The El Fatah Voice of the Storm radio in Cairo accused Switzerland of collusion with Israel in the trial, charging that the Swiss had unfairly discriminated in letting the Israeli go while the Arabs were kept in custody. Presiding judge Dr. Hans Gut told the defendants that their attitude would only hurt their case. "They have said previously that they wanted to awaken world opinion to their cause with the attack. The accused now have the opportunity to speak before the world.

Why don't they use this opportunity? I acknowledge that a man must possess great courage to (attack a plane) in a foreign country. Where is that courage now?"

On trial at the same time was El Al security agent Mordechai Rachamim, 23, charged with manslaughter in the slaying of one of the attacking commandos. The Arabs could get possible sentences of five to 20 years; Mr.

Rachamim could serve one to five years if convicted. The trial of the Arab commandos is the first of its kind in Europe. Immediately after the proceedings opened, the three Arab defendants two men and a woman announced that they would abstain from the trial for several reasons: The proceedings which had been prepared were wrong because of faulty translation; two assigned lawyers had decided not to defend them and they refused to accept the court appointed lawyer, thus being without proper defense; and they placed their "fate and future in the hands of justice and world public opinion." Tells of Background Mr. Rachamim told the court of his personal background which led to his joining the El Al security service in September, 1968. Since his release from prison, he said, he had worked for the Israeli Government but not in his previous capacity.

Arabs Won't Negotiate Israel has maintained all along that the Arabs will never agree to negotiations with Israel as long as they believe that outside powers will solve mideast problems for them on terms. Israel insists that the only chance for a Mideast settlement lies in direct talks between Arab states and itself. Israelis believe that without Big Power intervention, the Arabs would be forced to negotiate or face an indefinite continuation of the present situation with Israel occupying large areas of Arab territory.

Beginning Monday, Open Every Evening, Except Saturday, Until Christmas Egyptians Repulsed by Israeli Forces at Suez Canal TEL AVIV (JTA) A large Egyptian raiding party attacked Israeli positions on the east bank of the Suez Canal last Saturday night. According to an Israeli spokesman, they landed at about 11 p.m. loral time under cover of an artillery and mortar barrage but were quickly repulsed and fled back across the canal without inflicting casualties or damage. The spokesman said that two Egyptians were found dead on the Israeli bank of the waterway and three more bodies were observed later on the Egyptian side. The Egyptian version of the raid differed from the Israeli account.

According to Cairo, 130 Egyptian troops occupied and held Israeli positions on the canal's east bank for two hours before withdrawing without casualties. Cairo claimed that its raiders killed "a large number" of Israeli troops and that the latter suffered additional casualties when Israeli Air Force jets mistakenly bombed and strafed their own men.
