Egypt Rejects
Proposal to Split
Suez Canal Tolls
By WILTON WYNN
CAIRO, Egypt, UP) — Egypt re
jects a Western Big Three propo
sal for a neutral agency to col
lect Suez Canal tolls and split the
proceeds with Egypt 50-50, infor
mation director Abdel Kader Ha
tem said Saturday.
“The Egyptian government will
not accept any such proposal be
cause it violates Egypt’s rights ac
cording to the 1888 convention
on the Suez Canal,” Hatem said
in an interview. ,
The United States, Britain and
France told U. N. Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold last
month they favored payment of
1 tolls to the World Bank or some
other neutral international agen
cy when the canal gets back in
business.
The collection agency, under
their plan, would give Egypt half
the income for operating costs
and keep the rest until the toll
issue is finally settled. The tolls
used to gross about 100 million
dollars a year.
Hatem’s declaration came as
U. N. salvage authorities awaited
assent from Cairo to final clear
ance of the 103-mile-long water
way.

j For Stamp to Honor
j Judge Wickersham
Bv FRANK VAILLE
WASHINGTON, LT> — Secretary
of the Interior Seaton has joined
with Alaskans in serving issuance
of a commemorative postage
I stamp honoring Judge James
1 Wickersham.
j The proposed stamp would be
] issued Aug. 24 to mark the 100th
anniversary of the famed Alas
] kan’s birth.
j| In notifying Delegate Bartlett
^ (D-Alaska) of his backing for the
; proposal, Seaton—who recently
> returned from Alaska—said no
j one could go there “without hear
| ing of the effect this indefatigable
I man had in the territory.”
Seaton urged Postmaster Gen
eral Summerfield to approve is
suance of the stamp to honor a
“truly great American” whom he
described as being “as fabulous
as the territory itself.” Seaton
also suggested that first day sale
of the stamp be made in Alaska.
Wickersham was Alaska’s first
judge, newspaper publisher and
delegate to Congress. In his lat
j ter capacity, he was also the ter
ritory’s first official advocate of
j statehood.
