Reacts To Attack On Queen

London, Aug. 4. European newspapers to- day (Sunday) gave pro- minent display to reports of Lord Altrincham's contro- versial article on Queen Elizabeth and the reaction It has caused in Britain.

Reuter correspondeutsTM r port:

COPENHAGEN: Most Dunkin Sunday newspapers carried re- ports of the attack but only the Conservative daily Dagyna Nyheder commented.

It said the remarkable thing about the attack was the re- flections on the "stiffness of tho English Court, ita function as a barrier between the Queen and the people and Ita insistence on a splendid isolation that Eliza- beth The Second has not been ablo or willing to break through."
