Israelis' Initial Elation Plummets: This Is No 6-Day War By DAVID LANDAU (Copyright 1973, JTA, Inc.) JERUSALEM (JTA) — The atmosphere, the mood of the people in the towns of Israel, has changed sharply. From near-elation Monday noon , when—to judge by the radio —the tide of battle was turn- ing, and turning fast, the feeling of the people has be- come one of uneasy concern. Because the elation was pre- mature and overdone, so, therefore, is the current wor- ried, pensive mood which grips the nation overdone. The reason is not far to seek — many observers have noted it: The average Israeli is still thinking in terms of the Six-Day War, when the initiative was Zahal's, the battles were fought on each front consecutively and not concurrently, and the enemy was not nearly so powerful, so well-trained or so prepared to give battle. Editorial writers in the daily papers, aware of the hard struggle which still lies before Zahal, warned the people not to be over-exhilar- ated — and their articles con- ELEGANT LIVING in West Bloomfield WEST BLOOMFIELD LAKE ESTATES Homes from $68,900 GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES Homes from $63,500 on the Shenandoah Golf Course Model and Sales Office Tequesta Dr. 3 Blks.

"Indeed we have been spoilt," wrote Yediot Ahro- not in its editorial. "Spoilt a little by the army which has got us used to giddy victories after only hours of warfare . . . but it is not always pos- sible to repeat giddy vic- tories . . . " The Jerusalem Post is sober, too: "Despite the ad- vances on the ground, and the supremacy in the skies which Israel has enjoyed throughout, there is every reason to believe that stiff fighting lies ahead. What we have succeeded in doing is to stunt the enemy's advance and push him back. But the main offensive push still lies ahead. And her e Israel's armed forces will be facing, an enemy that has been pre- paring for war for many months . . . " These objective words came as a shock to most Is- raelis because the radio had been painting through the evening hours a rosy picture. Repeatedly, its reporters in Sinai reported the "annihila- tion" of Egyptian a r m o r which they saw proceeding before their eyes. It was therefore a rude awakening to learn that new armor had crossed the water overnight.

David E l a z a r seemed to indicate that -Is- raeli forces were on the point of crossing the cease-fire lines. Listeners were there- fore made uneasy by the news Tuesday—repeated all morn- ing and into the afternoon — that the Israel army was holding a line "five to seven kilometers east of the canal." There was no hint, moreover, of a forward movement in Sinai. There was also the report released of the Frug missile damage in the north which had people worried. More buoying were reports of suc- cessful bombing inside Syria and in Damascus itself as well as successful ground action on the Golan. Around the World In Paris, French Foreign Minister Michel Jobert justi- fied the attack on Israel. He told newsmen: "I wonder if one should consider as a surprise attack the attempt to re-enter into one's own homeland." JTA reports from Paris that strong French police con- centrations have been massed in the Belleville area of the city to prevent possible Arab- Jewish fighting. Police have also increased their guards at Jewish and Israeli installa- tions in the French capital. The Israeli Consulate in Par- is reported that hundreds of volunteers have been stream- ing in all day asking to enlist in the Israeli army and hun- dreds of others have phoned offering financial contribu- tions to Israel's armed forces. In London, JTA learned from Jewish sources in the Soviet Union that groups of Jewish activists all over the USSR have sent messages of sympathy and encouragement for Israel. Some have di- rected their messages through the usual postal channels; others have used telephone convefsations to ask friends abroad to convey their anxiety about the new war in the Middle East. President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia, which has de- clared that it was joining the war against. Israel, called on the Tunisian army and police to prevent "anti-Semitic or racial demonstrations." Radio Tunis said the president took these precautions to prevent possible demonstrations, though none had been re- ported. Radio Algiers announced Sunday that the first Moroc- can medical teams arrived in Syria and Egypt Sunday morning and have already reached both fronts. Small groups of pro-Arab and pro-Israel demonstrators hurled epithets at each other in front of the Israeli UN Mission in New York Sunday morning. Police kept the two groups apart. Reaction to the new Middle East war continued to pour in from world capitals. In Oslo, Norwegian Foreign Minister D a g f inn Vaaril called on the U.S. and Soviet governments to exert pres- sure on the parties involved to end the hostilities. Unconfirmed reports reached Tel Aviv that mem- bers of various Arab terrorist organizations have been trained in Czechoslovakia by the Czech army special field engineering branch. The training includes acts of sab- otage, according to Yediot Ahronot. According to the re- port, the commander of the training detail is a former SS man named Roman Go- mota. Gomota, 56, was a close friend of Ernest Kaltenbrun- ner, one of the leaders of the Nazi regime. Congressmen Nixon Meet State Henry A.
