GREEK  SHIP DETAINED
UAR Granted Loan To Widen Suez
(Copyright^ 1659, Jewish Telegrapfalo Agenoy, Inc.) WASHINGTON (JTA)—The determination of the Elsenhower Administration to establish friendly ties with Abdel Gamal Nasser's United Arab {^public produced a handsome gift—a loan to widen the Suez Canal which Nasser bars to Israel, plus other grants and loans.
While the World Bank waa considering the $56,500,000 loan, Nasser, acting in ¦& justified conviction that his blockade against Israel   woUld   not  halt  the   loan,
stopped a Greek freighter, the S.S. Astypalea, as It entered the Suez Canal. -It was carrying a load of Israel cement to French Somali- land,   F.O.B.  Haifa.   This  meant
rael's Parliament, Mrs. Meir said Nasser would almost certainly consider the loan as an encourage¬ ment for future acts of blockade agd.lnst Israel shipping. It was re¬ called that the Danish ship, the
Ui^t'tltie to the cement'had pissed, »>se  Tof^   was  still   tied   up   In ^ 'Port   Said   where   It   had   been
to the purchaser.
THE DETENTION of the
Astypalea produced some red faces at the United Nations. The Greek ship had been dispatched, Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister said, on the understand¬ ing that Nasser would not halt a cargo sent P.O.B. This arrange¬ ment had been reached by UN Secretary General Dag Ham¬ marskjold with the UAR.
Mrs. Meir said the World Bank loan to a leader "who behaves like a sea pirate" amounted to rewardtag "a vlolater of inter¬ national practices." Reporting, on th?  Impasse  to  the Knesset,  Is-

She said Israel would not end efforts to expand trade with all countries and to demand the right of free passage through the Suez C^nal without discrimination. She added Israel was confident that It would not stand alone "In this fight," since the UAR's handltag of the waterway was of Interest to all maritime nations a!nd viola¬ tion by the UAR of one nation's rights was likely to bring about UAR violation of the rlghta of other nations.
MRS. MEIB expressed heraeif as being in agreement with the contention of United States State Department officials that World Bank grants should be based on economic and not political con¬ siderations. However, she con¬ tended, granting a loan to the UAR under existing condltlona was In fact a political act.
Nasser's detention of tbe Asty¬ palea, she asserted,, wm a "direct result" of the ''tolerant attitude" of the United Nations toward the UAR leader's activities.

The broadcast also said that the UAR had cancelled the agreement the first time Israel tried to use it. The Cairo radio's explanation was that "Israel should know that only the United Arab Repub¬ lic can permit or forbid passage through the Suez Canal."
THE WORLD Bank made the loan In participation with nine private institutional Investors. Egyptian authorities said the loan was obtained with "no strings at¬ tached" as pertains to the anti- Israel blockade. 'I^ey said the blockade would continue In force.
At the meeting of the bank's board of govemors, the executive director representing Israel, Dr. P. Lleftlnck of The Netherlands, asked on l>ehalf of Israel that conalderatlon of the loan be post poned because of the latest de-
