Western Diplomats Back Hammarskjold Plan For Mideast Peace Role
Western diplomats reported support for a Norwegian initiative giving U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold a leading part in Eisenhower proposals for Middle East peace. The plan would have Hammarskjold arrange safeguards for Lebanon and Jordan, study an economic foundation, and consider a mobile U.N. peace force with a Sept. 30 report to the General Assembly. Jordan rejected U.N. observers or units on its soil, potentially hindering the proposal.
