Labor Backs Churchill on Suez Troop Withdrawal
In London the Labor Party lines up behind the Churchill government's plan to pull 83,000 British troops from the Suez canal zone. Leader Clement Attlee says the evacuation is supported and would have kept the government in power despite 40 Conservative rebels. War Minister Anthony Head defends the decision, noting the H bomb and thermonuclear arms limit large-scale Middle East campaigns and that freed troops will bolster a British strategic reserve at home. Churchill's slim Commons margin forces reliance on Socialist support.
