sraeli-Arab Tension Flares Again
TEL AVIV (Reuters )-Egyptian
coastal batteries opened fire on an
Israeli motor fishing boat off the
Gaza coastal strip Monday as Israeli sources reported a deterioration of the tense Arab-Israeli border situation.
Therc wcre no casualties and the
fishing boat sailed out of range of
the euns, an Israeli military
spokesman said.
(Cairo radio reporting thc shelling said thc boat violated Egyptian territorial waters, and Egypt
protested to the mixed armistice
commission.)
Israel also said a unit of "Egyp
tian-trained saboteurs" from Jordan wrecked a carpenter's shop
and damaged water installations,
but wi'i*out causing casualties, hi
thc village of Avouka on lhe west
bank of the River Jordan, Therc
were at least three explosions, one
apparently from a time-bomb, lhc
spokesman said.
AMBUSHED TRUCKS
He said that an armed unit from
Jordan Monday ambushed two
trucks on one of Israeli's busiest
highways, near Affulch. Onc of thc
trucks was hit by several bullets
and Uic driver was wounded in thc
leg.
Thc Israel foreign ministry said
the worsening of thc border situation in the last 24 hours was part
of an "organzed guerrilla campaign" conducted by Egypt.
Since Nov. 5, when a house at
Sdeh Hemcd was blown up, similar attacks have occurred "with
ominous frequency and regularity," the ministry said.
The ministry said acts of hostility "go hand in hand" with rejection by Egypt of proposals by
United Nations Secretary General

M. Burns of Canada, for settling
thc problem of the El Auja demilitarized zone which was the

The plan is reported to propose
withdrawal of both Israeli and
Egyptian troops from both sides <

when thc Pope's illness reached a
climax—on Dec. 2, 1954—and he
was reciting the prayer "Anima
Christ! (Soul of Christ)."
SECRET UNTIL NOW
Oggi said:
"The secret about the episode
was kept until now and only thc
affectionate indiscretion of one of
those knowing it enabled us to
learn and tell of the marvelous
episode, which undoubtedly will
move thc Catholic faithful throughout the world ....
"Tlie Holy Father is perfectly
sure lie saw Jesus—it was no
dream; in that moment he -vas
fully awake and clear-minded."
It said that when the Pontiff
came lo the invocation of the
prayer, "in horae mortis meac.
voca me (In the hour of my death,
call me)," the Pope saw "the
sweet person of Jesus Christ at
his bedside."
"In that moment," Oggi continued," "the Holy Father believed
that the Teacher came to call him
to Himself and, serenely answering to the call, he continued the
prayer: 'jube me venire id te
(order mc to come to you).' Jesus,
however, did not come to take
him, but to console him and give
him certainty that his hour had not
yet come."
It was from that moment, said
Oggi, that the Pope "started to Im-
prove in such a sudden manner
that many people considered it a
miracle."
A member of the Vatican congregation of holy rites, the church
agency concerned with beatification and canonization, said hc
could recall no such reported vision since Jesus appeared to St.
Peter wheh thc apostle was fleeing*
persecution of early Christians in
Rome.
Roman Catholic writings tell oi
the appearance of Christ—usually
as lhe infant Jesus—to various
saints, among them St. Anthony oi
Padua  and St.  Christopher.
'Sea Quake' Caused
Loss of Crew of
"Ghost Ship"
AUCKLAND (AP)-Marine inspectors Monday completed a preliminary survey of the 70-ton
"ghost ship" Joyita and reported
the disappearance of her 25 passengers and crew could be explained in only one way — "seaquake."
The Joyita, now at Suva, Fiji
islands, was found drifting and de
sorted in the south Pacific three
weeks ago, She had .sailed from
Samoa on a two-day voyage to the
Tokelau islands on Oct. 3; A big
air-sea search uncovered no trace
of the missing passengers and
crew. The Fiji government ruled
out piracy.
Investigators said Monday the
only imaginable cause of the disaster was an undersea eruption
that threw everyone overboard.
Marine inspectors have requested details of what happened
to the Tongan vessel Hafifoa, victim of an underwater eruption
six months ago. Thc Hafifoa,
carrying 40 persons, was thrown
on her beam ends when the sea
suddenly boiled beneath her. Every
one ahdard was pitched into the
sea, All managed to get aboard
again except one child, who was
drowned.
Says 'People's Car'
To Revolutionize
Auto Industry
LONDON (Rculers)-An ultramodern "people's car" designed by
tractor king Harry Ferguson is
Britain's secret weapon in the war
for aulo export markets and will
"revolutionize" the industry, a
spokesman for his company said
Monday.
Details of the car are a closely-
guarded secret, but at a pre-tax
cost of from £400 to £450 it will
include heretofore expensive conveniences such as automatic transmission.
The government is keenly interested in Ferguson's car as a means
ot winning back the auto export
trade. The designers claim the car,
with its technical advances, will
outstrip in performance any car of
comparable price.
The spokesman said Monday: "A
prototype has been tested 'against
every make of car from America,
Italy, Germany, France — all of
Ihem. It outperformed every one."

