WASHINGTON (JTA) — Presi-
dent Nasser of Egypt, in the
course of his visit to Moscow,
sought additional military assist-
ance, including ultra-modern wea-
pons of types not yet available to
Egypt, according to reports re-
ceived here.
In line with Egyptian efforts to
obtain greater Soviet backing and
more sophisticated weapons, Nas-
ser has, since his arrival in Mos-
cow, more openly identified with
the pro-Communist, anti-Ameri-
can line on Vietnam, the reports
stated.
According to reliable inter-
pretations, Nasser sought addi-
tional equipment from Russia,
including certain types of mis-
siles and weapons systems which
the Russians have so far not ex-
ported to Egypt, and which Ger-
man technicians in Cairo have
not yet perfected.
Rep. William Fitz Ryan, New
York Democrat, Monday com-
mented on the danger of a "one-
sided escalation" in the Near East.
He called on the administration to
observe developments at the pres-
ent Egyptian-Soviet summit "with
caution and concern."
He questioned the wisdom of
further American assistance to
Egypt "if such aid allows diversion
of other assets for acquisition and
introduction into the region of
even more dangerous arms."

LONDON—The executive coun-
cil of the Jewish Social and Cul-

decided that restoration of Jewish
cemeteries in Poland, many of
them targets of Nazi desecration,
was the duty of all Jews and not
merely of Jews in Poland, it was
reported here Tuesday from War-

where Jews no longer live.
The executive council also de-
cided to call a special meeting in
October to deal with the tasks of
repair and restoration. The coun-

to help.
