"We are a peace force, we are not fighting anyone," Bunche said. "The United Nations has never questioned the legal i of Egypt in Gaza." JERUSALEM, Israel (UP)--Foreign Office spokesman Moshe Leshem said today acceptance of an Egyptian governor in the Gaza Strip would be regarded by Israel as a breach of its withdrawal agreement. Egypt announced Monday it had appointed Maj, Gen. Abdel Hassan Latif as administrator governor for the Gaza Strip and instructed him to take up his duties "forthwith: 1 Prior to his statement Israeli observers predicted an immediate outbreak of violence along the tense Arab-Israeli border if Egypt resumes administration of the refugee-choked area. Israeli newspapers hinted that Israel would have to "do something drastic" to halt raids by Egyptian Fedayeen commandoes from the protection of the Gaza Strip.

It was such Fedayeen activity along the border that caused Israel to strike into the Sinai Desert last year and touch off the Suez fighting. Israel appeared to be waiting for the lime being for the UNEF to handle the situation, and Premier David Ben-Gurion also expressed faith in the ability of the UN to maintain freedom of navigation in the Gulf of Aqaba. along Route 119.

This action came after consultation with Warren Bailey of the traffic engineering section of the State De- jartment of Highways.

The proposed stoplight would be treadle-type which would compensate for the greater traffic on 3 ittsburg St. Cars passing over treadles on Green St. would activate the light. Push buttons would be placed on utility poles to permit children to stop traffic. The light would cost between $2,000 and S2.500.

Y. --The United Stales insisted loday on a free hand for Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold in working out the United Nations' role in the Middle East. But Israeli diplomats looked lo Washington for the United States to take steps in view of Egypt's announced plans lo take over ad- minislralion of the Gaza Strip "forthwith." Colombia, one of the 10 countries supplying troops lo U1S Emergency Force, called for a manpower increase of from 6,000 to 20.000 men. However, Ihe seven-nation Advisory Committee on UNEF decid rd in an hour-long meeting with Hammarskjold Monday lhat no new measures were necessary al this time. U.S.

Ambassador Henry Cabot Ledge was understood to have as- s-urcd Hammarskjold the United Slates stood on its position that he must be given freedom of movement in working out a Mideasl solution The United States was unswerving in ils insislanrc that the initial takeover of military and civilian administration in the Gaza and Aqaba strips be by the United Nations alone. This ruled out as- ui' ijortti Lgypus governor designate for Gaza. i Gaza The United States also insisted fha( arrangements to follow the initial takeover be worked out by Hammarskjold i consultation with Egypt and Israel. This indicated (he United States still was pressing for i stationing of on the Israeli as well as Ihe Kgypfian side of the 1949 armistice demarcation line. The United Nations secretariat jefused to be "panicked" by crisis rcrorts from the Gaza Strip.

The m-essed assembly can be recalled af any time to consider the Middlf East but thrre a dflf- jratos fii this time. United States urged Egypt today cooperate with the United Nations to keep peace in the trou- aled Gaza Strip. In a statement, the State Department voiced i government's strong support for the United Nations and its emergency force in both the Gaza and Suez Canal areas. The statement was read to newsmen by Department Press Officer Lincoln White amid reports that Egypt is planning to take over administration of Gaza Strip and to bar Israeli ships from the Suez Canal. "The United States government is closely following developments in the Middle East respecting the Gaza Strip and the Suez Canal," the statement said.

LONDON (UP)-British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan called his cabinet into urgent session to day to consider the threat of a new explosion in the Middle East. The British government feared Egyptian President Carnal Abdel Nasser's apparent intention to lake over administration of the Gaza Strip might snap the uneasy truce on the Israeli-Egyptian border. Britain also was alarmed at the danger of a new nitch resump tion of the free flow of oil. Nasser's move to take immediate control of Gaza from the United Nations Emergency Force caught Britain by surprise. The government put off consulting with the United States on new diplomatic moves until it learned more about Nasser's intentions.

Officials said U.N. Secretary till almost the end" on the United States' Antarctic programs which he supervised. Still the defiant work-horse and commander, the gradually declining health he never admitted prevented him from personally taking part in "Operation Deepfreeze," his fifth and final "trip" to Antarctica. He called the expedition the "fulfillment of my life's ambition." From all quarters, by ham radio from the men of "Operation Deepfreeze," and from Navy- brass, came messages of grief and condolence. "We all feel a deep personal loss over the death of the admiral who was responsible for the great work that has gone on here," said his "Deepfreeze" comrades still probing his beloved South Pole for international geophysical year information." Acting Defense Secretary Ruben B.

Robertson said the admiral's death "is a great loss to the nation." Navy Secretary Charles Thomas said, "I am terribly grieved to learn of the passing of Admiral Byrd. He was completely dedicated to a career of scientific exploration in polar science and research that extended the field of knowledge and American prestige in this sphere throughout the world." Forced to "retire" from active duty because of a leg injury at 27 shortly after graduation from. Annapolis, Byrd went on to cover more square miles of Antarctica than all other explorers combined. In the interval, he became one of the pioneers of naval avialion, served in both world wars, and became the Navy's youngest rear admiral, at the age of 41. Byrd also supervised the first systematic survey of the Arctic by air and he made the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic in a multi-engine plane.

Those accomplishments, as well as Ihe encompassing earlier four polar expeditions, marked Byrd as the world's foremost air explorer. The expeditions were launched in 1928, 1934, 1939 and 1947 and he never ceased his efforts for conlinued development of the Antarctic. He was deeply convinced the immense frozen expanse would furnish natural resources, strategic advantages and valuable scientific knowledge for the United States. ward Persuhn of Hooversville, Mrs. Walter Beal of Meyersdale, A.
