Hammarskjold to visit Middle East for UN peace efforts
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold announced he will depart Monday to begin UN arrangements to remove American troops from Lebanon and British forces from Jordan.

The mission follows an all Arab General Assembly resolution praising peace efforts and aims to safeguard Jordan and Lebanon's territorial integrity while expanding economic development in consultation with Arab states. Dulles praised the Arab accord but cautioned that resolution alone cannot solve deep rooted Middle East problems.
