Changes Opposed
Egyptian President Gamal Ab 7
del Nasser, according to informa
tion from diplomatic officials here,
turned down three major changes
which. Dulles had asked in a note
sent to Cairo last Sunday. Those
changes were designed to protect
the interests of user nations in
the operation of the canal to the
'greatest extent which Dulles con
sidered possible under the plan
proposed by Egypt a week ago.
The Egyptian rr i e p 1 y was re
ceived here Tuesday night. Dulles
had said at a news conference
Tuesday morning that he expect
ed to know within 24 to 48 hours
whether there was any chance for
serious negotiation with Egypt on
the Suez issue.
Response Discouraging
The 48-hour period expired to

here was that the Egyptian re
sponse really offered no solid
basis for hope that serious nego
tiation with Egypt on the Suez
issue.

Hare in Cairo, has not yet given
up all hope of getting some modi
