They are believed to have been hit wounded by a hand grenade that by Soviet SAM-2 anti-aircraft missiles which hitherto have had little success against low flying supersonic jets. The only ac- knowleged Israeli loss to SAM-2s until Tuesday was a propellor driven Piper Cub. Some quarters here observed that the accuracy of the SAM-2 missiles indicated that they were operated by Russian technicians. But there was also speculation and a degree of alarm over the possibility that the two planes were victims of the new SAM-3 missies being fired in combat and little doubt that the highly sophis- ticated radar guidance aparatus was operated by Soviet personnel. SAM-3 missile launchers are known to be distributed widely over central Egypt to protect such vital targets as Alexandria, Cairo and the Aswan High Dam. Israel's incessant pounding of Egyptian positions along theWest Bank of the Suez Canal and a strip some 20 miles deep inland from the waterway has been intended to forstall the placement of SAM-3s in the canal zone. Some sources here said the missions — SAM-2s — were prob- ably positioned on the so called "Red Line" which marks the western limit of the canal zone strip where Israel has maintained uncontested aerial supermacy. Israeli authorities approached International Red Cross represen- tatives with regard to the three pilots who bailed out over Egypt. They were identified as Eyal Achkoar, Rami Har Paz and Itzhak Fier. According to a report from Cairo, Fier suffered a fractured hand and some bruises but the others sustained no injuries. In addition to the three, Egypt also is holding another Israeli pilot, Avinoam Kaldes, who bailed out several months ago, two Israeli soldiers kidnaped in a commando raid across the Suez Canal last month and an Israeli officer and two civilian canteen workers cap- tured in another commando raid several months ago. Israel air force jets attacked Egyptian military positions in the Suez Canal Zone intermit- tently Monday night and return- ed safely to their bases. Israeli jets attacked guerrilla bases in Jordan for a half hour Tues- day morning after Beisan Town- ship was twice hit by Katyusha rockets fired - from Jordanian territory. There were no casual- ties and the only damage was broken glass. The planes were called in after Israeli artillery opened fire on the guerrilla posi- tions. Katyusha rockets were fired at Yardena Tuesday morning but caused no casualties or damage. Several bazooka shells were fired Monday night at an Israeli position in the Golan Heights causing no casualties. The fire was returned. Several bursts of fire were aimed at Israeli troops on Mt. Hermon Monday night without causing cas- ualties.

It is expected that about 125,003 boys and girls age 10-16 will be spending their summer vacation in camps run by Jewish organi- zations in the United States this year. The over-all number of coun- selors in the Jewish summer camps this year will near the 4,000 mark. The counselors who have gone to America under the auspices of the youth and hehalutz department of the World Zionist Organization have been screened and selected from a total of 4,500 candidates. For the most part they are stu- dents, university graduates or members of kibutzim, and all have had wide experience among youth. Since they are expected to rep- resent Israeli culture and effec- tively to engage in the various activities in the camps, their quali- fications and experience must be wide and varied. The participation of Israeli counselors in summer camps for Jewish youth in the United States commenced five years ago when 18 counselors were invited from Israel to work in the Ramah camps run by the Conservative movement in America. Since then, their number has grown annually, reaching the peak figure of 250 this year. The Israeli counselors will this year serve in camps organized by the various central Jewish organi- zations in the United States, affili- ated with the Conservative, Ortho- dox and Reform trends, as well as with the halutzic movements. Twelve of the counselors will be attached to summer camps in Canada. exploded in the Gaza market place. The bodies of two Syrian soldiers were found in a burnt- out armored personnel carrier des- troyed by Israeli gunfire during last Friday's fighting. Bazookas and other weapons were found on the bodies. Syrian soldiers were seen clearing away the rubble of fortifications destroyed by Israeli forces. . Syrian artillery shelled their own positions on their side of the cease-fire line yester- day in the mistaken belief that the fortifications were still oc- cupied by Israeli troops. JERUSALEM (JTA) — Syrian troops stationed along the cease fire line are under orders to assist Palestinian guerrillas operating against Israel, but only if they have written permission for their operation from the defense min- istry in Damascus, an Israeli mili- tary spokesman disclosed. He said this and other informa- tion was gleamed from the inter- rogation of 38 soldiers taken pris- oner during Israel's retaliatory armored thrust into Syria last Fri- day. the Syrians, all enlisted men, disclosed that they had been aban- doned by their company com- mander who left just before the battle on the pretext of gathering more intelligence. They said that assistance to the guerrillas took the form of supply- ing provisions, information and covering fire. If Israeli opposition at one point seems too strong, Syrian troops redirect the guer- rillas to other points along the cease-fire line. Nevertheless, Da- mascus maintains strict control over the guerrillas' activities, the soldiers revealed. They also re- ported that Syrian military au- thorities are delaying the discharge of some conscripts due to be re- leased from service. The army announced the final tally of Syrian casualties and losses in last week's fighting. Ac- cording to a military spokesman, Syrian forces suffered 103 men killed, 131 wounded, 21 tanks burned out, 10 tanks damaged by direct hits, nine anti-tank guns and recoilless cannons destroyed, along with 49 bunkers and shelters, three vehicles and 16 other struc- tures. (In the battle on the Golan Heights, 10 Israelis were killed, 37 were wounded and a pilot, 22-year- old Boaz Eytan, was taken prisoner after his plane was shot down. Four of the 10 dead were members of a medical team, on a false-alarm mercy mission to a UN observers' outpost. (The team, including a doctor and orderlies, were on their way to the outpost after hearing that some of the UN personnel had been wounded by Syrian gunfire and were in need of medical attention. Their halftrack was hit by a Syrian tank shelL It later turned out that the report was inaccurate and that no UN men were wounded.) Friday, July 3, 1970-5 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Rep. Conyers, Signer of Statement Backing Israel, Discounts Panthers Two days after signing a strong statement calling for American response to Israel's request for jets, Congressman John Conyers (1st District-Dem.) commented on the black community's atitude to- ward Israel's position in the Middle East. At a press conference Tuesday, attended by Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr. and William Clay, black congressman from Missouri, Con- yers said the statement represents the attitude of most black lead- of the community but, he admit- ted, not the people in the com- munity. He explained: "Probably most black people do not understand the international implications of the Mid East situa- tion because they are too involved with their daily existence and sur- vival." He said the Black Panthers' position against Israel did not affect most of the community. The black identiy that the Pan- thers have impressed on the peo- ple, he said, is again related to daily survival. "The people probably don't even realize the international implica- tions of events in their own daily lives." (See related story on last page).
