During War Anglo-Egyptian Talks

US TO ASK FOR AGREEMENT

Washington, Jan. 31.

The State and Defence Departments have told a Congressional committee there would be no problems regarding the use of American bases in Spain in the event of international difficulties.

These departments added, however, an agree- ment should be reached previously with the Madrid Government.

The summary published today of a recent Hours Appropriations Committee meeting held in camera also showed the Air Force has asked Congress for a credit of $40,000,000 with which to begin work on the four American air bases in Spain to be built at Torejon near Madrid, at El Copero and Moron de la Frontera, both near Seville, and at the military airfield at San- jurjo near Saragossa.

The Sunday Times anid today in an edtiorial that the Anglo- Egyptian talks had come to a dead end,

Is is almost certainly no longer 'true' of the Brynian government: rightly or wrongly, they appear to prefer the prospect of a breakdown to the internal risks of further compromise.

Whether it is still true of the British government is for them to, coulder, and to decide without further procrastination. If they, too, prefer, breakdown to further compromise, they will have to take at once the measures required to cope with the breakdown's consequences. And they will have to convince the pabila bere..not only that the price asked was indeed too high for All the benefits of a long-term accord with Egypt, but also that they have a practicat nudeilizie plan in face of Implacable Egyptian hostility, both now and after 1956,

New Delhi, Jan. 31.

One hundred and two Indian princes have re- jected Prime Minister Pandit Nehru's appeal to cut down their personal incomes which range from £7,500 to £37,500 a year, it was announced today. In fact almost every prince has told Nehru how hard it is to live on his existing salary.
