is suffering in consequence,
A number of senior officers and at least one area com- mander are among the 300. This eyewitness account of what happened was given me by a reliable diplo. mntle Hource:—

dealing with the problem of Middle East security. The feeling appears to be grow- ing that Israel has been given insufficient gaurau- tees to safeguard its bor- ders against renewed at- tacks by Arab Irregulars. The presence of the United Nations Emergency Force along the Sinai-israell border may help to mitigate the danger to some extent but Mr David Ben-Gurion sees the need for further unsurances,
The eight countries had refused to sign the resolution supported by 19 other Asian and African countries calling for the recognition of Algeria's right of self-determination and negotiations between France and the Algerian population.
