Although the Suez Canal was ;
open—on Egyptian terms—ten- 1
sion was on the increase again.
An outburst of charges and coun-
ter-charges by Israel and the
Arab nations were almost back
at the intensity of the days be- ..
fore Israel’ Sinai Desert cam-
paign.
Egypt, for the second day in a
row, warned Israel against any
“provocative aggressions.” Israel
countered with the assertion the
Egyptian statement was made to
take the emphasis off Israel’s
complaints of renewed Arab Fe-
dayeen commando raids.
Both Israel and Syria report-
ed minor border incidents in
northern Israel. Israel reported
a series of small raids by Jor-
danians who slipped into Israel
at night and made off with a
herd of sheep in one instance
and battled an Israeli patrol in
another.
Israel, still denied use of the
Suez Canal, was making plans
for a 32-inch pipeline from Eilat
to the Mediterranean port of Hai-
fa. This would depend on the
arrival at Eilat of tankers from
Arabian oil nations.
The 12,000-ton Italian passen-
ger liner Oceania, carrying 800
passengers—most of them Ital-
ianemigrants to Australia—led a
six-ship convoy into the Suez
Canal this morning after paying
full tolls to Egypt.
The Italian government enter-
tained passengers aboard the
ship last night by seting up a
huge screen on the dockside in
Port Sail and showing a three
hour movie of the Anglo French
invasion of Egypt last fall.

The quietest month of the year,
so fax’ as alarms are concerned,
was marked by the McKinney

the fire station in City Hall.
There were two general
alarms, both house fires, and the
booster truck answered calls to
extinguish minor blazes includ-
ing two grass fires, a house fire,
an automobile fire and a fire in
a kitchen stove. House fires were
at 509 W. Hunt and 102 Murray
Streets.
During the first three months
of 1957 the department has had
37 calls. Six of these were gener-
al alarms and 31 were booster
