Nasser's Policy: Force; UN Meets on Problem
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Egypt massed troops in the northern part of the Sinai peninsula opposite Israel today under Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser's announced policy of being ready to meet force with force.
The United Nations Security council was meeting in New York at 2 p.m. (CST) to consider Egypt's charges of "aggression" by Israel in the Gaza strip last Monday, but informants said the government considered this a mere formality.
For three days troops and material have moved into positions west of Rafa at the extreme northeastern tip of the Sinai peninsula and on the frontier of the 28-mile long Gaza strip where fighting Monday cost 39 Egyptian and eight Israeli lives.
A United Press dispatch from Gaza said the Egyptian garrison took extra security precautions today, the Moslem sabbath, to prevent a fresh outbreak of the refugee riots which shook the town Tuesday and Wednesday.
An official source said authorities were determined to crush any more demonstrations and were ready for all eventualities.
Military sources said Mr. Nasser, in his speech yesterday to Army Cadets, had set forth Egypt's policy in the clearest terms. He called for the policy of force to meet force and belittled the efforts of the Security council.
At the same time Egypt hastened formation of a new Arab league collective security pact which would unite the armies of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia against Israel. It excludes Iraq which recently signed a mutual defense pact with Turkey.
The 45-year-old airlines' pilot was sentenced to two years in prison last November for theft of gold bullion on a Swiss air flight from Paris to Geneva on Oct. 6. Mr. Dahl appealed his conviction on the grounds that he did not sign the bill of lading listing the gold and was not responsible for it.
Geneva — A court has granted 'American Soldier-of-Fortune Harold (Whitey) Dahl a new trial subject to confirmation by a Swiss court of appeals.
Tokyo—The United States A i r Force announced today it has grounded its C-119 flying boxcars at Ashiya air base in southern Japan pending further investigation of a crash of one of the planes Tuesday.
A spokesman denied reports that sabotage was suspected. One airman was killed and two others are missing and presumed dead in the crash of a cargo plane which developed engine trouble on a flight from Japan to Okinawa. Four crewmen survived.
The ministry said few planes have ever traveled so fast in level flight. The speed of sound is more than 700 miles an hour at sea level.
Paris—The French super mystery jet fighter plane broke the sound barrier in level flight yesterday when it was flown for the first time, the air ministry announced.
Washington — Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) announced today his House Rules committee will hold hearings within ten days on the question of routing the Hawaii-Alaskan Statehood bill to a floor vote.
The announcement followed private admissions by Democratic leaders that Interior Committee Chairman Clair Engel (D.-Calif.) appears empowered to bring up statehood as a "privileged matter" in any case.
The ancient and little used House regulation which Rep. Engle has threatened to use would permit him to plunge the House into an unlimited statehood debate at any time—with or without Rules committee sanction.
London—Broadcasts from Soviet Russia and Communist China warned Britain its small size would make it an ideal target for an atom bomb attack. The statements were comments on Prime Minister Winston Churchill's hydrogen bomb speech in the House of Commons.
New Delhi-British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden flew today to Baghdad, Iraq, for talks on bolstering Middle Eastern defenses against Communist aggression.
