said
/. Sir Oliver Franks, the British
Ambassador, warned Acting Secre-
tary Lovett last Thursday that
unless the Israeli troops withdrew
Britain might have to take action
under its 1886 treaty with Egypt.
This binds both nations to mutual
aid in case of attack.

concerned over possible grave con-
sequences" from the invasion Of
Egypt. Therefore. James Mcdonald,
American representative at Tel Aviv,
was directed to point out dangers of
the situation to the Israeli govern
ment.
Tel Aviv Bombarded Saturday.
3. Then on Saturday Egyptian
naval forces bombarded Tel Aviv and
there was an air raid on Jerusalem.
Therefore, it was decided to tell the
Egyptians also that such incidents
"can only result in further extending
the hostilities"
T. Israel delivered a note yesterday
saying its forces were now with
drawn and declaring there never
was any intent to occupy Egyptian
territory. Egypt has not yet replied.

1t Is known that as early as

Coast at that time was by boat.
During this period many New Or

were fought near the town. Biloxi

lO0-year old Biloxi Lighthouse,
uilt in 1S48, and situated at the
waters edge on the Old Spanish

a modern. paved highway, known
as US. so.
When Biloxi was seized BY
