Well informed Egyptian sources
today confirmed London reports
that Egyptian army officers and
noncoms are being trained in
Communist Poland.
The Cairo government itself
remained silent on the reports.
There was no official comment
in the press, although the capi-

agencies.
Reports from outside Egypt
have said some 200 Egyptians

Polish government had nothing

The mole division of the

The tunnel, which is as much

one point, is part of the monster

TifIis j. Rector
Denies Trouble

MOSCOW. Mar. "a (P.-The
rector of Tif1is University said
today that everything was nor
mai in the capital of the Geor-
gian Republic.
Rector E. Kupraze spoke to
the Associated Press in Moscow
by telephone. 1t was the first
call the Associated Press has
been able to get through to
Tif1is since the Kremlin began
debating Stain, who was born
in Georgia.
There had been unconfirmed
reports in Moscow of seething
unrest and new student out
bursts in Tiflis.
But Rector Kupraze said the
Georgian capital was quiet. He
laughed off reports of a student
strike.
Reports No Interruptions
II just returned from a two
hour lecture" he said Every
thing is normal here and has
been. There has been no inter-
Eruption of classes. The only
thing which occurred was when
with the governments permis-
sion the students took a half day
off March 9 to commemorate the
anniversary of the death of
Josef Stain"
There had been reports that
on March 9 students got out of
hand during a parade with plac-
ards of Lenin and Stain.
Outside of this last day off,
we have not missed one hour of
classes" Rector Kupraze said.
"And everything is completely
normal here. We are going on
with our work as usual"
(The New York Times said
students were on strike at the
university in protest against
the kremlin's anti-Stalin cam
paign and that the university
had been closed down.
Party Leaders Meet
Rector Kupraze, stressing that
all was normal in Tiflis, said:
Come and see for yourself.
We would be delighted to have
you"
But it was learned in Moscow
that the Central Committee of
the Georgian Communist Party
has been in session to discuss
Moscow's downgrading Stain
and how best to handle the emo
Itional shock which denunciation
OF Stain has caused in Georgia.
Attempts to reach the deputy
representative of the Republic
of Georgia in Moscow were I'M
.availing. His secretary told visi-
tors that the representative, L.
y. Tokhadze. had been called to
the Kremlin for a conference on
Georgia.

frank. He talked freely about
Stains rule of terror. He ad-

men. But it's believed Marshal

camp,

will be a triumphal trip for one
of the few Communist leaders
who ever defied Stain and
lived. e
Marshal Tito is the man who
only little more than three years
ago was being pictured in car
toons in the Soviet press as a
dog and an executioner in a
Gestapo uniform. When he
reaches Moscow this year he un-
doubtedly will be greeted with
bouquets and admiring throngs
like those honoring Prime Min
lister Nehru of India last
summer.
The Communist Party news
paper Pravda now uses a re-
spectful "Comrade Tito" when
it discusses events IN Yugoslavia.
The "Comrade" no doubt reads
the phrase with considerable
satisfaction.
The rapproachment between
Marshall Tito and the Kremlin
began soon after Stains death.
At first it moved slowly. Diplo-
matte relations were normalized.
the Soviet press dropped its
anti-Tito campaign. In private
conversations in Moscow, Khru-
shchev admitted to the Yugo-
slav ambassador that the fault
for the break had been the Soviet
Unions.
Heated Exchange
In early 1855 there was a
heated exchange, however: It
was caused by v. M. Molotov's
speech at the Supreme Soviet
in which he attempted to picture
the improvement in Soyiet-Yugo-
slav relations as the result of
Yugoslav repentance for past
sins. Tito attacked Molotov for
his statement. The Russians
replied in effort by repudiating
Mr.. Molotov.
This set the stage for the trip
of Nikita Khrushchev and No
kolai Bulganin to Belgrade. The
initiative came from the Soviet
side-and Tito accepted the pro-
posal.
When Mr.. Khrushchev arrived
in Belgrade he made an airport
statement taking the blame on
the Soviet Union for the diff
culties between the two coun-
tries. He said however, it was
the fault of the executed police
chiefs, Lavrenty Beria and Vic
tor Abakumov. Marshall Tito
listened in silence.
Sought Reputation
AS the meeting proceeded
things got friendlier. Marshal
Tito, according to reliable sources,
expressed himself frankly to
Mr.. Khrushchev. He criticized
the things which vent on in the

Legal TongIe Held Likely
On Sunken Italian Liner

NEW YORK. July 26 (R.-
The 500 million Andrea Doria,
now at the bottom Of the At
lantic of Nantucket, is still the
property of the Italian Lines,
admiralty lawyers said today.
Maritime law, however, is so
complicated and so different
from civil law that what can
happen to the luxury ship and
any possible claims against it
are shrouded in a legal fog as
dense as was the mist last night
when the Andrea Doria collided
with the Stockholm.
Generally speaking when a
vessel is abandoned at sea and
sinks it is still the property OF
the owners" said one admiralty
lawyer. But there are all kinds
Of abandonment"
IN the opinion Of this legal ex-
pert. the suits that will result
from the collision will probably
run into millions Of dollars. They
could be brought in European
courts or in Federal District
Court in New York-since many
of the passengers are citizens, OF
the United States.
AS an example Of the differ
ence between civil law and adj
miralty law, it was pointed out
that in a collision Of two auto
mobiles, contributory negligence
is a defense. In other words, II
