SANCTIONS DRIVING EGYPT

TOWARDS SOVIET UNION

Nasser's Admission In

TV Interview

New York, Oct. 7.

Egypt is being driven toward the Soviet Union by Western economic sanctions President Gamal applied since the nationalisation of the Suez Canal, Egyptian Abdel Nasser said today.

British Foreign Secretary Selwyn His statement brought a warning from Lloyd that Egypt will be faced with "very grave risks" if it follows a course more friendly with Russia.

Filmed interviews with the two leaders were carried on Edward R. Murrow's "See it Now" television show on the Columbia Broadcasting System network.

Murrow first interviewed Nasser in Cairo. The Egyptian President said that he had no intention of closing the Canal to British shipping or raising the tolls. The Canal was nationalised, he said, to give Egypt complete independence from "the symbol of hate and colonialism-and that is the British occupation.”

AND IN THE SUEZ

THERE IS

A NEW KIND OF CRISIS

Port Said, Oct. 7. British shipping agents caught by the Suez crisis currency freeze are facing a complete break-down of vital services to ships transiting the Canal.

The agents, local contracting firms, and practically the entire population of the Suez Canal towns are watching their business dwindle as the currency freeze makes operations of all kinds more difficult by the day. Some firms here say they can continue living on credit and bank overdrafts for a few more months, but others say they will be forced to glose up shop in a matter of weeks.
