a reminder Of that foray.
Although that incident happened
in 1941. the groundwork began four
years before, when British Col. Orde
Wingate arrived to train Jewish
fighters. Gen. Dayan joined the
first Of Col. Wingate's Special Night
Squads" Of commands.
His work impressed the British
officer, and he became second in
command. When Col. Wingate was
transferred and the night squads
disbanded. Gen. Dayan continued
to work with the Haganah, q loosely
knit independent fighting group.
The British frowned on the
Haganah and Gen. Dayan was tossed
into jail when he was found teach
ing q group Of junior Haganaf
commanders in 1889.
Coins Release
Two years later, the British were
ready to press into Syria. They
needed scouts who knew the terri
tory, and especially scouts who could
speak Arabic. Gen. Dayan was such
man. but he was in jail. The
British let him out.

Negotiations between Egypt and
the United Kingdom to settle the
Suez Canal fuss are again oScillating
between success and failure. Cairo
and London both saw agreement
around the corner last week, but it
took only four hours Of discussion
on Monday to infect the sitting with
a good dash Of suspicion, as usual.
Still. the chances are that this time
agreement viii be achieved and the
defense Of the Middle East can be
examined as normal problem.
The Suez question as it exists be-
tween Egypt and the United King
dom is bigger than control Of the
canal. The immediate problem is
evacuation Of some $4,000 British
troops from the Suez Canal Zone
base which presently consists Of 81
principal installations, camps and
supply depots, including 10 fully
equipped air force stations, the
whole representing an outlay OF 81
billion. according TO Egyptian
sources.
It is stated that the negotiations
at Cairo involve the withdrawal
from Egypt Of its two infantry divi-
sions and paratroop brigade, and
the retention at the base Of some
1000 technicians as maintenance
staff who would not wear military
uniforms. The base would be reacti-
waited by British troops in the event
OF an attack on members Of the
Arab League. Whether Egypt will
agree to reactivation of the great
base alongside the 104 miles Of the
Suez Canal in case Turkey and
Iran are attacked is up for debate.
The British proposals to this effect
were worked out in concert with the
United States, which is q friend to
both OF the negotiating parties.
