GENEVA—( WNS)---A reso-
lution formally inviting Is-
rael and Jordan to state their
views on the question of an
international regime for Jeru-
salem was adopted by the
United Nations Trusteeship
Council.
Under the invitation qualified
representatives of both countries
would have the right to attend
and address all sessions of the
Council on the Jerusalem issue
but would have no right to vote.
A resolution which would have
extended the same representation
to the Vati••an was withdrawn
when it was decided that if the
Holy See wished to send a rep-
resentative to the Council, it
could do so through approaching
the Council via normal diplo-
matic channels.
Although many weeks have
now passed since the Council is
grappling with the problem of
implementing the General As-
sembly's internationalization de-
cision, the Trusteeship body is no
nearer a solution than when it
assumed the task of drawing a
statute for Jerusalem.
It is the mounting belief of
the Council members that the is-
sue will be settled directly be-
tween Israel and Jordan, whose
peace talks are believed to be
progressing satisfactorily.
Ilan Arrives
for UN Talks
TEL AVIV—(ISI)—Aubrey S.
Eban, permanent representative
of Israel to the United Nations,
arrived in Geneva to fepreseld
the government during the ses-
sions of the Palestine Concilia-
tiiin Commission and the Trustee-
ship Council.
Other members of the delega-
tion are Moshe Toff and Gideon
Rafael, members of the perman-
ent delegation to UN, and Dr.
Menahem Kahany, Israel's per-
manent representative to the
European offices of UN.
Eban announced to the Com-
mission that Israel would make
special efforts to solve the Arab
refugee problem and is willing to
release Arab funds in Israel up
to 100 pounds per account.
This would cost the Israel gov-
ernment $3.000.000. The funds,
Eban stated, must be payed in Is-
raeli pounds and cannot be sent
out of the country.
The funds will be transferred
•60 days after 'peace is signed.
