JERUSALEM (AP) - Amid heightening tension, the United Nations Palestine truce chief con- ferred with Premler David Ben- Gurion Sunday on how to halt new bloodshed on the Egyptian - Gaza frontier.

.. foreign ministry spokesman said Ben- Gurion told Canadian Maj.-Gen. E. L. M. Burns that Is- rael must reserve the right to take what action it deems best if Egypt fails to come up with a guarantee to refrain from "hostile acts."

Israel earlier ordered secret seb-

' urity measures to cope with what

it described as Arab commando raids in which 10 or more night attacks were made deep in lsr.-zii territory.

Gen. Burns had been asked by UN Secretary-General Dag Ham- marsklold to stay at his Jerusalem post because of the outbreaks in the Gaza area on the Egyptian-ls- raeli border. Gn. Burns had been slated to fly to Rome for con- ference on Hmmarskjoldts Mid- dle East peace. mission.

A UN announcement said Gen. Burns asked for the interview with Ben-Gurlon.

IEASONED TROOPS . From the front line back to the administrative and supply units the army was seasoned. integrated and disciplined to a high point of efficiency. Their training of this supreme moment had cost them in dead and wounded. in a donut pitched battles and in hund- reds of trench raldi operations. From it all the Corps ad emerged conndent, with high morale, on force nnexcelled on the Ion! battle front.

ge which had dominated the alli- ed trenches for so long. There were casualties as the Canadians pren-

the attack, and the Germans resisted with their usual tenacity. but everywhere the advance contin tied and only at the Pimple at the extreme left of the Ridge. and its highest point was the enemy able to temporily stand off the dctei-min ed Canadia thrust. But the Pim- ple too, fel before the onslaught of in Nova Scotia Scottish Battalion and by the morning of the 10th, the Corps had swept beyond the Ridge and across the Dousi Plains and into a countryside hitherto un- marked by war.

GREAT DAY

It was a great day for Canada. The Corps had taken ten thousand prisoners, had deprived the Germ- ans of a great natural fortress and had severely shaken the mor- ale and confidence of the German military machine.

Ahead of the Canadians in that same year, 1917. lay the assault on Hill 70, the Battle of Arras. and in October the soul-trying struggle for Passchaendale Ridge.

Many who fought at Vimy did not survive that bitter series of engagements but on that Easter morning April tllh, the men were exultantly triumphant. though they counted their own casualties in the thousands. The capture of Vimy will ever remain an epic in Can- adian military annals.
