Intensive diplomatic activity to prevent an outbreak of war and provide the basis for a settlement of Arab-Israeli differences is un- der way. paralleling the military planning here and in London.

U. S. ambassador Henry By- roade is flying back to Cairo to talk with Egyptian premier Gamei Abdul Nasser after several weeks of conferences in Washington. By- roado succeeded in media- ing Western terms for American- British-World 'Bank financial help for the proposed Aswan dam in Egypt. Diplomats now believe that Nasser and the Western powers can strike a deal which will ea- clude Russia from that ambition undertaking.

ARMS REQUEST

Israeli ambassador Abba Eben has made an appointment for Mon- day with Assistant State Secretary George Allen to press for air provsl of Israel's arms request.

The state department has de- ferred action on an Israeli bid to buy 350,000,000 worth of U. 8. military equipment. Diplom- atic sources reported that Egypt has received from Communist Czechoslovakia 40 Russian - built llyushkin bomber and some are already fiyin -

Authorities here are moderately hopeful that the preventive part of the Eisenhower-Eden program will be sufficient. They seem con- vinced that the leaders of both Egypt and Israel would prefer to avoid new confll t . but popular tempera have been greatly excited by the Czech-Egyptian arms deal and by border clashes.

U. S. officials clearly hope that no action which might involve a need for American ground forces will become necessary. However should an emergency arise top officials say privately that the commitment of U. S. troo s would

have to be quickly conai erred.

Miss Eliza Dunn, 99 years of age. was burned to death at Bed- eque last Saturday afternoon in a fire that completely destroyed the home where she lived alone.

Shortly after the fire was dis covered, neighbours who arrived at the scene recovered the badly burn- ed body of the elderlytlady from where it lay near a kitchen en- trance to the front of the house. but were unable to extinguish the fire which apparently had origin- ated in the kitchen.

The top of a coal burning stove in the kitchen - the only stove being used in the house that day- was in a raised position. and it is presumed that the clothing of the deceased caught fire when she was adding fuel to the stove. result- ing in her collapse near the door in an ” help. A next door neighbour. Lloyd Affleck. had driven past the house about fifteen minutes previous to the alarm. and being in the habit of watchful concern for the old lady, observed nothing ' ex- cept that she was not seated in front of the window as she fre- quently had been. -

OBSERVED SMOKE

Among those that were first to observe smoke seeping from the burning home were two teenagers, Allen Maclsaac and Joyce Folland, who were shovelllng snow from around a car within sight of the house. and on running to the scene of the fire they discovered Miss Dunn was beyond help. and that the flames were making ra- id headway within the two-storey home which was situated on a road at the east side of Bedeque village leading from the paved highway to Affleck's mill. and gen- erally to as the Mill ltoall; t

Neighbours who quickly gathered

Mollet Makes Dramatic Bid To Avert War

ALGIERS (Reuters) - Four French Foreign Legion battalions ” and 2,000 extra riot police moved into Algiers Sunday night as added security for today's arrival of French Premier Guy Mollet.

Mollet is making a dramatic per- sonal bid to prevent "another Indo- china wnr" in Algeria.

Ending the' bloodshed and vio- lence in this war-torn land is the most pressing problem facing Mol- let's new minority government. The new premier said he is wil- ling to spend three weeks here if necessary.

He faces bitter argument and criticism as soon as he arrives from Paris. In his first three days he must overcome the violent op- position of the territoryis French settlers to his appointment of Gen. Georges Catroux as resident-gen

eral.

Catroux follows Mullet in Algiers Thursday for his official installa- tion. There have been promises of violent demonstrations when he ar- rives because French settlers con- sider he has a reputation for mak- ing too many concessions to na- tionalist demands. i

HAS HUGE TASK

Mallet must convince the 1,500,- 000 Europeans and the 9,000,000. Moslems in Algeria that a big po- litical change is necessary to pre- vent another lndochina war and he must make clear that the French admit the rebel army is at least 15.000 strong.
