London, Oct. 17.
My Harold Macmillan, Britain's Prime Minister, will fly to Washington next Tuesday for talks on world problems with President Eisenhower, it was announced here tonight. The meeting takes place as events in the Middle East are again becoming critical, with Russia alleging that Turkey is preparing to attack 'Syria, and Turkey and the West firmly denying this.
But Government quarters here were at pains tonight to emphasise that the Prime Minister's visit to Washington is not an emergency or
