SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. June 20, 1956! Russia Aiding Egypt in Campaign To Woo Libya From Western Ties Tripoli (U.PJ Russia is as- listing Egypt in a campaign to woo strategic Libya from her western military alliances, ac cording to western diplomats. The expressed fears that the additional backing Egypt is re ceiving from the Soviet Union may, in the long run, lead Pre mier Mustapha Ben Halim or a successor government to oust the United States from its massive Wheelut Field air base and force the British to remove large army detachments from Libyan soil. Western observers here point out that "neutralist" Egypt and Communist Russia have the same objective here, elimination of a strategic western toehold in the Arab world and close to Rus sia's exposed underbelly. They say this common objec tive has led the two nations un officially to join hands in a cam paign to make Ben Halim adopt a militarily neutral position. The Libyan government is presently pursuing a difficult fence-sitting policy, trying to maintain a necessary friendship with Egypt and at the same time hold on to alliances with tKe West. Libya needs western money it gets for the bases and in econom ic aid to balance its crowing budget and finance development plans. At the same time, the young kingdom cannot afford to alienate Egypt, which one west ern observer described as "Lib ya's inescapable big brother." The struggle has continued about even so far. western ob servers believe. This is true de spite tremendous Egyptian in fluence in Libya, particularly in the educational system and the judiciary, which causes concern among Libyan as well as west ern officials. But the Russians are now in the picture and cooperating with the Egyptians to lure Libya from her pro-western position, west ern diplomats say. They cite the following as such: 1. T h e Russo-Libyan agree ment to establish diplomatic re lations was made in Cairo. 2. Western diplomats say Egypt strongly urged Libya to accept Russia's recent aid offer. Around Hollywood By ALINE M05BY United Prest Correspondent i , , Hollywood UP!
