U. N. Council Delays
Egyptian Israeli
Border Clash Action
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar 24.-The United Nations
Security Council has delayed
action until next week on Egyp-
tian-Israeli border clashes. It
heard a plea by Israel yesterday
for Egypt to join her in a pledge
not to use force along the
frontier.
The plea was made by Israel's
Ambassador Abba Eban in his
counrry's first formal statement
to the Council on the February
% GAIA clash, in which SO
Egyptians and 8 Israeli were
killed.
Mr.. Eban restated Israel's
contention that the GAIA strip
attack was in retaliation for
numerous Egyptian acts of ag-
erosion against Israel.
He told the Council that if
Egypt would agree to convert
the 6-year-old armistice agree
ment into a permanent peace,
Israel would guarantee its people
would not carry out hostile acts
against Egypt. He complained
that Egypt considered herself in
a state of war with Israel and
that therefore anything Egypt
did was all right, while any,
thing Israel did in answer was
wrong.
Egyptian Delegate Omar
Loutf1 said he would answer Mr..
Eban's list of alleged Egyptian
aggressions later. But he insist
ed that the Council deal only
with that odious, brutal attack
in the GAIA strip" the basis of
the Egyptian complaint on the
Council agenda. He accused Mr..
Eban of irving tor drown" the
