MOSCOW, Nov. 7.-Soviet De-
Tense Minister Georgi Zhukov
called on the United Nations
today to end the armed ag-
gression" of Britain. France and
Israel against Egypt and offered
Russian troops to help do the
job.
Marshal Zhukov addressed the
gigantic Red square celebration
of the Bolshevik revolutions
seth anniversary.
Diplomats of the United States,
Britain, France and all other
members of the Atlantic alliance
except Iceland and Denmark
stayed away in protest against
the Soviet intervention in Hun
gary. Asian and African diplo-
mats we're solidly in attendance.
Several hundred thousand
civilians shouted glory to the
Soviet Union" as they marched
almost endlessly through Red
Square.
Air Show Omitted.
The usual flypast Of jet
bornbers and fighters was
omitted. presumably because Of
a low overcast. The 21-minute
procession of Soviet Army units
through the square showed no
new military equipment. There
was the usual display Of mo-
torized guns, troop carriers,
armohed cars, rocket launchers
and heavy antiaircraft cannon.
Civilian marchers carried BAN
pers demanding "hands off
Egypt and ''out of Egypt, i'm
perialist aggressors." Other
banners praised the Hungarian
workers for defeating fascism.
Marshal Zhukov said:
"The Soviet Union calls upon
the United Nations resolutely to-
stop the armed aggression of
Britain, France and Israel
against Egypt and actively to
support the Arab peoples in their
struggle for freedom and indie
pendence.
"As regards the Soviet Union,
she is prepared, in accordance
with a U. N decision. to take a
real part with her armed forces
in the liquidation of this agrees
sion."
May Take Plan to U. N.
The u. N. Security Council on
Monday refused to take up a
Soviet proposal that the Council
order. Russian and United States
forces to go into Egypt to stop
the British, French and Israelis.
The United States termed the
proposal "unthinkable. But it
has been expected that the Rus
slams might carry such a proposal
or a similar one to the U. N Gen.
eral Assembly, now meeting in
New York in emergency session
OH the Middle Eastern crisis.
The Security Council rejected
the Soviet proposal by refusing
to put it on its agenda. Had it
been put on the agenda and
reached a vote, the vetoes of the
United States, Britain OF France
would have killed it. But the
big-power veto does not apply
ir the Assembly, where only a
two-thirds vote of all members
present and voting is required
for adoption of a proposal.
1t appeared unlikely, however,
that the Russians could music,
a two-thirds backing in the As
sembly. An Indian government
spokesman in New Delhi said to-
day Prime Minister Nehru. kew
leader of the powerful Asian
African bloc, was sending Soviet
Premier Bulganin an appeal not
to intervene in the Middle East
with force.
Mr.. Nehru's message was &C.
casioned by notes from Marshal
Bulganin to British Prime Min
lister Eden and French Premier
Mollet implying that Russia
might use force to crush the
British-French action in Egypt.
But Marshal Zhukov'S statement
seemed to rule out any official
unilateral intervention by the
Soviets.
May Send volunteers"
There has been widespread
speculation, however, that the
Soviets might send volunteer
forces to Egypt, Just as Com
munist China poured "volun-
teers" into the Korean war.
Marshal Zhukov spoke some
IL hours after Sir Anthony an
nounced that Britain and France
had ordered their troops in
Egypt to cease firing unless at
tackled.
Marshal Zhukov also defended
RusSia's military intervention in
the Hungarian rebellion and de-
clared reaction and fascism
had been put down in that coun-
try. He described the revolt in
Hungary as actions of the
counter revolutionary forces
aimed at liquidation Of the pop
ular democratic regime and the
restoration of fascism in that
country"
