tm m Page 2 Section 1 Ethiopia Willing to Grant U,S. Bases Flanking Egypt Selassie Requests More Aid From Nixon ADDIS ABABA, Elhiopia HI -Emperor Haile Selassie is report ed favorable lo a U.S. request for Ethiopian bases flanking Egypt- pro v i d e d Ethiopia gets more American aid. Vice President Nixon during his current visit has pressed the American request for an Air Force communications base and anchoring facilities at the Red Sea port of Massawa. Word of the American aims broucht immodi ale reaction from Moscow and Cairo. ; Warned by Russia Russia was said to have warned Ethiopia it might get embroiled In a major war, alleging the United States wants lo store atom ic and hydrogen bombs on Ethio pian soil. Egypt's President Nasser sent a special envoy to Addis Ababa before Nixon arrived, reportedly with an urgent request for the Emperor lo visit Cairo. Nasser views the vice president's African tour : as part of a concentrated U.S. atlempl to isolate Egypt from; her neighbors. The American request, accord ing (o well-informed sources, in cluded the right to anchor three warships at Massawa in1 peace time and more in any common war effort. Warships there would be in a strategic position to hack up American and Israeli claims to navigation rights In the 8110 Canal and the Gulf of Aqaba, some 600 miles to the north. May Force Showdown There has been considerable speculation that the United Stales would force a showdown by trying to send ships through the gulf aft er Egypt reoccupied the Gulf of Aqaba coast. The closest other bunkering port open to the Amer icans is the British colony of Aden 300 miles south of Massawa and just outside the Red Sea. Nixon and Halle Selassie con ferred for almost two hours yes terday, and tho vice president was understood to have gone over the question of American bases. Nixon told newsmen he and the Emperor had discussed Increased 'United States activity." Ho de clined to go further on security grounds. The vice president lauded Ethio pia as "one of the United Slates' most stalwart and consistent nl- jies.'' He expressed confidence the country would not succumb tn Red blandishments, even though It was a major target of Com munlst Influence." Nixon left by plane Wednesday for a one-day visit tn Sudan, sixth country on his tour. After (he three-hour flight lo Khartoum, he was to confer with Sudanese lead ers on the Suez Canal, develop rhent of the Nile River and other problems.
