 As giant planes landed troops in Britain's island outposts around Suez, two flying boats began fer rying British wives and children from the canal zone to Malta. They are dependents of British employees still in the zone.
 In Bonn, the West German government said Britain is with drawing some noncombat troops stationed in Germany and sending them home to strengthen the stra- tegic reserve. Presumably they will replace troops being ferried to the Mediterranean.
 The committee said Nasser's plan for a broadened conference on Suez was consistent with in ternational principles of justice" :" It said the offer represents sincere assurance from Egypt to all other countries of the world to secure navigation in the canal"

Britain Rejects
 Soviet Suggestions For Suez Talks

LONDON R-Britain Saturday rejected Soviet suggestions 9 more nations be brought into the Suez Canal conference and the barley be postponed from Aug. 16 to the last of the month.
 The Soviet Union Thursday ac- cepted, with a hedge of qualifica- tions, an invitation to the 24- nation conference. It proposed that Red China, other Communist states, several neutrals and all the Arab states from Morocco to Iraq be invited, that the opening date be delayed, and that the conference site be shifted to the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
 Moscow also declared the con- ference in London, as it is being set up by Britain, France and the United States, was not qualified to settle the future of Suez.
 Meanwhile, the Lebanese gov ernment said it had sent an ennis sary to Cairo with an offer from Iraq to mediate in the dispute.
 Iraq is a partner with Britain in the Middle East Baghdad De- fense Pact, but has taken sides with Egypt on its right to na- tionalize the Suez Canal.

ElectrOnic Guide. Developed for Snow Vehicles

WASHINGTON, R- Vehicles following storm-blanketed trails thru the arctic are going to have an electronic guide something like that used by airplanes following a 'Fbeam" thru the sky.
 The Army's Research and De- velopment Laboratories has an nounced a successful test on the Greenland ice cap of the electron- ic trail-marking equipment.
 It consists of two wires, buried in the snow or ice, each carrying an electric current. Receiving equipment in a snow vehicle, like the Army's weasel" pick up the electrical signals which show when the vehicle has wandered from the trail.
 Polar night, snow storms and white-outs (the latter being fog like condition caused by suspend ed ice crystals in the air) make travel difficult at the top of the world. The danger of straying from trail and plunging into a concealed crevass is particularly great in Greenland

 Beigin told news conference if Nasser "gets away with turning the Suez Canal into the Nasser Canal he will be ready for an all- out attack on Israel" He said Is rael should make alliances with any anti-Nasser power.

LONDON R-The Arab League of nine nations warned the West today an attack on Egypt in the Suez Canal crisis would be con- sidered aggression against all Arab states.
 The leagues political commit tee, meeting in Cairo, also pledged support for President Nasser's call Sunday for a 45-nation con- ference to write new guarantees for freedom of passage thru the canal.
 The committee, composed of foreign ministers of Arab states, has been in special session in Cai- TO drafting a policy on Suez.
 Members are Egypt, Iraq, Jor- dan, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Ara bia, the Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
 Western diplomats in London said Nasser's counter-proposal would complicate deliberations at the London conference. They said it might force the western big three to modify demands for in- ternational management of the canal.
 Nasser's proposal was counter to the 22-nation conference called by Britain that is opening in Lon don Thursday to consider interna-

Nasser Says He's Trying to Arouse Arab NatiOnaIisn

CAIRO, Egypt, R-Seeking to drum up support for his side in the Suez Canal crisis, Egyptian President Canal Abdel Nasser told Arab Trade Union leaders in Cairo Saturday his purpose was not only to take over the canal but also "to arouse Arab nation alism."
 "The canal crisis serves to prove Arab nationalism has re- vived," he declared.
 This appeared to underline the worst fears of British and French leaders-that Nasser seriously en- tertains ambitions outlined in a book he wrote: to unite the Arab world from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf.
 The executive committee of the Federation of Arab Trade Unions, which Nasser addressed, resolved to call on it's members to blow up all Western oil and military works in Arab countries if Egypt is attacked.

DR.. Rhine maintains, he and

vigorous in his reply. A few
years ago he himself was one
of the bitterest critics Of extra
sensory perception. He con-
Quoted rigidly controlled and
extensive experiments, expect

Atomic Opportunity

The Atomic Energy Commission has
made another good move in it's program
to encourage private enterprise to speed
up and enlarge its participation in the
development of nuclear power for peace
full purposes. The move is designed to
give various American companies the
opportunity of getting into the business
of building and operating plants for the
chemical processing of radioactive fuel
elements.
These elements are an integral part
Of every research and power reactor, and
they must be chemically treated in a
number of ways. After they have been
in use for certain period of time, for
example, they yield fission products that
must be processed either for reuse or for
safe disposal as radioactive wastes. Up
to- now all such operations have been
handled only by Government-owned
plants, but the incentives implicit in the
Aces new move should have the effect
of bringing private industries into the
field in fairly rapid order. At any rate,
the field promises to be a rewarding one
for qualified companies willing to venture
into it.
The reason for this is that our private
atomic power industry, as it grows con-
stantly bigger and bigger over the years,
will require the support of more and more
companies specializing in the processing
of nuclear fuel materials. In fact, such
specialization is bound to become large
economic enterprise in itself, and the
Acc has done well in acting to get 1t
started at this time.

