4-Power Talks Resume at Accelerated Pace THE UNITED NATIONS (JTA )—Four- Power efforts to find the basis for a solution of the Arab-Israeli con- flict were under way again Wednes- day after a five-month hiatus. An initial four-hour meeting 'held Tuesday evenings was aparently not productive of much more than a decision to continue the talks at an accelerated pace and an agreement on the readiness of the participants "to consider at their meetings specific questions con- cerning the implementation of this resolution (the Security Council resolution of Nov. 22, 1967) in all its aspects as a package deal re- lating to the entire region of con- flict in the Middle East." The envoys of the United States, Soviet Union, Britain and France held their 16th meeting Tuesday in the apartment of Am- bassador Charles W. Yost.

Should Moscow agree with the concept communicated by the U.S. to the USSR last Oct. 28, the U.S. government would strongly urge Israel to go along. Officials hope that an affirmative Soviet response is received in time to allow for pressure on Israel prior to the Dec. 20 Arab summit conference.
