Effort Rejected By Egypt CAIRO: (Reuters)--Egypt re- jected five proposals by the) UN United States to settle the Mid-| dle East crisis, including a call for freedom of shipping in the Gulf of Aqaba,"the authoritative newspaper Al Ahram reported! today. | It was the first public men-| tion of detailed U.S. proposals communicated to the Egyptians on the crisis. Al Ahram said American Am- bassador-designate Richard H. Nolte made the five points in a meeting with Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad Tuesday. | Egypt specifically rejected) the American position, also voiced by President Johnson, that any restrictions on shipp- ing in the Gulf of Aqaba--where Egypt has barred Israeli ships --constituted an act of aggres- sion, the newspaper said. It/said Nolte suggested: 1. The United Nations Emer- gency Force -- which left the Egyptian - Israeli border at Egypt's request--should remain in the Gaza sector and the Sharm el Sheikh fortress domi- nating the Tiran Straits, ent- rance to the Gulf of Aqaba, pending a resolution from the 2. The Egyptians should not {send any forces to Sharm el Sheikh before guaranteeing freedom of shipping through the straits, and the U.S. considered any restrictions on shipping in the gulf an act of aggression that would have far-reaching consequences. 3. No Egyptian armed forces should enter the Gaza sector, a strip of Egyptian territory pro- truding into Israel manned by § UNEF after Israel temporarily occupied it in 1956. 4. The UN should be respon- sible for the administration of Gaza until the problem was settled. 5. The Egyptian military buildup in Sinai was dangerous and as a solution to the prob- lem, Egyptian forces should pull out of Sinai while Israeli troops in the Negev should be with- drawn to their previous posi- tions. The newspaper said Riad told Nolte Egypt has the right to block Israeli shipping in the gulf and prevent strategic materials from reaching Israel.

'Urgent Desire' In Russia To Defuse Situation In a related development, Foreign Secretary George Brown of Britain wound up talks with Soviet leaders in Moscow Israeli Envoy In Washington WASHINGTON (AP) -- For- eign Minister Abba Eban of Is- rael hopes President Johnson htm what the United States intends to do to open the Gulf of Aqaba to Israeli ship- ping if diplomatic efforts fail to end a_ threatened Egyptian blockade. Eban arrived here after talks with French President de Gaulle and British Prime Minister Wil- son. He immediately went into conferences with State Secre- tary Dean Rusk and other state department officials. He said the purpose of his ur- gent visit to the principal West- ern capitals was "to explore what the governments intend to Kosygin, do to open the waterway." and said he found the Russians had "an urgent desire to de- fuse the situation" in the Mid- die East. He left for London after conferences with Premier President Podgorny and Foreign Minister Gromyko. LENDS MORAL SUPPORT Brown said the Soviet leaders had been officially informed only Thursday night of the French proposal for a joint peace ef- fort by the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France. He said it was too early to expect a Kremlin decision. It was understood by other Westerners in Moscow, however, that the Russians want to seek a solution independently. The Kremlin has lent moral support to the Arabs. A dispatch from Damascus said Syria had rejected the French proposal, saying :"The Arabs no longer accept gua ianship of the Middle East by anyone."'

'They are not involved at all at the moment," he said.

The workers left their jobs four days ahead of the date ori- ginally set for the walkout, which was Monday.

By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst WASHINGTON -- Secretary- General U Thant, by his prompt response to Nasser's demand that UN troops withdraw from Egypt, has hurt the world or- ganization, perhaps irrepar- ably; Western diplomats in Washington, Canadians, in- cluded, are appalled. Admittedly, the Yugoslavs and the Indians who were part of the UN force in the Gaza strip were reluctant to stay if they seemed unwanted; they have close relations with Egypt which they are anxious to pre- serve. So they responded imme- diately to Nasser's demand that they get out. In any case, the role of peacemaker is an un- grateful one and so one really enjoys it; those who practice it x are constantly looking for a way to stop. But the secretary general knows all this. The UN has al- ways had trouble maintaining its peacel ing conti ts up to strength. Secretaries - gen- eral have had to go begging around the world for troops and money before; they have had to ask members to change their minds and not carry out cabinet decisions to withdraw troops from UN peacekeeping forces. All this is part of being sec- retary general and everyone ex- pects him so to act. When he does not, he upsets everyone's calculations as, this time, he upset the calculations of the Egyptians; in all probability they wanted a full scale Gen- eral Assembly debate at which a clear _--e of the world would express clear opposition to the withdrawal of the UN troops from Egypt. Nasser has been accused by his fellow Arab leaders of being - eager to keep the UN troops on his soil because they repre- sented an excuse for not fight- ing Israel, the common enemy. This accusation is close to the truth and it is damaging to Nasser's prestige. He needed a great, big display of interna- tional pressure ,so he could claim he was being coerced into keeping the UN troops. And in the process, he wanted to re- furbish his image by demon- strating that he is an important man who must be coaxed, be entreated, visited by major statesmen, by the Canadian minister for external affairs, by the secretary general, } ' It would not have been the first time; it has happened be- fore. Nasser, moreover, had the right to expect it would happen again--in diplomacy as in juris- prudence one must be able to rely on precedent. In diplomacy one must also find room for the dyamatics that governments, es- pecially those of less developed countries need to indulge ein "for internal consumption." The best diplomats always allow an- tagonists plenty of. room to posture in and always take the statements and demands of prime ministers with a large grain of salt. In this crisis, much to his surprise and cha- grin, no doubt, Nasser. found his words being taken at face value, and thus the crisis worsened, Petite Typist Under Arrest LONDON (Reuters) -- Detec- tives today charged a petite 20- year-old civil service typist and a 29-year-old surveyor with vio- lating Britain's Official Secrets Act. Dark - haired Helen Keenan was charged with communicat- ing a document to an unauthor- ized person, and Norman Black- burn with receiving a document in violation of the secrets law. He was also charged with incit- ing Miss "Keenan to break the law. Both were ordered held for a week after police opposed the granting of bail. A detective from Scotland Yard's Special Branch, which makes arrests for the country's security services, made the charges in a London police sta- tion.

"If the MiG was spotted, why wasn't something done before it penetrated so far," said a U.S. Air Force officer. "I thought we had an um- brella of protection against such flights." gwest German authorities said the pilot, about 25, crash-landed with his wheels up near Dillingen, about 20 miles from Augsburg and 150 miles inside West Germany. He hitchhiked to a nearby military base and asked for political asylum. They said the officer, whose name was not released, was turned over to U.S. military authorities. The nearest Communist fron- tier is the Czechoslovak border, about 150 miles east of where the plane landed.
