Sadat reopens
Suez Canal in
step to peace
ABOARD AL HORIYA, Suez Canal WP) - Leading a
convoy of Egyptian ships dwarfed by a big American
cruiser, President Anwar Sadat reopened the Suez
Canal yesterday after eight years of war and uneasy
peace.
Smiling broadly and dressed in the white uniform of
an admiral, Sadat lead the ceremonial convoy on the
bridge of the Egyptian destroyer "October 6", named
for the date on which Egyptian troops stormed across
the Suez Canal in 1973 to recapture part of the east
bank.
SAILORS, teen-agers and aging boatmen in white
turbans jammed small boats to follow the convoy.
Many hung from the rigging or perched on top of masts
chanting "Sadat! Sadat!" Crowds lining the canal banks
clapped and danced to the rhythm of reed flutes and
leather drums.
"I have been feeling very happy since the moment
I arrived in Port Said," Sadat told a reporter aboard
his dstroyer. ". . . It has been one of the happiest mo-
ments of my life when we started transiting the canal
again after eight years.
"Let this be a message to the whole world that we
have taken a practical step to peace not just in
words." Israel will send cargo through the newly re-
opened Suez Canal in the near future and Egypt will
let it pass unchallenged, U. S. officials said yesterday.
TlHE SHIPMENT will be aboard non-Israeli vessels
under a provision of January 1974 Israeli-Egyptian
agreements calling for military disengagement in the
Suez Canal area.
The American sources did not have the date of the
Israeli shipment, and they expressed strong doubt that
Israel would make a prior public announcement. "In
that sense, there will be no test case," one official
said. "Our understanding is that the goods will be ship-
ped through without either side acknowledging it."
The 18,500-ton guided missile carrier Little Rock, a
flagship of the U. S. Fleet, became the first foreign
warship to sail down the strategic waterway since it
was closed by Arab-Israeli hostilities in 1967.
The reopening was tiued to coincide with the anni-
versary of the June 1967 Six Day War, which brought
Israeli troops to the east bank of Suez Canal and
forced Sgypt to close it.
