FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1953 Egyptian-Policy. Tightens. On British Suer: lone' • gia4;4,<4 J't CAIRO, Egypt, May 14 (A:))—Egypt tightened the economic screws today on British forces she wants to drive out of - the Suez Canal zone. New bitterness boiled up in the old dispute over control of the strategic East-West. Premier Mohamed Naguib's Cabinet applied trade restrictions which the Interior Ministry, announced would bar all commercial transactions with the British in the canal zone except by, special approval from the "appropriate authorities." The order requires special- per mission from the Egyptian Sup ply Ministry to sell the British Forces food, alcoholic beverages, building materials and other necessities. If no perniission is granted, Britain will be forced, once again—as she has during past flare-ups—to ship in from tong distances the fresh foods and other supplies usually pur chased from the Egyptians to keep. her 80,000 -strong canal zone garrison operating. Informants said the Cabinet de cided to install check posts along the roads leading into the canal, zone to enforce the new decisions,' viewed by Egyptian political cir cles as the start of a blockade against the British forces. A similar boycott was applied soon after Egypt's renunciation in. October, 1951, of the old - treaty permitting British troops to guard the canal. The renunciation and Britain's refusal .to pull out led to violence that cost the lives of 189 Egyptians, and 4 Britons in three months. That period of bloodshed ended in the Cairo fire riots of Jan. 15, which added be tween 50 and 60 to the death toll. Charges and counter-charges of the. last two days—following the breakdown last week of renewed A n g 1 o-Egyptian negotiations— have f ri ;ned fears that new vio lence y start. Reports of new outbreaks—still of a minor nature—have begun once again to punctuate the com parative calm that followed the Cairo fire riots. - Britain claims there have been 30 attacks by Egyptians since April 1, with two persons killed and two wounded on the British side. Egypt counters that British forces- have committeed 43 "ag gressions" in which eight Egyp tians have been killed and 17 wounded in the same period. McCarthy Answers. Attlee Talk WASHINGTON, May 14 (IF)— Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.) said in the Senate today that if the Brit ish want to pull out of the fight ing in Korea let them "withdraw and -be damned." , "Then I say let's sink every accursed ship •carrying materials that result in. the death of Ameri can boys," he cried.

"If the British are trying to blackmail us into accepting Com munist terms on the grounds that they will withdraw from Korea if we don't, then I say 'withdraw and be damned'," McCarthy said. "This nation has the guts, the strength" to go it alone in Korea if necessary, the senator added. McCarthy said Attlee delivered "one of the most insulting speech es ever made in the legislative body of a recipient nation against an ally which has been pouring out her economic life blood for practically every other nation on earth." "The American people are en titled. to an apology for this cheap, uncalled-for, fantastic attack Om the President and the people of the United States," he told the Senate. _ .

Soft-pedaled talk of a ser ious rift with Britain over Far East policy, declaring he does not believe it is as wide as it appears —despite a storm of congressional criticism directed at Attlee and Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. 3. Backed up the State Depart ment's dictum that any confer ence of big power leaders should await evidence of the sincerity of Moscow's 'peace gestures. Oil Spokesman Warns of Curb On Oil Imports WASHINGTON, May 14 (M A spokesman for Eastern oil and gas distributors w ar n e d today that a proposed curb on oil im ports probably would lead to gov ernment rationing. Harry B. Hilts, secretary of the Atlantic Coast Oil Conference of New York City, testified the im port curb also would bring higher prices on a wide variety of fuels. Hilts and about 2D other wit nesses spoke against a bill by Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R-Pa.) aimed generally at increasing protection for American indus tries, through tariffs - and import quotas. In addition to general protec tive provisions, the bill would limit oil imports to 10 per cent of domestic deinand. Opponents of the bill said this would reduce .residual oil im ports from 400,000 barrels daily to approximately 80,000 barrels. The effect, they insisted, would be to create an artificial short age, and force residual oil con sumers at "untold hardship" to try to shift to other fuels, spread ing shortages to other petroleum products. Charles 'A. Lockard, assistant secretary of the Empire State Pe troleum Association of New York City, charged the coal industry is seeking the oil import quota so their, competition would be "arti ficially throttled."
