| anmarskioId Trying
To Avert Suez Fight
Seeks More
Talks, Not
Showdown

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Oct.
4 R.-Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold is reported using
his full influence to avert a
showdown Security Council fight
which might shut the door to
further United Nations peace
efforts in the Suez dispute.
Informed quarters said this
was the main theme in the series
of private talks Mr.. HAM
marskjold is having with high
ranking displomatS assembling
here for the Suez debate begin
ming in the Security Council
tomorrow.
The secretary general was
understood to have found sub
Istantial support, but Britain and
France said they were deter
mined to push their demands for
"a U. N. endorsement of the plan
for international control of the
canal approved by the London
Conference in mid-August.
Mr.. Hammarskjold and his
supporters feared that the pos
Sibility of future U. N. helpful
ness might be eliminated if this
plan were rejected either by a
Soviet veto or through failure to
get the necessary z votes in the
11-nation Council.
Negotiating Group Sought
Mr.. Hammarskjold is trying to
enlist support for formation of
some kind Of negotiating COM
mittee to keep the discussions
alive without placing the U. N.
behind either side in the dispute.
The form of the negotiating
group and the sponsorship still
were under discussion.
One of those backing this idea
is ranian Delegate Djalal Abdo!l.
Diplomatic observers said the
United States is interested in this
plan, but the United States dele
CATION so far has not come out
for 1t publicly.
Pending the arrival of Secre-
ltary Of State Dulles for tomor.
rows meeting, United States
delegate Henry Cabot Lodge, ir..
has been keeping in close con-
tact with British and French
Representatives. British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd said yes
terday he hoped the United
States would support the British
French proposal. but informed
sources indicated the United
States was extremely cool to-
ward it.
Yugoslav Foreign Minister
Koca Popovic has been active in
the compromise talks. Peruvian
Delegate Victor Andres Belaunde
also was reported favoring a
~. N. = sponsored negotiating
group.
Mr.. Hammarskjold has had
long talks with Soviet Foreign
Minister Dmitri Shepilov. Egyp-
tan Foreign Minister Mahmoud
Fawzi, Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Lodge,
French Delegate Bernard Cor
nut-Gentile and other Council
members.
The delegates mostly have had
little to say about their plans.
After his talk with Mr.. HAM
marskjold late yesterday Mr..
Shepilov chatted with newsmen
but sidcstepped all questions
about the Soviet position in the
dispute. However, the Soviet
press has backed Egypt COM
ipletely and at the first London
Conference on the Suez MIR.
Shepilov refused TO indorse the
plan for international control
Of the waterway.
Mr. Fswzi also declined TO
disclose his plans. He merely
said that he wants TO be helpful
to the Council and Ito build up
things and not tear them down :"

Bible Study Cited
BY Confruternity

The Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine has given great impetus
to Bible study and discussion
among Catholics, the general
session of the Confraternity's
tenth annual congress was told
last night.
DR.. Frederick j. Carpenter,
Pittsfield (Mass0 physician and
Catholic leader, said that much
of the organizations religious
discussion and club activity
stems from study of Holy
Scripture because the Catholic
Church from the earliest CEN
turtles has constantly encouraged
frequent Bible reading and
study"
He pointed out that it was
the church which collected the
70 different books of the Old
and New Testaments. gave the
Bible to the world and preserved
it for the first Is centuries after
Christ.
The Right Rev. Bryan j. Nc
Entegart, rector of Catholic
University, presided on the meet
ing. More than 1000 delegates
from the District and six States
have attended the congress,
which closes today with a pom
tifical mass celebrated by The
Most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle,
Archbishop of Washington, at
