New Rash of Violence Breaks Still
Of Israel-Egyptian Border Calm
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The rel-
ative relaxation of Egyptian-Is-
rael tension in the Gaza area was
suddenly broken by an unpro-
voked Egyptian attack on an
Israeli patrol, leading to serious
border clashes.
The Israel government com-
plained to the Mixed Armistice
Commission and requested a
meeting of the commission.
In anger over the latest occur-
rence, Egypt withdrew from. the
,talks with Israel.
The attack on the Israel patrol
took place in the Mefalsim area,
in Israel territory. The Israelis
repulsed the Egyptians and cap-
tured one of their military posts
in the Gaza strip which they held
for several hours. They evacuated
the post when United , Nations
observers arrived on the scene.
It was learned that the patrol
was on open land when attacked
and was forced, in the circum-
stances which developed from the
attack, to sweep in and take the
Egyptian post. There wereno cas-
ualties reported on the Israel side.
Later, an Israel military spokes-
man announced that Egyptian
posts along the Gaza strip shelled
the settlement of Nachal Oz. The
Egyptians, using 80 and 120 mm
mortars, scored a number of hits
in settlement areas and a number
of houses sustained dainage. No
casualties were reported.
In Cairo, it was officially an-
nounced that one Egyptian officer
was killed and four soldiers
soldiers wounded in the clash in
the Gaza strip. An. Egyptian com-
munique said an Israel patrol at-
tacked an Egyptian post, but made
no mention of the capture of the
post or the cause of the attack.
A spokesman for Israel's For-
eign' Ministry said that "the sud-
den large scale and persistent
attacks" by the Egyptians can
only be explained as an Egyptian
attept
attempt to sabotage the Israel-
Egyptian talks ' which have been
going on for some time.
He emphasized that the attacks
have broken out just when efforts
were renewed to break the dead-
lock which the talks reached.

Israelis
Stimulated by Geneva's Atom Parley
GENEVA, (JTA) — Walter
Eytan, director general of Israle's
Foreign Ministry and head of the
Israel delegation to the atoms for
peace conference here, said that
the conference had given a "val-
uable stimulus to Israel's scien-
tific workers, in common with
their colleagues all over the
world."
"Many countries have taken a
friendly interest in Israel's prog-
ress and problems," he declared:
"I hope that the contacts made at
Geneva will prove valuable for
future cooperation between Israel
and other nations.
Spirit of Israel's
Defensive Army
Caught in Story
Out of the dark, the ringing
of shots from Egyptian infiltra-
tors along the Gaza Strip woke
the slumbering settlers of Kib-
butz Ein Hashelesha, but before
they could muster their forces,
several Israeli settlers lay dead.
Thus, "Border Clash," a graphic
account of one of the many raids
on Israel villagers by Arab ma-
rauders, is introduced in this
month's issue of Man's Illustrated,
now on newsstands here.
The eye-witness story of hard-
fought action is told by Reuben
Kaplan, who lived in the village
at the time it was attacked and
who was seriously wounded in
the fighting.
The story points out that in
the years,1949 to 1955, there have
been over 5,000 raids on Israel
territory, in which over 600 men,
women and children have lost
their lives.
The terrifying moments of the
raid on Ein Hashelosha are dra-
matically told by Kaplan, who
was saved by his best friend dur-
ing the skirmish. The friend,
David Schiffer, however, fol-
lowed his wife in death during
the struggle' in which 16 others
also were killed.
The story ends on this note:
" 'Shalom' means 'Peace' and it
is the traditional greeting in Is-
rael. But peace seems far ,away.
There can be no peace until the
raids stop. Until then, the people
of Israel must—and will—fight
to the death."
