Edson Burns, U.N. truce chief, has called on both Jordan and Is rael to Dut an end to the series of border incidents that has ex ploded in the middle of the worsen ing Duez crisis. Jordan military sources charged Wednesday that 1,000 Israelis in a fleet of trucks and armored cars blew up a fortified police post and killed 20 Jordanians during a two hour battle. This attack, one of the most se rious along the Jordan-Israeli bor der in months, was only three miles from where the Israelis claimed six of their soldiers were killed by a Jordan patrol Monday. The raid was followed by an Is raeli reDort last night that two Is raeli guardsmen were killed by in filtrators Irom Jordan on me roaa between the Dead Sea and Red Sea. Another guardsman was miss ing. Gen. Burns appealed to both sides to end the "tragic series of events." In a communique he de clared that the raid appeared to be "an act of retaliation such as has been repeatedly condemned by the Security Council." The Tel Aviv newspaper Maariv said the raid "should teach the Arabs that Israel's security forces are on guard and will severly pun ish every murder and act of sabo tage."

Rothschild Praises Air Navigation System As 'Best7 WASHINGTON OB Undersec retary of Commerce Louis S. Rothschild Thursday praised the country's new air navigation sys tem as "the best we can now de vise" but said it will be several years before it can be brought into full use. Rothschild told a House Com merce subcommittee about "VORTAC." the compromise nav igation system announced by the government's Air Coordinating Committee on Aug. 30. The House group is looking into air traffic control prooiems. Rothschild said that if present civilian and military navigation systems had been allowed to de velop independently they would have "not only interfered with one another but would have vastly complicated air traffic control in thi rnuntrv " Rothschild described "VOR TAC" as a combination of the best parts of the two existing electronic systems which tell a pilot where he is headed and how lar ne is iruin m kivcu yuim. The System for civilian aircraft is known as "VOR-DME" (very high frequency omnidirectional radio ran;e -distance measuring equipment). The military-developed system is TACAN (tactical air navigation), more complex but more precise than VOR-DME. The two could not operate simul taneously because they need to use some of the same radio fre quencies. Rothschild said a common sys tem acceptable to the military had to be worked out "because it is now known that in any future conflict the United States may be a theater of war."
