Juliana and Prince Bernhard
have been whispered in govern
ment and royal circles here for
years. Early in June a German
news magazine published an ar
ticle saying that the Queen came
under the influence of Miss Hof-
mans after Prince Bernhard
brought her to the palace in
1913 to treat Princess Maria
Cristina. The faith healer claims
God given powers to heal
through prayer.
The article said Miss Hofman's
influence later extended to mat
tiers of state and brought about
differences between the Queen
and her husband after Prime
Bernhard barred the faith healer
from the palace in 1850.
Since June. government spokes-
have denied several times the
Irumors of divorce or impending
Iabdication and said Miss Hof-
mans could not have influenced
government policy through the
Queen.
To Avoid Organization
The Dutch National Agency
said the Queen would not take
part in the future in meetings
of Het Dude. Loo, an organiza-
ton that advocates q form of
Moral Rearmament. Miss Hof-
mans has been associated with it.
The Queen and her mother.
Princess Wilhelmina, have par
ticipated in some of Het Dude
Loo's gatherings. The organiza-
ton. literally 1.-THE Old Wood
lis named after Wilhelmina s
palace near Apeldorn. The next
meeting was planned for August
81. Wilhelmina's birthday.
Juliana, At, and Bernhard, As,
have been married 1912 years
and have four daughters. The
eldest, Crown Princess Beatrix,
now 10. will enter Leyden Uni
Iversity in September to study

Canal Will Link
vo|gd and Baltic

NEW YORK, Aug. IS R.-
The Soviet government has an
nounced in a Moscow radio
broadcast its intentions to build
a great new canal to link the
Volga River and the Baltic Sea.
The first section would be COM
pleted by 1860.
The new waterway will be over
200 miles long. Taken together
with the Volga-Don Canal, COM
pleted in 1858, it will make it
possible for good-sized cargo
vessels to travel all the way from
the Black Sea to the Baltic.
1t will replace as a water link
between the Volga and Baltic
the existing old Mariinsky Canal,
which was completed about $50
years ago and which, the broad
cast said. had not been enlarged
since 1896.
Presumably it also will have
some naval signif1cance-since
through it some warships may
be shifted back and forth from
the Baltic and Black Sea fleets
without circling Europe.
The new Volga- Baltic water
way will extend from Lake
Omega to the artificial Rybinsk
Sea, which is the lake formed
in the Volga River behind the
Rybinsk Dam. 1t will follow
the route of the old Mariinsky
Canal, the broadcast said. In
stead of the present 80 locks
there will be only 8. all equipped
with modern machinery anc
sufficient capacity to handle moi
just single ships but whole con.
voyS.
One of the artificial lakes Il
be formed in the canal will bt
at Cherepovets. 1t will be rough
! ly 80 miles long and 20 mile.
broad. Forty million cubic me.
tiers OF earth will be moved anc
more than 20 bridges built
Nearly 100000 acres of land will
be flooded and 2l4 villages will
have to be moved.

Japan Denies
Receiving u. s.
|Kuri|e Warning

LONDON, Aug. Is (R.--A high
American official said last night
Secretary of State Dulles has
warned Japan the United States
could take possession of Okinawa
if Japan recognizes Soviet SOW
ereignty over the Southern Kurile
Islands.
But Japanese Foreign Minister
Mamoru Shigemitsu denied that
Mr.. Dulles has made such a
statement.
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Shigemitsu,
in London for the Suez con-
ference, have conferred twice.
The Russians occupied the
Southern Kuriles north of Japan
in 1945 and refuse to relinquish
them. Control of the islands is
the main block in the prolonged
RusSian-Japanese peace treaty
negotiations.
The United States repeatedly
is worried that Japan, anxious to
get the peace treaty, eventually
may recognize Russian sover-
eighty over the islands.
The United States and 40 other
non Communist countries signed
a peace treaty with Japan in San
Francisco in 1851. The Soviet
Union attended the conference
but would not sign.
The American informant said
Mr.. Dulles cited clauses of that
treaty barring Japan from CIV
ing preferential treatment to any
of its former enemies.
However, Mr.. Shigemitsu said
last night the Kuriles were not
discussed in his talks with Mr..
Dulles.
Il discussed with Dulles my
negotiations in Moscow with
leaders of the Soviet government
on peace treaty." the Japanese
Foreign Minister said. Dulles
was very kind to me. But he did
not talk about Okinawa or the
Southern Kuriles."
Japanese Gt .EomatS here denied
that the United States would
have a claim to Okinawa if Tokyo
recognizes Russian sovereignty
over the Southern Kuriles.

The Egyptian Embassy in

Two Italian pilots were hired

The Moscow radio hammered

United States sources in Lon

Col. Nasser to accept the plan as
a basis for negotiation.
While the Russians were rails
ing alarms over the danger Of
resorting to force and warning

not be limited to that area, there
was much less talk in the West
of military measures if Col.
Nasser rejects the proposals.
Buildup Continues
Britain and France continued
building up forces in the Medi-
Iterranean, but both insisted the
measures were precautionary.
About 10000 Britons live in
Egypt. A British government
spokesman insisted it would be
irresponsible not to have suffi-
Client military strength nearby
to protect these nationals in an
emergency.
Many Egyptians and foreign
ers in Cairo were convinced
Britain was not bluffing when
she moved warships and para
chute troops to within striking
distance of Suez. The Egyptian
government appeared to be try
ing to avoid any incident that
might lead to clash.
Several of the delegates who

Mr.. Shepilov departed by plane
