these meetings will be to ask
the delegates to get specific in-

Also unresolved is the major
territorial problem. United States
policy is still urging Israel to
give territorial compensation for
holding on to Western Galilee.
The American view is that any
territorial compensation is ac-
ceptable, but in order to ap-
pease the Arabs and the British,
concessions in the Negev would
be advisable. The latest Arab
proposal made in this connec-
tion is held here to reflect the

JERUSALEM-Israeli accept-
of a plan to pay reparations
for war damage to Catholic in-
stitutions and efforts to check
looting of religious places ap-
pears to have eased the tension
of Israeli Catholic relations.
Though the Church and Israel
remain at odds regarding the
internationalization of Jerusa-
lem and the Arab refugee prob-
lems, the Vatican has informed
UN Secretary General Trygve
Lie of its satisfaction with Is-
rael's guarantees of reparations
and protection to religious insti-
tntions.
The plans call for an assess-
ment of the war damages to be
made by Church authorities or
the United NationS and pre-
sented as a claim against the
Tel Aviv government.

on May 17 that a group of Jews
had invaded the chapel and
residential quarters of the Fran-
ciscan Sisters at Ain Karem,
near Jerusalem, and smashed a
number of holy statues. The
Radio stated that the Sisters
had previously been requested by
the Israel military authorities to
leave the Convent, which was to
be requisitioned for troops.

(E. R. Warner, permanent
British delegate to the United
Nations headquarters at Geneva,
arrived in Lausanne for con-
sultation with the American
members of the Commission.
This is the first open contact
between a British official and
the Commission, and is believed
to be connected with the U.S.
request that Britain furnish a
member for the Commission's
sub-committee of experts to in-
vestigate the situation of the
Arab refugee.)
Israel Opposes Recess
TEL AVIV. (JTA)-The Israeli
Government has nut yet received
official notification of the UN
Conciliation Commission's deci-
sion to adjourn the Lausanne
peace parley, it was learned
here. It was pointed out in in-
formed circles here that Israel
still opposes the suspension of
talks, asserting that full respon-
sibility for this move rests with
the Commission and the Arabs.
Financial negotiations between
Israel and Britain will open here
July 1. The British delegation
is expected here early this week
and the government has already
assigned a special official to
deal with problems allied to the
negotiations.

Arab War Threats

Arab threats to renew the war
against Israel are being consid-
ered seriously by Israeli auth-
orities. Official circles asserted
that Arab threats "are not
empty" because they are accom-
panied by military preparations.
