The bodies of five Israelis arrive in
Jerusalem in the back of a pickup truck
after they were slain in a desert ambush.
Workers in a potash plant - at Sdom, the
men were returning from the south end of
the Dead Sea to Beersheba in their truck
when they ran into automatic arms fire.
The bullets came from both sides of the
road at a point five miles inside the Israeli
border. A second car managed* to escape.

Stronger Security Measures Demanded by
Israelis; Slaying of 5 Protested *to UN
Tenseness created by renewed murders of Israelis, the am-
bushing of five civilians who were killed last week-end on the
Sdom-Beersheba Road and the resentment against the armistice
commission's failure to draw distinctions between attackers and
attacked, have created new demands for greater security meas-
ures by the Israel government.
Ahdut Avodah, a Socialist group that holds two of the 16
seats in the Israel Cabinet, now demands that Israel should
occupy Arab bases from which marauders have been attacking
Irsaelis.
Hapoel Hamizrachi, which also has two seats in the Cabinet,
also has demanded stronger action by the government.
Arab protests against Canadian sales of 24 jet-fighters to
Israel were rejected by Canadian Prime Minister Louis St.
Laurent.

The only casualty was the en-

Israeli policemen aboard the
train returned the fire, which
came from across the border.
The engineer put on steam and

into Jerusalem, where he was
relieved and hospitalized. The
passengers lay on the floor of
the train during the exchange.
Both incidents followed an
announcement by the Israel
government of its withdrawal

heels of the MAC acceptance of

submitted a complaint about the
murder of five Israelis and the
wounding of a sixth in an at-
tack by Jordanian infiltrators
on two Israeli civilian cars on
the Sdom-Beersheba road.
The statement said that Israel
did not request an investigation.
Ballistics examinations have
revealed that the bullets which
killed the five Israelis in the
road ambush near Sdom came
from guns used in two previous
fatal attacks on Israelis in that
area, the Foreign Minis t r y
spokesman declared. In view of
this information, he continued,

authorities are aware of the
identity of the murderers. The
two earlier attacks, in April and
July, cost a total Of six lives.

Israel charged that the mur-
