Apologies For Overflights JERUSALEM. Israeli Sector The Israeli Foreign Ministry said Sunday it has accepted American explanations and apologies for the intrusion of four planes into Israeli airspace without permission. But I wo leading Israeli newspapers cast doubts on U.S. statements that the planes were meteorological aircraft, and one hinted that they might have been engaged in spy flights. Israeli government secretary Mrs.

Yael Uzai told newsmen, however, that a thorough investigation of photographic equipment on the planes had shown that no pictures had been taken by the U.S. aircraft while they were flying over Israel. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Israeli government now considered the matter closed. The pilots of the four Department of Commerce planes claimed they had asked permission to fly over Israel, he said, but Ihe request had never reached the Israeli authorities. The flights were made Friday.

Crew members of the planes, who landed on instructions from Israeli fighter aircraft, told newsmen they applied for the permission after one engine of one of their B-57 planes developed trouble. They assumed there must have been a fault in their transmitting equipment. Heberts Win PGA Both Ways Lionel Hebert won the PGA Championship at match play in Dayton.
