JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Suez Canal zone was reported to be quiet Monday with no incidents re- ported since midnight (6 p.m. N.Y. time) when a cease-fire arranged by Lt. Gen. Odd Bull brought to a halt the worst outbreak of fight- ing since a cease-fire agreement ended the June fighting between Israelis and Egyptians. United N ations observers reached the southern canal zone, locale of Sunday's heavy fighting. Israeli sources, however, were skeptical of their effectiveness since, they said, the Egyptians were hindering establishment of communications between the ob- servers on the east and west banks of the canal. The Egyptians were also said to be making difficulties over acceptance of the canal line as the cease-fire line putting the Israelis right on the bank of the canal. From the east bank of the canal it was possible to see the addi- tional troops and the tanks the Egyptians were moving up to the line. The greatest concentration was near Ismailia. Egyptian troops could also be seen busy repairing and strengthening the defensive positions which had been smashed in Saturday's barrages. Gen. Moshe Dayan, minister of defense, gave a detailed report to the Israel Cabinet on the weekend flareup of fighting in the Suez Canal area and on the presence of Soviet warships in Egyptian ports. The presence of the Soviet men-of-war in Port Said, at the northern end of the canal, ac- cording to one view put forward at the meeting, was the reason the Egyptian attacks had shifted from the north end in the vicinity of Ras-el-Eish to the southern end of the waterway. It was suggested that hostilities almost under their bows would have been a source of embar- rassment to the Soviet warships. It was believed here that instruc- tions given to the Soviet fleet commanders did not include direct intervention in any Egyptian- Israeli fighting. The presence of the Soviet war- ships, however, continued to rep- resent an important factor in the situation. While an immediate ef- fect of their presence could be to give the Egyptians the assurance that the Soviet Union was firmly behind them, and thus to encourage them to prolong hostilities, there was concern that the stay of the Red Fleet vessels in Egyptian ports could be the first step towards establishment of permanent Soviet military bases in the Mediter- ranean. Israeli sources said that five MIG jet fighters and one Sukhoi-7 fighter-bomber were shot, down in air battles over the southern end of the canal Sunday. They esti- mated that the Egyptians suffered 80 killed and scores wounded, most of them crews of the guns on the west bank of the canal which Is- raeli planes bombed and strafed to silence. Israel admitted the loss of one plane and Ambassador Gideon Rafael told Secretary-General U Thant at the United Nations that seven Israeli soldiers had been killed, 22 wounded and two were missing. Rafael noted in a letter to the president of the Security Council that Israel favored the "immediate, complete and mutual cessation of all firing in this sector." One reason advanced for the intensity of fighting and for its shift from the north end of the canal to the lower extremity was the fact that Israel vessels, ply- ing out of Port Tewfik, have been sailing on the Suez Canal and the Israeli flag was flying over waters the Egyptians had denied to Israel since 1948. For both Israel and Egypt, the pres- ence of the blue-white flag on the Suez Canal was more, than a . -Matter .of '11resilge. • 4 k Friday, July 21, 1967-11 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Guns Are Silenced by Cease Fire; Israelis Skeptical on the Effectiveness of Observers' Presence; Niagen Davids on Flags at Suez Soviet Union which was actually defeated in the June clash, he declared that the USSR had had the lesson that it could not rely on the Arab armed forces "and While Israel agreed to the sta- s anctions.

Prime Minister Levi Eshkol told the Israel Cabinet today that plans were well advanced for two major meetings in Israel next year to mobilize world Jewry and to enlist capital for the strengthening and develop- ment of Israel. Eshkol said preparatory meet- ings will be held here next month for a large-scale conference of potential investors and industralists which will be convened here next April. In September, he said, 200 Jew- ish leaders are to meet in Jerusalem to prepare for a 1968 conference of representatives of Jewish organizations throughout the world to be attended by more than 1,000. The meetings will bring together leaders of all the organi- zations represented in the World Conference of Jewish Organiza- tions (COJO) which had its annual meeting here last week, the organi- zations composing the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Ameri- can Jewish Committee and others. Eshkol received a COJO delega- tion to discuss plans for the meeting. Watered-Down Resolution on Status of Jerusalem UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) —The special emergency session of the General Assembly adopted a watered-down Pakistan resolu- tion repeating its request in a pre- vious resolution of July 4. calling on Israel to "desist forthwith" from any action altering the status of Jerusalem. T h e resolution, which was co-sponsored by Af- ghanistan, Mali, Guinea, Iran, Somalia and Turkey, was adopted by 99 votes to 0 with 18 absten- tions. The United States was among the countries abstaining. Israel did not participate in the vote. After noting "with the deepest regret and concern" Israel's non- compliance with the earlier similar resolution, the latest action again told Israel to "rescind all mea- sures already taken and to desist forthwith from taking any action which would alter the status of Jerusalem." A clause in the latest resolution requesting the Secretary-General to report on the implementation of the measure was weaker than the earlier resolution in that it failed to specify a time limit for the report. The original draft of the resolu- tion included a clause . requesting the Security Council to ensure im- plementation of the resolution by Israel. As phrased, the clause could have been, interpreted, as a request •to the Conneilio.impose tors on reconnaissance and de- scribed the two others as "technical advisers" on the same subject.

The Soviet Union is seeking to have this question put on the Council's agenda. Hans Busnlak, the Czechoslovak representative, told the plenary session yesterday that his delegation supported the Soviet Union's proposal and would vote to have it added to the Coun- cil agenda. Previously the Soviet Union was unsuccessful in the Security Coun- cil and in the General Assembly in putting through a resolution re- quiring Israel to pay damages to the Arab states. Ben-Gurion Says June War May Not Have Been Last One with Arabs TEL AVIV (JTA) — Former Premier David Ben-Gurion told a group of visiting American Conser- vative rabbis that, because the Soviet Union is supporting the Arab cause, there was no certainty that the June Arab-Israeli war "was the last one." He told the delegation of mem- bers of the Rabbinical Assembly of America that "we are dealing not only with the Arabs but also with the Soviet Union, which con- tinues to supply arms to the Arabs." He said also that he did not believe that the Sov , ets wanted Israel's destruction but that they were well aware that the arms they were sending to the Arabs were destined for use against Israel.
