NEW YORK (AP) - A comet discovered only last November will be -visible low in the northwestern evening sky for a week beginning Monday night.

The Hayden Planetarium said the comet will appear near the horizon about 90 minutes after sun- set and should be visible for about half an hour. Each succeeding evening it will be higher and be about as bright as the faintest of the seven stars in the Big Dipper.

British Beat Russia With Letters On Suez Situation

LONDON (Reuters)-The Brlt- printed in the Soviet night diam newspaper I

iah nvernment Monday closed that Russia warned Brit- ain and France not to attack Egypt seven weeks before British- grench intervention began in use.

The government released the texts of letters exchanged last September and October between the British prime minister Sir An- thony Eden and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganln.

In a letter dated Sept. 11. Bulganin referred to apparent French and British readiness to attack Egypt. and added: "The Soviet Union cannot stand aside from this question. We wish to

warn you in a friendly way as to co

the dangers which might follow. if the necessa y prudence is not shown."

In a reply five days later, Eden said Bulganin's letter seemed based on a "complete misconcep- tion of the position of the British government" and contained "cer- tain errors of fact."

BEAT BUBSIANS

British publication of the texts beat a promised Russian disclos-

aveetia ey.

A Soviet government spokesman Monday womised the letters would show that den lte Soviet warnings "certain clrces in Brit- ain and France. encourage: by the United States" planned "ag: gression" against Egypt.

The first letter from the Soviet premier. dated Sept. ll, said at- tempts were being made by Brit- ain and France to ignor ethe United Nations and its principles.

Referring to French units being in Cyprus and the apparent readi- ness of Britain and France to begin military action against Egypt. Bulganin asked:

"How can these actions be re-

" r with membership of the United Nations?"

DAMAGE TO CANAL

He went on to .say that such action would lead to tremendous damage of the canal itself. to oil- flelds and ,lpeiines. and added. "All the Arabs would rise in sacred struggle against the for- eign invasion. and this means that the material loss, particularly to Britain and France and for that matter to the whole of Europa

Bulganln's letter said the Brit- ish government, together with France and the United istatcs. continued to threaten Egypt. but said the soviet Union regarded favorably the fact that the Suez question was then under consider- ation by the United Nations Secur- ity Council. He wrote:

"We cannot help noting. how-

ever. that Britain and France in- tend to get. in the security coun- cil. in defiance of Egypt. approval of the plan of a canal users asso- cintion." The setting up of this associa- tion. Bulganin said. would mean a "gross violation of the 1888 con- vention and would infringe Egyp- tian sovereignty.”

Bulganin suggested that the question of the Suez Canal be examined by an appropriate com- mittee in the security council and said: "The effects of the policy

The letter urged Eden to "face

suggestion of inevitable war be- tween the free world and interna- tional communism. He said armed aggression is no longer "a pay- ing proposition."

In his first foreign policy speech of President Eisenhower's second term. Dulles counselled patience on many fronts - in the Middle East. those involving restless Red satellites behind the iron curtain, and on disarmament.

He rededicated the United States to the United Nations and its ideals of peace with Justice telling critics:

"That is no abdication of for- eign policy. It is the exercise of foreign policy. and its exercise in the way which represents the best hope for humanity."

TOUCITED WARFARE

Touching briefly on the horrors of modern warfare. Dulles told the annual Associated Press luncheon regarding deep differences be tween Russia and the free world:

"Indeed. history suggests that a conflict as basic as that dividing the world of freedom and the world of international communism ultimately erupts in war.

"That suggestion we reject. But hopes is not enough. We must also exert ourselves to the full to pre- vent it. To this task, the Ameri- can people must unswervingly dedicate their hearts and minds throughout the years ahead."

Mayflower Said Sailing Well

LONDON (AP) - Light north- westerly winds filled the sails of Mayflower II late Monday and nudged her along at four knots toward the New World.

The awkward little wooden ves- sel. built to look and sail like the barque which took th epllgrima to Plymouth, Mass.. in 16!). was 26 miles southwest of Lis.nrd'a head as night approached.

She was out of sight of land and sailing well, said a radio report picked up at land's end. The ship was veering west by southwest and "light northwesterly winds were with her." the report said.

The I80-ton vessel stands high in the water and is susceptible to heavy rolling and many among her 32-man crew were reported seasick.

For Allegiance

LONDON (Reuters) - Russia's decision to publish today the text of correspondence last fall be- tween Moscow, London and Paris. on the Suez crisis represents a determined bid for the allegiance of the uncommitted Arab world. observers here said Monday night.

Actually the British government made the exchange public Mon- day night, five hours after Mos- cow announccd it would release the correspondence today.

Main motive of Moscow's move is believed to have been strongly hinted by Soviet government spokesman Leoni Ilychcv. He re- ferred to he rejection last month by the West of Russia's call for a great power declaration of peace- ful intent in the Middle East.

' A further reason for the timing may be the imminence of a deci- sion in the drawn out Cairo talks on Suez management between Egypt and the United States.

British observers believe that by publishing the Bulganin exchanges when the Cairo talks are nearing a climax. the Soviet government has warned both Egypt and the Western World of the proposals by which it stands.

The s.ulTC!p0TldElICI opened by Bulganin Sept. 11 may have been motivated by the announcement from London and Paris Aug. 29 of the arrival in Cyprus of a con- tingent of French troops to pro- tect French nationals and interests during the Suez crisis.

The committee meeting in Nab- lus was its first since leftist Pre- mier Suleiman Nabulsl resigned at King Hussein's request 12 days ago. Nabulsi now is foreign min- ister in the Khalldi government.

The committee called for restor- ation of the military administra- tion as it was two weeks ago. be- fore the then army chief of staff. Ali Abu Nuwar, resigned. Arab sources outside Jordan described Nuwar as the leader of a military revolt crushed by the young mon- arch.

Referring to Cairo radio reports and hints by Nabulsi that there has been ”lnterference by diplo- matic missions" here. the commit- tee resolved the persons concerned should be punished.

PARTIAL CONTROL

The Israeli spokesman said King Hussein does not have complete control of the army and it still does not have a commander. But he said 1-Iusseln seemed to be in a stronger position, shown by his pushing through an invitation for President Eisenhower's envoy James P. Richards to visit the country.

The Israeli spokesman was scep- tlcnl of Cairo radio reports that Iraqi troops had entered Jordan. But Israeli intelligence sources in Tel Avlv reported that 2,000 Iraqi troops had moved up to the Jor- dan border.

An official source in Baghdad. Iraq. denied reports of the Egyp- tian Middle East News Agency saying the Iraqi forces crossed into Jordan and camped near El Mafraq. where Syrian troops are located.

Jordan also denied the report that Iraqi troivps entered Jordan Sunday.

A government spokesman said the report. circulated by the Egyp- tian government-sponsored Middle East News Agency's Amman cor- respondent, was "fabricated." The report also was denied in legi- dad. capital of Iraq.
