Lebanon asks UN to seal off border amid Syrian shelling
Premier Sami Solh announced Lebanon asked the United Nations to send an emergency force to seal Lebanon's frontier with the Syrian province of the UAR. President Chamoun said Syrian shelling endangered peace, with 10,000 to 12,000 rebels facing security forces and 25 to 50 percent of insurgents possibly Egyptian or Syrian entrants. Rebels have grown since the revolt began, and U.N. observers can only watch. The Soviet Union opposed Western intervention and warned against turning U.N. observers into a police force.
