u. n. Suez Plan
Of s Principles
Won't Negotiate
With Britain and
France, Cairo Says

CAIRO, Dec. 26 (P).-An au-
thoritative Egyptian source said
today Egypt will no longer con-
slider negotiating a settlement of
the Suez Canal dispute with
Britain and France on the basis
of the six principles agreed upon
through United Nations media
ton.
One of these principles was
that the canal should be in
sulated from the political policies
of any one nation. The six
points were accepted by the U. N.
Security Council as a basis of
negotiations last October.
The informant said Egypt
would no longer accept them be-
cause of the British-French at
tack on Egypt. He said Egypt
will never negotiate with Britain
and France. and will discuss the
matter only with the United
Nations.
Earlier Had Agreed
The foreign ministers of Brit
ain, France and Egypt had noti-
fled the Security Council in New
York October II they had agreed
on the six principles. The Egyp-
tians said delegates of the three
nations were scheduled to meet
III Geneva October 29 for talks
aimed at settling the canal prob
lem. The six principles:
l. Open transit without dis
elimination.
2. Egypt's sovereignty shall be
respected.
3. Canal operation shall be
insulated from the politics of
any country.
4. Egypt and the users will
decide on fixing of tolls.
5. A fair proportion of the
revenue shall be allotted to the
canals development.
6. Persistent disputes between
Egypt and the old Suez Canal
Co., shall be settled by arbitra-
ton.
Attack Began on Farley Day
But the Israeli attack on
Egypt started on the day the
proposed three-power confer
ence was supposed to get under
way in Geneva. Two days later
British and French planes
opened q bombardment of
Egypt.
I'VE cannot forget what hap
pened." the Egyptian source said
I'VE cannot enter negotiations
with those who attacked us, par
ticularly since we have broken
all relations with those powers. y
Though a spokesman for
Egypt's Suez Canal authority
only last night reported Egypt
had raised a new obstacle to
speedy clearance of the canal
the Cairo informant said the
Egyptian government has reached
an agreement with U. N. Secre-
|tary General Dag Hammarskjold
to begin the clearance as a re-
suit of meetings between Foreign

Kartzke got on the bus after the
Cleveland stopover she told him

son told her to tell the driver.
Mr.. JamiSon said the driver had
Miss Kartzke bring her baggage
and come to the front of the bus
near him. then the driver went
to talk to the man.
Mrs. Udell Wintersoll of Chi
.cago said she heard the man say,
I'm getting off," and he grabbed
his bags.
At the front of the bus, the
man turned and fired at MI.
Almerico, then shot the girl.
Thought She Was Hysterical

screaming" said Mrs. Winter
soil, but we had no idea she was
shot. We thought she was being
