 The fighting went on despite ac- tion of the United Nations Gener- al Assembly in voting 64-5 for a resolution calling for an immedi- ate cease fire. JUN. delegates ex- pressed fear some nations in volved would not comply.
 In London, Prime Minister Eden, under growing criticism from the British Labor Party, an nounced he would make state ment in the House of Commons tomorrow on the eease-fire pro- posal.
 There were reports that Eden's government now hopes to have the JUN. take over po- licing of the Middle East after British and French forces have accomplished their mission. Eden was under mounting pres sure 10 find face-saving way out of the hostilities.
 At Ottawa, the Canadian gov ernment proposed a JUN. police force of 10000 men to patrol bor- ders between Israel and Arab states.
 The 76-nation JUN. Assembly adopting a resolution introduced by Secretary of State Dulles, also urged that Israel pull her forces out of Egypt and that Britain and France not move theirs in.
 Should the three nations fail to comply. the expectation was that a further proposal would be introduced for stronger ac- tion. Dulles resolution pro- vides for the Assembly to re- main in emergency session pending compliance but no lime was set for the next meeting.
 The vote was 64-5 with 6 absten- tions. Britain, France, Israel, Australia and New Zealand voted against the resolution. Canada, South Africa, Belgium, Laos, The Netherlands and Portugal ab- stained. Luxembourg was absent.
 Among those voting with the United States for its proposal were the seven-nation Soviet bloc, the 20 Latin-American nations, the 23-country Asian African group and Scandinavia.
 Despite the hostilities and the break in diplomatic relations be- tween Egypt and the French and British, a British Foreign Office spokesman said Britain did not regard herself as at war with Egypt. But he said plans were made to reoccupy Britain's bases in the Suez Canal Zone by mili- +arx fnrcac
