Israel thus chose to interpret
Mr.. Eisenhower,s remarks in a
way more favorable to Israels
hopes Of getting American
weapons.
Mr.. Eisenhower took a careful
t'yes-and-no" attitude toward
Israers desire for arms: yes

what he regarded as the syrnpa-

Israel.
DR.. Hussein said Egypt agreed
to barter cotton and rice for
Communist arms only after
Egypt failed to get equipment
from the United States. He said
Egypt still was trying to get the
international Bank here to
finance construction Of d gigan-
tic dam across the Nile River
a project which Russia already
has offered to carry out under

Mr.. Dulles and British Foreign
Minister Harold @. Macmillan
conferred in Geneva yesterday
on ways Of raising $500 million
for the dam, which would pro-
vide hydroelectric power and
water for irrigation.
Mr.. Dulles obviously hoped to
get Western money for the prof.

Egypt in another diplomatic
triumph for communism.
