The shadow-boxing came even while Arab neighbors lined up behind Gamel Ahdel Nasser Including Britain' friend Irarf In defending Egypt's right to nationalize the canal.

President Cambille Chamoun of Lebanon, traditionally moderate in Arab politics, warned the West in a speech that any antagonistic move toward Egypt might lead to "the West losing forever the confidence and co-operation of Mideast peoples." The British Foreign Office laid "no comment" to the Iraq announcement saying she "stands beside Egypt in the dispute over the Suez issue." The Iraq communique, issued after Premier Nuri Said arrived in Baghdad from London, described nationalization as "the doubtless right of any nation." IRAQ MEANS OIL WELLS Iraq is one of Britain's main sources of oil. Britain's "red devils" regarded as an emergency fire birgade unit sailed for the Mediterranean in high spirits and cries of "Where's Nasser?" Wearing their red bereti and camouflage tunics and carrying full battle equipment, the 1200 troopers boarded the aircraft carrier Theseus, prepared tor any eventuality arising from Egyptian President Nasser's seizure of the canal. The troop movement broke into Britain's biggest holiday weekend of the summer, the August bank holiday, and struck a sombre note in nation that has not had time to forget World War II. There were tearful partings from mothers, wives and sweethearts at railway stations as troop-laden trains pulled out, there were crowds lining the docks at the big naval base of Portsmouth to give the boys a sendoff. MORE TROOPS MOVING Other troops were on the move.

An advance party of the 21st Medium Royal Artillery Regiment left Edinburgh for the south of England, amid speculation it had been ordered to the Mediterranean. These were only a part of the preparations by Britain and France on a go-it-alone basis if necessary, to protect the maritime highway to the Middle East and Far past from the lone-handed control of Nasser. British and French newspapers continued to declare that their governments dared not bend before Nasser as they did before Adolf Hitler at Munich.

The driver of the motorcycle, John Gary Aull, 22, 1131 Olivia Price Hill, a mechanic, was in critical condition at St.

and Lincoln Park Dr. She had left a bus and was making her way across the street when the accident happened. Highway Safety Patrolman Harold Mills and Lt. Herbert Walke said the crosswalk was plainly marked. Three charges were pending against the motorcyclist, they said.

Patrolnu-n Mills suffered second-degree burns on his left hand and arm from a flashbulb which exploded when he was making photographs of the ac-cidon scene.

Miss Herft's death was the 42nd traffic fatality this year in Hamilton County. The 1955 toil at this time was 52. Governor Of Mississippi Looks -For Democrats To Be Moderate CHICAGO, Aug. 5 (AP) A Southern leader today gave the Democrats a good chance to agree on a civil-rights plank. Gov.

James P. of Mississippi spelled out his views as party leaders headed for Chicago to begin work on the 1956 Democratic platform. "It can be done," he said in response to a newsman's question about the possibilities of drafting a civil-rights plank acceptable to Northern and Southern segments of the party, He added: "The question Is will It be done?" "The delegates from the South won't be spoiling for a fight," he said. "They'll be eager that it (the plank question) be worked out within the framework of the party. "TO TREAT US FAIRLY" "I think the remaining states plan to treat fairly in the convention." Governor Coleman said the "atmosphere" was i from what it was in 1952.

He pointed out that the Democrats were out of power this time, and he remarked that the party would have "drawn a blank" in the 1952 election if it had not carried nine southern and border states. The platform committee will assemble tomorrow, a week before the nominating convention opens in the International Amphitheatre on Chicago's Southwest Side. Chief concern is directed toward the civil-rights plank which could be a springboard to party harmony or discord. The aim will be to write a section on that subject which will not anger anybody. There has been some talk of using as a model the 1952 civil-rights plank, couched In generalities.

Chairman McCormack hopes to wind up the hearings Friday afternoon. More than 100 witnesses are expected. day, July 27. Record high for August 5 is 100, set in 1918. It was the hottest Sunday of this year, however, and the largest crowd of the season splashed in Coney Island's swimming pool.

AP Wirephoto. Create Understanding In Racial Integration, Nixon Asks Churches RIDGECREST, N. Aug. 5 (AP)-Vice President Nixon urged churches today to "help create the climate of understanding and goodwill which is essential" to carry out the Supreme Court's school desegregation decision. In a prepared speech, Nixon told a Baptist home mission conference that on the "thorny issue of race relations bitterness and tension are mounting by the hour." The Vice President came to North Carolina to speak also at a Presbyterian Men's Council in nearby Montreat and at a Methodist summer assembly at Lake Junaluska.

There was no mention in his prepared talk of efforts by Harold Stassen to replace him with Massachusetts Gov. Christian Ilerter on the 1956 GOP national ticket. In the course of the struggle over school integration, Mr. Nixon said, "fundamental religious and moral ideals are being lost sight of. You can bring them back before the conscience of all Americans.

"These are the ideals of the basic dignity of all men, our equal rights, our brotherhood under the fatherhood of God. If these irals were fully accepted, there would be much less bitterness over the means used to realize them." Without expressly referring to the Supreme Court's 1954 decision declaring racially segregated public schools unconstitutional, Mr. Nixon said: "The Supreme Court has wisely given time to implement its decision. A moderate approach is the only one which will work. Political demagoguery will aggravate, not solve the problem.

