EEE HM TMP m AU WS MATT ARNT TA TENT f ANAM AME MMT pee rT RA se AT mr peer mem -- -- snyenememmneen ener anroreeyennen NASSER THREATENS SUEZ BLOCKADE IF OUTSIDE POWERS INTERVENE CAIRO (CP)--President Nas- ser has threatened to block the Suez Canal if any outside power intervened in a war between the Arab states and Israel. The Egyptian president did not say how this would be done, but it was recalled that during the 1956 Suez war he scittled enough shipping to make the vi- tal waterway unusable. 'Nasser conferred with his top military leaders Sunday night after warning that there would be "unimaginable repercus- sions" if any nation interferred with Egyptian control of the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, the key water route through which Israel Bets most of its oil. Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol said his army is ready to fight aggression, including a_ block- ade. In the Gaza Strip, Canadian troops began preparations for departure following Nasser's or- der for them to leave in 48 hours. The ultimatum to the Cana- dian contingent in the United Nations Emergency Force was made in a note Saturday to the UNEF commander because of what Egyptian government claimed was Ottawa's "pro-Is- rael attitude," a charge Cana- dian Prime Minister Pearson said is 'without foundation in fact." Speaking at one of his rare press conferences, Nasser ans- wered a barrage of questions from the world press for 80 min- utes before hurrying off to what the authoritative Cairo news- paper Al Ahram described as an important meeting at armed forces headquarters. First Vice - President Abdul forces, and a number of senior military leaders attended the meeting, the newspapers said. Nasser also heard a report from War Minister Shamseddin Badran who returned Sunday night from discussions with So- viet leaders in Moscow. Syria's chief of state, Noured- dine el-Atassi, arrived in Mos- cow for talks with Soviet Pre- mier Kosygin. The Kremlin has pported both Syria and Egypt Hakim Amer, who also is dep- uty supreme commander of the armed forces, Vice - President Zakaria Mohieddin, appointed earlier in the day ascom- mander of popular resistance in the Middle East crisis. Atassi is the first Syrian head of state to visit Moscow since the 1956 Suez invasion. At the press conference, Nas- ser accused the United States, Britain, Canada and West Ger- many of supporting Israel in the current crisis and rejected the Anglo-American contention that the vital Straits of Tiran, lead- ing to the Gulf of Aqaba and Is- rael's key port of Elath, were international waters. The United States and Brit- ain had hoped diplomatic pres- sure would persuade Nasser to reopen the gulf before an Egyp- tian attack on some ship re- sulted in war. But Nasser said he would not retreat "'even as much as one inch" from his blockade. He asked the United States to recognize Egypt's cause as just and remain neutral, Nasser said that if the U.S 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean went to Israel's aid it would be aggression against the Arab states but he would not call for Soviet help. He did not want a confronta- tion between the United States and the Soviet Union as it would not mean a world war. As the president spoke two Israeli - bound tankers flying the Liberian flag and carrying Iranian oil were reported to be apparently delaying their ap- proach to the Gulf of Aqaba in order to avoid testing the Egyp- tian blockade. Israel announced its forces captured a five-man Egyptian patrol inside Israeli territory in the Negev Desert Sunday, An Egyptian military spokesman in Cairo confirmed the patrol was captured in Israeli territory in the Negev Desert Sunday, while scouting. He said the Egyptian foreign office notified Lt.-Gen. Odd Bull of Norway, chief of the UN truce supervision organization in Palestine, and requested that the captured men be re- leased by Israel to "avoid con- sequences." PRESIDENT NASSER .

One government policeman was killed and 11 persons, in- cluding two Vietnamese drivers employed by the ICC were wounded. The attack coincided with a mortar barrage on several stra- tegic points in the ancient for- mer capital-of Vietnam. Canadian, Polish and Indian members of the commission jnormally are at the hotel, but it was not immediately known whether they were there today. The post is used to supervise ICC activities in the northern provinces of South Vietnam. The sources said the Viet Cong penetrated the stately building, one of the largest hotels in South Vietnam outside Saigon at 1 a.m. Besides setting off an explo- sive charge, they threw kero- sene around the hotel lobby in an attempt to set fire to it. The 40-room hotel sits on the banks of the Perfumed River near the heart of the city and is called Huong Giang after the river of the same name.

