AS JUSTICE MEETS
HONESTY IN COURT

A Washington man who
wasn't satisfied with the
$100 reward he received for
finding and returning a
$3,250 diamond pin to its
owner, today had nothing.
After 212 hours delibera-
ton, a Municipal Court jury
decided the $500 offered to
Kirk A. Metzerott of 176l
Chestwood drive NV, was
ample compensation for
finding the pin. Mr.. Metze-
rott contended in a law suit
that the ample" reward
promised in a newspaper
advertisement by Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert T. Yeager of
1911 Fairview road, Silver
Spring. should have been 20
per cent of the pins value
or $3.50.
Mr.. Metzerott turned down
the 500 offered to him by

pany.

and saw him.

Meanwhile, the NPTA gave a

New Suez Talks
NaYStartSo
Nosser Aide Sees
Time as Next Week

CAIRO, Oct. II P).-Presi-
dent Nasser's chief political
aide said today exploratory dis
cussions with Britain and France
about a Suez settlement may
begin next week, probably in
Geneva.
Wing Comdr. Ali Sabry. ar
irving home from last week
United Nations Security Council
debate on the Suez issue, told
Egyptian newsmen the negotia-
tions would be based on the
six-point formula approved by
the Security Council.
Comdr. Sabry insisted that
Egypt will not accept inter-
national control" of the canal
that Egyptian President Nassel
took over on July 20.
British Prime Minister Eden
and French Premier Mollet. in
a Joint statement last night
asked Egypt again to put forth
a plan for operation of the
canal which would guarantee
its free international use AZ
effectively as the international
control demanded by Britain
and France.
To Stick to Demand
Until Egypt proposes such ar
alternative, Sir Anthony and Mr.
Mollet said, their government:
will stick to their demand foI
Iinternationalization.
There was no immediate off,
'ciaI reaction in Cairo to the
Eden Mollet statement.
Sir Anthony and British For
eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd flew
to the French capital unexpect-
eddy yesterday for an evening Of
urgent consultations on the Suez
dispute. Mr. Lloyd had just re-
turned from the U. N. Security
Council meeting in New York
lat which Russia vetoed the
British French request for Coun.
Gil Endorsement of their inter.
national control plan.
The six principles cited by
Comdr. Sabry, which the Coun'
Gil agreed any Suez settlement
must conform to. include unim'
Ipeded passage through the cana
for ships of all nations. and re-
spect for Egypt's sovereignty.
The British French meeting
was TO discuss Joint Suez polio!
in the light of the Securit!
Council decision. Sir Anthem!
said. He and Mr.. Lloyd fley
back to London today.
Confidence Vote Authorized
Premier Guy Mollet wa
authorized to stake the life Q
his Socialist-led cabinet in
National Assembly debate on hi
Suez Canal policy and othe
vital issues.
The decision to demand a vot
fof confidence was taken at
cabinet meeting presided over b
President Rene Coty. Defea
would mean resignation Of Nj
IMollet and his ministers. bu
that is not considered likely.
