Foreign Minister Haidul Haq Chowdry of Pakistan submitted an amendment emphasizing the importance of Egypt's rights as a sovereign nation. ; "I welcome anything that will help underline the respect for Egypt's sovereignty," Dulles said in accepting the amendment., While allied to Britain In the Baghdad Pact, Pakistan, Turkey and Iran had held some reserva tions on the Western plan. Pakistan and Iran had endorsed Egypt's right to nationalize the canal. Turkey was lukewarm to ward the idea of international con trol. Ethiopia also had been listed as doubtful.i Despite "the parade of support to the plan advanced by Dulles on behalf of the United States, Britain and France, V. K. Krishna Menon of India declared Egypt would reject it, . . ' v Entirely Impracticable i, Menon, who visited President Nasser In Cairo before coming to the conference, told a press con ference the Western plan was "entirely impracticable."

Change in date was made to provide sufficient time for pub lication of the notice to hold an election. The proposed district covers several hundred acres, including Manbrin Gardens. It extends from the north city limits of Sa lem to a point north of the, Kci zer business area and for a con siderable distance on either side of North River road.

The old wooden bridge will be replac ed by - one of modern concrete, which is one of lour voted in by a bond issue election last spring. Closure ot High street will likely make a lot of motorists change their usual travel route.

At least one block to speedy destruction of the old bridge has already been found. A gas line crossing under one of the board walks will have to be shut off and rerouted while construction is going on. An electronic instru ment was being used to locate other utility lines near the bridge to prevent accidental damage during work. Two Israelis Die in Clash AMMAN, Jordan Wl .

How ever, Floyd M. McGlInn at the employment office said growers could use at least 100 more each day. McGlInn said (here was not an area where more pickers could not be used. In some areas a few yards are just finishing up. but also In those same areas there are other fields where the beans arc lafer and now heavy. McClinn thought the big demand for pickers would last at least through this week. Starting about the first week In September there will be a need. for prune pickers, with one of the largest prune areas being In this section. McGlinn said the prune crop Is good locally and that local help would he needed as transient lahor will not be available, partly because there was not housing for them In the prune areas. Now It li thought the peak of the prune harvest will come the sec ond week In September. 1 1 One of the first Jobs necessary when work began on tearing down the old wooden bridge on South High street early this morn ing was locating, all underground pipes and utility lines with an electronic device here handled by John Keller, foreman of the crew. Other preliminary work to replacing the old structure with a modern concrete bridge was 'tearing up the' old boardwalks along each side. It will take nearly a year to finish the Job.
