The scheduled repatriation of 27 seriously wounded Egyptian soldiers was postponed indefinitely today when two Italian planes which were to move the men to Cairo today failed to show up for some unknown reason. The transfer was to be effected by International Red Cross representatives and the Egyptian wounded had already been placed in ambulances to be taken to the airport.
