ing committee that the fedora

streets Sc. The District Com
missioners are reconsidering q

version. The question was re-
ferred back to the Urban Re-
newal Council for restudy.

mended against the proposed

pute within the council ABOUT
the action. The Commissioners

ing board room. They are the

No Progress Indicated
Egypt has held economic
talks with the British and
French. But so far no progress
has been indicated.
Col. Nasser complained in his
interview about what he
termed United States "eco-

The chief point Of pressure
is the freeze on Egyptian
assets. These totaled about $40
million when they were blocked
after Col. Nasser nationalized
the old Suez Canal Company in
July 1856.
