...exchange of prisoners of war, beginning with the wounded. The Israelis, who pressed heavily on this point in Washington discussions with Kissinger, anticipate the return of 340 men, most of them captured in the early hours of the war when Israel's defensive positions along the Suez Canal and the Bar-Lev Line were overrun by the Egyptians. In return, the Israelis are prepared to surrender nearly 8,000 Egyptian prisoners, including 600 officers and 50 pilots...
...upset by his erstwhile ally's acceptance of last week's terms. Assad was particularly angry because only a few days before, the Egyptians had threatened to resume the fighting in order to relieve the Third Army and force the Israelis from the west bank of the canal. There were ominous intelligence reports that the Soviets were resupplying the Egyptian Second Army, which is sitting in Sinai north of the Israeli-encircled Third.

Cynical Marriage. Chilean lawyers filed papers in the U.S. District Court for the Canal Zone seeking attachment of the ships as they sailed through the canal. Judge Guthrie Crowe granted the order, but authorities just missed nabbing the two sugar-bearing ships. So the attachment was simply applied to the Imias, the next Cuban ship that happened along. Meanwhile, in the wake of the coup, a Soviet captain had also decided not to deliver his cargo of chemicals to Chile, and a similar legal action trapped his ship...
