Fighting Flares Up Over Suez
Israel and Egypt renewed heavy fighting along the Suez Canal amid clashes at the southern waterway end. An Israeli army spokesman said Egyptian fire prompted Israeli return fire and one Israeli soldier was lightly wounded. Both sides exchanged claims after days of air and ground combat, the week’s third major canal battle. Prime Minister Golda Meir urged restraint and a mutual cease-fire while Israel framed its actions as maintaining the 1967 cease-fire. Egypt acknowledged a loss of one plane and claimed seven Israeli jets were shot down, challenging Israel to show wreckage as proof.

Administration Opposes Federal Gun Owner Registration
The Nixon administration opposed federal gun owner registration and licensing, contrasting Johnson era support. Justice Treasury and IRS spokesmen told a Senate subcommittee there is no time yet to judge the Gun Control Act and Crime Control laws, and that nationwide registration would be costly and exceed enforcement capacity. Also from Panama, Col. Jose M. Pinilla returned to office after six weeks away following a mild heart attack.
