u. ). SEXES 5 Planes
Believed Egypt-Bound
by the Associated Press

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE
Federal Government yesterday seized
a cargo Of five Grated military planes
which it listed as an illegal arms
shipment believed bound for Egypt.
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger NJ. Yancey said the declara-
ton on the planes showed them
bound for "Djibuti. Abyssinfa, but
that the Government believed they
would be diverted to Egypt without
State Department authorization.
Djibouti actually is the capital of
French Somaliland and not irr Abys-
sinia as listed in the shipping dec
laration.
Mr.. Yancy said the five planes,
valued by the Army at a total of
$3.50 900, were taken on the dock at
Port Newark. Customs officials pre-
vented the loading of the planes
aboard the Egyptian passenger ship
the Mohammed Ali El Kabir just
before it sailed last week, Mr.. YAM
cey said
The seizure was completed in Fed
eral Court yesterday on an order
from Judge Thomas F. Meaney
which granted the Government GUS
tody of the five planes until an
owner can establish legal claim and
show the seizure to be unjustifed.
United States Attorney Alfred E.
Modarelli said the State Depart
ment reported the planes were listed
as owned by John A. Romano of
New York. Mr.. Romano's declara-
ton valued the planes at a total OF
$4,000.
The State Department, Mr.. Mo-
darelli said, granted an export Ii
cense for one plane, but became
suspicious when Mr.. Romano re-
quested authorization to ship four
other planes.
