Guarded 1967 Victory Marked By Israeli Security Measures
Israel marked the seventh anniversary of the 1967 war with tightened security and warnings to watch for suspicious objects. UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim visited Tel Aviv amid demonstrations fears, while U N forces including 1000 Canadian troops prepared to observe disengagement accords with Egypt and Syria. Waldheim praised UN help for implementing the armistice and a prisoner exchange plan. Kissinger pledged aid if a disengagement agreement was reached. Separately, Alberta meat-packers faced a broad lockout threat amid union disputes, with negotiations led by Bill Dickie and Alberta ministers seeking a resolution to prevent supply disruptions.
