TO U.S. TAXPAYER
This Coexistence
Can Get Costly
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst
The Arab world is getting a
striking demonstration of the
charms —for the Arabs — of com-
petitive coexistence. The Ameri-
can taxpayer is getting an inkling
of what competitive coexistence
might mean in the future.
The competition at the moment
is between the Communist and
free worlds for the good wishes
of the less advanced areas such as
the Middle East. In Egypt, com-
petitive coexistence already has
the two sides in the cold war act-
ing like rival used car salesmen
in pursuit of a customer.
An Old Story
Egypt in the role of international
coquette is an old story to Ameri-
cans in the Middle East. Ever
since the nation of Israel came
into being—and with it the mani-
fold sources of bitterness and ten-
sion—the Arabs have been trading
on the cold war rivalries to fur-
ther their cause. I have heard
many an Arab, shrugging help-
lessly and glancing speculatively
to tiie north, sigh that the Arab
nations might be forced to “shake
hands with the devil" if they did
not get their way.
The Russians evidently took the
Americans and British by surprise
in offering to foot a large share
of the bill for Egypt’s ambitious
hydroelectric program, the pro-
jected billion-dollar Aswan Darn
that would take about 15 years to
build Economically, Egypt could
hardly lose from the competi-
tion, with both sides imploring her
to accept 200 million dollars worth
of help for the program.
Since the present Moscow re-
gime took over, the Russians have
been talking * great deal about
competitive coexistence, and the
West apparently is getting some
samples now of what Moscow
means by that.
For Mo cow it is a new sort of
offensive, and for the West a rath-
er unexpected development. It
makes use of dramatic economic
gestures such as the Egyptian
arms deal and the Aswan bid, the
promised loan of 100 million dol-
lars and the extension of techni-
cal assistance to Afghanistan, the
financing of a steel mill in India
and the purchase from Burma of
rice crops that otherwise would be
a drug on the market.
B57s to Far East

driven B26s in the Far East soon

Stag Party Dance
Shocks Legislator
LONDON mn—An “Oriental tum-
my dance" before government
workers in an annex off staid
Whitehall so shocked a member of
Parliament that he sent photo-
graphs of the near-nude dancing
girl to Prime Minister Eden.
The performance by shapely
Shirley Allpress took place the oth-
er night at a stag Christmas party
of 100 post office workers. So far
they haven't complained about the
young lady's terpsichorean efforts
in shining silver paint and a fan.

Parliament who was not present.

was so shaken by it all today that
he said:
"If what I have been told is true
the matter is disgraceful. There
is a time and a place for every-
thing and I don't think a building
occupied by the Treasury can be
called a suitable place for this sort
of act.”
Shirley was quick to tell re-
porters that everyone liked her
exotic dance.
“It was very nice and there was
nothing rude about it,” she said
She was paid five guineas —
$14.70. Payment in guineas usual-
ly is reserved for medical men,
lawyers, artists and other profes-
sional services.
Eden had nothing to say about
the matter. He has been ill and
more pressing matters of state
have been piling up these past few
days.
