Nation Assured
Of No Involvement
o Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower called in his
top advisers today to plan what
the United States will do short
of using military force. to "lo
calize and end" the war in the
Middle East. o
Mr. Eisenhower assured r the
nation in a radio-TV address on
Wednesday night that Uie United
States will not get involved in
the actual fighting.
But?he said it is jour govern
ment's "dedicated purpose . . .
to do all in its power to localize
the fighting and end the con
flict." Step in United Nations
One step toward that goal was
being taken in the United Na
tions today. With U.S. approval,
an emergency meeting of the
UN General Assembly was being
summoned to take "up the Middle
East crisis.
On -Tuesday the United States
was. stifled by British and French
votes in the UN Security Couiv
cil in its efforts tocget action by
the world organization on the
Arab-Israeli dispute. But in the
General Assembly, where there
is no veto. Mr. Eisenhower told
the nation Wednesday night,
"the opinion of the world can
be brought to bear in our quest
for a just end to this tormenting
problem."
Meets With Security Council
What other steps can be taken
awas being discussed by Mr. Eis-
enhower. today with the Nation-.
national developments.
Consideration is being given to
cutting gff economic aid to Is-1
raei. However, tne unnea states
does not plan at present to cut
off military aid fo Britain and
France. 0
The group also wa concerned
with planning what the United
States will tlo if the conflict in
the Suez area spreads, as offic
ials fear it might, and flares
across the Arab world from the
Atlantic to the Persian gulf.
Spoke as 'President'
In his talk Wednesday night.
Mr. Eisenhower said he was
speaking as "your president"
and not in his role as a candi
date for reelection. He made
these major points:
The United States was "not
consulted in any way . . . nor
informed in advance" by Israel,
Britain or France of their inten
tions to attack Egypt.
The United States believes
that in resorting military
force ino their quarrels w i t If
Egypt, those three nations acted
"in error." This country floes not
accept the use of force as a wise
or proper instrument for the
settlement of international dis
putes." "We know" the three at
tacking nations "have been sub
jected to grave and repeated
provocations" by Egypt. Never
theless, their armed attack can
"scarcely be reconciled with the
principles and purposes of the
United Nations toavhicH we have
all subscribed."
" . . . There will be no Unit
ed States involvement in these
present i.ostilities. I therefore
have no plan to call the Congress
in special session."

Favorable Look on
Overall Rogue Job
Reported by Staff
The Senate interior and public
wdtks committee looks favorably
on the overall Rogue River Basin
project, it was reported in Wash
ington today- by a committee
staff member.
Goodrich Lineweaver. recla
mation consultant for the com
mittee, which recently hel8 a
hearing in Medford on Rogue
river flood control possibilities,
indicated there is a chance that
an effort will be made in the
next congress for authorization
of the project.
One phase of the Rogue basin
proposal the Talent division
is already under copstruction. It
was approved after divergent in
terests agreed that it was non
controversial. Action on the full program,
however, originally estimated to
bring some 74,p00 acres under
irrigation at a cost of some S94
million, has never been taken
because of controversy over the
possibility of damage to the
Rogue sports fishery.
At the Medford hearing, it
was apparent that the contro
versy between irrigation, recla
mation and flood controi inter
ests, on one hand, and recreation
ists and fish and wildlife enthus
iasts, on the other, is far from
settled. 0
The Washington3 story, carried
by United Press, did not make
clear whether Lineweaver was
quoting members of the com
mittee, or whether his statement
was his own opinion.
Studies involving the Rogue
basin, ordered to be renewed
after last . winter's floods, are
still in progress by botiP the
bureau of reclamation and the
corps of Army engineers, neither
of which have as yet issued re
ports. Both have emphasized
that the interests of all parties
will be considered in their
studies.

Claim Victory
In Sinai Desert
oAllied Headquarters
Dispute Ship Claim
London - (u.r; The Suez
Canal is blocked by a ship sunk
by British and French bombers.
Egypt announced today.
Even as the British and
French stepped up their assaults
on Egyptian airfields and Israeli
forces claimed victory in the
Sinai Desert. Egyptian President
Gamal Abdel Nasser proclaimed
his defiance over Cairo Radio.
"Egypt will fight a total war
against the British-French-Israel
alliance to defend her freedom
and independence," he said.
The blocking of the canal was
disclosed by an Egyptian com
munique. 'Britain and France have
blocked Suez Canal navigation
at a time when they have arous
ed the whole world by claiming
they are protecting canal navi
gation," the communique said.
Dispute Egyptian Claim
Allied headquarters on Cyprus
disputed the Egyptian claim.
An official announcement said
the Egyptians themselves had at
tempted to tow the ship into a
sinking position athwart Lake
Timsah halfway down the canal.
British naval aircraft attacked
it twice and sank it on the sec- 1
ond attempt. Headquarters be
lieved it was clear of the chan
nel outside the demarcation

Cairo its eighth air raid alert.
Carrier-based planes had join
ed jet bombers streaming from
Cyprus bases in the round the
clock assault, striking at nine
Egyptian airbases in both high
and low level attacks. Four of
the bases were around Cairo and
Alexandria and the remainder
around the Canal Zone and the
Delta. o
A French source said com
bined fleets were approfthing
the canal from both its north and
south ends, apparently in prep
aration for amphibious landings
to seize the canal zone.
Israel Claims Victory
In the Sinai Desert, Israel
claimed to have cut off the 20
mile Gaza Strip from the rest of
Egypt and to have bottled up
some 20,000 of the cream of
Egypt's army. Reports in Lon
don placed other Israeli forces
within 20 miles of the Suez Ca
nal in the south. Paratroops
were being used.
Gen. Sir Charles Keightley,
commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French
forces, said the aerial
assault will continue until Egypt
"sees reason."
But Nasser showed no signs of
quitting.
"Egypt will fight and fight
and never surrender," he said.
"We will fight from village to
village and place to place."
He indicated that Egypt will
pull its forces back from the
Sinai Desert to consolidate west
of the canal. He made it clear
that Egypt will fight a guerilla
as well as an organized war.
Weapons are being distributed
to the population.
Both the fighting and its at
tendant diplomatic activity were
spreading.
Russia Calls Meeting
At United Nations, New York,
an Egyptian spokesman' charged
that British and French planes
were operating from Israeli air
fields. In Moscow, Russian Premier
Nikolai Bulganin called for a
new conference of the 29 Ban
dung conference nations to plan
aid for Egypt. It was regarded
as a Soviet move to gain leader
ship of the Afro-Asian bloc, to
tally sympathetic to Egypt.
Bulganin also addressed a note
to President Eisenhower.
