Britain's Attitude Allays Council

Of Europe Fears

GASPERI WELCOMES

EDEN'S

SPEECH

Strasbourg, Sept. 16.

The "co-operative attitude" of Britain has allayed fears of a crisis in the Council of Europe, the Italian Prime Minister, Signor Alcide de Gasperi, told the 15-nation Council today.

The Italian Premier welcomed the speech by the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, last night as confirming "the British desire to collaborate in the work to which we have devoted ourselves."

He said Mr Eden's speech showed on the part of Britain "a direct and favourable interest in European unity developments and the desire to associate herself with it in a form compatible with her extra European tics."

The speeches by Mr Eden and Signor de Gasperi were seen here tonight as foreshadowing new strength for the Council of Europe as the result of the creation of such supra-national bodies as the Schuman Coal-Steel Assembly.

De Gasperi was inaugurating a two-day debate in the Council

TOP-TO-BOTTOM SHUFFLE

Cairo, Sept. 16. The Wafu Parliamentary group today ap proved proposals for far-reaching Party reorgani- sation the first top-to-bottom shuffle since the Wafd was established by the revolutionary Saad. Zagloul in 1918.

Reorganisation, demanded of all Parties by the strong-man Premier, Mohammed Naguib, came in the wake of dissolution of the Wafd's ten- member Executive Committee which met in Alexandria to follow through on General Naguib's order.

After it dissolved itself, Committeemen in the capacity of a founding body drew up a set of sug- gestions which the Parliamentary bloc ratified.
