the door of my hotel room.
"Send him up.” I remade the bed. put my clothes back on and pulled out the typewriter stand. Then I went to answer th knock at the door.
Mr. Cornells Meijer was embarrassed so I put him at ease.
“You may have the machine as long as you need it If you will, in return, give me an interview.”
He hesitated, then smiled frankly and said yes. From an official paper he showed me, I learned that he was a participant in Ihe Foreign Leader Program (Group III NATO Journalist Project) of the International Educational Exchange Service of the U.S. Department of State.

“The Egyptian officers were the first to run and surrender,” he stated.
‘ The battles lasted only 30 or 40 minutes because by that time the Egyptian soldiers had either surrendered or run away.”
The reason for the Egyptian soldier's flight, he explained, was his interest in his own personal problems and not those of fighting a war with -i foreign nation.
European Nations Helped
General Yadin also stated that the offensive and subsequent defeat of the Egyptian forces was completed before the forces of England and France joined with the Israeli troops in i the final days of the campaign. But under questioning of SC Professor Abner J. Evanns, who stated a report in the British Manchester Guardian that said French pilots were flying the jet planes that participated in the initial drive against the Egyptians, General Yadin said that he couldn’t “deny” his country had been “helped” by the two European nations.
