Soviet Plane Held World Beater Report Egyptian Troops Are Training in Poland Officers and Noncoms Drilled in Tactics by Reds, Claim LONDON Foreign Office said today Britain has received secret reports that "a considerable number" of Egyptians are under military training in Poland.

A spokesman told reporters the British government "places reliance on these reports." but he would not disclose their source. He said the matter will be taken into account in determination of Britiain's Middle Eastern policies. British informants estimated sbout 200 Egyptian officers and noncommissioned officers are being trained in land, sea and air operations and the use of armaments at a Soviet base Poland's Baltic Sea port of Gdynia, Their instruction was reported to include the use of radar, submarines and all forms of artillery. Extension of Deal The training facilities are understood to be an extension of the 1955 deal under which Communist Czechoslovakia sold arms to Egypt for Egyptian cotton and rice, the informants said. The Foreign Office spokesman said the British government also 5s aware that Czech army officers are training Egyptian air force men in the use of Soviet bloc aircraft at airfields near the Egyptian port of Alexandria.

Egypt is the leader of Arab bloc nations surrounding Israel. Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser declared in announcing the deal with Czechoslovakia that the arms were needed for defense against a threat of Israeli aggression. An Israeli request for United States arms is spending in Washington. Informed The Foreign Office spokesman made it clear the British government does not envisage acting on its own. however, and he called attention to American, British and French consultations under way in Washington on the Middle East situation.

Other British sources said they understood the Egyptian military group is being instructed by Russian experts, although on Polish soil. They said the training started last December and there has been a regular turnover of the Egyptian personnel since. Under the arms deal, the Cairo government is likely, according to British estimates, to get 300 T34 Stalin tanks, between 200 and 300 MIG fighters, more than 50 Hyushin bombers and about a half dozen submarines.

Serov's Trip Is Considered Big Kremlin Blunder Any Attempt to Win Friends Falls Flat in Angry Britain By NATE POLOWETZKY LONDON The Kremlin's campaign to win friends and influence people in Britain fell flat on its face in the British press today. The cause: A short, squat man named Gen. Ivan A. Serov.

who is the police chief of the Soviet Union. He arrived here Thursday to check security arrangements for the visit next month of Premier Bulganin and Communist party boss Nikila Khrushchev. His arrival set off cries of outrage from the British papers which equaled may have vituperation heaped on Hitler. Himmler and Goebbels during the dark days of World War II. Serov's coming probably undid whatever success was achieved by the campaign of smiles and goodwill, carefully cultivated in recent months by the Kremlin, to assure a friendly reception for Bulganin and Krushchev when they come here April 18.

Ar- Russians Three Years Ahead in Jets, Say British London Gasps at Airliner Bringing Moscow Bigwigs By EDWIN SHANKE LONDON sleek Russian jet airliner shocked and amazed British air experts today and left them google-eyed with wonder. The commercial twin-engine aircraft, credited with speeds up to 500 miles an hour, caused as big a stir as the man it brought to Ivan Serov, head of the Soviet secret police. "You may whistle." bannered the Daily Mail.

"This clinches it. The Reds are way, way ahead." jet beats all," said the Daily Express. secret plane Is a world beater," headlined the News Chronicle. The Daily Mail's writer on air affairs spoke of the "shaken silence" with which British experts watch the liner fly into London Airport Thursday. Three Years Ahead The airliner, called the TU1M, is "more advanced than anything likely to be available In Britain or America for at least three years," he summed up.

The News Chronicle said the only commercial jet liner comparable in Britain is the Comet HI which is still being tested. "America has nothing to offer," the News Chronicle added. The Comet I. the world's first commercial jet liner, is still grounded after a series of crashes. Group Capt.

John Cunningham, who first flew the Comet, watched the Russian plane arrive and said: "A really businesslike aircraft. This is the only jet airliner London Airport is likely to see for some time. There's still a lot of work to do on the Comet" Powerful Engines While no one was permitted to give it a really close examination, the swept wing TU104 was said to be the civil counterpart of the Soviet Badger medium bomber. It was reported capable carrying 50 to 60 passengers. Officials guessed its two engintE must have a combined thrust equivalent to the Comet's four jets.

Proportional Arms Cuts Suggested LONDON United States has asked Russia to join in a military manpower cut wnich would whittle the armed forces of each nation to million men. The plan was placed before the five-power U. N.

Disarmament subcommittee yesterday by Harold E. Stassen, President Eisenhower's personal adviser. The Russians made no immediate comment. Stassen said the plan which would seek proportional cuts by Britain, France and other nations, calls for a parallel reduction in armaments and military spending of each country. Stassen insisted, however, that first the nations would have to agree on satisfactory control safeguards and an effective mutual inspection system.

Tnis has been a major stumbling block in the years of previous East-West disarmament negotiations. The new U. S. proposal -would mean a reduction of about 13 per cent in American land, sea and air forces, now totaling about 2.900,000 men. Witn Russia's armed strength estimated at four million men, it would take 37 per cent of her men out of uniform.

The U. S. proposal made no specific mention of Red China," whose army alone is estimated at million men.
