ASSAULT FORCE SINCE D-DAY,*and SYRIA LIKELY TO JOIN FRAY. The first nationwide test of air-raid sirens since the Six-Day War of 1967, added to the scare. Premier Golda Meir, addressing Labor Party leaders in Tel Aviv, warned: "We cannot permit ourselves to carry on with the attitude of business-as-usual with Sadat saying to his people not that he will win, but that he will take them into battle...
...Sadat was trying in a none too subtle manner to put pressure on Washington, so was Mrs. Meir.
