United Nations Secretary General U Thant has ordered the Commander in Chief of the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization, Gen. Odd Bull, to strengthen the UN forces on the Jordanian-Israel border in order to prevent incidents.
Mr. Thant took this step after receiving a report from Gen. Bull in which the latter was reportedly informed that Israel would renew its retaliatory measures if Jordan did not put an end to Arab terrorist attacks carried out by infiltrators from Jordanian territory. An emergency meeting of the U.N. Mixed Armistice Commission was planned for today in Jerusalem’s neutral zone.
