Shooting continues at Canal despite Israel-Egypt cease-fire

A cease-fire was accepted by Israel and Egypt yesterday on the 17th day of the war as of 6:50 p.m., but shooting continued at the Suez Canal front.

Syria by late last night had still ignored the case-fire which was initiated by the U.S. and Soviet Union.

In another sudden move, U. S. Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger flew into Israel from Moscow at noon yesterday for talks with Prime Minister Golda Meir. Soviet Premier Kosygin flew to Cairo and Damascus.

The lightning developments came on the heels of an American-Soviet agreement in Moscow between Dr. Kissinger and Soviet leaders.

The cease-fire was promulgated in a Security Council resolution, that also called for immediate peace negotiations between the sides, and for implementation of the 1967 Security Council Resolution 242 "in all its parts."

Jordan also yesterday accepted the cease-fire, but said its expeditionary force in Syrian would meanwhile remain under Syrian command. Iraq, which sent larger forces to Syria, rejected the cease-fire call.
