez. Laborite members of Commons were thoroughly enjoying the Cor seryatives’ dilemma but they their plans to themselves, Most observers thought the So- cialists could not vote Charchill out on the Suez issue without comoro- mising their own principles. The official policy of the Labor party has long been in favor of pulling British troops out of the Canal Zone.
