her turn in the fight" The Brit
Iish and French claimed they
had knocked out Egypt's air
force in week-long bombings.
Contact With Eisenhower
Col Nasser said he had con-
tact with President Eisenhower
the day after Russia had warned
Britain and France Of possible
Soviet Intervention in the hos
tilities.
Il informed the American
President about Egypt's stand
and / asked him to explain
Americas position Col. Nasser
continued. Il understand that
the American President was OPP
posed to aggression and that
America was working to nullify
aggression and stop barbaric
acts"
In a speech Of almost two
lASNAo bhOddCdoS W bAlC LldblOu,
President Nasser said:
When the Anglo-French air
force started air raids with a big
number Of planes we faced two
possibilities: Should our air
force go up and fight or yield
airspace to the enemy?
I'VE felt it necessary to frus-
trate their aim. Our pilots we're
ordered to stay grounded despite
their protests. II we had en-
countered the British and French
we would have lost our pilots.
We put dummy planes on the air
fields and In this way we're able
TO save our air force"
! He conceded that military
materiel had been lost but said
the enemy claim that they "de-
stroyed our air force u non
sense"

Know Fighting Potential
One Pentagon officer, talking
about the prospect of outbreaks
i'm Communist-control East
Germany. Poland or Czechoslo.
Ivakia, commented that the Rus
SLAMS have reason to know bet
ter than anyone else the fighting
capabilities Of those people.
This, then, could be the CHIEF
reason for Soviet deployment Of
up to 10 divisions in the area Of
the Polish border and q score OF
more divisions in East Germany
he reasoned.
The United States has learned
also that Russia has been send
ing MIG jet fighters, other mill
tary equipment and advisers
into Syria. an Arab country bor-
dering Israel.
A Joint chiefs Of staff spokes-
man disclosed on Wednesday
that because of uncertainty
about the basis for Soviet troop
movements. the Russian talk
about Intervention in the Middle
East fighting and other mani
festations Of tension, United
States commanders have been
instructed to take certain pre-
cautionary steps.
One Of them was to call of a
routine training maneuver by
naval forces and instead assem-
BILE the big carriers. cruisers, de-
lstroyers and other warships al
lsea of the Virginia coast. The
Atlantic Fleet Command at Nor
folk. Va, was disclosed to have
ordered all combat ships and
units on a 24-hour alert basis
This could hardly be vie we'd by
Russia as anything but a pre-
Icautionary defensive measure.
Any sudden move of American
strategic bomber units, even
though intended only for routine
replacement Of units overseas
could cause grave alarm in Rus

Wednesday Israel would not yield
ANY Israeli or Israeli-occupied
territory to any foreign force,
whatever it was called.
Last night Israel's Foreign
Minister. MIS-. Coda Meir, mes
Isaged Mr.. Hammarskjold that
I"the government Of Israel will
willingly withdraw its forces
from Egypt Immediately upon the
conclusion Of satisfactory ar
arrangements with the United Ma
lions in connection with the
emergency International force"
Britain. and France agreed
earlier to turn their military po-
lsitions in the canal zone over to
the U. N. forces.
Egypt had agreed to accept the
General Assembly resolution set
ting up a U. N. command for the
Suez area. So far as could be
learned. however, no additional
word had been received from
Cairo on acceptance of the police
force itself.
VIII Accept Observers
! Mr.. Hammarskjold said he re-
garded Egyptian agreement to
1.-THE establishment Of the U. N.
command as acceptance of the
force. But as nations volun-
teered contributions. he asked
Egypt If each nationality was
acceptable.
Mai. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, chief
U. N. truce observer in Palestine
who now heads the projected
police force, arrived in Cairo and
said Egypt had agreed to accept
10 U. N. observers to watch over
the cease-flre. He said Egypt's
President Nasser was commu-
nicating with Mr.. Hammarskjold
about the details Of the police
force but that he did not know
the details Of Col. Nasser's
message.
Gen. Burns said U. N. forces
probably would land in the canal
zone but would move later to
the armistice lines which made
up the Israeli Egyptian frontier
before Israel invaded Egypt's
Sinai desert October 90. United
States Air Force planes were re-
ported standing by to move the
first elements Of the U. N. body
to the area.
Burns Due in U. S.
Gen. Burns repeatedly is sched-
uled to arrive in New York from
the Middle East tomorrow for
conferences on the u. N. force.
In a radio broadcast last night,
Mr.. Ben-Gurion said Israel would
withdraw its troops from Egypt
as soon as entry of a u. N. emer-
gency force is assured. He made

