U.S. Does Not Intend to Shoot
.Vay Through Suez, Dulles Says
Washington U.fi Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
said today the United States
does not intend to shoot its way
through the Suez Canal or
enter any shooting war if Egypt
tries to block the canal. ,
At the same time Dulles ap
pealed to Egypt to accept the
new Western sponsored "users
association" to assure freedom of
navigation in the canal. Dulles
called the plan a basis for "a
just, yet peaceful settlement" of
the Suez crisis.
Dulles said there is no Inten
tion on the part of the West to
impose a Suez settlement on
Egypt. He said it is fantastic that
anyone mijht think this the case
Indian Prime Minister Jawahar
lal Nehru earlier today criticized
the "user association" plan as an
"imposed solution" fraught with
"grave consequences."
ApproTvd By Eisenhower
Dulles outlined the U. S. posi
tion at a press conference
packed by about 175 reporters.
He read a 700-word prepared
statement and . then answered
questions.
President Eisenhower approv
ed Dulles' statement in advance
during a telephone conference
from his Gettysburg, Pa., farm
this morning.
Mr. Eisenhower will fly back
here Friday to confer with Aus
tralian Prime Minister Robert
Cordon Menzies who headed a
five-nation committee which
tried vainly to sell Dulles' in
ternationalization plan to Egypt.
Dulles told reporters, in re
sponse to questions, that the
United States does not intend to
try to shoot its way through the
Suez Canal.
He said if Egypt blocks the
canal by force the United States
does not intend to go into any
shooting war.
Would Avoid Canal
He said American ships in
that event would take the long
way around the Cape of Good
Hope at the southern tip of
Africa instead of going through
the Suez shortcut.
He said this diversion would
be more expensive, of course
but that the United States be
lieves, it would not be catastro
phic. He said it has already been
decided to take some U. S. tank
ers out of the mothball reserve
fleet to divert oil and other traf
fic around Africa if anything
should happen to deny passage
of the canal. ,
Dulles said this country will
join the proposed "users asso
ciation" even if Britain and
France are its only partners. He
hoped it will be moving well
toward organization next week.
Dulles said that the United
States has reason to be confi
dent that at least some other na
tions Besides the United States.
Britain and France will join the
new association.
Faw Nations InToWtd
However, he indicated these
other partners may be few. He
pointed out that five countries.
Rritain. the United States,
France, Italy and Norway, con
trol 75 per cent of the shipping
using the Suez Canal.
Dulles' statement was designed
to clear up reported "confusion"
in foreign capitals over the U.S.
position on the ''user associa
tion" plan which was announced
in the British Parliament
Wednesday by Prime Minister
Anthony Eden.
Egypt has rejected the pro
posal as a provocation "that
would lead to war. An official
Egyptian spokesman charged to
day that "certain nations" in
tend to commit aggression
against Egypt's lawful rights.
In Britain, there had been
charges that "confusing" State
Department statements on the
U.S. position Wednesday had
hampered Anglo-French efforts
to end the Suez crisis and Eden's
bid to win a vote of confidence
tonight in the face of heavy La
borite opposition to his Suez
policies.
Can Prot.cl Rights
Dulles said the United States
believes that if Egypt tries to
interfere with a ship handled by
the new users association, or re
fuses to take measures to assure
free navigation of the waterway,
it would be a breach of the 1888
Suez treaty. In such a case, he
said, shipping nations would be
entitled to act through the Unit
ed Nations or take such other ac
tion as appropriate to protect
their rights under the treaty.
He declined to spell out what
he meant by other appropriate
action, on grounds that would de
pend on circumstances as they
developed.
A reporter told Dulles that
Eden had indicated Britain
would brook no interference
with the new users association
and noted this seemed to be in
conflict with Dulles' more mod
erate statements today.
Duties replied that he did not
get the impression Eden had
pledged to shoot Britain's way
through the canal if necessary.
But he also said that each na
tion has to decide for itself what
action to take to defend itself
and the rights it believes it has
under the treaty.

