Russians stall on mideast
Daily Kansan Thursday, May 25, 1967
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin told him pointedly Wednesday that the solution of the world's problems "does not depend on you and me."
In Moscow British Foreign Secretary George Brown is currently seeking to win Russian cooperation for a Mideast peace initiative.
LONDON—(UPI)—The Soviet Union was reported today to be aiming for a "package deal," linking a Mideast peace commitment to de-escalation of the Vietnam war.
In London, Communist diplomats were dropping strong hints that the Mideast Crisis cannot be seen "in isolation," and must be tackled in the light of "American aggression elsewhere," especially in Vietnam.
All the indications point to Moscow's determination to exploit the current Mideast crisis to the hilt, using it for a further Soviet entrenchment in the area and as a means of diplomatic pressure on American Vietnam policy, the reports said.
Diplomatic reports said the Soviets are playing hard-to-get for a joint east-west Mideast peace initiative, pointing to the American "aggression" in Vietnam as the major obstacle to cooperation.
THE RUSSIANS were said to be using the argument that the Vietnam war makes cooperation with the Americans on peace moves in the Middle East difficult, if not impossible.
The call came as a complete surprise at the time, but was then shrugged off as yet another of Moscow's periodic calls for American withdrawal from Europe.
DIPLOMATIC observers cautioned that there is therefore more to the present crisis than meets the eye.
They recalled that last month Soviet Party Chief Leonid I. Brezhnev called at a conference of party leaders in Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia, for the removal of the American 6th Fleet from the Mediterranean.
In the light of the Mideast crisis this call was now seen to take on a darker complexion.
Diplomatic observers said it lends support to unconfirmable suggestions that U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser's offensive may have been given a nod from Moscow.

AUTO RUST ATTACKED
HONG KONG—(UPI)—British government reports today said two British diplomats in Communist China were coated with glue and kicked by Red Guards. London termed the attack "outrageous."
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Auto body rust is being attacked on two fronts. Increasing use by auto makers of an automatic welding system that welds trim attachments to auto bodies, eliminating the bolt holes around which corrosion often forms, is reported by Omark Industries, Inc. of Portland, Ore.
With this background of mounting Peking belligerence, British authorities in Hong Kong today passed new emergency laws prohibiting the broadcast of inflammatory or inciting statements, apparently aimed at Communist loudspeaker appeals to "throw the British out."
Red guards attack British
than two weeks of wild rioting and strikes by Peking-backed Communists seeking to humble the British. But there was an air of uneasiness as people waited to see what the Communists will do next.
Peking has demanded Britain comply with a list of demands, including the release of all persons arrested in the riots and the banning of U.S. Navy vessels in Hong Kong harbor.
A strong British protest was expected for the manhandling in Shanghai of diplomatic representative Peter Hewitt and an official from the British mission in Peking.
