Middle East Crisis Tightens As Egypt Blocks UN Forces
(Commiled from the United Press by Daily Kansan Editors)
Last minute Egyptian objections halted the U.N. police force today before it could take up positions between the Anglo-French and Egyptian armies in the Suez Canal zone.
Moscow Radio accused Western "imperialists" of plotting armed "intervention" in Syria in hopes of strengthening the anti-Communist Baghdad pact. Western sources feared a Syrian attack on neighboring Iraq or Israel.
The force was just preparing to enter the no-man's land when the Egyptian commander informed a U.N. laison officer further details would have to be worked out.
The threat of a new Middle East flareup over Communist-infiltrated Syria brought crisis talks in London by France, Britain and Turkey and a barrage of veled threats against the West by Russia.
Authoritative sources said acting Turkish Foreign Minister Ethem Menderes personally warned British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd at lunch that Iraq might be forced to act against Syria. Turkey, linked to Iraq by treaty, would have to support Iraq.
Russia Accuses West
The British and French foreign ministers met in London, and informed sources said they would agree to an early withdrawal from Egypt in hopes of winning full American support for the new threat to the Eaghdad pact nations and to Israel.
