U. N. Chief Slaps Israel
On Withdrawal Delay
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.. Jan. 16 (/P).—Secretary General 1
Dag Hammarskjold declared today the withdrawal of Israeli forces
behind the 1949 armistice line is an essential step for restoring
peace with Egypt.
In a progress report to the General Assembly, Mr. Ham
marskjold said he had held extensive but unsuccessful discussions
with representatives of Israel
“aiming at full compliance with
the withdrawal requirements”
laid down by the assembly last
November.
Israel Still Silent
Israel, he said, still was silent
“concerning compliance with the
resolutions by withdrawal of
Israeli forces from the Gaza
atrip.”
This is one of the two areas
which Israel said yesterday
would still remain in its hands
when a new phase of the with
drawal from Egypt is completed
January 22. The other area is
Sharm El Sheikh on the Gulf of
Aqaba.
Mr. Hammarskjold said Israel
had indicated the evacuation of
the Aqaba strip is anticipated,
although it had suggested fur
ther talks with him on this
problem. He indicated this in
volved the question of guaran-!
teeing free shipping through the
Gulf of Aqaba, but he said he
did not consider this question fell
within the mandate given him
by the Assembly.
He released his report as the
27-natlpn Aslan-Arab bloc pre
pared to lay before the Assembly
a resolution condemning the
pace of Israel’s withdrawal and
calling for economic and finan
cial restrictions against Israel.
Falls on Egypt Side
The Secreary General said the
assembly’s November resolutions
make “it clear that the with
drawal of Israel forces must be
behind the armistice line as it
has been established in the
Egypt-Israel agreement.”
He added that the Gaza strip,
“according to this agreement,
falls on the Egyptian side of the
armistice demarcation line” and

i said further talks with Israel are
’ required on this point.
He expressed the belief that'
other parts of the assembly*
resolutions, such as appeals to
the two parties to observe the I
[ armistice and to refrain from I
; raids across the border, could be
given full attention by him once
the withdrawal is completed. '
i An Israeli deregation spokes

; plans to hold Sharm El Sheikh*
. as a lever to obtain U. N. guar
antees against Egypt’s again
; barring Israeli shipping from the
I Gulf of Aqaba, the only water
route to Southern Israel. Until!
Israel overran them during her!
invasion, Egyptian fortifications
at Sharm El Sheikh had kept]
' the gulf closed to Israeli shipping'
; for Israel's entire lifetime as &j
state.
So far there were no pro
posals on how the U. N. could!
keep the gulf open if Israel re-j
turned Sharm El Sheikh and
Egypt decided to dose the water-j
way. Egypt in the past has ig-j
nored U. N. resolutions asking)
for an end to her ban on Israeli
shipping using the Suez Canal.
Israel also announced it was
not withdrawing at present from
the Gaza Strip, which it consid
ers historically a part of Pales
tine. Egypt had controlled the
narrow stretch of land on the
■ Mediterranean before Israeli
s forces seized it in their October
• November operation.
* United States Lt. Col. K. R.
Nelson, a member of the head
quarters staff of the U. N. Emer
gency Force in Egypt, reported

, units appeared to be digging in

BLOCKING THE ROAD BACK—lsraeli troops, pulling out of El Arish in the
Sjnai Peninsula, set up a blockade on the Rafa road. El Arish was the most
important city seized by Israeli forces in their thrust toward the Suez Canal in
October-November—AP Wirephoto via radio from Tel Aviv.

that Israel should withdraw
promptly. United States Chief

i Abba Eban and Egyptian For
eign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi.
i Mr. Eban also has been nego
tiating with Mr. Hammarskjold
on the withdrawal.
Mr. Fawzi last week sent Mr.
Hammarskjold a letter warning
of “extremely serious conse
quences unless compliance with
Assembly resolutions be secured
without delay.”
A convoy of 500 Egyptian
soldiers today was scheduled to
occupy El Arish, the adminis
trative center of the Sinai
region given up yesterday by
Israeli troops.
After the Israelis pulled out,
Yugoslav units of the U. N.
emergency force moved into the
city of 30,000 to a joyous wel
come from Egyptian residents.
Damage appeared widespread in
many sections of the city, with
buildings leveled or partially
crumbled.

Fulfills Last Wish
BOSTON. Jan. 16 (#>).—Eye
specialists have helped the late
Merrill D. Aldrich of Falmouth,

of his eyes for a corneal trans
plant on Mrs. Mary Smart, 42.
at Bangor, Mrs. Smart has been
blind for 10 years.
The other eye was used at
! Massachusetts Eye and Ear In
j firmary for a similar operation
'on Mrs. Clara Best, 21-year-old
mother of three from St. John s,
;New- Brunswick, who had waited
four months for such an opera
tion.
Results of the operations can
not be known immediately.

WARSAW, Jan. 16 (#).■—Po
land and Communist China lined
up together today with a Joint
statement attacking United
States policy in the Middle and
Far East.
Communist Chinese Premier
Chou En-Lai and the reputedly
independence-minded Warsaw
regime called for “the strength
ening of the solidarity of all
countries of the socialist camp."
The statement was signed at
the end of a five-day visit by
Premier Chou, Just before he
flew off to Budapest for a one
day visit to rebellion-tom Hun
gary. He was to return to Mos
cow tomorrow for a brief stop
before going on to Afghanistan.
In an obvious reference to the
Eisenhower doctrine, the Chinese
and Polish leaders charged that
the United States is “trying by;
means of economic, and military
pressure ... to subjugate” the
Middle East.
“In the Far East,” the decla-;
ration continued, “the United
States is conducting a policy of
military blocs which creates a
threat to the national liberation
interests of the peoples of this
area. Both (the Polish and Chi
nese Communist) parties state
