London, June 13.

The Minister of State, Hector McNeil, expressed surprise and regret at Soviet Foreign Minister V. Molotov's sharp rebuff of Britain's mild in- tercession in the Hungarian coup, but avoided a direct answer as to whether London would now back an appeal to the United Nations.

KNIGHTHOOD A PRECEDENT

London, June 13.

The invisible door carring divorced persons from the official aristocracy was opened with the award of a knighthood to actor Laurence Oll- vier in the Birthday Honours list. Until now, the title "Sir" has been bestowed rarely on men who have been through the divorce courts and almost never when the distinguish- ed man and his wife both have been divorced, as is the case with Olivier and his present wife, actress Vivien Leigh.
