' Koiiowing tile government's decision to accept the Security rCouncii's resolution, the Ciiief of-Staff ordered all Israeli ' forces at the Egyption front to bold ttteir fire as of 6:52 p.m. local time as long as tiie Egyptians also lionored the., ceasefire. Fire did not, however, cease at tiie deadline. The war went on in full ferocity. It seemed as if the Arabs wanted to use up all ttie ammunition tiiey had in -their magazines l>efore they beld their fire. But gradually tiie slMoting subsided and from tiie central sector of tite Suez Cantri front where Israelis are deep inside Egypt and some 50 miles from Cairo a report came in at 7:20 p.m. that some five minute^ earlier quiet was reported in the area.

This appraisal was expressed in military circles liere and was included in a statement made by Defense Minister Moshe Day an. Dayan said that,Israel had not requested and had no need ,to ask for a cease-fire. But once a ceasefire is proposed it siiould lie accepted in such a way as to l>e binding on all, belligerent parties and sfaditld apply to tiie lines existing at tiie time of the cessation of hostilities. Indeed, the last hours prior to the cease-fire, Israeli forces on the west banlc of the canal made an effort to establish their position as far as tliey could reach.

Isiraelis at War By CARL ALPERT Israelis OD the home front have volunteered their help for vital services in such numbers that the hordes of volunteers cause Jams, and In some places they are being asked to go home until called for. A traffic offender in Tel Aviv was caught by a police officer going through a red light. Instead of giving him a ticiiet, the policeman told him he would have to pay with blood—and escorted him to a blood donation station of the Red Magen David. For a number of days prior to the attack, local papers were carrying advertisements for a 6-day special tour of the Sinai, during Succot. As it Alpert turned out, many who never signed up" for the tour got to go anyhow. Many times a day the radio carries announcements to the soldiers about happy events bacic home. It's an odd feeling to be in a tank, and to hear that you have become a father. Pranksters took advantage of the broadcasts, and a number of surprised warriors, unmarried, learned they had become fathers of twins! Most popular name give to girls bom since Yom Kippnr is Maya. There must be hundreds of them. The name is made np of the Initials

for the Hebrew, MUcbemet Yom Hadla. When told that some reporters were referring to this as the Yom Kippur War, General Elazar replied it would be better to call it the MUchemet Yom Hadin, War of the Day of Judgment. ' Picture of a nation at war: Between news reports on television, we are treated to distinguished artists playing Beethoven concertos. In those first few days after Yom Kippur there was supreme confidence. The big guessing game was how much time we could shave off the six days for complete victory. The mood liecame a bit grimmer, though none the lets confident, on about the third day. v From my terrace overlooking Haila Bay we see and hear the helicopters which, fly the wounded from, ttae northern front straight to the Rambam Hospital at the waterfront. They come often. We no longer comment on them, only exchange meaningful glances each time we hear the ominous sound. Among the argent messages Jo Bol4ien from their families: "Uri! Where did you leave the car keys? The machine has lieen mobilized, and when the men came .from it I couldAT find the keys!" Police report a drastic flrop in burglaries' and other crimes. Either the criminals have l)een called into the service, or haven't the heart to pursue tlieir profession at tliis' time.

A Message From Golda Editer's note: The following message from Israel Prima . Minister Golda Meir to tlie American Jewish community was transmitted by Telex last Friday. a * * . My Dear Friends: I am speaidng to you at the moment when we are again at war. A war that was forced upon us by our Arab neighbors. Oa Yom Kippur Day, at exactly the same hour, Syria and Egypt attacked us. You know as well as we do that there was no reason at all for this attack, except one: They made up their minds to try again and destroy Israel. They know that they outnumber us in men, in tanks, in guns and planes, and they think that by sheer numbers they can over> come us. They don't know the spirit of the people of Israel and they don't know your spirit. And they don't know that throughout our history, over and over and over again, we were outnumbered by people vho were our enemies and who were determined ta destroy us. And here we are, back in our homt^and, sovereign, independent, strong In spirit, and in conviction of our Justice and , determined that we're going to live and see to it-that the state of Israel is strong and intact forever and ever. If you w^ere in the country now, I think you would be proud of us. J>roud of our sons who are on the front and proud of ttie people at home. We are a very, very united people. United ,in spirit and determination. And united in our desire and preparedness to ido everything that is possible, and may be normally considered impossible, so that our enemies, again, are defeated..

What If Each Omahan Was a War Casualty? The U.S. Defense Department estimated this week that ths combined Arab forces liad suffered around 15,000 casualties, Idlled and wounded. Israeli Idlled and wounded were estimated at i.m$. The enormity of 5,000 Israeli casualties can best be under* stood in terms of the ratio .. casualties to the total populatioa of.tiie country. By comparison, on a per capita basi^, the Israeli losses in the first 20 days of the Yom Kippur Wai*, exceed the American^ casualties in the worst five years of the Viet Nam War.
