Odd Bull, Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, in the ISMAC talks. Mr. Thant revealed that Gen. Bull is now “indisposed” and has gone to his home in Norway for recuperation, “As soon as Gen. Bull comes back to his post with UNTSO, he will try to bring the parties together,” he said.
