into Egypt. This cleared the way for the first UN army units to,take up their peace duties in Middle

Announcing Egypt's agreement in New York, UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold disclosed he would leave to-day for Cairo. Apparently he wants to see that there is no last-minute slip
in the arrangements. ^
