Vyshinsky Backs Egypt,

Says Al Misri

The

Cairo, Nov. 27. independent newspaper Al Misri said today that Russia's Foreign Minister,' Andrel Vyshinsky, has promised to sup- port Egypt's demands that the British evacuate the Suez Canal Zone.

In what it described As an exclusive interview with ME Vyshinsky at Lake Success, the paper quoted the Soviet Foreign Minister as saying: "In every action the Egyptian Government and people wish to take to oust the British forces, they will find the Soviet Union invariably on their side."

The paper said Mr Vyshinsky emphasised Russia's interest in the Middle East, and that he added: "All we hope for in this area is to see it advancing rapid- ly towards the complete in- dependence which it desires."- United Press.
