resulted In his delegationef some ifiuictibns to Us Cabinet! colleagties, Mrs. Eshkol was at his side.    <v
THE EL FATAH terrorist. organization claimed that Mr. Eshkol died of wounds suffered/when terrorists Shelled his residence ih De¬ gania Bet on Lake Tltierias two weeks: ago, Israeli of¬ flcials lioted he'^liad not been in Degania since the be¬ ginning of the month and called the Arab caltan utter nonsense.)

ister's residence after his ;<ieath' and designated Deputy Prime Minister Ylgal Allmi as Act^'Prime Minister for the next 30 days.
AS MR. ESHKOL'S death became known after an an¬ nouncement on Kol Israel, ^ nation went into mourning for 30 days. Messages from world, leaders, heads of Je¬ wish organizations and tihe nian in the street—J;ewish and non-Jewish—poured into Israel.
The big question in Israel ' tww is who wUl become Pre¬ mier after the 30-day mourn¬
ing period is oyer and lead the nation uiitil the general elections (in October. Mr. Eshkol had been able tdkeep ihe various factions in the Labor Piairty government united, but personal and po- .-litlcal rivalries are now ex- ' peeted to result in a leader¬ ship struggle.
LEADING, contenders are Mr. Allon, Mfaiister Without Portfolio Pinhas Sapir, for¬ mer Foreign Minister Golda Meir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. There is no disagreement among them about Foreign and mUitary
policy and.the choice wUl probably be based on the strength ot the contenders within therulingIsrael Labor Parlyi-
(Reports received in Lon¬ don from Cairo and Beirut indicate that Arab leaders dre-yery concerned over the succeissioii. They reportedly considet'ed Mr. Eshkol a mo¬ derating Uifluence and view the appointmentof Gen..AUbn and the possible designation of Gen. Dayan as signs that the "mUltary authorities" are gaining control of the Israeli Government.)

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — C^o appeared tb be suf¬ fering f^om a severe case of jitters in the aftermath of Israel's U^avy bombtini; at-^ tack-on two teiTorist i6amp$ "to 'S;^jHtur^ho.^au^^ '-pdroaevdSa^^'iiyKia's^^ announced that E^gypt was on a "maximum a)lert.'^ It re¬ ported that the peoples' hiUi- tia, civU idefense systems, hospitals, fire departments and pubUc utilities were be¬ ing manned cih an "emer- - gency Basis."
Observers here said the alert was probably prompted by fear of further Israeli air strikes on Arab territory to retaliate for the terrorist attack on an El Al airliner in Zurich last week andthe bombing of Jerusalem's largest supermarket.
TWO ISRAELI Afar Force jets streaked low over Jor¬ dan to blast guerriUa posi¬ tions near the deserted vU- lage of Manshneyeh. The air strike foUowed mortar, ma¬ chine-gun and bazooka at¬ tacks fi:om Jordanian ter¬ ritory cm an IsraeU patrol in the vicinity of the Beisan VaU^ settilement Of Neve Urr.
Observers beUeve thatthe dawn air assault on the El Fatah headquarters at El Hamma, six mfles trom Da¬ mascus, and on the Messa- loun terrorist camp near the Lebanese border, marked a new phase of Israeli strat^iy lAich includes striking di¬ rectly at guerriUa head¬ quarters. TMs theory ap¬ peared to be confirmed in statements made later hy Minister of Police EUahu Sasson and Gen. Haim Her¬ zog, a Government spokes¬ man. Mr. Sasson told tbe Knesset that Israel could not aUow terrorists to con¬ tinue attacks of binocent civiUans an^.that it would take " seUrdefensef^" - mea- mgs§ in'.,)ce(^ping,with its /gsUmate of a situatico.
'<We wiU reach out and get them wherever they are," he declared. The Knesset endorsed the Sas¬ son position wMch was der Uvered on behalf of the Gov¬ ernment. It was interpreted
as meaning that Israel con¬ siders itself free to Mt back at terrorists wherever they are and not necessarUy in reply to a special terrorist ai^.%afaist IsraeL or its nationals. .Qeh; Herzog de- daXed'od Jeriis^eini'iradio that Arab governments were responsible for terrorist
acts because they harbored the guerriUas. "Isreal bas no option now but to strike in depth and create a situ- atiiiRi wMchwiU befaiWer- d>\e tor^^^ho^.E^overnr
