| Description: | Open Suez Near. But Israel Impasse Delays Completion. "President Eisenhower cuts short his winter vacation in Georgia to return to Washington in the face of the Israel-Egyptian impasse. Meanwhile, a small Egyptian vessel makes its way the entire length of the canal. Completion of clearing is prevented by the political situation." Scenes of President Dwight Eisenhower on vacation, with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey present (sounds like a fun vacation!). Looks like Henry Cabot Lodge is there, too. Casually-dressed press photographers aim their cameras. In the Suez Canal, crew members wait on board an Italian vessel that's not allowed to proceed. | |
