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

United Prest Correspondent

Hollywood UP! When
Buster Keaton reflects upon the
five most beautiful sweater girls
of all time in
the movies, he
thinks of bos
omy beauties
back in Moth
er's day.
And what
about the
busty queens
of 1956?
Either top-
Aline Mosbr heavy or pho
ney, he charges. The famed si
lent screen comedian didn't ev
en hesitate when I asked him
about the champions of today:
Jane. Gina. Sophia and the rest.
"'Too big:" said Keaton.
'Monroe All Right'
"Marilyn Monroe is all right,
though," he added.
To him the most beautiful
sweater girls "aren't necessarily
the biggest, but the most beauti
ful." On his list the "undisputed
champ of all time" is the late
Barbara Lamarr.
"She had beautiful propor
tions plus a gorgeous face,'-' he
said. "Nowadays the girls con
centrate too much on the bust.
It's the all-over proportions that
count."
The other Keaton champs in
the measure department are Bil
lie Dove, Betty Blyth, Ollie
Thomas and Jean Harlow all
tars 25 and more years ago. '
Buster explained he picked
old- timers because irv those days
the female figures were not only
top-heavy, but real.
Brat Not Needed
"The girls who had good fig
ures didn't wear bras or girdles."
he said. "Today you never know
whether a girl's figure is real or
not."
Keaton picked his list at Para
mount studio where he's teach
ing Donald O'Connor his famous
pratfalls and stunts for a movie
on the deadpan comic's life. "The
Buster Keaton Story."
Buster is extra busy these
days. He also appears often on
television. And with the fortune
he collected from Paramount for
his story he's setting up a one
acre "ranch" far out in the San
Fernando valley.

Libya turned it down at the last
moment after the United States
boosted its aid by $12,000,000 ov
er the next two years on the
condition that Libya not take
Communist aid.
3. Egyptian propaganda is
telling the Libyans that the Sov
iets are pro-Arab and only inter
ested in helping them.
4. The Russians and Egyptians
make a point of turning out in
force for each other's diplomatic
functions in an apparent attempt
to impress Libyan officials.
American diplomats here pur
posefully show the the Libyans
that U.S. -Russian relations are
coldly formal.
The U. S. Information Service

Case of Colonel Petrov" to re
sponsible Libyan officials.
It is the story of the former
Soviet diplomat, Vladimir Pet
rov, who defected in Australia
and revealed a widespread Sov

lai Generalov, was the top Rus
sian diplomat in Australia when
