Dull's Hints Importance
Of Suez Plan Revisions
WASHINGTON, April 2 (M—Secretary of . State John
Foster Dulles gave notice today that Western confidence in
Egypt's wo 'd might hinge on whether President Gamal Ab
del Nasserccepts American revisions in the Egyptian plan
for operaf g the Suez Canal.
ult
Developme is within the next
24 to 48 hour , he said, should de
termine whe her Egypt is ready
to engage in serious negotiations.
U.S. C anges Noted • '
At a new- conference, Dulles
reported the American govern
ment suggested in a note Sunday
a number of specific changes in
Egypt's newest plan for operating
the waterway it seized last July
26. He refused to disclose the pro
posed changes.
Some of these revisions, he said,
are "minor" but they would bind
Egypt to arbitrate future disputes
and uphold promises to canal
- users more than present Egyptian
proposals do.
Western Decision
Dulles called on Egypt to recog
nize that - its answer would great
ly influence Western nations in
deciding whether the canal could
be counted on as a reliable trans
portation route in the future.
This remark was viewed as a
veiled hint the West would press
forward more vigorously with
plans for supertankers which
would bypass Ithe canal and for
new pipelines to haul Middle East
oil.
Aid at Stake
Dulles also made clear that re
newal of American aid to Egypt
to help "uplift standards" might
be at •stake in the Egyptian atti
tude.
The secretary sought, however,
to assure the Egyptians this gov
ernment would not "shoot its way
through" the canal or join in a
deliberate boycott in event the
eight-months-long Suez deadlock
continues.
Freighter Seeks
Suez Passage
SUEZ, Egypt, April 2 (JP)—A
tramp freighter with a supply of
alternate national flags stood at
the south entrance to the Suez
Canal tonight awaiting permis
sion to go through. Its master
said the trip may start tomorrow
but he didn't say what flag it
will fly.
The ship is of Italian origin,
owned by a Greek firm with head
offices in Britain and chartered
by a Panama firm.
The ship's British flag was
hauled down at noon. A crewman
said this was done on advice of
Suez harbor police apparently to
prevent ruffling of Egyptian feel
ings.
The freighter is the 1592-ton
cargo ship Maria Vittoria.
Britain has told British ship
ping to stay out of the canal be
cause of navigation difficulties.
The. United States has also sug
gested that its shipping bypass
the canal.

Ike Says Lasting
Overrides Lower
WASHINGTON, April 2 (P) —President Eisenhower,
speaking informally to - a group of business leaders, said to
/daY a cut in taxes must take a back seat to the winning of a
lasting world peace.
"Much as we hate taxes," Eisenhower said, world peace
"is an objective that overrides
high taxes."
Addressing some 300 persons atj
the 13th annual conference of thel
Advertising Council, the President
said the search for peace must
always be the overriding objec- I
tive and every other objective
must "bend to that."
"The world must have peace
or we come close to the point
where we say it must perish,"
he told the group.
The Advertising Council, made
up of leaders in various fields of
business, helps the government
promote such public service ac
tivities as the sale of savings
bonds and enlistments in the
armed forces.
British Strike
Called to End
LONDON, April 2 (JP)—Union
bosses today called a halt to na
tionwide walkouts in Britain's
shipyards and factories and or
dered 1,700,000 strikers to return
to work Thursday.
The unions warned, however.
that the strikes will be resumed
if a government court of inquiry
which is to probe their wage de
mands returns an "unacceptable"
'decision.
The three-man court begins sit
ting tomorrow. Neither the unions
nor the employers have agreed to
accept its findings as binding.
The strikes, which began in the
shipyards 17 days ago and have
been snowballing since, have held
up work on 300 ships, and the
manufacture of planes, automo
biles, machinery, electrical and
atomic equipment—exports badly
needed by hard-up Britain. The
union had planned to pull an
other one and one-half million
men by this weekend. •

Storm Rages
In Colorado; 3
Counted Dead
DENVER, April 2 b-P) A para
lyzing spring storm, worst in 22
years, spewed up to 42 inches of
snow on Colorado today and dis
rupted power, communications
and travel throughout the Rocky
Mountain area.
Three deaths were attributed to
the storm. -
More than 24 hours of contin
uous snowfall left 16 inches of
moisture-laden snow in the Colo
rado capital and 42 inches at Rux
ton Park, on Pikes Peak outside
Colorado Springs. The Weather
Bureau predicted the snow would
continue through tonight and in
to tomorrow.
The storm lacked the fierce
winds of one ten days ago, which
killed thousands of cattle in an
eight-state area. But it bore tre
mendous moisture, and marked
what state and local officials
termed a significant break in a
years-long drought.
Late today, the wintry blast in
vaded Texas, New Mexico, Okla
homa, Kansas and Nebraska.
Showers and thunderstorms
struck parts of those states last
night, forerunners of the_ storm
which reached disaster propor
tions in some areas.
