One condemns Israel’s actions and calls for immediate withdrawal from Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The other urges negotiated steps for Arab Israeli talks and troop withdrawal.

Baby Drowns When Boat Capsizes At Lynn Haven Inlet
In Virginia Beach a seven week old infant, Thomas Ira Nichols, drowned when an 18 foot motor boat capsized at anchor near the Lessner Bridge. The child’s body was recovered about an hour later some 1.4 miles from the accident site. Parents Thomas N Nichols and his wife, both of Norfolk, were rescued and treated for emotional shock, not injuries. Clyde H Russell, the other passenger, was also saved. Coast Guard and private boats led the search as the tide rose and whirlpools formed. The body was recovered after 9:40 p.m. with the rescue completed earlier that night.
