OTTAWA (CP)Prime Minister Eden Tuesday proposed an unarm- ed. multl-nation force under the United Nations to help oversee the truce in Palestine.

He told a press conference that in the 50-man truce team in Palestine under Maj-Gen. E. L. M. Burns of Ottawa is enlarged. it is the British view that the observers be recruited from "all sorts of aa- tions."

He added that there has been no proposal that Canada take on such a job alone and that he will not discuss with Canadian leaders any possible Canadian contribution to n Palestine security force.

Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd said any increase in Gen. Burns' truce team should be a matter for the governments concerned-that is, Isreal and the Arab states. There could be no attempt to im- pose such a plan on them. SHOULD COME FROM UN

Both heland Sir Anthony made plain that recommendation. for a larger force should come directly from the United Nations.
