Game 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.
