are awaiting Hammarskjold's
formal reply on this issue, as
well as his reaction and corn-
ments. (A radio report from
Jordan said Hammarskjold told
reporters there he hoped that
the Arab refugee problem would
be solved within the year).
The private meeting between
Hammarskjold and Premier Ben-
Gurion in the monastic simpli-
city of the Israel Prime Minis-
ter's vacation retreat at Sdeh
Boker included an overnight
stay for Hammarskjold at the
Kibbutz and the sharing of a
simple supper of herring and a
few vegetables in the communal
dining hall. An official joint
communique merely noted that
"a January 1 discussion and ex-
change of views on the general
position in the Middle East and
the international situation and
its effects on the Middle East
took place. At a further meet-
ing Jan. 2, there was a discus-
sion on implementation of Ar-
ticle VIII of the Israel-Jordan
Armistice and measures for as-
suring tranquility and safety on
the Syrian-Israel border."
Article VIII provides for ar-
rangements to assure unim-
peded access to Mt. Scopus, the
Israel enclave in Jordan-held
Old Jerusalem where the aban-
doned Hadassah Hospital and
Hebrew University buildings are
guarded by a small caretaker
force which is supplied by reg-
ular Israel convoys. Jordan has
consistently refused to imple-
ment Article VIII and has re-
peatedly created situations lead-
ing to barring the Israel con-
voy.
Informed sources said that
the situation regarding Jordan's
refusal to implement Article
VIII remained as frozen as be-
fore the Hammarskj old-Ben-
Gurion talks. A UN spokesman
Was asked in Jerusalem, to
which Hammarskj old was
brought from Sdeh Boker by
helicopter, whether the UN
official was carrying any new
suggestions to Jordan, the next
stop on his Middle East tour.
The spokesman declined com-
ment.

Before going to the Kibbutz,
Hammarskjold was taken for a
tour of the new Hebrew Uni-
versity campus and for a visit
to the Weizmann Institute at
Rehovot. He also made a brief
visit to the Institute of Research
of Arid Zones at Beersheba.
Hammarskj old's arrival in
Jerusalem and his visit to Sdeh
Boker were marked by maxi-
mum security arrangements.
Police with submachine guns
guarded every angle at every
place where the UN statesman
stopped. Some police were as-
signed to trees and rooftops of
adjoining houses and others
were deployed along the routes
on which his heavily-escorted
car passed.
Mrs. Golda Meir took part in
talks in Jerusalem, the two con-
ferring for an hour. A luncheon
given in Hammarskj old's honor
by the Prime Minister lasted
two hours. Participating in the
Jerusalem talks were a number
of high United Nations and Is-
rael officials. The UN official
then left for Sdeh Boker.
As a step toward more tran-
quility on the Syrian-Israel bor-
der, scene early in December
of violent Syrian artillery at-
tack in the Huleh area, Ham-
marskjold was understood to
have proposed physical marking
of the border. Premier Ben-Gur- Israel Scored for
ion was reported to have Allegedly Trespassing
agreed.

only, when he returned to Jeru-
salem that " all expectations in
my visit here were fulfilled. The
main purpose of my visit was
to fulfill a promise we made to
each other, namely to have a
good time at Sdeh Boker dur-
ing my next visit here."
UN 1-7980
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—In the absence of the
Israeli representatives; who are
still boycotting the UN body,
the Egyptian-Israeli Mixed Ar-
mistice Commission adopted a
resolution severely condemning
Israel for allegedly trespassing
Egyptian air space.
The MAC resolution, drawn
up by the Egyptians, charged
that Israel has committed 16
violations of Egyptian air space
in the last two months, alleging
that Israel is "showing a dis-
turbing increase in this danger.
ous activity."
The resolution referred spe-
cifically to the occurrences of
Dec. 20 when, according to Is-
rael, a covoy of eight Egyptian-
operated, Russian-made MIG-17
jet aircraft penetrated Israeli
air space over the Sinai desert.
According to an Israeli an-
nouncement at that time, Israeli
airmen shot down one of the
MIGs. The resolution concedes
that on Dec. 20, "Israeli and
United Arab Republic aircraft
were involved in air combat,"
but claims that this fight took
place over "Egyptian territory."
Israel has been boycotting the
Egyptian-Israeli Mixed Armis-
tice Commission since prior to
the Sinai campaign in the Fall
of 1956, contending that it is
useless to attend meetings of
the Commission until Egypt
drops its illegal claim of a
"right of belligerence."
Hammarskjold Discusses
with Jordan's Premier
Territorial Integrity
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.
(JTA)—Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold and Jordan's
Prime Minister Samir el-Rifai
discussed the Arab-sponsored
resolution adopted here last
summer by the special Emer-
gency session of the General
Assembly, which among other
things, called upon "all mem-
ber states" to respect one an-
other's territorial integrity and
sovereignty. The two-hour con-
ference, according to a com-
munique issued here, "reviewed
developments relating to the
resolution of Aug. 21.
Tightening of the Arab boy-
cott against Israel will be dis-
cussed by the economic coun-
cil of the Arab League which
opened a series of sessions in
Cairo Monday, according to the
Arab Information Center in
New York. Among the items
listed for the council's agenda
are "recommendations of t!-_e
regional boycott offices."

a "peace march" into Israel to
recover the lands and homes
left when the Arabs quit Israel
during the Arab states inva-

In response, the Secretary
General explained his difficul-
ties as "a servant of all the
members of the United Na-
tions" and begged the refu-
gees to "trust us, although we
can work no miracles." At this
point several thousand young
boys and old men broke out of
the angry crowd of 45,000 per-
sons and advanced on the Sec-
retary General shouting: "We
want to return to our country."
While Jordanian policemen at-
tempted to hold the mob back
by clubbing their legs, Ham-
marskjold hastily cancelled his
tour of the camp and drove
back to Amman, the Daily
Telegraph reported.

Hammarskjold was forced by

The Telegraph's dispatch said
that Hammarskjold visited the
Akabat Jaber camp, near Jeri-
cho, in an attempt to establish
"man to man" contact with the
refugees. Upon his arrival, he
was read a petition by a leader
of the Moslem Brotherhood
