initiated a year ago by Dr. Abra-

Board of Deputies of British
Jews, to secure coordination
among the various Anglo-Jewish
organizations in the sphere pf
foreign affairs, with special ref-
erence to approaches to the Brit-
ish government, have been un-
successful, Dr. Cohen told a
meeting of the Board.
He laid chief responsibility for
that failure at the door of the
Anglo-Jewish Association, sup-
ported by the Agudas Israel, and
declared that the status of the
Board as the representative
body of British Jewry was being
challenged, asserting that this
was a challenge that not the
Board alone but the entire corn-
, rnunity must meet "squarely."
Dr. Cohen said that the AJA
and the Agudah had rejected, in
effect, the argument that be-
cause the Board was the elected
representative body of British
Jewry it alone was entitled to
speak and act in the name of
.British Jewry. "They 'demanded

Three More Jews Sentenced in Egypt
LONDON — Three Jews were sentenced Tuesday to
prison terms with hard labor on charges of "Communist
and Zionist" espionage and attempts to overthrow the
Egyptian government by Egypt's highest military tribunal,
it was reported here in dispatches from Cairo. Four others,
including a young woman identified as Joyce Blau, were
acquitted.
The court which tried the seven Jews was the same
one which condemned two other Jews to death in January
on charges of espionage for Israel. The two Jews were
subsequently hanged.
The Jews who were convicted Tuesday were Henri Vita
Cohen, 28, newspaper employe, who received an eight-
year-term; Joseph Osmo, 27, who was given an eight-year-
term, and Nessim Nahmias, 19, who was sentenced to three
years. •

UN May Ignore Demand for Sanctions
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA) — The belief that
the United Nations Security Council would not act on the
Egyptian request for condemnation and sanctions against
Israel in connection with the Gaza incident was expressed
here in evaluations of the report presented by Maj. Gen.
E. L. M. Burns, UN truce chief, to the Council last Thurs-
day.
Non-Israel circles here are of the opinion that the
Burns report makes it quite clear that incidents on the
Arab-Israel border are unavoidable as long as the Arab
countries refuse to negotiate peace with the Jewish State.
In the light of the views expressed by Gen. Burns it is ex-
pected that the Security Council will adopt a resolution
deploring the Gaza incident and urging Egypt and Israel to
take measures to prevent new incidents.
It is no secret . here that many of the Arab diplomats
were stunned by the tone of Gen. Burns' report, as well as
by the contents of . the- document. The report placed, the
Feb. 28 clash at Gaza in perspective against the tense bor-
der conflicts of the last few months. In his report, Gen.
Burns not only indicated that Egypt was responsible for
more aggressive acts. than Israel, but he also showed that
Egyptian officials admitted that some of the acts of "mur-
der and sabotage" had indeed been committed by Arabs
crossing the Israel borders.
The Council will meet again this week, when it will
hear a statement from Israel's chief of delegation, Abba
S. Eban. Mr. Eban refused at last Thursday's meeting to
make any comment, after Gen. Burns had reported and
after the Burns report had been discussed by Egypt's
representative, Dr. Omar Loutfi, Mr. Eban's maneuver of
silence at Thursday's Council , session was highly corn-
mended by many observers here, who pointed out that
there was really no need for the Israel diplomat to try to
improve Israel's position after the Council had heard the
report by Gen. Burns.
Border Incidents Continue; Three Killed
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — One Israel watchman was killed
and another wounded by Jordanian infiltrators near Mount
Gilboa. The watchmen's rifles were stolen by the infiltra-
tors after the attack, Israel immediately demanded an em-
ergency meeting- of the Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistice
Commission. -
At the same time it was reported that two Egyptian
infiltrators were killed within Israel territory during a clash
with an Israel patrol, when they were harvesting fields
near the border settlement of Kissufim. In this case, Israel
lodged a complaint with the Israel-Egyptian Mixed Armis-
tice Commission.
An Israel military vehicle was landmined in the Kis-
sufim area. The four occupants of the car were injured
slightly.
