PERSONAL
GUARANTEE BY UN OFFICIAL
Peking Invitation
United Nations, Jan. 21.
Mr Dag Hammarskjold, the United Nations Secretary-General, tonight said he would hold himself responsible for the security of American relatives who wanted to go to Peking to visit American airmen imprisoned by the Chinese Com- munists.
He gave this personal guarantee after the United States government said it could not encour- age relatives to go to an area "where the normal protections of an American passport cannot be offered."
