Report Calls for 'More Lasting Settlement'

JERUSALEM — Israel-Egyp-
tian talks on reducing tension
along the Gaza border virtually
hit a roadblock Tuesday, with
the Egyptians rejecting Israel-
United Nations proposals on
several key questions. However,
thorny questions were referred
back to the respective govern-
ments for decision, and negotia-
tors agreed to meet again Aug.
19 at Kilometer 95, scene of
talks for the past two months.
A UN communique issued .after
the end of Tuesday's session
stated that "discussion had
reached a point where it became
evident that the position of the
delegations on a few outstand-
ing points has not permitted
them to reach an agreement,
and further references to their
governments will be required. It
was further felt desirable to
proceed with consideration of
other proposals on the agenda
which, if adopted, might involve
adding some clauses to the ar-
rangement," the
:communique
added.
An earlier communique from
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, UN
truce chief in Palestine, had
stated that negotiations appear-
ed optimistic.
(Egypt is planning a southern
land-sea route to Jordan, the
Times of London reported in a
dispatch from Cairo. The over-
land route across the Negev was
snapped when the State of Israel
was established. The road will
be built across the Sinai Penin-
sula, the dispatch said, and will
connect with a ferry service at
the Gulf of Akaba which will
run to the Jordan port of Akaba,
at the head of the Gulf, The
same Sinai road will also branch
off toward Jeddah, which is the
port for Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.)

While the situation at Gaza
has deteriorated, with the re-
jection of United Nations and
Israeli truce proposals by the
Egyptian spokesmen, progress
was reported this week in Is-
rael - Jordanian negotiations.
"Good progress" is indicated

in the report of Gen. Burns:
After a meeting at headquar-
ters of the UN truce supervi-
sion organization in Jerusalem,
Gen. Burns reported that both
sides had examined "various
clauses" of the pact "as to
which a considerable measure
of agreement was obtained."

ous incidents- in the Gaza Strip
caused grave concern to the Se-
curity Council, the Secretary
General ,and the United Nations
Truce Supervision Organization.
"The Security Council unani-
mously endorsed proposals of
the Chief of Staff for easing
the tension and for making
more effective the administra-
tion of the armistice regime
along the demarcation lines,"
the report continues. "I regret
to report that despite the ef-
forts of the Secretary General
and the Chief of Staff, these
proposals had not- yet been put
into effect when this report was
written, but I most earnestly
hope that a more positive re-
port of progress can be made
before long."
"The armistice regime," Mr.
Hammarskjold insists, "must be
maintained and strengthened so
long as the goal of real peace
in the Palestine - area, unfortu-
nately, must be recognized as
not yet within reach. It should
be one of the principal objec-
tives of the United Nations in
the coming year so to influence
conditions in the area as to cre-
ate a basis on which the parties
may find it possible to consider
a more lasting settlement.
"The fate of the Palestine ref-
ugees has been far too long upon
our conscience,"• the UN Secre-
tary General stresses. "Even
a partial solution of the prob-
lems of the refugees might well
be the beginning of a general
stabilization of conditions in the
area. Projects such as those for
the development of the Jordan
River for power and irrigation
are in this respect of the great-
est interest to all, as they may
provide a better basis for such
a solution than so far has been
available."

and fundamental, the United
Nations should experience some
difficulties in finding practical
methods to enhance the adop-
tion and implementation of these
standards on a world-wide basis.
These inevitable difficulties
should not generate a sense of
frustration, nor should it prompt
the organization to actions with
doubtful implications. In carry-

ing out its obligations under the
Charter in the field of human
rights, the organization should
favor initiatives leading forward
without introducing the risk of
sterile and endless controversy,"
the UN Secretary General rec-
ommends.
