Gunfire Exchange
UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) ~ A United Nations report placed on Egypt this week the blame for the January 30 artUlery exchange between Israel and Egyptian forces on the Suez C&nai".
The report, issued by Secretary; General; U Thant, .in effect' substantiated Israeli cliarges that the E||yptian effort to ;%end-survey-boats :into the canal's northern
sector was undertaken, in fiill knowledge of the fact .that Israel had refused to agree to such operations there anif despite last minute warnings ohlsrael'sposition which yvere transmitted to Egypt on the morning of the clash by Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, the UN cease-fire observa¬ tion chief. The goal of the survey was tOoprepare the way to clear the southern end of the canal for the exit of 15 foreign merchant ves¬ sels trapped in the canal since the June war. Israel had agreed to the survey in the southern sector,
THE UN report also sup¬ ported Israel's stand that the Egyptian dispatch of boats from Lake Timsah into tbe northern part ofthe canal was a clear violation,of the -'Egyptian-klsraeHr^ceasesflre** agreement on non-use by eit¬ her nation of the canal.
The Secretary General also indicated a tielief that the 15 ships may be strand¬ ed in the canal indefinitely because of the fighting and that future possiliilities of clearing tlie.,waterway "are In serious doiibt/' Al Ahram,' the authoritative Cairo newspaper, said Egypt would not free the trapped ships untU the Middle East crisis was settled and that; as far as Egyplt was concerned, such salvage operations were finished.
THE UN report said Is¬ raeli flrmness made it nec¬ essary lor the UN Truce Sup¬ ervision Organization to warn Egypt that trouble was likely If the survey boats moved' northward, a warn¬ ing Gen. Bull personally passed on to Egypt, tThant several times asked Israel
to reconsider its opfiosltion, arguing that the survey. In¬ cluding the northern sector, was only a "technical un¬ dertaking." Thant at the UN~ and Gen, Bull inCaIro warn¬ ed Egypt that the V northern survey could not be dpne without risk of a clash,
FOREIGN Minister Abba Eban said inaletter to Thant, on the day after the. clash, that if the canal cease-fire ^ agreement Could be set aside "unUaterally" by Egypt, the precedent would affect "the entire process of establish¬ ment oj peace through the promotion of agreements.
