JERUSALEM, (JTA)—King Ab-
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — For the

time being Israel is not inclined
to repatriate Arab refugees nor
to pay them compensation ex-
cept within the framework of
an overall peace, as it outlined
earlier, Gordon R. Clapp, chair-
man of the UN economic survey
mission, told newsmen.
Clapp added the UN mission
had come to Tel Aviv to discuss
short term work projects 'for the
Arab refugees in the various
Middle East countries. The short
term plan had been investigated
by his group because the $32,-
000,000 allocated by the UN, and
a like sum appropriated by vol-
untary relief agencies, will be
exhausted within 36 days, he
said.
The UN official revealed a
group of UN experts will arrive
in Israel within the next two
Weeks to draw up, together with
Israel experts, the final plans
which will then be subtitled to
the Conciliation Commission.

will revisit Israel next month.
