Evelyn Shuckburgh, Deputy Minister of State in the Foreign Office and British Middle East policy adviser, was scheduled to report to Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden today on his talks in Washington last week with George V. Allen, Assistant Secretary of State, and other American Middle East policy makers. Mr. Shuckburgh returned from Washington yesterday and will sail with Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secretary Lloyd Wednesday when they leave for Washington to confer with President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.
Mr. Shuckburgh’s mission, official circles state, was to go over the ground to be covered at the top level parley and to arrive at those issues on which there is Anglo-American agreement and to outline the areas of disagreement. These same circles believe that there is no agreed plan on an Arab-Israel settlement. There is every indication that the British will propose that Israel be pressed for concessions as the best path to peace. However, official circles discount a report yesterday that an Anglo-American force to intervene in any possible Israel-Arab conflict will be suggested by Britain.
