Anglo-French Troops Will Remain In Suez Canal Area
LONDON—(UP)—Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd refused today to commit Britain to hurried withdrawal from Egypt pending new consultations with France and consideration of "other matters" such as the future of the Suez Canal.
In a crisis report to the House of Commons, Lloyd reiterated Anglo-French determination for a "phased withdrawal" from the occupied areas of Egypt, and added:
"There are other important matters to be considered, such as the speedy clearance of the canal and the negotiation of a final settlement with regard to the future operation of the canal.
"These matters must be discussed with our French allies and I also await certain clarifications with regard to the carrying out of the resolution passed Saturday by the U. N. Assembly, authorizing the secretary general to proceed with arrangements for the (canal) clearance as a U. N. operation."
Lloyd's "interim statement" in Parliament was the firmest declaration yet that Britain and France intend to keep at least some of their forces in the Suez until progress is made on clearing obstructions from the Egypt-held section of the canal and on obtaining a final decision on international supervision of the vital waterway.
LONDON—(UP)—The rising tide of Anti-American feeling in Great Britain may save Prime Minister Anthony Eden's job—if anything can.
British Blame U. S. For Suez
One week ago, a great many Britons were blaming Eden for the British-French invasion of the Suez Canal Zone which caused an open breach in relations with the United States.
At the moment at least, this British feeling seems likely to strengthen Eden's own gravely weakened position.
Now there is an increasing tendency in Britain—in the Conservative party, in the newspapers and in British private life—to blame the United States for the entire Suez situation.
Both President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles were bitterly angry at Eden because Britain and France decided on the Suez invasion without consulting them. It has been reported that the President has refused to talk to Eden by telephone.
Syria Received Millions In Russian Equipment, U.S. Says
WASHINGTON — (UP)— American officials said today Syria has received at least $40 million worth of military equipment from Russia during the past year.
Included were tanks, small arms and trucks. Furthermore, officials said, Soviet MIG airplanes have been spotted in Syria, but it is not known whether they were turned over to Syria by Russia or whether they merely were Egyptian planes that escaped to Syria during the Anglo-Franco attack on Egypt.
The United States is not too worried about the amount of arms Syria has received from Russia so far. But it is greatly concerned that the flow of Soviet military goods will continue and increase.
Officials thought they saw a new hint that the shipments will continue in a statement Wednesday by Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri Sheplov. The Russian official said in Copenhagen, Denmark, that he has "incontestible evidence" that Britain, France and Israel intend to attack Syria, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern nations.

Troops Strafed By Planes, Egypt Says
The threat to the Baghdad Pact was so grave a top-level Turkish mission flew to London to seek means of counteracting the rapid buildup of Soviet arms in Syria which Turkey saw as a threat to it and its Baghdad Pact partner, Irag.
Israeli sources accused the Soviet Union of conspiring with Syria to wreck the Baghdad Pact and overthrow the government of Iraq. Moscow retorted that Israel was "digging its own grave" by preparing a new conflict in the Middle East.
Jewish Boycott In Egypt Reported
PARIS—(UP)—The 45,000 Jews in Egypt are being systematically boycotted, plundered, imprisoned and expelled by the Egyptian government, an official of the American Jewish Committee charged today.
Zachariah Shuster, European Director of the AJC, said harassment of Jews living in Egypt is having the same effect as mass deportation, although deportation has not been officially ordered by the Egyptian Government.
"While Jews of foreign nationalities receive protection from their governments, the situation of Egyptian Jews and of the stateless Jews is particularly precarious, since they are entirely at the mercy of the Egyptian Government," he said.
Korea Wants To Aid Hungary

A Big Bang For Everyone
Timbermen call the porcupine the forest gangster, for wherever this vegetarian travels on its nocturnal hunts for food, dead or dying treetops mark its path. Porcupines kill or stunt young trees by gnawing into the inner bark and cambium layer, which are vital to the trees' growth, says the National Geographic Society.
