Confusion Wells
.Egypt's Role in
Action
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press STAT Writer

Diplomatic quarters reflected
confusion today ON the question
of whether Egypt will go alone
with the Dulles plan to persuade
Israel to withdraw troops from
occupied Egyptian areas.
The reason appears to be that
some American officials believe
or want to create the impression
they believe-that Egypt already
has given assurances of co.
operation.
High officials say privately
however. that in fact Egypt has
not given any specific assurance
They say it is too early to tell
what the decisive reaction OF
President Canal Abdel Nasser's
government will be.
Uncertainty on Details
At the State Department it is
said that essential elements OF
the proposition were given to
Egyptian Foreign Minister Nah.
moud Fawzi at the United Ma
lions in New York Monday by
~. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold. On the other
hand Egyptian sources both in
New York and here insist they
have had no direct fill-in by any
American official. Some suggest
that not even Mr.. Hammarskjold
has talked to Mr.. Fawzi about it
Secretary of State Dulles pre-
sented the two-point plan to
Israeli Ambassador Abba 'Eban
Monday. He is understood to
have told Mr.. Eban that he had
good reason to hope Egypt would
Igo along with his proposition.
Mr.. Dulles has given a fill in on
his thinking to Mr.. Hammar-
skiold and presumably Mr.. Ham,
marskjold had passed it along
to Mr.. Fawzi.
Recognize Ship Rights
One apparently we'll founded
report at the State Department
is that in meeting with Mr..
HammarSkjold in the last three
or four days Mr.. Fawzi said
Egypt recognizes the right of
innocent passage OF ships
through the Gulf of Aqaba.
This reported comment,
coupled with a statement made
by the Egyptian government to
the United States several years
ago on the same point, is said
by responsible officials to be
the basis of reports that Mr..
Fawzi has given assurances
Egypt will go along with the
Dulles plan.
Egypt, however. has prevented
Israeli ships from using the
Gulf of Aqaba for years even
though it conceded the right
of innocent passage" The point
is that the Egyptian government
did not regard the passage Of
Israeli ships as innocent" pc
cause they were ships of a coun-
try with, which Egypt has been
at war.
Similarly, in the case OF the
Suez Canal. Egypt has declared
its faithfulness to an 1888 treaty
making the canal an information
al waterway. but has said this
does not apply in the case OF
Israeli ships.