Command units that might be
misunderstood by the Kremlin.
In discussing the Russian
long-range force, which now
consists of medium and heavy
bombers by the hundreds, one
informed Pentagon officer said
today that so far as we know
they are not poised"
He hastened to add that the
United States didn't know a
Japanese carrier force was en-
route in 1941 until bombs hit
Pearl Harbor. But he made. it
plain that the devices of in
telligence now are somewhat
more reliable.
Reasons Not Disclosed
There apparently are reasons
which could not be disclosed for
believing that up to now the
Red Air Force has moved no
long-distance bombers up to
bases on the boundaries of the
Communist empire from which
they could take off for the
arsenals and air bases of
America.
The same assurance is not
possible for Europe. All West
.ern Europe. including England,
is within easy striking distance
Of medium and light bombers
from home bases deep within
Russia.
The Russian leaders, of course,
might try to invade Western
Europe--if they were so in
clined - without using atomic
weapons, thus inducing the
Western powers to abstain also
from nuclear explosives.
In Washington there is no
one who processes to speak for
the allies in Europe. But in
the arsenals of the United States
armed forces-which have wings
and fleets and divisions de-
ployed abroad to help defend
Western Europe-nuclear weap-
ons are now standard equip
ment.
If Amrican strategy makers
could learn the real reason for
the Russian troop movements,
their own planning would be
easier. They are giving full at

But the tall mustachioed gen.

Sof the line.
Gen. Stockwell said the Egyp-
Stians had brought up a brigade
Sof infantry and a tank regiment.
1t was peaceful day here in
Sthis battered city on the Medi-
sterranean end of the canal, but
no one seemed certain where we
go from here.
General Stockwell said he had
no word about any U. N. force
to take over or about the Israeli
situation.
Dead still Uttered parts of Port
Said, especially the outskirts.
Old women sat weeping quietly
beside the rubble and men poked
hopelessly with small shovels in
to heavy mounds Of stone and
debris.
Gen. Stockwell told newsmen
lthat youngsters had caused con-
siderable trouble during the
street fighting.
They armed these wretched
children Of IL and a." he said.
CommandoS who fought diff
#cult street battles in the Arab
part of Port Said told how men
and boys came dashing out with
new Russian sub-machine guns
and no knowledge of how to
fire them accurately. They
merely pressed the triggers and
most died under fire.
Water Cut OF
There was no water or elec-
trio supply and all shops were
still shattered.
A few of the more daring
can be seen kneeling at the
curbside, slipping water from
bursted water mains.
Port Said began to feel more
friendly. Most of the hostility
among the, Egyptians seemed
suddenly to ease.
Nobody, however, ventured
far out Of range of armed es-
corts.
British tanks carrying Egyp-
tian translators toured the
rubbed streets.

spondents at a special briefing
that the assault operation had
been planned ito test the op-
position here at Port Said, to
see If they shot at you and to
test the determination Of the
Egyptians to resist"
The plan was to drop in
British and French parachutists
to seize the bridges, airport and
water filtration plant.
I'VE had a very considerable
battle at the airport" he said.
Air-Sea BOmbardment
by the end Of the day, 1t was
apparent there was a lot Of de-
termination to hold on to Port
Said. Then we had decided what
our next step would be-"
That step called for air and
sea bombardment. but with the
least number Of shells possible, -
the general said.
Naval forces were ordered to
use nothing larger than de-
stroyer guns (4-to-5-inch shells)
The assault waves that hit the
beaches here totaled 1,4O0 men,
Gen. Stockwell said. And, for
what is probably q record sue
cess for a landing operation Of
this scope. they suffered only one
fatality.
But it was then that our
troubles started" Gen. Stock
well said. I'VE got mixed UP
with one Of those awful street
fighting forces"
Arranges Cease-Fire
When the commander Of the
Egyptian garrison was captured,
Gen. Stockwell himself rushed
ashore and attempted to arrange
"a quick cease-f1re to save Port
Said.
I'VE had a cease-fire for two
hours. from $3.50 pm. to 1880
p.m.," he said.
But the Egyptian garrison COM
mander later put in q call to
higher headquarters in Cairo
and Cairo turned it down." Gen.
Stockwell related.
Then fighting resumed.
Later, we captured the tele-
phone exchange so they could
not ring up Cairo" Gen. Stock
well said.
The new cease-fire order, he
said, came direct from London.
At one minute before 2 am. Cal
70 time Wednesday, fighting Of
flcially ended.
The biggest question mark,
however, was the regrouping of
an Egyptian tank force just 1--WE
miles below the cease-fire line.

MY answer was that we were

repulse Israeli aggression.