Savs Man Accused
Of Plane Sabotage
Bought Dynamite
DENVER (AP)-In a face-to-face
meeting in jail Monday, a Krem-
ming, Colo., store operator identified John Gilbert Graham, 23, as
thc man who bought from him "20
or 2j" sticks of dynamite, detonating cap;; and wiring Oct. 29.
Graham is accused of rigging a
dynamiie bomb and placing it in
his mother's luggage before she
boarded a United Air Lines plane
Nov. 1 at, Denver. Thc plane blew
up in flight, carrying Graham's
molhcr and 43 others, including
Mrs, Alma Winsor of St. John's,
Nfld., to death. Graham, in interviews, has repudiated a statement
of admission wheh federal officials
said he made.

thc East-West deadlock on dii-
armament had not been broken at
the last Big Four foreign ministers' conference in Geneva.
The Soviet premier addressed
India's 700 members of Parliament
in a speech read in Hindi for him.
He is on a 15-day state visit hcrt
with Russia's Communist party
chief, Nikita Khrushchev, who also
had a speech read for him.
The visit has been interpreted
by foreign observers here as an
effort to ensure India's continued
neutrality and to increase Soviet
influence in Asia. Bulganin's address, dwelling mainly on disarmament, struck many points o!
agreement with India's repeated
calls to avpid a nuclear war.
Bulganin said: "To our great re.
grot, our effort to end the dead*
lock on thc o.uestion of disarmament and the prohibition of atomic
and hydrogen weapons has not so
far brought about positive results.
"As a matter of fact, thc United
Stales, Britain  and France have
supermarket   at   Krcmmling,   in: backed down from what they them
selves proposed at the beginning
of this year."
(A British government spokesman said in London later that Britain still stands by the Anglo-
French plan of last year for fixed
levels of armed forces a nd a
phased schedule for banning nuclear weapons. He said the plan
is subject of course to agreement
first on methods of control—the Issue which produced the Geneva
deadlock.)
Bulganin said Russia considers
a ban on atomic weapons thc most
import aspect of disarmament but,
to show goodwill, had accepted the
West's proposals for fixing levels
of the armed forces and dates for
a ban on atomic weapons.

Crippled Plane
At Gander After
Perilous   Flight
Reaches   Newfoundland   After   Ttvo
E/ig
ines
Fail
By GERALD FREEMAN
A United States Air Force B-
29 staggered in for a safe landing at Gander airport.in Central
Newfoundland Monday after a 7'A
hour battle to keep aloft, first on
three engines, then on two.
The first engine failed about
10.30 a.m. local time while the
big aircraft was out from a base
in England on-a routine ice and
weather patrol, about 750 miles
off the Newfoundland coast.
Thc plane's skipper, Capt.
Howard Evans, had to cut the
engine opposite thc dead one
two hours later. Oil was spewing
out of thc idle engine from dual
pumps, and thc craft was out of
trim.
For a frightening half-hour
the plane lost almost 200 feet of
altitude a minute. She dropped
from 10,000 feet to 5,000 feet,
then held steady.
Capt. Evans battled with the
sluggish, power-starved super-
fort for five hours more, until
the welcome voice of the TCA
tower at Gander began talking
him in while still 20 miles away.
Glancing out past the two
feathered propcllors Capt. Evans
could see rescue aircraft from
lhe U.S. naval base at Argentia,
Nfld., hovering nearby. The e*
cort aircraft reached the struggling supcrfort 400 miles from
the coast.
.They stood by in case the
crew had to bail out over the
frigid-storm tossed ocean or tht
wilds of Newfoundland. It wat
raining most of the distance as
the slowed plane floundered toward land.
Gander appeared as light was
draining from the late afternoon sky. Capt Evans gingerly
lost altitude until thc gallant aircraft lumbered wearily in for an
uneventful landing. \  .
Thc U.S. Northeast Air Command did nol say what caused
thc engine failure.
Thc hometown. of Capt. Evans
and thc English base from which
be flew are not known here. Ht
planned to return, to England as
soon as the ailing engine Is repaired.
