RECALL OF UN
TRUCE CHIEF
A "Dangerous Situation"
New York, Oct. 19.
The United Nations Security Council today decided to invite General Vagn Bennike, Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Commission in Palestine, to start immediately for New York to report on the tension between Israel and neigh- bouring Arab States.
The proposal to invite General Bennike was made by Mr Henry Cabot Lodge, of the United States. The President of the Council, Mr William Borberg, of Denmark, declared the suggestion approved when there were no objections to it.
Today's meeting of the Security Council was called by Britain, France and the United States to consider the mounting tension between Israel and the Arab States.
The Big Three Powers declared in making the urgent request for the meeting that "prompt consideration" of the matter was "necessary to prevent a possible threat to the security of the area."
