U.S. Snubs Egypt's Bid For Funds

WASHINGTON (UP) The U. S. derision to withdraw its offer of aid for Egypt s Aswan Dam was a calculated risk desired to deflate Egyptian President Gamsi Abdel Nasser and put Russia on the spot, informed sources said today. The surprise action, announced Thursday night, deprives Nasser of continuing his game of playing the United States against the Soviet Union in an attejnpt to get the best deal possible for the dam. Now, officials said, the Egyptian strongman must go to Russia and ask for help instead of bargaining for it as he could while the American offer stood. Russia may find herself on the spot because there is a question whether she can afford to pour the re.'Sjurces into the $1.3 billion water resources project needed to see it through to completion.

MUNCIE. Ind. (UP) - Ymi can t tell L. V. Johnson that padi die-wheel river boats are a thing of the past. He has a brand new ( one in his back yard, and he made

it himself

Johrurm. president of a floorI covering firm here. plans to launch the San Dee Lee II next i month on Lake Wawasee before ! using it for river travel. Nearly two years ago he began work on the 2-ton, 31-foot flatbottomed stern-wheeler. He started the job all alone in his

basement.

“My neighbors came by and told me,"L. V„ you've made a

mistake,

and told them I'd knock a hole in the wall if I had to.” He unbolted the parts, reassembled them in the back yard, and got down to the finishing

touches.

These include equipping the boat for modern living. It looks like an old-time Mississippi River boat, but it has fold-up bunks, a makeshift kitchenette and bath-

room.

Johnson built the San Dee Lee II from pictures and memories of river boa-ts he saw on boyhood trips. He did all the work him-

self.

The wheel house is about six feet square and has windows on three sides. The boat has kero--ene running lights and a powerful search light on the wheel

house.

Johnson predicts the paddle wheel’s 25-horsepower engine will propel the boat at a cruising speed of eight miles an hour and a top speed of 10. He expects plenty of company :»n his river trips he already has “a couple planned for next year.” The central section—a combined bunk-room and living rorom sleeps four. There is also a tiny galley equipped with a ship's stove, sink and ice box, and a

dinette.

The San Dee Lee II is the second stern-wheeler Johnson has built himself. Like the first it is named after his niece and nephews. The original was just six feet shorter than his latest ere- |

ation.

Johnson was heartbroken when buyers took San Dee Lee I away in 1953. He had skippered it for nearly seven years. If all goes well with the lake tests next month he intends to put in m-viy happy years of old- ; fashioned river travel. Blind Child Leaves Hospital ORLANDO. Fla.
