Nosser Reported Pressing
u. S. for Nile Dam Funds

getting the firmer promise Of
long-term assistance which hi
demands.
The Egyptian Premier, accord
ing to diplomatic reports to the
State Department, pressed the
point in a meeting in Cairo
Wednesday with Eugene R.
Black, president of the World
Bank which has offered to join
in the financing.
The meeting repeatedly was
friendly and cordial. Mr.. Black
repeatedly got the impression
that Col. Nasser preferred to
have the Western powers help
finance the $1.3 billion project
rather than accept a Russian
offer.
The financing plan calls for
the World Bank to lend $500
million and the United States
and Britain to provide another
5000 million with the rest Of the
cost being met by Egypt.
The United States and Britain
offered last December to give
Egypt a total of $40 million to
get the huge project started.
But United States law limits for
eign aid commitments to funds
appropriated for any one year,
and the American Government
could promise only sympathetic
consideration Of Egypt's further
needs as the work progressed.
This is way Of saying that the
administration will ask Congress
for funds as they are required.

are in command at the Krem-

shifts drastically and suddenly

future purge or liquidation
may not bring the old friends
of Josef Stain back into the
seats of the mighty?
And if that were not to
happen, what about the con-
tinuing fight for top billing
among the Communist Party's
hierarchy? Tito has no such
problems. There is no dis
cernible challenge to Tito's
rule from within Yugoslavia.
We can assume that his
publicity from there will con-
tinue to be good. Just so long.
at least, as he personally con-
tinues to direct the govern
ment he absolutely heads.
If the Kremlin bigwigs were
to fail to resolve their diff
ferences sufficiently in the
months ahead to keep up a
clear symbol of world leader
ship around which the COM
rades can rally as has been
their wont. why could not Tito
assume the mantle of Com

The amazing success Of
Marshal Tito in his grand.
triumphant march through the
Soviet Union has raised a
fascinating question in the
minds of many familiar with
the curious workings of the
Communist world apparatus:
Is it at all possible that the
shrewd Yugoslavian lea der
may yet become the most
powerful Communist leader Of
them all?
He has asserted his indie
pendence in the face of the
might of Red Russia and has
won. In coming back to the
fold as he did. he re-embraced
the hammer-and-sickle of So
Wet Russia and of the Com
munist Party, yet apparently
was very careful to specify
that he had entered no formal
military alliance and would
not permit his Yugoslavian
Communist Party to be subject
to the discipline of the Russian
party or, presumably, any new
Comintern or Cominform.
He goes back to Belgrade a
hero. lionized by the implac-
able foes he vanquished. The
men in the Kremlin very OBJ

policy toward him and toward
