Britain Sends More Troops To Red Sea London, March 12 -(P)- Britain ordered more troops today to reinforce the British garrison at Aqaba, tiny Red Sea port which Trans-Jordan claims is threatened by Israeli forces. The announcement of troop reinforcements was made by the War Office after Israeli soldiers were reported only three miles away from Agaba, on the Palestine side of the desert frontier. Although Israel and Trans-Jordan signed a cease fire agreement yesterday at Rhodes, the troops movement underlined serious view that the London government took of the Israeli move in the Negev desert. Minister of State Hector McNeil told the House of Commons yesterhad reported a frontier clash between Israeli forces and Trans-Jordan police in the region.

In Tel Aviv, Israeli officials dented that Jewish forces have crossed the Trans Jordan frontier or intend any threat to British forces. About 1,000 British troops were sent to Aqaba last January at Abdullah's request under Jordan mutual defense treat. The War Office refused tion on the size of the British reinforcements or where they were sent from. A foreign Office spokesman said Israeli troops were reported on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, across the Palestine-Trans-Jordan border from Aqaba. The touchy situation at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba arises from the Israeli claim to the southern sector of the Palestine Negev desert which would give Israel an outlet to the Red Sea.

Britain and TransJordan never have recognized Israel's claim to the Red Sea outlet.
