Nasser Seizes Suez Canal as Egypt Plans Aswan Dam
Egypt nationalizes the Suez Canal after declaring the canal zone a military area. Nasser accuses the United States and Britain of using the dam project to push political dominance and says Egypt will fund and build the Aswan dam with its own money. The canal, operated by Suez Canal Co., was to be taken over by Egypt in 1968 after a 1960 concession. In a separate item, Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Puller is urged to testify in SSgt. Matthew C. McKeon’s court martial at Parris Island while defense seeks his order to active duty.
