Angry Attacks On Bevin

Warsaw, June 22.

Angry, outspoken attacks on the British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin, were made today by two Polish newspapers. Both showed strong suspicion of Mr. Bevin's endeavours to induce European countries to avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the aid to Europe plan | put forward by the United States Secretary of State, Mr. George C. Marshall.

The new attack on Mr. Bevin, after a period of quiet. created considerable surprise in diplomatic quarters and was taken as a pre- lude to refusal to cooperate on the plan by at least that section of Polish political opinion that aims for unreserved cooperation with the Soviet Union, even at the cost of declining much needed economic aid.

ANTI-TERRORIST "COLUMN"?

Jerusalem, June 23.

It was disclosed here on Sunday that a group of about 36 army officers, former parachutists, Commandos and underground movement specialists, have been operating their own "column" in a war of their own tactics against Jewish terrorists.

It is also reported that a major purge of the police

administration in Palestine is to take place.- One high officer has said that he has already "been sacked."

Washington, June 22. Henry Wallace, former United States Vice- President, today criticised Mr. Ernest Bevin, British Foreign Secretary, for the "tone" of his remarks on Russia during the House of Commons debate last Thursday, declaring that. "unless his attitude is repudiated promptly, the effect could be disastrous."

Mr. Wallace, who was winding up his recent cam-
