Yugoslavia Helptng Communist
Countries Ship Arms to Egypt
VIENNA (JTA)—Large transports of arms from Czecho-
slovakia destined for Egypt are passing through Austria, en
route to the Yugoslav port of Fiume, it was reported here.
Austrian authorities declared that they are not in a position
to hinder these transports since they are sent in sealed cars
and in full compliance with existing international transit
regulations.
Well-informed sources here also stated that Soviet jet
fighters of the MIG 15 type, which were used in the Korean
war, as well as two-motored light bombers able to fly 500
miles per hour, are flying from Hungarian airports to Egypt,
the pilots being partly from Communist countries and partly
Egyptians trained in Czechoslovakia.
Western diplomats term the shipment of Communist arms
to Egypt through Yugoslav ports on Yugoslav ships "a mas-
terpiece of Tito's double-edged policy." They point out that
on one hand Tito discusses with U. S. Secretary of State
Foster Dulles the maintenance of peace in the Middle East,
while on the other hand he undermines the Western defense
system against Communism by permitting the use of Fiume
as the port for trans-shipment of Communist arms to Egypt.

France Sends Inferior Jets to Israel;
Continues Arming of Arab Countries
PARIS (JTA) — The French
Foreign OffiCe denied Italian re-
ports that French Mystere jet
planes were en route to Israel,
but authorized French sources
meanwhile revealed that an un-
disclosed number of French "Our-
agon" fighter planes have been
sold to Israel.
It was considered possible that
the "Ouragon" planes were mis-
taken for Mysteres at Rome. The
"Ouragon" is outclassed by the
Mystere and is considerably be-
hind the MIG 15 Soviet jets pi:o-
vided to Egypt. The top speed of
the "Ouragon" is 550 miles per
hour. The French manufactured
350, and are now discarding them
in favor of - the Mystere.
Astonishment at the - position
taken by France-with the resump-
tion of arms shipments to, Egypt
was expressed here by a member'
of the National Assembly's for-
eign affairs committee when For-
eign Minister Antoine Pinay ap-
peared before that body.
The deputy, Arthur Comte of
Perpignan, said that he regretted
the resumption of arms delivery.
Pinay replied that the delivery
of arms to Israel had not been
stopped and that arms were con-
tin.uing to flow from France to
both sides.
Increased sympathy for Israel's
situation is being expressed in
parliamentary circles here, in the
face of the resumption of French
arms shipmentS to Egypt. A non-
Jewish Radical Party-deputy has
formed a France-ISrael aisocia-
:tiOn, on his own initigive. The
.association is - circulating a peti-
tion -asking for ,aid to Israel.

Israeli On Peace Mission
Shot Down By Arabs
JERUSALEM (JTA)—A volley
of shots by Arab Legionnaires
just before midnight Sunday
ended a one-man peace mission
and the life of Joseph Cohen, 30-
year-old citizen of Israel.
The ragged volley killed Cohen
outright and turned the white
flag of truce which he was Carry-
ing into a bloodied shroud.
Cohen, father of four children,
was born in the Old City of
Jerusalein but had lived in Tel
Aviv since the War of Libera-
:tion, which saw the Old City
overrun and occupied by Jordan
forces. In his oneTnian peade mis7
sion he had already called on
Premier David Ben-Gurion and
upon Maj. Gen. E. L; M. Burns,
UN peace superyisor, whose aid
he sought in: reaching King Hus-
sein orJordan. If he could only
speak with the Arab king, Cohen
believed, he would be - able to
bring about peace between Israel
and Jordan.
Sunday night, apparently with-
out consulting any authorities,
Cohen embarked upon his jour-
ney across no-man's-land in the
vicinity of the Damascus Gate.
