Close Ties With Moscow
Col. Nasser's bonds with the
Soviet Union have been ex-
Itremely close since late July,
when he seized the Universal
Suez Canal Co., the French re-
port. Since then, two to three
shiploads of Communist arms
including tanks and planes
have been reaching Egypt each
week, it is said.
Most of these arms, the French
report. still are in crates, prob
ably hidden in caves around the
pyramids and other places shell

Unexpectedly large quantities
found in the Sinai and Port
Said areas are only a small part
of what has come in, according
to those reports.

Presidents recent conclusion of

Mr.. Schorr said in the broad

"The Middle Eastern crisis has
taken a grave new turn tonight.

Egyptian Embassy here has re-
ceived orders from Cairo to ask
for the volunteers that Russia

quest is being relayed to the So

IF the Soviet statements of
recent days mean anything, the
request will be complied with.
Many things are still I'M
clear. How many will go? The
Egyptian Embassy says that it
has more than $4,000 applicants
on hand. Whether they would
take their own arms? And
whether heavy equipment such
as planes and tanks will be fur
nished to them from here?
But there's one indication.
A reserve lieutenant colonel was
quoted in the Soviet press today
as saying. I'm ready with

day for Key West, Fla, for two
weeks of convalescence.
United States officials sought
to determine whether BuIganin
held new hope of breaking the
long deadlock in disarmament
negotiations between East and
West and producing agreement
of some concrete steps for re-
versing the trend in armament
buildup.
1t was considered certain that
at an early stage of the study
the United States would consult
with Britain aid France and
eventually with all its NATO
allies on the meaning of the
Russian offer.
Initially officials here were
included to regard the declara-
ton as being in part a new So
Wet maneuver to divert attention
from Russia's troubles-the I'M
rest in the satellite countries of
Eastern Europe and particularly
the ruthless use of Soviet mill
tary power to crush the revolu-
ton against Communist rule in
Hungary.
United States Acting Slowly
But none would rule out the
possibility that at a time when
so much of the world is in tur-
MOL and Russia'S own collective
leadership is believed to be en-
gagged in bitter internal dispute
over high policy, the Moscow
government might have opened
the way for profitable re-exami-
nation of the disarmament issue.
At the same time, there was
no apparent tendency here to
rush into quick agreement on a
summit conference. Only a few
days ago President Eisenhower
turned down a bid from Switzer-
land for a meeting Of the Big
Four powers and India. He said
peace efforts we're now concen-
trated in the United Nations
which offered the best hope for
Ia solution Of current problems
The United States has been
backing the U. N. in efforts to
deal with both the Middle East
ern and Hungarian crises.
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
senior Republican member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said the Bulganin pro-
posals are obviously designed
as a propaganda stunt to d.
vert world attention away from
the massacres Of Hungarian
patriotS."
