Once in Egypt, these accounts warn, the spies take advantage of unwary citizens. The Israeli agents take advantage of the good-natured character of the average Egyptian, the Middle East Agency said, who tends to speak frankly about anything without realizing that what he may be saying would be useful information to the enemy. previous wars, including the June, 1967, war.

Newspapers have printed lengthy accounts of how Ia-aeli intelligence agents allegedly operate and much of the description makes these agents sound like living James Bonds. Ironically, the Bond movies are among the most popular with Arab movie audiences. The latest, Diamonds are Forever, in which Bond stops briefly in Egypt, has played to packed houses in the area. Newspapers have described a number of specific cases of persons who have been arrested and convicted of espionage activities in Egypt since the 1967 war. One, an Egyptian identified as Mohammed Sami Nafeh, was said to have been recruited abroad and sent to Egypt with a transmitter hidden in a tape recorder.

Another depicted spy was Ali Ahmed El-Fares, whose love for wine and women was used by the Israelis, ac By RAYMOND WILKINSON BEIRUT (UPI) A group of spies operating with the same flair and style as Britains fictitious James Bond played a key role in Israels stunning victory in the 1967 war with Egypt. That, at least, is the conclusion of the Egyptian news media which has been campaigning to alert the population to current Israeli intelligence activities in the country. Spying can be very technical, the semi-official Middle East News Agency pointed out in one article, with the introduction of electronic eavesdropping equipment, aerial reconnaissance and long-range photography by satellites. But, the agency said, in the conflict between Israel and the Arabs the traditional methods of spying remain the most important. Without the use of operatives on the ground, the agency said, Israel could not have possibly triumphed over the Arabs in the cording to the newspaper account.

He eventually found himself in Cairo with a transmitter hidden in his walking cane. The Middle East Agency said Israeli spies use devices such as childrens toys, hair brushes and aspirin packs to hide their transmitting equipment. It said the Israelis concentrate their recruitment effort on Egyptians living in European cities where Arabic-speaking Israeli lecruiting agents work in cover organizations such as sports centers, charity associations and cultural institutions. These agents make contact with the Egyptians after carefully screening their movements and background and then wine, dine and womanize with them on a grand scale, propositioning them to become spies, according to the Egyptian press.

That crime was just one of many for which lashes were doled out by our forefathers. Kindling a fire in any woods resulting in damage to anothers property could have cost a careless woodsman 20 stripes in the late 1600s. A servant assaulting his master or overseer would receive whatever corporal punishment the court may adjudge, which, records show, included whipping, several hours in the stock and pillory, and having one or both earlobes lopped off. Burglary conviction led to being severely whipped and branded on the forehead, in days prior to Americas T-OOl court deems appropiate. The full Senate has not yet acted on either the bill or the amendment.

Crowds numbering in the hundreds used to gather at whippings. And they gathered often: over 600 whippings were administered in Delaware from the end of World War I to the end of World War II. Of these, records supplied by the Division of Adult Corrections show about seven of every nine whipped were black. The number of floggings dropped sharply after the war. Records show only five from 1946-1952.

As part of the displays at Hamilton during the Air Forces 25th anniversary a variety of old time aircraft will line the bases flight line.

U.S., Russian Chess Match AMSTERDAM (AP) Bobby Fischers much heralded meeting with Boris Spassky to determine the world chess championship is on again. The International Chess Federation said Tuesday it had received a telegram from the U.S. federation stating that the American challenger will meet the Soviet titleholder at the negotiated time and place." The 24-game match is to begin June 22 in Belgrade and finish in Reykjavik, Iceland. Fischer has been at odds with the international federation over some aspects of the nament.

Hoover Fry Pans WITH WARMING TRAY A $21.95 VALUE Deluxe Hoover Upright WITH WIDE ANGLE HEADLIGHT AN $84.95 VALUE! FOR NAPA CITY By IRENE E. SHADOAN Associated Press Writer DOVER, Del. (AP) Forty lashes, well laid on, still can be given a criminal for any of several dozen offenses in Delaware, the last state to hold onto the pre-Revolutionary War punishment. Despite efforts by groups ranging from prison reformers to humanitarians, state lawmakers have refused time and again to legislate the whipping post, known as Red Hannah, out of existence.

Local history has it that the post was dubbed Red Hannah by blacks in Sussex County. When a mans manacled arms encircled the red whipping post, they said he was hugging ol Red Hannah." Earliest documentation shows Robberd Hutchinson was flogged 39 lashes in New Castle County in 1679 for having feloniously broken into a chest belonging to Adam Wallis and stolen from it goods to the value of three pounds sterling. For nearly 300 years since, the whip has been used as a punishment for crimes ranging from robbery and larceny to wife beating and embezzling. Its a relic of the Dark Ages, said Gov. Russell W.

Peterson when in 1969 he ordered the whipping post at Delaware Correctional Institute at Smyrna to be stored in the basement. I think it qualifies as a cruel and unusual punishment, said Rep. Pierre S. du-Pont IV, R-Del. I think weve passed the point in our civilization where a whipping post is needed." Some lawmakers have again proposed, in a revision of the Delaware Criminal Code now pending before the General Assembly, that flogging be stricken from it.

But passage of the proposal is by no means a foregone conclusion. Just seven legislative days into the start of this years second session, Sen. Thomas E. Hickman R-Sussex County, proposed an amendment to the bill that would permit for any felony, the court, in its discretion, (could) provide that the defendant be whipped with the number of lashes as the NOW ONLY!
