| Description: | Wild acclaims follow Egyptian President Nasser as he makes a public appearance after seizes seizure of the Suez Canal. Seem by the fervently nationalistic Arab world as a triumphant blow at the Western Powers, Britain, France and the United States. The adulation of the Cairo mob is a measure to the new heights that Nasser’s prestige has risen through his coo. The roar of the throng gives way to hush of deserted streets in response to Nasser’s call for a strike. Protesting the 22-nation foreign minister’s conference in London. The Arab world came to a stand still a gesture of solidarity. Present in a unique possession of the very center of the crisis is thirteen years old, Dennis Broody of Massapequa Long Island. He was invited to Egypt as Nasser's personal guest before the Suez seizure in return for a letter of good will. He was brought closer to events then any other Westerner. In Egypt’s unusual bid for friendship at a time of defiance. The conference in London was reduced to only a prelude to negotiations through Egypt’s refusal to attend. A political interest anti colonial Orient and the more sinister interest of the communist sphere were balanced against the vital interest of the west. Secretary Dulles plan to recognized Egypt’s severity and provide for international control met opposition from Russia and the neutralist following Nasser’s lead. The Dulles plan had only majority support where it should have been unanimous. Continued stalemate over the Suez. Establishing shot - Throngs of people gather together on the streets of Cairo.