Parapsychologists struck
back today with a little blood
in their eyes-especially DR..
S. G. Soal of the University
of London and DR.. ]. B. Rhine
of Duke University.
They are the major scientific
workers in the field of extra
sensory perception-in brief.
the ability Of certain especially
gifted persons to project and
receive thoughts over inter-
walls of space and time. This,
they claim, is demonstrated by
rigidly controlled experiments
on the ability to "guess" I'M
seen cards very much better
than can be accounted for by
chance.
Extrasensory perception was
first introduced by DR.. Rhine
about 20 years ago. There was
considerable general interest
for a few years, with strong
proponents and opponents.
Then interest of the general
public declined, and for a
decade parapsychologists have
been confined to small groups
in the United States and Eng
land. They have continued
their experiments.
Thought 1t Was Bunk"
Interest was revived a few
months ago when the Arneri-
can Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science pub
lished a long communication
from DR.. George r. Price of
the University of Minnesota.
DR.. Price, an eminent psychol-
ogist, indicated rather plainly
that he, himself, thought the
reports were bunk" At the
same time, he insisted, If
there actually was such a thing
as extrasensory perception, its
unquestionable demonstration
would constitute one of the
most important developments
OF all history-a method of
communication directly from
person to person without any
material medium whatsoever.
He indicated that the Govern
ment itself should spare no
expense to prove or disprove it.
The association published
DR.. Prices communication
with extreme caution after
first submitting the manuscript
to Drs. Rhine and Soal. Both
asked the right to reply. DR..
Prices major objection. in
brief, was that the results re-
ported could have been OBJ
tanned by fraud. This has
been the bugaboo Of all ex-
periments with the super

not, Of course. intimate that
Rhine or Soal were accessories
to fraud. 1t was quite possible,
however. that they had been
victimized.

were published by the associ-

Not a Single Harsh Word

One should be sympathetic If the
Democrats in Congress are wondering
what hit them. For, truly, they are in
a dilemma. They cannot be sure whether
the President, in his State-of-the- Union
message, was trying to smother them
with kind words, or whether he was trying
to overwhelm them with work. 1t could
be that he was doing both.
Mr. Eisenhower, who seems to get
great deal of mileage out of reputation
for political naivete, was using the soft
approach.
He began by noting that in the past
three years Congress and the Executive
have done much in building stronger,
better America" Please note that Con-
gress, a Democratic Congress, came first.
How can Democrat get mad at that
kind of Republican President? One
should also note the done much" quail
flcation in the Presidents sentence. The
inference Is that something remains to
be done. And the inference is correct.
1t took the President fourteen single
spaced pages to list the unfinished bust
ness. And at that he wasn't doing much
more than giving an outline-a host OF
special messages, he said, will be coming
up to the Capitol. in the next few days.
If the Democrats take on the preSiden-
tially-preScribed work load, the election
will be at hand before they have time
to come up for air, much less time for
partisan politicking. And If they don't
take 1t on, they will expose themselves
to the charge that they have let down
the President, and, even worse, the
people.
Those with a cynical turn of mind
may suspect that the President planned
it that way. And perhaps he did. Listen
to these honeyed presidential words:
Our country is at peace. Our security
posture commands respect A spiritual
vigor marks our national life. Our econ
omy approaching the $400-billion mark.
is at an unparalleled level of prosperity.
The national income is more widely and
fairly distributed than ever before The
number of Americans at work has reached
an all-time high AS a people, we are
achieving ever higher standards Of living
earning more. producing more. consuming
more, building more and investing more
than ever before. :. If we of the executive
and legislative branches. address our
selves to the unfinished business of the year
before us-and to the unfinished business
of last year-with resolution, the outlook is
bright with promise.
There you have it, A message Of
some 5000 words and not a harsh word
in the lot. What will the Democrats do?
will they say nasty things about this
President who insists on being so nice to
them? Will they kick over the apple
cart in a fit of election-year fever, and
thereby seem to blight that outlook
bright with promise? Maybe So But
Dwight D. Eisenhower certainly is not
making it easy for them.
