Raft Makes . Radio Contact With France

BREST. France (Reuters)- Three men on I raft. who have rocked and bobbed across the At- lantic since they left Halifax in May. Friday night made radio contact with amateur shortwave radio operators on the Brittany coast. northwest France.

The adventurous three. French- man Henrl Beaudont and C dians Gaston Vanckere and are Modenn. spoke for a few swift moments with Brittany "hams."

The raft. the l'Egare II. is made of 40-foot cedar logs flim- sily lashed together with rope.

Raft and crew left Halifax about three months ago trusting to chance winds and the Gulf Stream to push them across the Atlantic to Europe.

Under French law.- radio operators can stay on the air for a short period of time only. unless they are sending an urgent uessage. But they had time to hear an ”all's well" from the raft. ,

The rIft's position last Weduup;-.

A key question before the con- ference was that action should be taken if Egypt should reject the

port from the conference. Egypt-

ian President Gamnl Abdel Nas- ser said Saturday he woul never accept international control of the canal. -'

Indications S night were that Dulles was g a "soft" line on this qu&lon. It was

learned that he opposed giving Egypt any time limit for action on the Western proposal.

"We will issue no ultimatum." Dulles was reported to have told his staff. "We do not do business

that way." Shigemitsu said Dulles told him: "We have no intention of

forcing this plan on Egypt. But we believe it contains the min- imum cgndltions acceptable to all parties concerned." ,
