first Christian-Jewish-Moslem Friendship
Mission ever to go to the Middle- East, are

ern, juncture with the Jordan River. Seat-

lem friendships.

GENEVA—A spokesman for
the International Red Cross
denied Tuesday reports that
the organization's special envoy
to the Middle East was due to
return to Geneva to present a
full report on his efforts in be-

Israel fishing trawler, the
Doron, detained by Egypt since
Sept. 25.
The spokesman said the Red
Cross envoy was still negotiat-

and was not expected to re-
turn to Geneva "for the time

It was learned that the Red

detention of the crew and the
70-ton trawler.
It was also learned that the
Red Cross hopes there will be
a prompt release of the crew
to save the international agency
from its present "face-losing en-
terprise."
