Jordan complained to Maj. Gen. Carl C. von Horn, United Nations truce chief, that Israel had resumed patrolling the Botanical Gardens atop Mt. Scopus, the Israeli enclave.

Several months ago Jordanian opposition to these patrols broke into open attacks on Israeli troops and in an all-day pitched battle last May, Jordanians killed Lt. Col. George A. Flint, Canadian chairman of the Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistice Commission, and four Israeli policemen.
