Lake ol the Omici Hurls Challenge Lloyd Says British Action Stopped War CONDON Eden government challenged its Laborite opposition today to dispute that British action in the Middle East a from spreading PRICE FIVE CENTS The Measure of a Missouri Colonel there. The eign challenge, voiced by For- Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, drew a quick rejoinder from An-, eurin Sevan, the Labor party's foreign policy spokesman. "On the contrary, the government connived at the war," Bevan declared. The clash came in the midst of a House of Commons debate in which the future of Prime Minister government was at stake. The Labor opposition is demanding his downfall.

Even some in Eden's Conservative party are opposing him because of his policy in the Suez crisis. Soviet Moves Revealed Lloyd argued that because the invasion "the magnitude of of the Soviet penetration of Egypt has been revealed." Lloyd denied that Britain collaborated with Israel in the invasion but admitted "i Us true that we were well aware of the possibility of trouble." Turning othe U. S. position, Lloyd said: "I hope the United States will pass on from membership of the economic committee to full membership of the Baghdad Pact." The alliance of states along the northern tier of the Middle East binds Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Britain. It was formed last year originally at the suggestion of U.

S. Secretary of State Dulles. Limited Support The United States has limited its support of the Pact to economic and political measures. Lloyd touched briefly on the tenseness in relations with the United States. 'I do not think that acute differences of opinion necessarily make it more difficult to associate together in the future," he said.

Meanwhile, Britons faced up with a shudder today to the bill for the invasion of Egypt. The country's morale was hit squarely by fears of mounting inflation, unemployment wage strikes, higher taxes and crippling fuel shortages. Another bitter pill to many was the thought that the nation had once moreg one begging for help from the United States, widely blamed here for Britain's empty- handed withdrawal from the Suez Canal Zone. National Contest Is Open for Yule Winner The Jefferson City winner in the residential division of the Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored Christmas lighting contest will be entered in a nation-wide competition, it was announced today by Christmas lighting chairman Joe Maire. Prizes in the national contest, Maire said, are S500 for first place, S250 for second.

S250 for third, with four fourth place winners deceiving S125 each. Five fifth place winners will get S100 each, and S50 each will go to 10 sixth place winners. National winners will be selected by a judging panel chosen by the General Electric Co. They will be prominent and well qualified figures in their respective fields, Maire said.

Hammarskjold Plans Trip Soon Assembly Adopts Resolution On Observers in Hungary UNITED NATIONS, N.

Y. word that Dag Ham- marskjold plans to go to Budapest in 10 days, the U.N. Assembly early today adopted a U.S.- sponsored resolution calling again on Hungary to let in other U.N. observers to investigate conditions generally in the revolt-torn country. The resolution, approved 51-10, asked Hungary and the Soviet Union to give the observers the green light by Dec.

7. The two Communist governments for the past month had steadfastly refused even to consider admission of a U. team for anything other than distribution of relief supplies. The Assembly voted at a special session, lasting beyond midnight, at which the U. N.

secretary general announced he hoped to arrive in Budapest Dec. 16 for a three-day visit. He proposed the trip three weeks ago to help set up distribution of U. N. relief.

To Leave Sunday Hammarskjold said he had arranged for U. N. Undersecretary Philippe dc Seynes, a Frenchman, to leave Sunday for Budapest to complete arrangements for his own visit and to remain there with him. Final acceptance of Hammarsk- jolri's plans was awaited from Hungary's pro Moscow government. Hungarian Foreign Secretary Imrc Horvath, after conferring with the secretary general last night, said he had not yet received clearance Budapest.

Informed sources said, however, approval appeared certain.

To date about 20 per cent of the county's taxes have been collected Last year at the corresponding time at least one fourth of the taxes had been collected. The problem this year, Kocster naid, is that the total collection for 195(1 is 81,212.000 while the total for last year was "It all comes to a big, heavy month of collections in December It would help a lot if people tried to pay their county taxes before the last comes along.

That will even out the work. But I still expect December to be a heavy month," Koc.st.er staled. He attributed the slack in collections this year to the readjustments madf: in county valuations and further readjustments in school levies.

Both of Ireland's arms were bro- en, and he suffered possible in- ernal injuries. Mrs. Harvey Tucker, whose husband owns the farm, also was hospitalized at Butler, nit she was not believed to have Deen hurt seriously. Tucker wasn't the house when the storm hit. A neighbor of the Tuckers, Mrs.
