sources said today. No specific
plan. date or timetable has been

Israel will be acting on the
basis of another assumption, this
one founded on the words of
President Eisenhower in a radio
broadcast last February 20 in
which he said 1t should not be
assumed that Egypt would vio-

Britain Defends
New Reliance
On H-bombs


Minister Macmillan's govern
ment, rejecting demands from
home and abroad to halt its
scheduled H-bomb tests, is de-
Tending strongly its decision to
base Britain's defense on nuclear
power.
Mr.. Macmillan and four of his
ministers supported their stand
in speeches last night. The Prime
Minister said streamlining Brit
aims forces for the nuclear age
will mean greater mobility, bet
ter training, and better equip
ment.
Addressing the Cutters Society
IN London. Mr.. Macmillan backed
the defense policy based increas-
ingly on the deterrent power OF
the H-bomb and less on conven-
tional military strength. This
policy was outlined Thursday in
a government white paper.
The Laborite opposition and
Others at home and abroad. in
Icluding Japanese Premier Nobo-
|suke Kishi, have urged that Brit
aims first H-bomb tests sched-
uled to take place soon at Christ
mas Island in the Pacific be
called off.
Tests Due in May
i In Adelaide. Australia, in
formed sources said Britain is
expected to explode three H
bombs off Christmas Island early
next month. The informants
said the first test likely will be
in the first week in May if the
weather is favorable.
| Mr.. Macmillan said in his
speech that advantages expected
from streamlining the forces
depend upon our readiness to
base ourselves upon the deterrent
power of nuclear armament" ;"
He said he recognized 1.-THE ter
rible character" of nuclear
weapons. adding:
But I would not be doing nv
duty If I did not say quite
frankly that. much as We desire
disarmament and hard as we
will work for it. this must cover
the new weapons and con-
ventional forces"
He promised to push for a
comprehensive plan of world dis
armament and said:
I'VE are also prepared to try
to find some effective way of
, limiting nuclear tests"
Danger Minimized
DR.. Charles Hill, recently ap-
pointed head of Btitain's propa-
panga services. said in a speech
3at Luton in Bedfordshire that
as yet there is no danger what
ever from nuclear tests. He
conceded that this sis a poten-
tial hazard which must be Eery
closely watched~-and this the
government is doing"
DR.. Hill declared that without
the CID bomb we should become
a satellite. Some people who
clamor against our tests seem
ready enough to shelter behind
Americas H-bomb."
!, All four of Mr.. Macmillan's
colleagues in their speeches at
tackled the Labor Party for
formally opposing the nuclear
tests. Pensions Minister John
Boyd-Carpenter told a meeting
at Framlingham in Suffolk that
the Laborites "are prepared to
entrust our safety to nuclear
weapons but say that we must
not test these bombs to make
sure they work"
| Supply Minister Aubrey Jones
defended reliance on nuclear
weapons in a speech at South
Shields, industrial and ship
building center in Durham
County. But he cautioned that
we must not allow ourselves
to be so obsessed with the H
bomb that we forget the need
for other arms"

u. S. and Egypt Continue
.Hiqh-LeveI Discussions

CAIRO. April 6 Up. - The
United States and Egypt are
continuing to press their high
level diplomatic exchanges in an
effort to reach agreement on the
Egyptian plan for operating the
Suez Canal.
United States Ambassador
Raymond Hare and Egyptian
Foreign Minister Mahmoud Faw-
Izi have held four closed-door
Iparleys in the past four days on
the vital canal issue.
Their talks have been supple
mented by a steady exchange of
notes between Washington and
Cairo.
The exchange began soon after
United Nations Secretary Gen.
'eral Dag Hammarskjold returned
to New York from talks in Cairo.
He had repeatedly sought to get
President NaSser to agree on a
canal plan more palatable to the
West.
Bargaining With U. S.
Observers said Egypt-which
originally had vowed 10 deal only
through the u. N.-now is
actually bargaining through the
United States with the Ameri-
cans reporting their findings to
the Suez Canal Users Associa-
ton in London.
London sources said United
States Minister to Britain Wads-
worth Barbour told SCUA the
United States is pressing Col.
Nasser to make more changes in
his plan.
The United States reportedly
has proposed an international
pact Incorporating the six prin-
Iciples laid down by the Security
Council for canal operation.
