Sabre lets landed at nearby part- mouth Thursday five hours and 8 seconds after leaving Vancouver to set a cross-Canada speed re- cord. They chopped one hour and 1: minutes off the old record of six hours and 13 minutes set by a T-33 jet trainer last January. The planes took off from the Sea Island air force base at Van- couver at 10:58 e.m. ADT (0:58 a.m. PDT) and arrived here at 3:58.30 p.m. ADT. Th! flight was an RCAF air it'll!-8P0l't command experiment in rapid trans-Canada deployment of jet aircraft and was carried out by the overseas ferry unit. Four lets toook part. two making only one refueling stop at Gimll, Mall-. and the other two stopping at Glmli and St. Hubert. near Montreel. The last two planes ar- rived here 12 minutes and 30 see onds after the record-setters. The first pilots to land were Flt. Lt. Ralph ii. Annie. 25. flight leader, of McAdam. N.B., and F0 1!. J. Childerhose. 27, of Arcnla. Sesk. The other two were F0 Bruce Merklinger, 24, Oakville, 0nt.. and Flt. Lt. B. J. McComle- lley. 27. Granby. Que. The pilots said they averaged 570 miles an hour but didn't hit the jet stream. a high altitude westerly air flow that sometimes gives aircraft a boost in speed. Winds were favorable all the way. The aircraft are normally sta- tioned at St. Hubert. The pilots said the weather was good except for a brief rainstorm near Vancouver. F0 Childerhose said this "was one of the thrills of a lifetime. An unexpected chance that hap- pened to fall on us. I expect the" speed record set. . .will stand for a year or more." "The sabre VI fighter is the fastest plane in Canada today and a replacement for it has yet to be named. Possibly the CFl05 will be the next Canadian record holder." Flt. Lt. Annie joined the RCA! in October 1048 and was a radar t”” beforet l apl- lot and joining the 441 Fighter Squadron at North Luffenham. I I I , . . -'1 . .. J. V g . Next Week In Suez Crisis” LONDON (AP)-Frencli troops and arms descended on the Brit- ish isle of rue Thursday for service as n ed in the Suez cri- sis. They arrived as tension mounted on the political front in a chal- lenge from Egypt's President Nes- ser to statements made Wednes- day by President Eisenhower and State. Sccrtary Dulles. Nasser contended neither was right in stating the Suez Canal is physically international in charac- ter by treaty. And in this atmosphere of still mounting tension, the British for- eign office announced the 15-na- tlon North Atlantic Council will meet in Paris Wednesday "to con- sider the Suez Canal question." TROOPS ARRIVE In Cairo, President Nasser sum- moned U.S. Ambassador Henry Byroade to "express regret" at President Eisenhower's termlng the canal "internationalized by the treaty oi 1888." Nasser re- peated to the ambassador his con- tention that the canal is an Inte- gral part of Egypt and subject to Egyptian sovereignty. An official communique issued in Cyprus. the British military base less than two flying hours from Egypt. said "first elements of French troops to be stationed in Cyprus have arrived here by air tonight " Earlier. Can. Sir Cbarlesl Keightley. commander in chief of British land forces in the Middle EB-St. flew to Cyprus from top level talks in London. bringing with him two French officers. an army captain and a navy lieuten- ant commander. The French cargo ship Aulne anchored off Famagusta. the deep Water Dori on Cyprus' east shore. Reports from there said it car- ried milltary supplies and about 150 troops. Eighteen countries, including Britain and France, support the plan for turning over the 103-mile waterway to international control. Nasser has ' J" t J rcpeatedl, that he will reject any interna- tional control, but has agreed to meet the committee. BRITISH SHIP BOMBED Preparing for any trouble that might develop from this situation, Britain has given France a base on the eastern Mediterranean is- land b a s t l o n, where British strength already has been greatly increased. While the double military build- up progressed in the eastern Med- iterranean. the Brltish rulers of Cyprus were faced with fresh out- breaks by rebelllous Greek Cyp- riots demanding an end to colon- ial rule and union with Greece. FRANCE HURRIES moors TO cvriius -TO Counci An explosion damaged a British tank landing ship in Fameguste harbor near the ancho t' French ship Aulne. In a diplomatic cold war. Bril- ain ordered two attaches of the E8YDt.lan embassy here to leave the country within 72 hours. The order retaliated for EBYPI-I811 President Nasser's expulsion of two British diplomats among seven Britons in Cairo whom Egypt accused of spying. The Egyptian attaches are Ab delsalam Kafifl and Hamdi Mo- '- d Nassel. The Britons ex- pelled were first secretaries J.B, Flux and J. G Gove. The five - nation committee as Australian Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies held another meeting here in pump" the assignm t given at the W-nation Suez con- ference ended in London a week ago. It will meet again today. fly to Cairo Sunday and meet Nasser there Monday. PLAN NEXT MOVES The foreign office announce- ment of the meeting of the NATO Council. top body of the 15-nation North AAEI Treaty' Organiza- tion. said Foreign Secretary Sel- wyn Lloyd would attend. It was presumed Britain and France will tell their allies what they plan to do if the talks with Nasser break down. The reports of troop movements came within hours of the an- nouncement in Paris and London that Britain had agreed France might station troops temporarily said France wanted to be able- because of events in Egypt and the Suez Canal Zone-to assure "protection of French nationals and of their Interests in the east- ern Mediterranean." Subsequently Sir George Young. foreign office spokesman. told a press conference the move should be viewed not as coercive but as precautionary. He denied Britain. had made any commitment for joint military action with France. He said he knew of no plans to set up a joint command. The Paris newspaper France- Soir. said more than 5,000 French troops will leave Marsellle in the next two days bound for an "un- known destination." Usually well-informed sources in Algiers said that about 3.000 French paratroopers and foreign legionnaires sailed Wednesday from Algeria for an undisclosed destination. V. K.
