Arms Race Now Feared in Middle East
Egypt moves to obtain arms from Czechoslovakia in a cotton for weapons deal, sparking Western fears of a regional arms race. Dulles and Macmillan urged Russia and others to avoid actions that would raise tensions, noting Western powers could supply only limited internal policing arms. Egypt rejected Western terms, while accepting Soviet bloc arms. officials warned of a potential shift in balance of power. In Washington, officials cautioned over heavy weapons and price disputes, and reported arms to Egypt would be restricted to policing and defense. A separate note reports a Roads Department worker injured on a US 40 resurfacing project near Ridgeville and a Maryland construction-contract surge totaling $537.6 million for eight months in 1955.
