UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., April 26 (ff) —The United
States accepted Egypt’s new Suez Canal plan on a trial basis
today even though not fully satisfied with it.
U. S. De legate Henry Cabot Lodge told the UN Security
Council Egypt’s 1000-word dee
way, registered with the UN
Mid-East States
Warned by U.S.
About Violence
WASHINGTON, April 26 (£>)—!
The United States disclosed to-j
day it has urgently cautioned Sy
ria, Egypt, Israel and other gov
ernments against any drastic ac
tion which might further inflame
the Jordan crisis.
The State Department reported
this newest'. move to bolster
young King Hussein’s hand amid
unconfirmed rumors that Rus
sian volunters might back up
forces seeking to topple him.
Top officials expressed doubt
Kremlin leaders would risk any
such thinly disguised interven
tion in the Middle East lest it
set off a major military explo
sion.
A State Department spokes
man said U.S. diplomats had
urged “caution and prudence” on
many governments, particularly
those near Jordan. He identified
Syria, Egypt and Israel as among
the countries contacted and hint
ed Russia also had been ap
proached.
American ambassadors have
made these points, said press of
ficer Lincoln White: 1. the inde
pendence and integrity of Jordan
is “vital” as President Eisenhow
■er stated from Augusta Wednes
day and that 2. “prudence should
te exercised by all.”

3rd Spy Suspect Confesses
To Red Espionage Charges
NEW YORK (JP) —Jacob Albam, accused member of a
Soviet spy ring, today pleaded guilty to conspiring with
Russians to obtain U.S. defense data-for transmission to
Russia.
Albam, 64, was the third member of an espionage ring
seized by the FBI early this year
to confess his guilt.
His action came 16 days after
two cohorts in the plot. Jack
Soble, 53, and Soble’s wife, Myra,
52, entered similar pleas, and
threw themselves on the mercy
of the court.
By so doing, they apparently
sought to escape a death penalty.
Federal Judge Hichard H. Le
vet,' who received the pleas from
all three, set next Friday for
sentencing them. Each could get
up to 10 years'.in prison and a
fine 0f.510,000 or both.
■ Indicted on Six Counts
The trio, all refugees from the
Iron Curtain, were charged on a
six-count indictment, detailing
spy activities here and abroad.
Their pleas of guilty were to
