Direct Talks Urged by Gen. Burns
To Solve Israel-Egyptian Tensions

11 N . 1 T E D NATIONS, N.Y.,
— Maj. Gen. E. L. M.
Burns, chief of the United Na-
tions Truce Supervision Organ-
ization in Palestine, is trying to
bring Israel and Egypt together
for face-to-face talks to ham-
ther out ari agreement that
Would reduce border tension
between them and prevent the
recurrence of incidents such as
the Gaza clash. The disclosure
of Gen. Burns' plans was made
in his report here to the UN
Security Council, which met to
consider the Gaza battle. (See
Editorial, Page 4)
Responsibility for tension
along the Egyptian-Israel fron-
tier, which resulted in the Gaza
clash was placed primarily on
Egypt by Gen. Burris' report,
but he blamed Israel for the
attack. The Council session was
adjourned without setting a
date for the next meeting, after
hearing Gen. Burns and a' long
speech by -the Egyptian dele-
gate, Dr. Omar Loutfi, • in
which he reiterated Egypt's
charge against • Israel. Israel
delegate Abba Eban requested
and received the right to speak
at the next meeting.
Dr. Loutfi called on the Coun-
cil to do. more , than pass a res-
olution of censure against Is-
rael.. The Egyptian delegate
asked that reparations be paid
for the 38 Egyptians killed and
demanded that the Council in-
voke sanctions against Israel.
He also asked that governments
which have given aid to Israel
should refrain from doing so.
Prior to Gen Burns' report,
SOviet delegate Arkadi Sobolev
made a brief statement on the
Soviet attitude toward t h e,
Egyptian complaint. He said
that the Soviet delegation con-
siders that responsibility for the
Gaza clash rested with Israel.
At the same time, he said the
Soviet delegation, "could not
pass over in silence" the state-
ments contained in the , Israel
communication which clearlz,
demonstrated the tension exist-
ing in the area. This was a re-
sult of the policy. of "certain
states" who were not pursuing
a policy of peace but one of
"setting up" military blocs, Mr.
Sobelov declared. He reserved
his right to return to the matter
after the representatives of both
aides had spoken. ,
The UNAruce chief reviewed
the state of "affairs on the
- Gaza line in the months pre-
ceding the incident. There
had been 99 Israel complaints
and 36 Egyptian complaints

during the last four months.•
He outlined the cases dealt
with at emergency meetings

of the MAC since Nov. 1, 1954.
-"The recurrence at , more or
less_ frequent intervals of shoot-
ing incidents along the demar-
cation line, the much more fre-
quent cases of crossing the line
by infiltrators and their activi-
ties in Israel helped to maintain
a state of greater or lesser ten-
aion. which was increased by
the .emotion created in Israel

by the Bat Galim. case and, in
January, by the trial in Cairo
of Jews charged with espiOnage
and the' condenination to death
of two of. the, defendants," Gen-
eral Burns reported.
Gen. BUrns noted reports that
armed Israel groups had been
c a r ry n g Out "reconnaissance
deep into the Gaza strip.. He
also noted that since there was
no peace between the parties,
a request for a curb on mili-
tary intel gence Activities
would have been of little - use.
"HoWever," he said, "persons
who might kill or sabotage
have to cross the demarcation
line to do so and a - close
guarding and patrolling on
both sides of the line would
hamper such activities, as well
as those of ordinary thieves
and Marauders. The - Willing-
Inds of the parties to cooper-
ate effectively in such guard-
ing and patrolling could, to a
degree, indicate whether they
really desire - to -keep the bor-
der area quiet."
Gen. Burns recalled his ear-
lier suggestions for decreasing
tension along the demarcation
line, such as j oint patrols in
"sensitive" spots, -a local Corn-
manders Agreement, bar bed
wire along certain parts of the
line, and manning of all out-
posts and patrols by regular
troops.
He reviewed his discussions
with Egypt and Israel on these
suggestions. He had sent a draft
agreement to both sides, Egypt
had replied with some corn-
ments, and a second draft had
been sent • to both parties. On
the eve of Gen. Burns' depart-
ure to. New York this week Israel
had replied, confirming agree-
ment to conclude an Area Com-
manders' Agreement in the
Gaza area and attaching some
proposals of its Own.
There was a definite' feeling
among members of the Israel
delegation here that Gen.
Burns' report supported the
Isragl contention that Gaza
was not an isolated incident.
An Israel spokesman 'pointed
out aft e r the meeting that
Gen. Burns' statistics confirm
the Israel claim that Egyptian
violations against Israel have
been far more numerous ' than
Israel's against • Egypt. T h e
spokesman stressed also ;that
the Burns' report:
1. Shows an "alarming pic-
ture" of Egyptian penetra-
tion as far as 50 -kilometers
into Israel territory for the
purpose of killing and spying.
2. Confinias the fact that
tensions were caused and
heightened •by Egypt% seizure
•of the Bat Galim and by
Egypt's hanging of two Jews.
3. Lays the blame for the
grave border situation on
Egypt which, in the words of
Gen. Burns, continued "pene-
trations and killings of Israel
citizens" despite provisions of
the armistice agreement and

"a number of MAC resolu-
tions."

Israel Prevented from
Sending Convoy to Mt. Scopus
JERUSALEM, ( J t A) — The
regular fortnightly supply con-
voy for the Israel guards atop Mt.
Scopus did not make its journey
through the Arab Legion lines
to the height because of a Jor-
dallian Protest.
The Jordanians protested to
the UN Truce Supervision Organ-
ization that the Israel guards
on the height had set up a road
bloc and had prevented Arab
villagers from using the road.
The protest is being studied by
Col. J. Hommel, acting head of
the TSO in absence - of Maj. Gen.
E. L. M. Burns who is in NeW
York.
Dr. Walter Eytan, director
general of the Israel Foreign
Ministry, conferring with Col.
Hommel pointed out that the
Jordanians had violated the
armistice agreement by con-
structing a road past Mt. Sco-
pus, which had previously only
been reached by a footpath.
The constructoin of the roe
through an Arab village in
the demilitarized zone
and increasing the number of
inhabitants of the village were
both attempts to change the
status quo, Dr. Eytan declared.
Col. Hommel said he would
attempt to offer a solution of
the problems within a few days.
Meanwhile, he offered to make
special arrangements for pro-
visioning the Israel garrison to
Mt. Scopus, if necessary.
