Informed sources said the notes touted Tito's own Middle East plan which would call for a U.N. Security Council resolution affirming the right of all Middle East states to exist and calling on Israel to withdraw from conquered Arab territories. Tito was reportedly hopeful that President Johnson would at least not oppose his plan and perhaps would use his influence to get its acceptance. Other messages were going through regular diplomatic channels to Britain, the Soviet Union and other world leaders.

Canadians Crack Down On Campers By United Press International Canadian officials cracked down on campers in tinder-dry recreation areas today as armies of fire fighters made slight headway in attempts to smother blazes in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. Nearly 200,000 acres of grass, brush and timber land have been ravaged by fires the past three weeks in British Columbia, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana and California. It has been the worst outbreak in memory. In Southern California, firemen controlled portions of the Piru fire. However, gusty winds sent flames licking into Lime Canyon and threatening about 50 oil wells.
