TEL AVIV, (JTA)—United Na-
tions truce observers are inves-
tigating Israeli complaints of
intensified Egyptian attacks on
Israeli military patrols in the
Gaza strip area. Israel has re-
quested an emergency meeting
of the Israel - Egyptian Mixed
Armistice Commission.
The attacks' reached a high
point with five incidents in the
Beeri area and an attack on a
military vehicle. There have
been 16 such attacks since' April
6, an Israeli military spokesman
revealed. The shootings are a
device to cover Arab peasants
who cross into Israeli territory
and illegally harvest crops, he
added.
An Egyptian soldier, member
of a unit which crossed into Is-
rael in the Gaza strip area, was
killed in an exchange of fire
with an Israeli military patrol.
JTA reports from Lond
claim that the situation along
the Israel-Syrian border is seri-
ously deteriorating.
The report said that Dr. Mar-
ouf Dawaleeby, Syrian Defense
Minister, cancelled a plane trip
to Cairo to consult with Premier
Nasser, in order to attend an
urgent Syrian cabinet meeting
devoted to a discussion of the
frontier situation. No details of
the cabinet meeting, the second
of the day, were available ex-
cept that it concerned the bor-
der.
Two Syrian soldiers died in a
pitched battle between Israeli
and Syrian units inside Israel
territory in the northern Lake
Kinneret area. The Syrian sol-
diers crossed the Israel frontier
with a party of Arab workmen
who came to harvest crops on
land inside Israel. .

The original date for launch-
ing the drive was announced six
weeks ago. However, leaders of

The Informational Media
Guaranty program is helping to
relieve a book shortage in Israel,
reports to the U.S. Information
Agency indicate. This program,
which is administered by the
Agency, provides for the conver-
sion into U.S. dollars of foreign
currencies received by American
publishers from the sale over-
seas of approved informational
materials.
According to Jaap Bar-David
of the. Bar David Literary Agen-
cy of Jerusalem, Israel, high Is-*
raeli production cost for color
plates is being relieved by the
Informational Media Guaranty
program which makes the im-
porting of color work in sheets
commercially feasible.
Mr. Bar-David, who recently
visited the United States seeking
rights to American books for
translation into Hebrew, told
Agency officials that the aver-
age book, once translated, runs
about 20. percent less in bulk
than the American edition. This
cuts paper costs.
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A total
of 482 bachelors and masters
degrees were awarded . at a spe-
cial ceremony of the Hebrew
University.
Of the total number of under-
graduate and graduate students
honored, 141 were women. Among
the students awarded masters
degrees were a number of senior
government officials and mem-
bers of the university teaching
staff.
In addition, 39 doctorates in
philOsolaby, were conferred.
