available in an emergency, includ-
ing number and types of buses
and trucks, number of cabs and

Base Like a Beehive
This base is an orderly bee
hive with jet bombers and fight

dawn to dusk. Operations con-

Bombers and some fighters
head for Egypt. Other fighters
guard the air over Cyprus
although the Egyptians have
made no attempt to bomb here
and If reports of destruction of
their aircraft are accurate prob
ably do not have the capability.
Their safety at home base and
their lack of opposition over
Egypt has given the aircraws a
cheerful, confident attitude. Mo-
Irale certainly is high, although
one pilot complained that he
came out here and hung around
for three months and then when
lit did come we didn't see any,
thing"
These quiet raids give the
crews time to do a bit of sight
seeing. Squadron Leader Alistair
Wilson said, on his return from
Mission Fighter Plane. that he
had seen some fires at Egyptian
Iairfields and some fields that
seemed abandoned.
Leader Waricks crew had flown
over the Suez Canal. They re-
ported some ships anchored In
the canal and thought one was
actually moving.
They also saw one of the block
ships sunk in the canal. however,
and from the description it would
seem likely that the canal is
effectively blocked.

The speaker was Squadron

Flyers Slightly Frustrated
The attitude of most flyers

because they feel it to be not

over a lack Of opportunity tc

at the same time the men here

For two days, however, all
raiders over Egypt have had vir-

other officers said, was typical
of the missions since the earliest
days of this police action" when

This is the time for action

Sir Anthony looked tired and
spoke slowly and solemnly. He
never raised his voice.
The Prime Minister, in ex-
planning the Swiftness of the
Anglo-French bombardment of
Egyptian military targets, de-
cleared: The situation just
could not wait"
! He told of the uneasiness of
the Israeli-Arab border and as
serted:
Again and again the United
Nations had tried to bring a
settlement and peace, but with
out result.
%. There are times for
courage times for action and
this is one of them in the in
terests of peace
Il hope that we have learned
our lesson. Our passionate love
tof peace. our intense loathing
of war. have often held us back
from using force, even at times
when we know in our heads,
If not in our hearts. that its
use was in the interests Of peace.
Aim Is to Stop Fighting

foremost to stop the fighting
and to separate the armies. and
to make sure there is no more

United Nations could not do SO

political future-and some per.

United Nations-by turning dowr

There must be a continuation
of the action" Sir Anthony told
the House Of Commons, as the
best way of stopping Israeli
Egyptian hostilities and preserv.
ing peace in the Middle East.
His strongarm tactics sharply
divided Britons.
T Some were shocked. Some were
proud.
The sentiment outside the

Sir Anthony's argument Of
smothering a small war to pre-
vent a big war was denounced by
the opposition Labor Party.
Sir Anthonys job as Prime
Minister seems secure-at least
until the situation crystalizes
more. The Conservatives have a
comfortable 63-seat margin in
the House,
