It As is understood that the UN body \te e t" plans to meet the Israelis next Tuesday for the last time prior to the "interruption." It will meet the Arabs from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Transjordan the next day. The purpose of these meetings will be to ask the delegates to get specific in- structions from their govern- ments on two main issues-refu- gees and territory. 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 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.
