United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold said last night that the United Nations Emergency Force “turned out to be necessary aril useful in the case of Gasa, but it would have been too extreme a measure for Lebanon and it would have been out of the question in Jordan.”

He told the Students Association here that a military organ of the United Nations. even if, like UNEF, it had no military tasks in the conventional sense, could be a decisive factor in preventing hostilities and restoring calm in a troubled area.”
