Egyptians Protest Terms Of Financial Aid For Dam for her philan- ,9 the economic control strings at- tached to the offer by the World Bank. Unless the difficulties can be re- solved. this poses a serious threat in the British-U.S. offer to help build what would be one of the world's greatest dams and thus. it is hoped, deliver a setback to Rus- sian designs on Egypt. The Communists. through Czech- oslovakia. already are supplying planes and tanks to Egypt. and Moscow is reported by diplomatic sources to be prepared to put 5250.- 000,000 or more into the dam pro- ct. Nasser therefore has a choice be- tween Moscow and Washington in this instance. U.S. officials under- stand he would prefer to deal with London and Washington but may take on the Moscow offer if he re- gards such a step as ipecessary. BANKS ASKS CONTROLS U.S. Ambassadur Henry Byroade is due to leave Cairo today for two weeks of consultations here. Britain and the United States in- formed Nasser three weeks ago they were ready to give Egypt 370,000,000 as a starter for con- struction of a great dam. a hydro- electric and irrigation project. on the Nile river at Aswan.

The Egyptians say they need around S-400,000,000 in foreign financing. Under the Western plan Britain and the United States would jointly put up about 3200,000.000 and the World Bank would give Egypt long-term loan for a similar amount. But the hank has tentatively at- tached certain conditions. One is that some controls and watchdog procedures should be permitted the bank -in the management of Egypt's economy. The bank's posi- tion is that it wants to be sure that economic practices which it considers unsound will not jeopar- dize its loan. Nasser is reported to have told Byroade bluntly he considers that an unnecessary l n t r u s i on into Egypt's affairs and in some re- spects a demand infringing on Egypt's sovereignty. He made it clear he would not have anything to do with the loan unless the undertaken, is estimated to cost around h1.300,000,000 during per- bank's requirements were substan- tially modified. ...,W7mh' 7 Eager, rarin'-to-go new Hy-Fire V-8 adds the feel of flight to the Forward Look Everywhere you travel, you see more and more proud owners driving this jet-age beautyl The flight-styled '56 Plymouth is the car that has Canada's head in the clouds!
