Egypt Breaks off Talks on Suez Settlement with France
United Nations dispatches report Egypt will not discuss a Suez settlement with France though French Foreign Minister Pineau is due in New York next week. Cairo accuses France of main responsibility for the invasion and seeks U N pressure on Israel to withdraw from Gaza and Sinai. Meanwhile, U N aide Cordier says the first dry cargo convoy through the canal is slated for early March with 10 000 ton ships, and debris clearance could reach 25 feet by March and 34 feet by May. German salvage vessels clear a 165 foot section of the El Ferdan bridge aiding passage though one span remains to be removed.
