Israeli territory, the Israel Army
spokesman announced. He said the
patrol returned the fire until UN
observers arranged for a cease
fire, to which both sides agreed.
The Jordanians, however, con-

cease fire was to have taken effect.

Since Passover, several of the
men on the Midway have requested
that they be furnished with Jew-
ish prayer books. Two of the crew
members, Lt. Ronald Lightstone
and Chief Fireman Abec agreed
that regular Friday evening serv-
ices should be held on the Mid-
way after they receive the Jewish
prayer books. It would be so much
simpler, they said, if each man
attending had an individual copy
of the prayer book.

Nasser Attacks Israel
in Moscow Speech; Gets
Enormous Aid Pledge
BALTIMORE (JTA) — Presi-
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of
Egypt, who has just concluded a
series of high-level talks with
Soviet leaders in Moscow, was re-
ported here in dispatches from
the Soviet capital as having left
Moscow with pledges of "enor-
mous" economic and military as-
sistance.
Stephen Nordlinger reported in
a Moscow dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun that Nasser referred to
Israeli-Arab relations in a Moscow
speech. He was quoted as saying:
would like you to know that
17 hostility toward Israel has no
-- N,--Zcist character. In the history
of our area, there has not been
any case of anti-Semitism toward
\ Jews who lived in our countries.
It was precisely the setting up of
Israel that is a manifestation of
aggressive racism used by colonial-
ism for establishing in the center
of the Arab world a base which
prevents the reunification of the
Arab nation, creates a threat to
its security, and diverts its
strength to repel a danger instead
of directing in it the interests of
peaceful economic construction."
President Johnson Sends
Personal Letter to Eshkol
JERUSALEM (JTA) —Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol was presented
today with a letter from President
Lyndon B. Johnson brought by the
President's long-time friend, Jim
Novy, of Austin, Tex. It is assumed
that the letter was in the nature of
a personal introduction rather than
of major political significance.
Novy also presented Premier F,sh-
kol with a scroll certifying his hon-
orary citizenship of Texas which
he visited during his trip to the
United States last year.
