The Michigan Daily Vol, LXXXV, No. 22-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, June 6, 1975 Ten Cents Twelve Pages 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.
