JERUSALEM. — The United
Arab Republic Israel Mixed Ar-
mistice Commission condemned
Israel Tuesday for violating of
Egyptian air space on May 26.
The Israel delegation, which has
boycotted the commission's
meetings for the past five years,
was not present at Tuesday's
meeting.
The commission supported
the UAR complaint charging
that Israel jet fighters crossed
the frontier and engaged Egyp-
tian fighters over the Sinai des-
ert. It called upon Israel to
"desist from such warlike acts."

were engaged by two Israeli
jets. One of the Egyptian planes
was seen trailing smoke as it
disappeared over the Sinai des-
ert, the Israeli report declared.

with the Williams-Hart For-
est in Israel, planted in honor
of Governor Williams and

trees have been planted in
Joffe's memory and the hope
was expressed that memorials
