Nasser Regime Faces Growing Political Economic Crisis
Observers returning from the Middle East warn Egypt under Gamal Nasser is heading for a major political and economic crisis possibly leading to his ouster. They report rising discontent across society, arrests of officers linked to anti Nasser plots, and a sharp rise in living costs amid foreign exchange shortages. The Suez crisis fallout and the nationalization of the canal have frozen assets abroad, worsening Egypt’s financial strain.

Egypt Hints Dulles Plan Harmful to Arab Leaders
Egypt hinted that insisting on the Dulles plan to remove Israeli troops from the area could jeopardize King Saud's efforts to explain the Eisenhower doctrine to other Arab rulers later this month. Cairo warned a broader war could erupt if Israeli forces continued to resist Egyptian territory, a confrontation that might draw in major world powers. Secretary of State Foster Dulles was to meet Israeli officials in Washington to clarify points of the plan, which envisions Israeli withdrawal from Sharm el Sheik and the Gaza Strip and calls the gulf to be declared an international waterway with a UN role to supervise Gaza. Israeli leaders reportedly indicated willingness to accept major conditions, despite Cairo's objections, as Arab leaders prepare for a regional meeting.
