The Kennedy letter to King
Hussein seemed to favor repatri-
ation and compensation for Arab
refugees. It was understood that
all the letters expressed concern
over the plight of the Arab refu-
gees, and favored repatriation
and compensation by Israel.
State Department sources
stressed that American relations
with the UAR were constantly
improving, since the Cairo-Mos-
cow rift. They said that the UAR,
though neutralist, was a friendly
nation, and that the possibility
of an invitation to Nasser at some
future date could not be entirely

Premier Kassem said Iraq re-
fused to negotiate about Pales-
tine because it was up to the
Arab states to solve the Palestine
issue without permitting any for-

plans to tighten and intensify the
Arab blockade, boycott, and em-
bargo against Israel. An an-

cott office said the tightening re-
sulted from recent developments,
including a boycott conference
in the Arab sector of Jerusalem.
The new tactics will be aimed
at severing Israeli commercial
ties in Africa through a joint
Arab program. It will feature
economic aid to emergent Afri-
can countries, if such countries
reject Israeli help..
