Rebel Fire Nicks
U.S. Transport
In Beirut, Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon, UP — Small
arms fire nicked a U.S. trans
port flying a load of American
troops into the Middle East Sat
urday amid a campaign of dire
warnings from President Nasser
and his Communist backers.
As the crisis moved toward a
verbal showdown in the U.N.
General Assembly, 1,700 U.S.
paratroopers began landing in
Beirut to support the 6,300 Mar
ines quietly patrolling Beirut’s
ports and beaches. f
The men flew into Beirut air
port over the section of the capi
tol held by pro-Nasser rebels.
Presumadly their bullets hit the
transport.
One bullet came within six
inches of T. Sgt. Norman J.
Charest, navigator of a Marine
transport • bringing men from
Camp LeJeune, N.C. The para
troopers commanded by Brig.
Gen. David W. Gray came from i
Germany after a stopover at
Adana, Turkey.
Nasser warned that bloodshed
might occur. He vowed that “we
will befriend those who befriend
us and meet aggression with ag
gression.”
Moscow and Peiping avoided
any definite promises of armed
aid to Nasser. The Soviet For
eign Ministry issued a declara
tion which warned, however,
that Russia cannot remain on the
sidelines.
The Soviet Union will have to
take “necessary measures dic
tated by the interests of the secur
ity of the Soviet Union and pres
ervation of general peace,” the
declaration said.
The measures were not spelled
out, although there was an omi
nous hint that Moslems in Soviet
Central Asia might intervene in
-the adjacent Middle East. There
was no repetition of the 1956
Suez crisis threats or sending
- Soviet “volunteers” into the
Middle East, however.
