FROM OUR CORRESPONDENr

AlliftNS, JULY 29

The Israel diplomatic representative in Athens, Mr. Darom, who communicated with Sofia through Belgrade to-dav, was informed by the Israel Charge d'Affaires in Sofia, Mr. Nal, that he had obtained permission from the Bulgarian Government for three of the six members of the Israel investigating team to cross the GreekBulgarian frontier to-morrow.

Mr. Nal is to meet the three experts when they cross the frontier.

AIRLINE'S STATEMENT

VIENNA. July 29.-The El-Al office in Vienna to-day issued the following statement:-" The Bulgarian version of the El-Al aircraft being off course is inconsistent with the radio position of the aircraft and with ground reports. The disputed issue could be settled in accordance with international practice by permitting the Israeli committee of inquiry, consisting of aviation experts, to visit the scene of the crash. Failure to allow this elementary right in time speaks for itself. The permission granted to the Israeli Consulate non-expert representatives to visit the scene of the crash is irrelevant to the technical dispute at issue."-Reuter.
