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

Hunters Roamed Over
N.Y. 5500 Years Ago
Rochester, N.Y. 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.

was organized in 1775, George
Washington was appointed to

commanded any unit higher

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.

Galilee where a number of
Israel policemen were shot and
killed a month ago is quiet.
Israeli fishing boats are operat

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.
