Soviet Warships Enter Suez Canal in Salute
Two Soviet destroyers and a tanker entered the Suez Canal at Port Said, receiving a noisy welcome from Egyptian harbor craft. The ships joined a southbound convoy for the Red Sea terminus shortly after the U.S. destroyer McGowan passed northbound. The Russians, first to transit since the canal reopened after the Suez crisis, were greeted with waves and salutes as they paid tolls in cash alongside the other vessels. Meanwhile in Pusan, a gasoline fire destroyed shacks near the port, killing 12 Koreans, injuring 36, and leaving 2,000 homeless as flames consumed 300 dwellings before aid arrived.
