Pineau Confers

LONDON, Dec. 1 (R.-Britain
and France were reported today
to have reached full agreement
on their next steps in the Suez
Canal dispute. There was no
official disclosure of what these
steps would be. but there were
increasing signs the two allies
planned an early withdrawal of
their troops from Egypt.
Diplomatic officials said here
last night Britain had informed
Washington that most British
troops would quit Egypt by
Christmas.
French Foreign Minister Chris
tian Pineau. taking of early to-
day for Paris after a round of
high-level talks with British Of

don and Paris never intended to
pull their troops out of Egypt
without having some political
questions settled and without
having some military precautions

Mr.. Pineau said after his talks
with Acting Prime Minister But
Ter and Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd that I'VE put some ideas
onto paper. This will allow us
to take a common position for
the evacuation Of the canal"
He did not say what the COM

FuisuI Hats
Parliament

BAGHDAD. Iraq, Dec. (P).-
King Faisal II today suspended
Parliament for a month at the
request of Premier Nuri Said.
The action was taken shortly
after the newly convened Parlia-
ment was told by the King that
all Iraq is under martial law.
He said this was done to pro-
tect the army while it prepares
to take part with Jordan in the
common defense of Arab states. .
Suspe sion of Parliament
freezes political activity and
slaves off debate on the current
Middle East crisis. Premier Said
has obtained a breathing spell in
which to wait and hope for a
calmer Middle East atmosphere.
Parliament was opened this
morning with traditional pomp.
The royal decree suspending the
sessions came several hours
later.
Faisal acted at a moment
when Iraq is increasingly con-
cerned with activities of Syria.
Baghdad newspapers say Com
munist elements in the Syrian
capital are moving toward con-
troll. Damascus radio attacks on
the Iraqi government are be-
coming more and more violent.

1t was the second hint from

leased before long. President
Mao TIE tung was quoted by the
Italian weekly Tempo Revista
Tuesday as saying the long fruit
less negotiations with the United
States for release of the Ameri-
cans can be "favorably con-
cluded."
The Americans are charged
with spying or other crimes
against the Chinese Communist
government. They include five
Roman Catholic priests. a Luth-
eran missionary. two business
men and two Army civilian en-
ployes. The United States-China
talks that have dragged on in
Geneva since August /, 1855,
have resulted in the release of

Due tomorrow

Two American turncoats who
chose to live in Red China three
years ago after their capture
during the Korean war are ex-I

The British Red Cross said 1t
had received word that the pair
will arrive at Lowu. checkpoint
on this British colony's border
with Red China. The two are
Aaron Wilson, "A, of Urania, La.
and Arley Pate, 26, Of Carbon
dale. Ill.
British immigration authori-
tiles will tell them they are illegal
immigrants. This. a technical
matter, means only that they
will not be allowed to remain
long in Hong Kong.
Next, a representative of the
American consulate will question
them as to whether they possibly
forfeited their United States
citizenship by living in Red
China.
A consulate spokesman ex-
planned they may have forfeited
their citizenship by voting or
taking part in government activi-
ties during their stay in China.
The chances are, however, that
they will return to the United
States, he said.
The Red Cross arranged for
them to stay at a hotel in Kow-
loon on the mainland side of
this colony.
Their transportation to the
United States must be paid for
by their families unless they are
destitute. If they are unable to
pay, the consulate will lend them
the money.
Wilson and Pate were among
