Dangers Ignored Pilgrims In Holy Land For Easter Week
Pilgrims and tourists rushed into the Holy Land for Easter Week as threats from Egypt and Arab fighters loomed over Israel. Billy Graham met Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir while fighting and diplomacy shaped Big Four talks on a Middle East peace. Fighting flared in the North Jordan Valley with exchanges of mortars and machine guns. Jordan claimed Israeli shelling east of the Sea of Galilee and two armored vehicles and a truck were destroyed. United Nations sources said the Big Four aimed to resolve cease fire complaints without a Security Council vote to avoid delaying talks on a settlement.
