that she can "defend herself

United Nations for c es with

the Egyptian embassy.
Salah el-Din said that he has
asked Secretary of Defense

He said that Egypt should be
supplied along with Iran, Tur-

Britain Protests Egypt's
Decision to Check Planes
LONDON (JTA)—The British
government is protesting against
the Egyptian - government's de-
cision to check passengers of
planes landing at a British mili-
tary airfield in the Suez Canal
zone as contrary to a 1936
treaty, a Foreign Office spokes-
man announced.
The British Parliament was
told by Minister of Immigration
Holt that property valued, at
pre - war rates, at 10,000,000
pounds and owned by the Tem-
plar Society—whose headquar-
ters are now in Australia—has
been frozen by the Israel gov-
ernment.
The society is composed of
Germans formerly residing in
Palestine. The Australian Gov-
ernment, Mr. Holt said, is press-
ing a "just settlement of the
Templars' claims."