"The churches can help create the climate of understanding and goodwill which is essential for the implementation of the law of the land." Mr. Nixon emphasized that religion teaches "the God-given dignity of every man," "the brotherhood of man," and "a sense of justice." He contrasted these religious ideals with the "Godless materialism" of Communism and declared that "atheism is the very heart" of the Communist system. "Communism is morally wrong," he said, "because it denies human dignity and the rights of mankind. The leaders of the Soviet Union have admitted in part the terrible crimes thp.t have been perpetrated by their government and its secret police. "But they have not dared to admit that it was the system itself that made such crimes possible." Mr.

Nixon said the churches can do much to clarify the thinking of those who look on the current "Cold War" between the Communist nations and the free world as just "a struggle for power and world domination." "There is a vital difference," he said, "between political neutrality and moral neutralism in the present conflict of ideals." "If a nation chooses to be politically neutral, we may disagree with the wisdom of its course," he said, although he added that the Chinese Communist invasion of Burma "should be a solemn warning to those who believe that neutrality is a guarantee against Communist aggression." "Nevertheless," he said, "we must always respect the right of any nation to select the policy its leaders believe is in the national interest." "But," he concluded, "those who put Communism and freedom on the same moral plane have, to put It mildly, a rather strange set of values." COME TO THINK OF IT: Bu- TV TI years, left JNo bumea lg, years, left under ay difficul- i imposed by the Hungarian Communist authorities. The Commies grounded a pecial U. S. military transport plane sent to fetch him and he was to negotiate the release of four captured American fliers who were forced down in Hungary In 1951. Mr.

Ravndal was scheduled to fly from Budapest Airport shortly before noon today, Hungarian time. But when his plane appeared the Hungarians refused to let it take off. They gave as reason that flying was dangerous because of the alleged presence in the air of many balloons carrying anti-Communist propaganda leaflets loosed by the Radio Free Europe organization in West Germany. By the time the Hungarians decided to let the plane go, Mr. Ravndal had gone by automobile to Vienna.

The plane came here to pick him up to fly him to Bremen, Germany. Thence he sails to the United States for a leave before taking over his new post as Ambassador to Ecuador. It was the second time in three days that the Hungarians reported they had to suspend air traffic because of the propaganda biiloons. But American diplomats here and in Budapest called the Hungarian claim propaganda. KAVNDAL eel Arrested Susp Slippery, Eh? 11 Prisoners Use Soap In Ventilator Escape SANTA, ANA, Aug.

Ike Can Go No Further Now To Uphold Nixon, Says Hall Democratic Senator Says, Calling Discussion Of Health "Morbid" WASHINGTON, Aug.

5 (AP) Democratic Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana called today for an end to what he described as "degrading" and "morbid" inquiries into President Eisenhower's physical condition. Mr, Mansfield, a vice chairman of the Democratic national committee, said in a statement Mr. Elsenhower is no "medical guinea pig" and his health "is not the issue in this campaign." "There has been too much talk about President Eisenhower's health by some Democrats but by more Republicans," Mr. Mansfield said.

"No man has ever been more diagnosed, medically commented on, or treated by so many doctors literally and figuratively than Mr. Eisenhower. "The unnatural attitude 'of too many people regarding the President's health is not only in many instances morbid but it smacks more of the curious than it does of real concern. "Let us have a moratorium from the daily diagnoses, the the degrading spectacle of our Chief Executive being shown in the light of a guinea pig. "Let the American people decide in November what their diagnosis will be In the form of their verdict, but let us all in the meantime hold our peace and discuss the issues which divide us as well as those which unite Mr.

Mansfield made it clear he was objecting to public discussion of intimate details of Mr. Eisenhower's intestinal illness a position that won immediate- support from Sens. George -W. Malone Nev.) and RlWiard L. Neuberger Mr Malone said the matter is getting around to the point "where the first thing you know in order to file for office you'll have to have a er-tificate that you have had some kind of illness." "It would be a good idea for the Democrats to stop claiming he (Mr.

Eisenhower) is sick and the Republicans to stop claiming he is Tarzan," Mr. Neuberger said. Childhood Sweethearts, 82 and 79, Are Wed TIVERTON, R. Aug. 5 (UP) Childhood sweethearts Benjamin French, 82, and Mabel Smith, 79, were married here today after a 60-year separation caused by a jealous woman.

IN THE ENQUIRER SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 (IN'S) The Republican national chairman, Leonard Hall, said today President Eisenhower feels he cannot "go any further" in his support of Vice President Nixon until he himself has been renominated. Mr. Hall predicted, however, that the GOP convention in San Francisco later this month "definitely" will name an Eisenhower-Nixon ticket.

He said Mr. Eisenhower has not flatly told him that he wants Mr. Nixon as his running mate, but added that the Chief Executive "has made his position clear" that Mr. Nixon 's "completely acceptable" to him. Mr.

Hall, appearing on a TV program from the Co Palace, where the convention will open August 20, blasted Harold Stassen, presidential assistant, for his "dump Nixon" campaign. He declared: "I think he's 100 per cent wrong this time." Mr. Stassen's use of public opinion polls to boost the ination of Massachusetts Gov. Christian Herter for Vice President likewise was criticized by Mr. Hall.

The GOP chairman noted that in his unnsuccessful 1952 bid for the Republican presidential nomination Mr. Stassen cited polls in which he hai first 30 and then 22 Wisconsin delegates lined up. But. when the Wisconsin primary was over, Mr, Hall emphasized, Mr. Stassen had no delegates.

Mr. Hall said Mr. conceivably could place Governor Herter's name in nomination himself, although ne added that that decision would he up to House minority leader, Joseph W. Martin Jr. (K.

who will be permanent-chairman. The chairman stressed tiiat he personally had invited Mr. Stassen to the convention "before this thing came up." 1 Page Birthdays 30 Church New 7 Classified 20-?)
