United Nations Secretary General Dag Ram Marskjold, returning from Geneva where he conferred with Dr. Mahmoud Fawz, Foreign Minister of the United Arab Republic, refused yesterday to make public any details of his talks with the UAR statesmen or with Russian and British leaders whom he met with earlier in Moscow and London.
Although, in line with his policy of “quiet diplomacy, ” Mr. Hammarskjold would not give details to the press, it was reported in Geneva during the talks that he and Dr. Fawzi had discussed: the Israel-Syrian border situation; the activities of the UN Emergency Force; freedom of passage through the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Akaba, and legal ques. tions affecting the UN and the UAR resulting from the recent Egyptian-Syrian merger. It is believed that the Middle East situation was also discussed in Moscow and London.
