UNITED NATIONS (WNS) — In an apparent change
of mind, UN.Secretary General Kurt Waidheim,
declared that efforts to achieve an interim agreement
to reopen the Suez Canal should be continued because it
was "complementary." to the Jarring Mission. Last
week, Waidheim said mere was little if any chance of
achieving an interim agreement and all peace efforts
should be devoted to the Jarring Mission. Waldheim's
change of mind occurred after a meeting with U.S.
Deputy. Ambassador Christopher H. Phillips.:
JERUSALEM (WNS) —. Some.200 persons were
treated at hospitals and first aid stations for conditions
ranging from frostbite to broken limbs as the city was
brought to a standstill by the worst snowstorm in
recent years. For a time, all traffic was brought to a
halt except military vehicles which brought food and
milk to settlements in the area. As the city began
digging itself out, employes of food factories and utility'
plants were driven to work in specially equipped
vehicles. .'■ '"■ ■ ' 1
