Egypt Accepts
Russian Offer
To Supply Arms
LONDON, (jP)—Egypt has in
formed Britain that she has ac
cepted a Russian offer to supply
her with arms and military equip
ment, the Foreign Office said yes
terday.
Foreign Secretary MacMillan
will discuss this development with
U.S. Secretary of State Dulles
during their meetings now taking
place in New York, a spokesman
told a Foreign Office news con
ference.
The U.S., Britain and France
are bound under a 1950 declara
tion to maintain the military bal
ance of powes—and to prevent an
outright arms race—between the
Arab countries of the Middle East
and Israel.
The Foreign Office spokesman
said he could not give the precise
nature of Russia’s offer or of the
arrangement which Egypt has ac
cepted.
The Big Three western powers
will reconsider their own policy
of supplying arms to Egypt in the
light of Russia’s entry into the
Middle East scene, the British of
ficials said.

89, die^ in Ashley, Ore., on Aug.
5. He was a well-known ex-gold
miner and cowboy companion of

visit. In 1910 the Whitneys went
to Seward and enjoyed a trip on
the Kenai River in a small boat.

woman to land on the site of the
present city of Anchorage at that
time. Anchorage was started in
1915.
