In Move To

Israeli Premier David Ben-Gus ion warned in a speech to the Knesset (parliament) that Israe. eserved "freedom of action" It e Egyptians returned to Gaza. In New York, the UN announced that Hammarskjold, who hac planned to take off for Cairo Sat- urday for talks with Nasser. had postponed his trip.

TALK WITH DULLES

Before the postponement was an nounced Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban conferred with Hammarsk laid and said Mrs. Meir would seek a "very frank exchange of views" with Dulles.

"There are certain assumptions and expectations Israel held in common with the United States." he said. "We want to find out whether they are valid."

Eban said "This action flouts the overwhelming sentiment of in- ternational opinion expressed in- side and outside the UN that the UN should retain complete control of the Gaza Strip and full respon- sihllity for the conduct of affairs there until the final settlement is reached."

He said the Israeli government was surprised that UN Undersec- retary Ralph Bunche and UN com- mander Mai.-Gen. E. L. M. Burns. in conference in Cairo this week had agreed so hastily to let the Egyptian governor return to Gaza.

Egyptian officials have hinted they do not intend to send mili- tary forces baclt to Gaza yet Gen. Latif. the Egyptian governor, in his first broadcast to the Gaza people Friday. called upon
