Fred Zusy may continue his
work in Egypt, revoking its
earlier decision to oust him. The
order was signed by Interior
Minister Fouad Serag Ell Din

No official explanation was
given in Cairo. The reinstatement
order followed a telephone call to
Serag FL Din from Egypt's Am
bassador in Washington, Kamil
Abdul Rahim Bey.
United States Ambassador JET
ferson Caffery had protested the
incident as a most unfortunate
consequence.
Cairo press reports had accused
Mr.. Zusy of bad faith" and of
sending pro-British dispatches.
In Washington, the Egyptian
Ambassador said the expulsion
order had nothing to do with
the news and reports" Mr.. Zusy
had been sending.
Instead, he said, Mr.. Zusy had
broken an Egyptian law requir-
ing films to be submitted to the
Ministry of Interior before being
sent abroad. He said Mr.. Zusy
took certain films and smuggled
them out of the Suez through
the medium of British families

Alexandra Will Annex
7.6 Square-MiIe Area
lin Fairfax Dec. 81

Alexandria expects to take over
its newly acquired rs square miles
from Fairfax County at midnight,
December 81, without much dif-
flculty.
City Manager w. Guy Ancelf
said residents Of the annexed ter.
ritory will start receiving trash
and garbage collection services
and police and fire protection as
soon as the transition takes effect.
The Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals. which yesterday upheld
Alexandria's annexation case. set
midnight, December 81, as the
effective time. It was Alexandria,
seventh successful annexation suit.
Although the newly acquired
territory has about the same area
as the present city limits, its popu-
lation is estimated at II 900 COM
pared to the city's $1,000.
| Annexation laws require Alex
andria to spend in the annexed
area about IL per cent Of the
assessed value Of the newly ac-
quired property. or to maintain
the same tax rate in the ter
ritory for five years. Mr. Anoell
said Alexandria contemplated the
former course. The first major
/ improvement proposed in the ter
ritory Is new 20-room ele-
mentary school.
In addition Alexandria must
pay Fairfax County $102,801 for
the Lee-Jackson School, which Is
the only existing school building
in the annexation area, and $751;
100 for a school site at the Shir-
ley-Duke Apartments which the
county had acquired. The court
required the city to assume about
100000 of an old county school
debt and $172, ,256 Of a sewer bond
DEBT.
| Mr.. Ancell said it will be nee
essary for the city to issue bonds
to build the new elementary
school and that it may be de-
sireable to issue enough bonds
to pay off all costs assessed by
the court.

Initial Steps Taken
To Set Up Security
Council for Pacific

A collective defense proposal
for the Middle East and first
steps in setting up a security
council for the Pacific were ad-
vanced today.
Prime Minister Adnam Men
deres of Turkey declared in an
interview that any Soviet thrust
into the Middle East would be
met by collective defense. He
added that his country's partici-
patton in the North Atlantic
Organization will not be changed
by the recent Russian protest.
Meanwhile. in New York, rep
reSentatives of the United States,
Australia and New Zealand met
to make initial arrangements for
Pacific Security Council. The
council. which may eventually
develop into a broader Pacific
defense organization, was pro-
vlded in the security treaty signed
here three months ago.
Initiative Up to Others.
At the time of the treaty sign
ing. American officials said the
council set-up will leave the way
open for the Philippines. Indonesia
and other countries, presumably
including Japan. to come in. 1t
was emphasized, however, that the
initiative will be left to other gov
ernmentS so Russia cannot harp
on its usual charge of imperial
list" purposes by the United States.
The three-way security treaty
envisioning the council pledges the
United States, Australia and New
Zealand to act to meet a common
danger if any of the three should
be attacked. Myron CoWen, United
States Ambassador to the Philip
pines. was designated by President
Truman to work with Australian
and New Zealand officials in ar
ranging for the council. Today's
scheduled meeting was a luncheon
Of the MISUNDERSTANDING Asso-
citation at India House in New
York City.
To Defend Collectively.
The interview given by Prime
Minister Menderes to the U. S.
News and World Report stressed
Turkeys determination "to be
strong" and to resist any attack.
He said this is the best way to
get along with Russia because the
Russians understand defense
strength and respect it,"
But" he declared. the ques-
ton of whether Turkey could de-
fend the Middle East alone can
not be considered. We are 60
ing to defend the Middle East
collectively"
Mr.. Menderes went on to say
that "the easiest way" to defend |
the Middle East would be through !
an organization taking in the
United States. Britain, France,
Turkey and other countries in the
Middle East area.
This would be a different
organization than the Atlantic |
pact" he said.

u. ). Makes Demand
For Release Of Flyers
Downed in Hungary

The United States today de-
manded that Communist Hungary
release four American flyers and
their unarmed Air Force cargo
plane which Soviet fighters forced
to land in Hungary.
The demand was made orally
at the Hungarian foreign Office
yesterday and repeated today by
George Abbott. charge d'affaires
of the American Legation in
Budapest, a State Department
spokesman said.
An Associated Press dispatch
from Budapest said a formal note
was presented later in the day.
Mr.. Abbott reported that Andor
Berei. the Hungarian undersecre-
tary for foreign affairs, replied
only that he would take the mat
ter up with his government i'm
mediately.
=
Mr.. Abbott also was told that
the American flyers are in Hun
|garian custody and are in good
health. But Hungarian officials
have refused to disclose where the
Americans are being held.
These diplomatic moves are the
stimmediate action promised yes
terday by the State Department to
try to free the American flyers
and plane.
Another protest may go later to
Russia directly. An appeal to the
United Nations was considered a
possibility.
Beyond such diplomatic moves,
just what this country can do to
prevent the Soviet backed Hun
garians from holding the men
as hostages is an unanswered
question.
