Mr. Poska noted that the staff for the 19C9 program was composed primarily of upper division and graduate college students. "The efforts of this mature/ experienced staff was largely responsible for the success of our camp program," he said. Commenting on the inclusion of the black children In the camp program, Mr. Poska indicated that thpir relationship
with the Jewish campers had positive value for both groups. "In addition," Mr. Poska said, "the black children were given the opportunity to develop new skills in all areas of the camping program."

U Thant Asks Israel, Egypt To Agree United Nations, N; Y. (JTA) —Secretary-General U Thant has asked Israel and Egypt to agree to four measures for the protection of United Nations cease-fire observers along the Suez Canal. The measures, based mainly on recommendations from Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, head of the case-fire observation organization, had been discussed by representatives of the seven nations supplying ihe observers before they were communicated to Israel and Egypt. Thant asked both countries to agree to permit a UN patrol boat to play the waters of tho Suez Canal and thus provide easier access to the UN observation posts. Neither country . has agreed to the use of the waters by the other and 1 neither is believed willing to accord this right to the UN personnel. A second* measure asked was
establishment of "safe perimeters" around the observationposts. Israel has largely observed'this in practice and has not stationed guns or garrisons near the posts on the east bank but the Egyptians have placed b a t t e r i e s relatively close to the observation posts in the hope that the Israelis would not return their fire for fear of hitting the UN posts. The third proposal was for the strengthening of the UN posts and making them safer. The Israelis have said that they were willing to b u i l d stronger posts for the UN observers on their side of the canal but Egyptian gunners have prevented the Israelis from' carrying out the necessary construction work. The fourth'measure was for the end of the exclusively Egyptian practice of sniping at the UN observation posts.