The 65- year old skipper left Ply- mouth last Aug. 27 and made a one - stop solo trip in his 53 - foot yacht, Gipsy Moth IV. {AP Wirephoto by cable from Plymouth) j ON TRIAL BASIS Uniform Presented For Three Services OTTAWA (CP)--The defence, department today unveiled the department today unveiled the clothe all servicemen in the same dark-green package with standard insignia and badges. Dress differences between ranks and services have been eliminated in the proposed uni- form for the unified force. Qual- ity and cut is the same for all. Only rank insignia and badges are different. The basic model is a peaked cap, hip-length jacket, cuffless pants and tie, all dark green. The shirt, of synthetic fibre and cotton, is light green. Socks and shoes are black. Navy and air force blues, army khaki and more than a dozen uniform varieties of the three services would be placed by the new model for normal duty, including parades and off- base wear. It has a ceremonial use, too, which puts the future of traditional ceremonial garb in doubt. The big difference between the old and the new is the color, different from anything now in use, The government deliberat- ely avoided choosing a current shade to avoid inter - service conflict. Choice of dark green had been unofficially known for some time but the sweeping nature of the standardization of both cos- tume and insignia came as a surprise. There was no immediate indi- cation it would provoke any up- roar of the kind that marked progressive stages of the years- long legislative march to unifi- cation of the armed forces. The unifying bill was finally passed last April in the Commons, Turn To Page Three NEW SERVICE Gunfire Flares On Gaza Strip CAIRO (CP)--President Nas- ser Sunday accused Canada's Prime Minister Pearson of an act of aggression against all) Arab states. He said at a press conference| Egyptians had become. at-| tached to Canada and were| "greatly affected'. when Pear- son won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his efforts in. ending the Suez crisis of 1956. But Pearson's "acts now are totally in contradiction with any peace gffort, " Nasser said. Pope Names 27 New Cardinals VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Paul appointed 27 new cardinals for the Roman Catholic Church today, including four Ameri- cans. There were no Canadian appointments. This gives the United States nine princes of the church, three more than it ever has had, and brings membership in the Col- lege of Cardinals to 120, largest in history. The new Americans include three archbishops--John Joseph Krol, 56, of Philadelphia; Pat- rick A. O'Boyle, 70, of Washing- ton, D.C., and John Patrick Cody, 59, of Chicago. The fourth American, Rt. Rev. Francis J. Brennan, 71, of Shen- andoah, Pa., has long headed the Vatican's Sacred Rota, the highest tribunal of the Church dealing with marriage matters. The largest membership of the College of Cardinals pre- viously was 103 after the 1965 consistory, at which Pope Paul also named 27 new princes of the church. Nasser Accuses PM Act Of Aggression "He has raised doubts about our right to have the United Nations Emergency Force with- drawn. This is an attitude of |neocolonialism and an act of aggression. It is the first act of aggression he has ever made." The press conference came in the wake of Nasser's ultima- tum Saturday to the 720-man Canadian UNEF force to with- draw from Egypt within 48 hours. Nasser charged that Pearson is "totally biased to Israel and plotting with the United States - concerning the Gulf of Aqaba." Egypt has placed an embargo va pore shipping through the - nS 'HOSTILITY' "Pearson knew that before 1956 Aqaba was closed. Today Pearson, after taking the No- bel Prize--what does he say? Who has pushed him to do this? He was pushed by the United States to do that. We really condemn the attitude of Canada as an act of total hos- tility." Nasser indicated he will not break relations with Canada, ~ adding that there are no prob- lems between the two countries. He mentioned that Egypt had participated at Expo 67 in Mont- real at. a cost of more than $2,000,000.

