1 LONDON, Uf>—The British gov
ernment announced yesterday its
policy calls for a “phased with
drawal” of British forces from
Egypt.
The United Nations last Satur
day called for immediate and total
withdrawal of British, French and
Israeli forces.
Lord Salisbury, the government
leader in the House of Lords, told
the upper chamber last night:
“Our policy is that of a phased
withdrawal. . . I understand that
a battalion has already left.”
Shortly before Salisbury spoke,
Foreign Secretary Seiwyn Lloyd
told the House of Commons he
was deferring a final statement on
withdrawal pending consultations
here today with French Foreign
Secretary Christian Pineau.
Lloyd declared, “Obviously the
buildup of the (iU.N.) force must
have an important relationship to
a phased withdrawal of ouu own
and French troops.”
A qualified informant said {he
British plan is to begin within a
few days a withdrawal in stages,
but to leave behind a Royal Navy
unit arid civilian salvage experts
who would help the United Na
tions clear the Suez Canal.
Lloyd told the House:
“The U.N. force has now been
constituted and is growing in
numbers, and I pay tribute to the
speed with which the secretary
general and his advisers have act
ed. By Dec. 1, there will be about
2,700 men in Egypt and within
14 days there should be 4,400,
among which will be some 700
Canadian troops.”

U.S. ‘Determined’
To Use A-Weapons
Against Aggression
NEW YORK, (fl—Secretary of
the Air Force Quarles has reaf
firmed the “determination” of the
United States to use nuclear
weapons if necessary against
Communist aggression.
Addressing 1,300 persons at a
dinner of the American Society of
mechanical engineers. Quarles al
so declared Wednesday night:
“Any thought that under pres
ent conditions nations will rule
out a nuclear war or any other
kind of war on moral grounds ig
nores the lessons of history, some
of which are recent history.”
Aides of Quarles said his refer
ence to the lessons of “recent his
tory” was aimed at Russia’s use
of force to crush the Hungarians.
Quarles said the U.S. Air Force
has “at this time a clear margin
of qualitative superiority over
Communist military strength,”
both in personnel and equipment.
He said the U.S. Air Force “has
approximately 1,000 planes in the
air every minute around the
clock” in simulated strategic and
tactical bomb runs, air defense,
rescue and transport missions.
