General Hammarskjöld received a memorandum from the Asian-African bloc urging the U.N. General Assembly exert new and stronger efforts to make Britain, France and Israel stop their military actions.

In backing up a United States resolution the assembly adopted 64-5 urging all parties in the Middle East fighting to agree to an immediate cease-fire, halt the forward movement to troops and arms, pull back behind armistice lines and stop raids across such lines.

Egypt accepted the resolution with the condition that she could not implement the resolution in case attacking armies continue their aggression.

Wednesday England and France offered to accept a "truce" but Israel continued the fighting.

Russia offered to step in in behalf of Egypt and the United States retaliated by telling the USSR to stay out of the conflict.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower had the Air Force and the Navy alert all long-range bombers and a number of warships.

The Navy disclosed it is concentrating a powerful task force off the Atlantic Coast for possible emergency use. The force is spearheaded by the 60,000-ton Aircraft Carrier Forrestal. There also has been rumors that the Nautilus, the first known atomic submarine, will join the task force.

At the same time, the Air Force reported it has curtailed routine training flights by its intercontinental Atomic Bomber Command (SAC) to "increase readiness" since hostilities broke out in the Middle East.

The General Assembly, after an all-day debate Wednesday, approved Hammarskjöld's plan for an emergency force to police the cease-fire in Egypt and supervise withdrawal of foreign troops. The vote was 64 to 0.

The Assembly also adopted a resolution, 65-1, calling on Britain and France "immediately to withdraw their forces from Egyptian territory" and on Israel to pull out of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and Gaza strip.

Israel's refusal to cooperate with the UN force was announced by Premier David Ben-Gurion in Jerusalem. He said Israel would not agree to the stationing of a foreign force "in her territory or in any of the area occupied by her."

Hammarskjöld announced he would ask the 12 countries volunteering men to get their troops on the way as soon as Egypt accepted each nationality. There was no word of Egyptian acceptance, but some delegates predicted the first UN troops would be in the canal zone in two or three days.
