 LOng-Range Jet BOmbers

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of the Air Force Quarles said to- day that long-range jet bombers, "capable of delivering atomic weapons on our homeland" are coming off Soviet production lines.

Eisenhower Says US. Will Oppose
 Intervention in Egypt by Volunteers From Russia or Communist China

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said today the United States would oppose-probably thru the United Nations-any in tervention in Egypt by Soviet or Chinese Communist volunteers.
 The President left up in the air just what form such opposition might take.
 He told news conference, his first since reelection, that the na- ture of such opposition would de- pend on the specific circumstance es of any intervention.
 There have been reports that up to 50,000 Soviet volunteers were ready to move into the Mid7 dle East if Moscow should give the word.
 Qn Moscow today an Arab source said Egypt's ambassador, Mohammed Fl Kony, had been instructed by his government to request the immediate dispatch of Soviet volunteers" to Egypt. It was taken for granted the Krem- lin would put no obstacles in the way of the volunteers leavingo
 A week ago, the White House issued a statement saying that the introduction of any new armed forces into Egypt would violate the United Nations Charter, and it would be the duty of all mem bers to oppose any such such effort"
 In the light of that statement, Eisenhower was asked today what form US. opposition would take under such circumstances.
 He replied it was impossible for him to say at this point.
 Then he commented that the JUN. is not restricted, as he put it. to adoption of resolutions.
 The President added that he was not going to say the United States would make a unilateral determination-that is decision by itself-about how to handle such intervention.
 The President said there was one case in which the JUN. did more than pass a resolution. AL tho he did not say so, Eisenhower presumably was referring to JUN. intervention in Korea,
 The President expressed hope and confidence the current crisis in the Middle East and in Hun gary can be settled thru the LIN.
 He also said he believes that once those situations have been resolved, US. relations with Brit ain and France will be stronger than ever.

Egypt Asks for Immediate Dispatch Of Soviet Volunteers to Put Out 'Aggressors' From Suez Canal Zone
By HAROLD K. MILKs

MOSCOW, R-An Arab source said today Egyptian Ambassador Mohammed Fl Kony has been in structed by his government to re- quest the immediate dispatch of Soviet volunteers" to Egypt.
 The Soviet government has said it would permit Soviet citi- zens who volunteered for service to the Middle East to go there if their presence was requested. It was taken for granted the Krem- lin would put no obstacles in the way of the volunteers departure.
 Fl Kony said this week more than 50,000 Soviet citizens had applied for permission to fight for Egypt.
 The report that Egypt has now asked for Soviet volunteers came as JUN. police units marked time at their assembly base in Italy before going on to the Suez Canal zone to patrol cease-fire.
 Egypt has been demanding im- mediate departure of all Israeli and French-British troops from Egypt, and insisting that the JUN. police army have no part in con- trol of the Suez Canal. This has run counter to the stated inten- tions of the Israelis and the Brit iSh and French.
 Reports that Egyptian President Nasser would decline to allow JUN. police troops to remain in Egypt, except on the 1949 Israeli Egyptian armistice line, and then only so long as Egypt should de- eide, had been interpreted by Western sources in Moscow as bringing the possibility that So- viet volunteers" would pour into the Middle East.
 Thus could be started a situa- tion something like Korea, when Red China's volunteers" went to the relief of North Korea's Com munist regime.
 "If Nasser won't permit the JUN. to take over the canal zone it's unlikely the British and French forces will pull out" one Western diplomatic source said last night. And if the British and French don't pull out the Soviet Union is already committed to send it's volunteers to help Egypt kick them out. It looks like an- other vicious circle"
