sion to Egyptian President
Canal Abdel Nasser.
1t was understood that the
18-power decision for interna-
tional operation of the canal
would not be presented as de-
cision of the conference as a
whole.
Four other nations-Russia,
India, Indonesia and Ceylon-
favored an Indian plan for
Egyptian operation with some
international supervision and
advice.
The West plans to hand Col
Nasser a full report on the dis
cussions during the eight-day
closed parley--including the op-
posing Indian plan. This would
leave actual control of the wa
terway in Egypt's hands with an
international board set up only
to advise the Egyptians.
Ship Delay Threatened
Egypt'S reported threat to hold
up British and French ships
using the canal stunned confer
ence delegates. An official of the
nationalized canal board set up
by Col. NasSer was quoted as
threatening to delay the ships if
Frenchmen and Englishmen
working as canal pilots quit their
jobs.
The British and French cab
inets were called into special
sessions this morning to deal
with what appeared a new crisis
building up.
A British spokesman said the
Foreign Office took a grave"
view of the reported threat.
Other officials said the report
bore out the previous British
French contention that Col. Mas
ser would operate the canal to
advance his political aims.
An Egyptian Embassy spokes-
man declined to comment on a
report that the Russians had Of
fered to provide pilots for the
canal. The Soviet government
newspaper Izvestia. quoted by
Moscow radio, assured Egypt
that there were plenty of tech
nicians available in many
countries" to operate the Suez

tionalize the canal. The Big
