Fighting Ended,
Israel Says

TEL AVN, Israel, Nov. 8 up.
Israel says fighting has stopped
on the Egyptian front and her
forces occupying Egypt's vast
desert Sinai Peninsula have been
ordered not to shoot.
A government spokesman said
Israeli representatives at the
United Nations were instructed
last night ITO confirm once again
that Israel agrees to q cease
fire"
Israel said nothing, however,
about giving up any Of the
Sinai Peninsula its troops won
in q desert march against the
Egyptians that began q week
ago. Israeli forces hold outposts
Overlooking the Suez Canal 1870
miles west Of the tiny nations
borders. and repeatedly have
captured the Egyptian fortifica-
lions at the peninsula's southern
tip that blocked the use of her
port on the Gulf Of Aquaba.
U. N. Calls for Peace
The U. N. General Assembly
has ordered Israel. Egypt, Brit
ain and France to quit fighting
and withdraw all troops behind
the lines established in armis-
tice agreements that ended the
1948-49 Palestine war. Israeli
officials now say they regard the
armistice with Egypt as dead.
Egypt has told the U. N. it will
comply with the cease-flre on
condition 1t not be supplemented
lin case attacking armies con-
tinue their aggression" Israel
has said it would comply with
the cease-fire If Egypt did the
same.

Israeli spokesman refused to
give their own casualties or
losses in material. But one
spokesman said casualties were
comparatively few, and material
losses only a fraction Of Egypt's.
