Suez Canal yields only two bombs found
AP dispatch from Port Said reports British mine countermeasures frogmen recovered two 00-pound bombs in a week of canal approaches. The origin remains unknown as the force reviews harbor and two miles of the 109 mile waterway. Americans assist with magnetic mine neutralization while British and Egyptian units receive training. The sweep costs about $10 million and aims to finish by June.
