J —Daily Collegian Photo by E«gen« Carry A SLOW DAY at the polls and a dreary Tuesday afternoon was enough to make two business administration council members ratber sleepy while supervising the "voting" yesterday. This is exactly how the Collegian photographer found the two. reported, Nasser warned the Brit ish and French that Egypt will— in his words:—defend her dignity. This apparently meant the ex peditionary force may have to fight its way in. Defend Canal The announced aim of the Brit ish-French expedition is' to de fend the canal until the fighting between the invading Israelis and the Egyptians can be brought to an end. British and French navy fleets were moving in the eastern Medi terranean. Parachute troops of the two powers were poised on Cyprus. 250 miles from the canal. Eisenhower strove in urgent messages to the French and Brit ish governments to head off the troop movements. Neither Britain or' France consulted him in ad vance. ... Israel announced.it would bow to a French-British ultimatum to cease fire-provided Egypt agreed.. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE World Tension Israel’s reply came after Egypt rejected the ultimatum and vowed to keep fighting until the last Israeli is driven from Egyp tian soil. Fierce tank and air battles were reported from Egypt’s invaded Si nai Peninsula. There was no indi cation that either the ultimatum or the diplomatic maneuvering would check the fighting. The United States’ isolation from Britain and France in the Middle East crisis was under scored in the UN Security Coun cil in New York. Britain and France vetoed a U. S. cease-fire plan. They warn ed they would land troops in the canal zone. Egypt then officially asked the council to meet again to discuss “British and French aggression” Russia sided with the United States in the Security Council de bate. The veto was the first break among the Western Big Three on a major issue. ... fflollMtatt said they did not have instruc tions, abstained on the vote. It was the first time in United Nations history that the United States and its British and French allies disrupted their unity on such a major problem. First British Veto It was also the first time that Britain had used the veto. France had used it twice. The United States resolution called on Israel and Egypt to ob serve an immediate cease fire, for Israel to withdraw immediately to its borders, and for all outside power to refrain from the use of force in the area in any manner not consistent with the United Nations. The last provisions was aimed at the British and .French who persisted, in spite of a personal appeal from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in their plans to land troops at key points in the Suez Canal zone. Shipping Dangers Cited The British and French told the council that the fighting was en dangering shipping in the canal and they wanted only to station their forces there temporarily un til calm is restored. Britain and France gave Israel and Egypt an ultimatum to stop fighting by 11:30 p.m. EST tonight or they would land troops. Later they said they would send them in anyway. President Gamal Ab del Nasser of Egypt rejected the ultimatum. U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. denounced the ultima tum as not consistent with the principles and purposes of the U.N. Charter. Lodge Sits Stiff Lodge sat stiff and silent as the British and French delegates. Sir Pierson Dixon and Bernard Cor nut-Gentille, broke tne longstand ing Western unity of action. The Council convened in emerg ency session at the request of the United States. Delegates skipped their customary smiiing hand shakes as they sat down and were extremely grim-faced as country after country -called for immedi ate action. The Council chamber was packed with other delegates, their wives and some public for tunate enough to obtain a few tickets. W&J President Named New Head Of ACU Chapter Boyd C.
