Israel, Egypt trade air strikes at Suez
By United Press International
By Stephen Press Racquetball Egyptian and Israeli warplanes traded air strikes Tuesday across the Suez Canal front lines. Israel said two Soviet-built Egyptian Sukhoi 7 fighter-bombers were shot down in a dogfight, but Egypt claimed all of its planes returned safely.
A senior Israeli military officer told newsmen in Jerusalem that Egypt has opened a "spring offensive" along the canal to wrest the initiative on the ground and in the air from Israel, and that Israel's steady air strikes were aimed at breaking the offensive.
In Cairo, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser was reported
holding high level conferences with Libyan and Iraqi officials on the Middle East situation. Sources said they also would discuss the roles of both the United States and the Soviet Union in the Arab-Israeli dispute.
An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said Israeli jets pounded Egyptian military positions along the canal and the northwest bank of the Gulf of Suez for three hours. He said Israeli interceptors went into action when "formations" of Egyptian planes tried to attack Israeli positions in the occupied Sinai.
Two Sukhoi 7 jets were hit in low-level dogfights near the
Bitter Lakes—about midway between Ismailia and Suez City and went down in flames on the Egyptian side of the canal, the Tel Aviv spokesmen said.
The spokesman said all the Israeli planes returned safely and no casualties were suffered by the ground forces.
The reported "kills" brought to 111 the total of Arab warplanes Israel has claimed to have shot down since the 1967 war-91 Egyptian and 20 Syrian. Israel has reported losing 20 planes in the same period.
A military spokesman in Cairo denied any Egyptian planes were shot down in dogfights during the

The card, which can be purchased for $1 through the Student Union Activities office, entitles the holder to discounts and student reductions at some theaters, concert halls, shops and most museums in Europe.
Intra-European student charter flights and student bus and train transportation is another benefit. The flights, usually on jet aircraft, depart frequently during the summer months and continue throughout the year. The fares for these flights are often as low as one-third of the equivalent commercial fares.
Those wishing to obtain the ID card should take to the SUA office one passport size photograph of themselves that need not be returned, proof of their student status and $1.
Card holders may also obtain lodgings and meals in student hostels and restaurants in cities and university towns throughout Europe. Prices range from $1-3 for an overnight stay while the average cost for dinner in a student restaurant is $1. Low cost tours lasting from 2 days to one month also are offered at low costs.

Berlin Tuesday in a new harassing move even as the Big Three Western allies met with the Russians in an effort to ease access to this outpost city.
An East German Finance Ministry order published Tuesday raised by 25 to 30 per cent the tolls on trucks and barges carrying supplies across East Germany to and from West Berlin. The increase is effective May 1.
The new tolls mean that a trucker carrying 20 tons of cargo the 139 miles to Berlin from the East-West German border in the Hamburg area will have to pay $43 instead of the old rate of $36.
The East Germans thus demonstrated their power over the city's lifelines while the U.S., British and French ambassadors to West Germany met with the Soviet Ambassador to East Germany in

a second meeting on the Berlin problem.
The West Berlin city government said the East German action was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the ambassadors' talks.
"It is more than remarkable that the new measures of the authorities of the East German Democratic Republic have been announced on the same day that the Big Four ambassadors met again to discuss improvements in the traffic routes," a city government statement said.
The Big Four ambassadors met in secret Tuesday in the former Allied Control Authority Building in the American sector of West Berlin. Details of the meeting were not disclosed but the envoys scheduled a third meeting for May 14, and every two weeks thereafter.
A major aim of the Western Allies in the talks is to improve Western access to West Berlin and to end East German harassment of traffic to and from the divided city.
