The Israeli government made the charge last week and Premier Golda Meir warned Israel would fight the Russians if necessary to defend the Suez front.

NEW VORK (UPI) — A group of New York University students who seized a mathematics building Wednesday threatened the life of a computer unless the school comes up with $100,000 bail money to release a jailed Black Panther.
The students, who took over Warren Weather Hall housing the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences at N.Y.U. Tuesday morning, "have implied" they might wreck a computer in the building, a university spokesman said. They demanded that the university ransom it for the price of the bail money for one of the Black Panthers charged with plotting to bomb Manhattan buildings.
The spokesman said the students—whose number fluctuates
from time to time—informed the administration that they have done no damage so far to any property, but said if the money is not forthcoming by 11 a.m. Thursday, they "wouldn't be responsible" for their actions against property—including the computer.
