Asking Egypt to Halt Suez Blockade
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. —
NEW YORK, (AJP)—A grave
new threat to Israel was dis- CJTA) — The United States,
closed in a report by a leading Britain and France agreed on
the text of a resolution to be
submitted to the Security Coun-
cil when it resumes considera-
tion of the Israeli complaint
against Egypt, provjsied that in
the interim no indication is re-
ceived that Egypt will act vol-
untarily to lift its blockade at
the Suez Canal of shipping
bound for Israel.
This resolution will "request"
Egypt to raise its blockade and
will place the Council on record
as holding the blockade to be
wrong. It would thus, in the
opinion of observers, condemn
the Egyptian blockade morally,
and legally make the Council's
position clear.

pass through the Suez Canal to
the Haifa refineries on condi-

Britain refused to go along. The
report stated that Britain in-

Security Council of its resolution
calling for an end to the Suez
blockade is undesirable.
