Gem Odd Bull, head of the U.N, Palestine truce organization. AP correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the Israeli headquarters at EI Qantara, on tihe canal, that Egypt had re- fused to allow direct communi- cation between U.N. observers on opposite sides of the canal. The Egyptian government announced it has informed Bull any Israeli attempt to move boats on the Suez Canal would be considered a violation of the cease-fire and Egyptian forces would immediately open fire. The observers moved into the canal area after the third suc- cessive weekend of fighting fol- lowing the June Arab-Israeli war and a new cease-fire worked out Saturday night at U.N. headquarters in New York The Israeli newspaper Haa-r- etz linked the fighting to Israel's demand for use of the Suez Ca- nal, from which Egypt has barred Israeli ships and cargo bound for Israel since the Jew- ish state was founded in 1948. In Jerusalem. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Da-yan by impli- cation raised the threat of an Israeli blockade if Egypt does not lift its ban. He said Israel will permit Egyptian boats to use the canal if Egypt does not interfere with Israeli use. At the moment the canal is blocked by several ships sunk in it during the war. Egypt says it will do nothing about removing them until Israeli troops give up: the territory they seized. j The five-nation Arab summit- conference in Cairo issued al communique saying they had agreed to take \effective meas- ures of aggression\ and called for a unified Arab stand, agreed to take \effective meas- ures to erase the consequences of aggression\ and called for a unified Arab stand. In New York tihe emergency session of the General Assembly was a month old today. The So- vie Union, which demanded the session, was trying to prolong it for at least two more days in the hope of negotiating a resolu- tion calling for withdrawal of Israeli troops from Arab territo- ry. But there was no ward of progress toward a compromise that could get the two-thirds vote necessary for adoption. '{Vietnamese War [Effort Hindered; White House Acts By JOHN VINOCUR ,ed.