Officials Dubious
About Refloating
Grays Harbor .U.R) Offic
ials of the Coastwise Line, agent
for the beached freighter Sea
gate, seemed 'dubious today that
the Liberian ship would be re
floated. The Seagate, now resting in
the sands 30 miles north of here,
is flooded in all but the No. 6
compartment. Water would have
to be pumped out and compart
ments patched before a salvage
attempt could be made.
The 7.200-ton freighter orig
inally grounded last Thursday
on Sonora Reef but broke loose
again Monday and floated to her
present position. Her crew had
been removed Thursday without
incident.
Two tugs, the Erik Foss and
the A. G. Hubble were reported
standing by until it is decided if
the freighter can be refloated.

ner. 45. drove his car past a

a runway just as the plane,
carrying 11 persons, was about

the speeding car until his wheels
were almost down and all he
could do was hope.
He said the car passed beneath
his left wing tip. missing the out
board propeller by what seemed
to be inches.
Port authority police drove
after the driver, halted his car
and placed him under arrest. He

About 4 800 persons are en
gaged in the leather industries

L. Neuberger for the recovery
of A! Sarcna ore specimens from
the Rogue river.
Fayette I. Bristol, president of
the Oregon Mining Association,
said that Neuberger is "abysmal
ly ignorant of flood control and
mineral production problems."
He explained it is "settled prac
tice" of assay teams to dispose
of the retained half of such
samples as soon as as5ay certifi
cates on the other half have
been completed.
Offered Reward
Neuberger offered the reward
to anyone who could find the
ore samples tossed into the river.
He said if the money is unclaim
ed it will go to Oregon College
of Education.
Sen. Wayne Morse, seeking
reelection to his post in the Sen
ate, yesterday bolstered his
campaign staff. The senior Ore
gon senator announced the ap
pointment of Al Hoffard of
Portland as press secretary for
his campaign.
Phil Hitchcock, who lost to
Douglas McKay in the primary
for the Republican senatorial
nomination, spoke out for Mc
Kay yesterday.
"There is no such thing as a
'common man' in the political
philosophy of the Republican
party," Hitchcock told a Port
land group.
"We see people as individuals
each with his own needs and
aspirations, each with his own
right to make his own decision
in matters of closely personal
nature, rather than having these
decisions imposed on him by his
government," he added.
Mors Charga
Morse charged yesterday- that
it took an election year for Mc
Kay and the White House to hear
the voice of the National Park
service.
Morse's charge followed a re
lease earlier this week from the
Interior Department that out
lined a new park rehabilitation
program and traced origin of the
program to recommendations
made by McKay.
Morse asserted that it was due
to a Democratic Congress that
nearly six million dollars was
approved for development and
rehabilitation at Crater Lake
national park.

Selective Admission
May Be Instituted
For State Colleges
Eugene Superintendents and
principals of Oregon high
schools have been advised that
new selective admission require
ments for state institotions of
higher education may be insti
tuted in the future.
In a letter signed by Dr. Earl
M. Pallet, secretary of the state
board of higher eduaction, it
was pointed out that because of
sharp increases in enrollments
during the past years and the ex
pectation of continuation at an
accelerated rate, officials of the
state instiutions are cooperating
in the preparation of a plan for
selective admission of students.
Details Not Compl.f.
"The details have not been
completed, but the objective will
be to restrict admission to those
high school graduates who show
promise of academic success in
college," the letter reads.
"It is probable that considera
tion will be given to the type of
work taken in high school and
the actual performance, in terms
of grades, on that work," Pal
lett's letter continues. He said de
tails on the final selective admis
sion plan will probably be com
pleted in the next two months
and become effective in Septem
ber of 1957.
Under present regulations any
graduate of an accredited Ore
gon high school is eligible for ad-
; mission to a state institution of
higher education. But with en
rollment increases, officials fear
facilities and faculties will not be
sufficient to meet the demands
unless the "open door" provis
ions are modified.
Kidnap-Slaying Probe
Continues in Hamden
Hamden, Conn. U.R) Investi
gators of the kidnap-slaying of
six-weck-old Cynthia Ruotolo
still were without a definite clue
today, one week after her body
was fished out of Lake Whitney.

FBI laboratory analysis of the
child's vital organs and examina
tion of several articles found
with the body would definitely
establish the time and cause of
death. The FBI report is due
Friday.
