United Nations observers found no basis to Jordan’s complaint to the UN last week that Israel was massing troops along the armistice line in the Tulkarm sector, it was reported here today.

While UN headquarters here officially disclaimed any knowledge of a study by observers it was indicated in informed circles that truce headquarters had already dispatched a report to Dag Hammarskjold, UN secretary general, to the effect that no troop concentrations had been observed.

The demilitarized zone along the Syrian border was also inspected this week-end by UN observers apparently searching for a troop build-up.
