The Soviet Union has refused to help Egyptian troops fight their way across the Suez Canal or supply President Nasser with modem long range offensive weapons according to reports reaching the evening paper Yediot Ahronot. But the paper’s Jerusalem correspondent says the same sources report the Soviets will support the call for a limited cease fire along the Canal under international supervision.
