He said his country would noti fy the United Nations of its plan of action at the coming V. N. General assembly. The source, a ranking delegate to the assembly, said Greece had decided on this action to put an end to the guer rilla threat on the Greek-Albatt-ian border. The delegate said the general assembly would be told Greece will invoke article 51 of the U. N. charter If there are any fu ture guerrilla attacks from the Albanian side. The article sus tains the right of self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a U. N. member. Recently there has been an al most unanimous demand in the Greek press for drastic action if the Communists start any new aggressions on Greece lrom Al banian soil.

H.(JP The new U. N. proposal for in ternational control of Jerusalem appeared today to be headed for trouble. The plan was submitted yester day for consideration In the 59 natlon general assembly by the Palestine conciliation commission as a basis for peace in the Holy City. 0. N. delegates were reluctant to comment on the plan until they had time to study it more, but informed quarters said bit ter opposition may be expected at least from the Israeli govern ment. It slill was not known whether the plan would meet the approval of other vitally interested relig ious and political groups; Arabs and the Vatican and other Chris tian churches. To become effective, the plan must be accepted by Israel and Hashemite Jordan, the two coun tries now occupying Jerusalem. The assembly had no power to enforce its decisions; It can only recommend and use persuasive force. The commission's blue print would preserve the Arab and Jew ish sectors of the Holy Ci1y and provide a measure of self-ruie for each, but would give supreme authority to a U. Is. commission er named by the general assem bly. Dot Control Law Said Working Satisfactorily Roseburg' new dog control program appears to be working satisfactorily.
