Jordan rejected a U.N. plan to station peacekeeping troops on its soil to allow British withdrawal. Western officials hope the decision is a token gesture. Dag Hammarskjold may visit to urge King Hussein's government to admit a U.N. force.
Abdel Monem Rifai told the Assembly Jordan would not permit U.N. observers or military units on its soil. He called for material aid to reinforce Jordan's army and security forces, risking the replacement plan for troops in Lebanon and Jordan.

Informed sources say Hammarskjold may be sent to Jordan and Lebanon to craft withdrawal procedures for U S and British forces, possibly starting by persuading Jordan to host UN troops.
