U.S. Cheered Russia Is A Cool To Egyptian Project WASHINGTON (AP)-State tie partment officials were greatly cheered Sunday by evidence that Moscow may be as reluctant as Washington and London to help Egypt build the Aswan Darn. If so. this means Secretary of State Dulles has a fair chance to win his gamble that Russia would not necessarily move in and take over after last week's withdrawal of a western offer on the Nile River project. it would also mean that Egyp- tian President Nasser is caught In an international political squeeze from which he may have great difficulty escaping without serious damage to his prestige as an Arab loader and a growing power in the Middle East.

Stuble churned his finned feet through the final mile in a heavy downpour. Small pleasure craft sounded their klaxons and sirens as he neared his goal. "Hey!" Struble shouted as he took a. shower in a bath house. "how about a dozen hamburgers or cheeseburgers." When photographers asked him how he felt.Struble grabbed a bar in the shower and ehinned himself several times. He said he would next like to swim the English Channel both ways in the samedey. Grand River Man Drowned In Accident At Mill River A drowning accident at Mill River yesterday afternoon claimed the life of James Peter Curley, 25. of Grand River. The accident occurred as the young man and several boys were sitting in an anchored row boat. which was swinging in and out; from the shore. At the time Mr. Curley entered the host it was in comparatively shallow water and could be reached by wading with- out difficulty but on attempting to return to shore the accident victim apparently let go of the boat on the outer part of its swing in water over thirty feet deep. A number of people in the vi- cinityiattempled to be of assist- ance but about fifteen minutes elapsed before the body was re- covered by David Broderick of Alberton. who was not at the scene when the young man dis- appeared.

Whether this Russian attitude will hold up if Nasser pleads with Moscow for assistance no one would predict.

Poland P WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland Sunday paraded her military might before Russian Premier Nikolai Bulganan, who flew here Saturday to aim diarp criticism at restive elements in the Com- munist world. Lines of leg-swinging soldiers. and sailors and masses of trucks and artillery passed before the Soviet while jet planes with swsptback delta wings screamed overhead. T Thousands of persons crowded into Warsaw's central Stalin Square to watch the parade. which lasted an hour and a half and included a youth parade of boy and girl athletes. The parade was an impressive demonstration of military strength for a country of only 27,000,000 persons. But foreign observers saw in its size and costliness one of the reasons why Poland's stan- dard of living is low and why the country is meeting nomic dif- ficulties in both industry and agriculture.

Poland announced in Septem- her. 1055. that she would reduce her forces by 47,000 men within three months. The parade marked Poland's National Liberation Day, the oc- caslon for which Bulganin was said to have made his unexpected visit Saturday. Short-lyg PIUC his arrival by air. the-Sovi leader lashed out at "opportunists and wavering el- unents" in Communist countries who made hostile statements to the press. He included the press of Poland in his criticism. Bulganin charged that the Com- munist leadershlpls attempt to stamp out the "cult of the individ- ual" promoted by Stalin was being exploited by persons who wanted to break up the solidarity of Communist countries under the pertext of national differences. Bulganin's visit follows by only three weeks the "We want bread” roits at Poznan. in which 53 per- sons were killed and about 270 injured.
