He began hiking, sinking time

All night he floundered through
the drifts until he spotted a
cabin in the woods, about 4 miles
south of the place where he had
LANDED.
MY legs ached, my feet were
numb, and I was hungry" he
recalled.
Inside the cabin he found
matches and built a fire. He
found some cocoa. the only food
in the place, and melted snow
to make himself a drink,
Warmed and strengthened, he
thought of getting out of the
woods-encouraged by the dis
tant roar Of trucks winding
through the steep Snoqualmie

dier is convinced that he .
tougher and better led than HIS
adversary. He has also q far
clearer idea Of why he Is called
on to fight. Unlike the Arabs
facing him. the Israeli has been
firmly impressed with the idea
that the alternative to victory in
any war with the Arabs is ma
Itional anihilation.
Superiority at Any Costs K
Superior weight of weapons =
Egypt's answer to this situation.
1t is now clear that Col. Nasser
has made a firm decision ID
achieve and maintain material
superiority over the Israel army
at any and all cost. And it Is
equally clear that the commu-
nists, for reasons of their own.
are more than willing to help
him to it.
There are no reliable figures
so far on the types and quantt-
titles of military equipment in
volved in the deal between Egypt
and Czechosloyakia. Such figures
as there are were based on a pre-
|liminary report sent to the State
Department from the American
Embassy here. They must be con-
sidered highly speculative. More
recent estimates from the en-
bassy are known to have varied
up to 100 per cent from the
earlier figures.
Not unnaturally, the Egyptian
government is treating the mat
ter as a closely-kept military
secret. Beyond this, there is at
least some indication that the
Egyptians themselves are not
sure exactly what they will re-
ceive, since the agreement ap-
pears to be an open-ended deal,
with deliveries varying in accord
ance with Egypt's needs as time
goes on.
There can be no doubt. howl
ever, that the figures are impress
sive. The original American esti-
mates included 200 MIG-15 jet
fighters, an unknown number of
'I1-28 jet bombers, 100 Joseph
Stain tanks, six submarines and
a large quantity" Of artillery.
Buildup Dramatized
Such an increase in strength
would give the Egyptian army
more tanks than were committed
by the British at the battle Of
FL Alamein during World War
II. 1t would give them more
hrst-class lets than the United
States ever had in action In
Korea.
The effect. Of course, will not
be felt Immediately. Military
experts estimate that 1t will take
at least 10 months - perhaps
much longer-for the Egyptians
to organize their new armament
Iwindfall into an effective fight
ing force. New units will have
to be created from scratch and
Ihighly-skilled personnel to man
the new weapons will have to be
trained. Meantime, Egypt is
likely to suffer from what one
allied observer here describes as
Ia bad case Of military indiges-
ton.
In the end. however, it seems
likely that Col. Nasser will have
at his disposal a force which will
considerably exceed Egypt's pres
ent defensive organization "a
prospect almost as SOLDERING to
|Egypt's friends as to her enemies.

Helicopter Crashes, Burns
Taking Off From 18th
Floor of NY. Building

NEW YORK, PA helicopter
crashed and burst into flames
wednesday while taking off from
tne 18th floor heliport Of the Port
Of New York Authority building
IN downtown Manhattan.
The pilot and the only passen-
ger were injured as they tumbled
out Of the burning craft seconds
after it crashed on the 18th floor.
Port Authority officials said the
pilot apparently forgot to unplug
a 3O-foot booster, cable, often
used to energize the starter. AS
the craft rose from the heliport,
the cable became taut and jerked
the machine down over the side
Of the building.
Debris from the shattered hell
copter and burning gasoline show
cred the traffic-jammed street be-
low, but there were no injuries
there.
Port Authority employees and
firemen quickly quenched the
smoldering skeleton Of the craft
as it hung precariously on the
narrow ledge above 9th Avenue
near 18th St.

tant secretary.

Mrs. Hobby resigned the cabi-
net post because of the illness Of
her husband

House Votes for Overhaul
Of Government Payments
To Servicemen's Survivors

WASHINGTON, R-The House
voted Wednesday for a broad
overhaul of government payments
to the survivors of servicemen.
Passage by voice vote sent the
measure to the Senate where it is
uncertain whether the complicat-
ed proposal can be acted on be-
fore the sessions end. President
Eisenhower has said he wants it
to become law as soon as possible.
The bill would do away with
the present $4,000 free insurance
for men in uniform, put all SER
vicemen under social security, and
provide more liberal Veterans
Administration compensation pay
mentS to their surviving widows,
dependent children and parents.
It is aimed at making more fair
and simple the present hodge
podge of government payment
systems and at providing greater
incentive for a career military
service.

khrushchev, Zhukov and Bulganin
10 Attend Big Four Talks July 10

MOSCOW, tR-Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin told reporters
last night at French Embassy
Bastille Day party that the make
up Of the Soviet delegation for
Geneva-which includes Commu-
mist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev
and Defense Chief Georgi Zhukov
as well as himSelf-meanS 'that
this will be a parley at the very
summit
Answering questions from AS
ISOLATED Press reporter Richard
Kasischke and US. Charge DAT
fairs Walter Walmsley, the Soviet
Premier said:
"The composition of our dele
cation is the very summit"
The goateed Soviet Premier
added: For instance, how could
we discuss disarmament at Gene
va unless Defense Minister Zhu-
kov came along?"
The Soviet government yester-
day announced that Foreign Min
lister V. M. Molotov and First Dep
uty Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko would round out the five
man Russian delegation.
The meeting thus will provide
the occasion for the much talked
of reunion of President Eisenhow-
er and Marshal Zhukov, who
were on good terms while both
were military administrators in
Germany after World War H. Els
enhower visited Moscow during
that period and the two "old mill
tary friends" as Zhukov de-
scribed them recently, exchanged
personal letters some months ago.
Zhukov will be making his first
trip beyond the Iron Curtain as a
member of a top-level diplomatic
delegation. Observers here viewed
his inclusion in the group as evil
dence of the increased importance
Of the Red army in the present
Russian regime.
KhruShchev is not a member of
the Soviet Council Of Ministers
but the dominant role he has
played as secretary of the Soviet
Communist Party has made clear
he is one Of his nations most
powerful leaders.
Khrushchev, rather than Bull
ganin, led the Soviet "peacemak-
ing" delegation to visit Yugoslav
President Tito in Belgrade last
month.

Broom Found No Good
For Dealing With Bear

LA VETA, Colo, pa summer
resident at Cucharas Camps,
southwest of here, found that a
broom is a poor substitute for a
gun when it comes to dealing with
a bear.
Mamie Burns said she stepped
from her cabin Wednesday to find
young bear just outside the
door. Miss Burns seized a broom
to protect herself. The bear, in
stead Of heading for the woods,
charged her.
She dropped the broom and
grabbed a % caliber rifle. Her
first two shots missed but the
third-the last left in the weapon
killed the bear.
