Situation on Arab-Israel Border Stable, UN Truce Official States Jerusalem (U.R) Albert Grand, press officer for the United Nations Truce Supervi sion Organization (UNTSO) In the Holy Land, told the United Fress that despite "minor flare- ups, the situation along the borders of Israel and the Arab states is stable. Grand pointed out that the zact mat these incidents most ly on the Israel-Jordan frontier did not develop into some thing larger proves the effec tiveness of the cease-fire achiev ed by UN Secretary General Dag Hammerskjold. The most sensitive spot is still Israel's border with Egypt at the Gaza Strip. This is shown by the distribution of UNTSO ob servers throughout the region. More than half are assigned to both sides of the Gaza Strip border, with 26 stationed in the city of Gaza and four in the Israeli town of Beersheba. Eleven observers are assigned to the Jerusalem area, five are in Beirut, eleven in Damascus, two in Cairo and one in Am man. A most unenviable job is the one assigned to the 12 observers stationed in the observation posts on both sides of the Gaza Strip frontier. Six of these are in Israel and six in Egyptian territory. These 12 spots have been se lected for the visibility they afford the observer over a wide area and also because they are In areas which past experience has shown to be danger zones. More Observers Needed There are no structures what soever in any of these spots. So f&r, only one inside Israel can be activated for a very brief period because of the lack of personnel. The UNTSO has re quested 21 new observers. So f&r, only seven have been sent and added to the general pool from which assignments are made. The UN military observer sta tioned on the Gaza Strip border drives up to his post in a white station wagon on each side of which are clearly painted in large black print the letters UN. From this station wagon, the metal of which becomes scorch ing to the skin in the searing heat of the Negev Desert, the lone observer has to keep his eyes open for crossings of the ditch denoting the border- and for firing across the line. The observer is powerless to stop any clash that might de velop. He is equipped with radio apparatus with which to keep UNTSO headquarters in Jeru salem informed of what is going on. If fighting starts, he can im mediately tell the UN chief of staff, Gen. E. L. M. Burns, what is happening. It will be up to the general to contact command ers of both sides and persuade them to stop the shooting. It is hoped that the presence of an observer when firing be gins will make it easier to deter mine who stared the shooting and thus fix the blame in case of full-scale aggression. The UNTSO headquarters has not yet decided how long a tour of duty in one of these posts is to last. With the mercury at 100 degrees during the day, this time of the year, the well-being of the observer is a prime con sideration. Also, on moonless nights, anyone wishing to cross the border will have no trouble doing so. Two Danger Spots Meanwhile, since the first of June, Israel and Jordanian teams have been cooperating in malaria control in the Latrun area. At the present time, both the Israel and Jordan govern ments are studying the text of a local commanders' agreement for reducing tension all along the common border of both countries Such an agreement, with a direct telephone line be tween the area commanders of both sides, has been in force in the Jerusalem area for near ly a year. The UN spokesman told the United Press that he believes the reason the incidents in Jeru salem early in June did not spread can be attributed to the local commanders' agreement plus Hammerskjold's effort in eliciting pledges from both sides to observe a cease-fire. The Huleh reclamation scheme being carried out by Israel is the sensitive spot on the Israel- Syrian border. The UNTSO can PRESCRIPTION SERVICE ?

U.R) A tribe of wandering hunters and fishermen roamed over upstate New York some 5,500 years ago, according to a prominent arche- ologist. Dr. William A. Ritchie, state archeologist for New York, re cently disclosed the "Lake La moka people" have been dated to 3,500 B.C. By measuring the amount of radioactive carbon contained in tools and weapons left by the Lamoka tribe, the doctor ex plained, scientists were able to determine the exact age of the implements. Dr. Ritchie unearthed the site of the tribe 25 years ago near Lake Lamoka in Schuyler county. He said the people were no madic hunters and fishermen who wandered about the area in small bands, never staying very long at any one camp site. Dr. Ritchie said there is strong evidence the Lamoka . people were "wiped out" by another tribe that moved into the area. Pinballs Practically Assured Ballot Place Portland (U.R) Initiative petitions with 23,502 signatures have been filed with the city auditor, practically assuring pin balls a place on the ballot in the November general election. A total of 18,316 signatures of registered voters must be filed to get an issue on the ballot. Last spring, signatures on petitions turned in averaged 70 per cent good, which means this filing brought in about 16,500 good signatures If the same average is maintained. A number of petitions are still in circulation and will be turn ed in later, according to Al Brown, secretary of - the Coin Machine Men of Oregon. Stan Terry, a pinball opera tor, said about 1500 devices have been removed from stores and taverns since the ban went into effect after voters rejected pin balls at last May's primary by more than 17,000 votes. The U.S. Army celebrated Its 181st birthday June 14, 1956.

It cannot tell Israel not to re sume work on the drainage scheme and neither can it stop the Syrians and their Egyptian allies from carrying out their threat to prevent Israel from gqing ahead with the drainage work by force. Only the Se curity Council can take action in either case. The situation on the Sea of Galilee where a number of Israel policemen were shot and killed a month ago is quiet. Israeli fishing boats are operat ing in the sensitive northeast corner of the lake but police boats are keeping 250 yards away from the store. The Syrian armed forces have refrained from opening fire on the fishing boats. No agreement has been reached to permit Syrians to fish or water cattle in the lake, which is entirely within Israel.
