Smith said 'Hammarskjold had a "strong' opinion" 'on proposals to hold a security council. meeting in Geneva to hear his report, on his mission, but was unwilling to comment at this time. Until today no fresh incidents bad been reported along Israel's borders since Thursday. Both Israel and Egypt have given Hammarskjold written assurances they will refrain from hostile acts.

The pledges were followed by a brief aerial dog fight and an exchange of border fire Thursday. Then quiet prevailed. Egypt was said to have given further assurances that she has pulled Arab commandos out of Israel, Israel accused the raiders of killing 14 and wounding 32 in the past week. To To Israel Hammarskjold, who is expected to spend a month conferring with Arab and Israeli leaders, is scheduled to push on to Israel Monday after-a weekend of staff work at Beirut. The secretary has sent Premier David Ben-Gurion a message asking further assurance that Israel had given orders to quit shooting across the border.

He said Egypt bad promised to issue such orders. Hammarskjold is expected to take to Israel a plan to pull troops of both sides about, one third of a mile back from the border. Nasser originated the idea last summer and it received endorsement from the U.K. Security Council. Unconfirmed Cairo reports said Israeli had now agreed in principle.

One of the most dangerous aspects of the frontier situation in the opinion of many lias been the heavy concentration of troops over the past six months. It has been estimated that Egypt now has GO per cent of its armed force in the eastern Sinai Desert near the Israeli frontier. There have been reports of a similar buildup on the Israeli side.
