Egypt Expected
To Balk At Plan
To End Crisis
CAIRO U.N. Secretary Gen
eral uag Hammarskjold flew into
Cairo today for talks with Presi
dent Nasser and other top Egyp
tian officials on the issues still
threatening the Middle East with
violence.
Egypt was expected to balk at
the plea Hammarskjold reportedly
will make for an Egyptian-Israeli
proclamation of nonbelligerency.
It was believed Hammarskjold
would call for such pledges as a
major curb against renewed war
fare and that Israel would agree
to go along. The Israelis have
said all along they are ready to
talk peace with their Arab neigh
bors. The Arab allies of the 1948 Pal
estine War have refused to talk
peace with the Israelis. They have
used the continuing technical state
of war as a basis for their eco
nomic boycott of Israel and their
refusal to let Israeli ships use the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aaaba.
There appeared little hope Egvpt
would mofidy that position in the
current talks with Hammarskjold
The secretary general was smil
ing as he sleDDed from the Diane
that brought him on hit fifth visit
to fcgypt in little more than a
year. He declined to make any
statement to reporters.
A U.N. press SDokesman said he
did not know whether Hammar
skjold would visit the canal area
and the Gaza Strip or how long
he would remain in Egypt.
For the Gaza Strip, Hammar
skjold was expected to try to work
out a pian mat would neutralize
the Mediterranean coastal area
militarily while leaving it under
Egyptian administration. He will
urge the stationing of UNEF
troops along both sides of the bor

The final hurdle to an agreed
ment between the city of Myrtle
Creek and the Tri-City Water Dis

when the City Council attached an
emergency clause and passed an

ment. The ordinance was signed by