GEN. ITZHAK RABIN, Israel's military chief of staff, is among the key troops. Questions for the press conference had to be submitted Friday before the ultimatum became known. Nasser said UNEF had come to Egypt under a conspiracy but "it shall not return." Although he was critical of the United States, he didn't mention President Johnson. He rejected Pearson's sug- gestion that Aqaba was an in- ternational waterway. It was Egyptian territory and under no circumstances would Egypt lift the embargo, he said.

WATTS PLYMOUTH, England (AP)-- Sir Francis Chichester, the an- cient mariner of the new Eliz-: abethan age, settled down to- day to enjoying "some of the delights of shore life." Behind him was an epic 28,- 500-mile, single-handed circum- navigation of the world in his 53-foot yacht Gipsy Moth IV. For the 107 days of the out- ward voyage to Sydney, Aus- tralia, and the 119 days of the return voyage around Cape Horn, he was alone with the sea and the sky. , But the 65-year-old seaman said as he stepped ashore Sun- day night that he was looking forward to some peace and quiet. He spent his first night ashore fn a second-floor bedroom of 2 four - storey, white Georgian mansion within sound of the sea. From: his bedroom he looked down on a statue of Sir Francis Drake, the first Eng- lishman to sail around the world. He sailed'from Plymouth in 1577, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II sent.Chichester a "welcome home' cable which his wife delivered when she and their son Giles, 20, joined him aboard the Gipsy Moth at the entrance to Plymouth Sound. Giles carried two. bottles of champagne. BOOM LAUNCHES WELCOME The Royal' Western Yacht Club's gun boomed out as the yacht passed the breakwater, and Plymouth erupted. An armada of small boats scurried around Gipsy Moth. Cannon in the citadel -- fort crashed out a 10-gun salute. Big ships tooted their sirens, motor- ists blew their horns, Some 250,000 spectators cheered, shouted, whistled and sang For He's a Jolly Good Fel- low. Plumes of red, white and blue water cascaded from fire boats. On Drake Island, in Plymouth Sound, the first of 80 miles of beacons glowed orange against the fast-falling purple dusk to signal Chichester's return.. The beacons last burned along the Devon coast nearly four cen- turies ago, to signal to Drake ' the sighting of the Spanish arm ada. Chichester confounded those who 'said he would have to be helped ashore after his long or- deal. He almost bounced onto land. and walked with a jaunty step. He grinned and shook hands with well-wishers. On his way into the harbor he had signalled the welcoming party to-have some food ready. All he had eaten all day was a grapefruit for breakfast. So he was .hurried away to a supper of fresh salmon and cham- pagne. SUBDUED BY QUESTIONS Despite his good humor and jauntiness, he was unable to concentrate on many questions put to him at a press confer- ence later. "'When a man has been at sea for four months, you cannot ex- pect him to make a sensible answer to a question," he told a reporter. He confessed he was fright- ened during his rounding of Cape Horn. "You'll only survive there in a@ small boat by good luck," he said, Chichester will have a medi- cal checkup although he com- plained only of an injured elbow "which seemed to be always getting knocked on something or other." He is expected to rest a few days before being given a civic reception. In two weeks he will sail the Gipsy Moth up the English Channel to the Thames. At Greenwich June 13 the Queen will tap hin. on the shoulder with a sword and dub him Sir Francis. She will use the same sword that legend says Eliza- beth I used to knight Drake. KNIGHTED BY QUEEN The Queen conferred knight- hood on Chichester just before he sailed from Sydney Jan. 29. Chichester sailed from Ply- mouth last' Aug. 27 and is the first man to complete a solo round - the - world voyage with only one stop. The. first solo voyage around the world was by Capt. Joshua Slocum, a Nova Scotia - born New Englander who. sailed from Boston in 1895. But Slo- cum, 51 when he started his voyage, took three years with many stops.
