Egypt, Libya clash at border

bombed the village of al-Mar-
jas "including all its civilian
installations, aiming to kill wo-
men, the aged and children."
The official Libyan statement
accused Egypt of "direct ag-
gression" and saiddthe Libyan
people intend to defend their
land "and the sanctity of their
soil'..
The broadcast called the
Egyptian account "a baseless

alumni.
"The quality of any university
is difficult to maintain. We sur-
vive not only because of public
support but also through the
great help you've given us,"
Fleming told the 150 persons
gathered for the groundbreaking
ceremony.
'The department's goal is to
establish a national center for
naval arcihtecture and marine
engineeriig, encompassing edu-
cation, research and technologi-
cal developments," Knott told
the group gathered under a yel-
low and green striped tent.
TWO-THIRDS of the naval
architects in the U.S. have grad-
uated from this department.
"For the department it's a big
move, but not on the University
level," Ogilvie said earlier. "But
I think the major point is that
the funds for construction came
as a direct result of our capital
campaign."
The College of Engineering
has been in the process of mov-
ing to North Campus since the
mid-Fifties. The move was in-
itiated by Dean George Granger
Brown.

lie and completely false," say-
ing "its purpose was to mis-
lead innocent Egyptian officers
and men and also to mislead
the Egyptian people and to dis-
trct them from the serious in-
terral problems they are ex-
periencing."
EFFORTS WERE under way
in Cairo to convene an emer-
gency meeting of the Arab
League to resolve the conflict.
Reports indicated Mahmoud
Riad, the league's secretary
general, was in urgent consul-
tations with the member states
trying to convene a meeting at
the foreign minister level.
Ciad issued a statement de-
ploring the "terrible incidents
along the border" and urging
the - sides not to escalate the
conflict.
Cairo radio said, "A force of
Libyan armored cars supported
by artillery opened fire on the
Egyptian military post at Sa-
lum, forcing Egyptian troops to
confront the aggressor and
chase them back west of the
village of Musaid on the Lib-
yan side of the border.
"LIBYAN PLANES tried to
raid our posts. Egyptian air de-
fenses downed two planes. With
the entrance of the Libyan air
force, it was inevitable the
Egyptian air force also should
become engaged to protect the
E yptian ground forces," Cairo
radio said. The radio did not
say how long the battle lasted.
The reported clash between

the two Arab nations was the
fourth border incident in a
month between oil-rich Libya
a ii d economically troubled
Egypt. The two once planned to
unite and form one nation.
An Egyptian military com-
minique said Egypt's counter-
attack was "in retaliation for
Lihyan aggression and intend-
ed to secure Egypt's western
border."
The most serious of the pre-
vious clashes took place two
days ago and led to the destruc-
lion of 20 Libyan military ve-
hicles and their crews and left
nine Egyptians dead, Cairo ra-
dio said.
Egypt accused Libya Wednes-
day of seeking to overthrow
President Anwar Sadat by en-
gaging in a "large-scale terror-
ist plot" with Moslem fanatics
who earlier this month kidnap-
ed and killed Sheik Mohammed
Zababi,. former religious af-
fairs minister in the Egyptian
cabinet.
