Egyptians Ask For U.S. Aid

Washington,, Sept. 3-An Egyptian request to the United States to send a mission to aid in modernising the Egyptian Army and Air Force was among subjects discussed when Mahmoud Fahmy El Nokrashy Pasha, the Egyptian Prime Minister, called today on Mr Kenneth Royall, the United States Secretary for War, and Mr Robert Lovett, the Acting Secretary of State.

Mr Lovett said at his press conference before incet- ing the Egyptian Premier that the United States Govern- mont anticipated such a request from the Egyptians, but he stressed that there woro no plans for such action.
