1. HAMMARSKJOLD'S VIEWS ON SUEZ PROBLEMS
UN secretary general Hammarskjold has
told American representatives that he
plans to establish the UN emergency force
in two stages- -the first being the station-
ing of 1,800 men, mostly Scandinavian, at
Port Said. The second stage involves moving a force of about
4,200 men to the armistice lines, "ultimately" ending up on
Israel's borders. Hammarskjold believes that a 6,000-man UN
force is needed, of which 4,200 are now available.
On clearing the canal, Hammarskjold said
the UN would take the responsibility and underwrite any loans,
but that final payment should probably come from canal tolls.
He is optimistic about the withdrawal of British and French
troops and Egypt's consent to clearance operations beginning
the following day. He recognizes that "many people" believe
the Egyptian position on clearing the canal is unreasonable,
but feels that, as an executive of the General Assembly, he
must act in accordance with assembly directives, which gave
clear priority to troop withdrawal.

2. SUEZ CANAL SITUATION
Statements from London and Cairo point to
the continuing possibility of incidents in
the Suez Canal zone that might lead to a
resumption of hostilities.
Stating that his demarche was made with
.Nasr!s know ledge, an Egyptian spokesman
has emphasized to the American embassy
in Cairo the growing tension and frustra-
tion in Egypt since the cease-fire, and ex-
pressed fear of possible "rash action" by
Egyptian officials and people. He said
Nasr does not "seriously" believe the
British are planning new aggression, but
stated that Cairo had recently received
reports of new British military prepara-
tions in Libya.
The spokesman informed the embassy that
.Egypt wants a deadline established for the complete withdrawal
of Anglo-French forces. He stated that Egypt would "prefer"
the UN to set such a deadline, since an Egyptian attempt to do
so would amount to an ultimatum.
The British and French continue to with-
hold their agreement to definite arrangements for withdrawal
from Egypt. According to Secretary General Hammarskjold,
Foreign Secretary Lloyd said on 25 November that he would
announce a date for the beginning of evacuation when he is
satisfied that arrangements for the canal clearing operation
are in order.
The British, meanwhile, appear to be con-
templating moving beyond the cease-fire line either salvage
equipment or some of the ships which were marooned in the
canal. Britain intends to

move salvage operations down the canal, halting only if
fired upon by the Egyptians.
British and French forces in the canal,
zone remain sufficient to conduct full-scale hostilities.
British forces in Egypt as of 28 November numbered 13,300
with approximately 31,000 on Cyprus. French ground strength
currently in the canal area is believed to be approximately
6,500 with an additional 6,500 on Cyprus. (NOFORN)

6. PROVINCIAL RADIOS CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE
HUNGARIAN REGIME
egional Hungarian broadcasts have re-
ently expressed views opposed to the
dar regime in Budapest. Radio Gyoer
as criticized the Kadar government and
specifically expressed its opposition to the regime's conduct
in the Nagy abduction. The Miskolc station has announced
the continuation of the strike and rejected the appeal by the
Budapest Central Workers' Council to return to work.
Comment The adoption of a hard line by Kadar on
25-26 November may foreshadow an at-
tempt to impose censorship over these provincial broadcasts.
The regime apparently has already done so in Budapest, 'where
similarly independent views were broadcast last week by
Radio Budapest.
Kadar's stiffer policy may have followed
talks with Soviet deputy premier Malenkov, who reportedly
has been in Budapest for the past few days. Following his
threat to hunt down "counterrevolutionaries," Kadar has ;ap-
parently arrested a number of Hungarians, including several
"insurgent" writers who at one time were Communists.
