Turns •Down Arafat United Nations (JTA) — Yas- sir Arafat, leader of the Pales- tine Liberation Organization, will not come to address the gpecial commemorative session for the 40th anniversary of the United Nations. A draft resolu- tion prop- ming that Arafat be invited to take part in the 40th anniversary commemoration was withdrawn MondEiy. The decision of the sponsors of the resolution — India, Iraq, Kuwait, Nigeria, Senegal and Yemen — to withdraw .their proposal came after intense dip- lomatic lobbying and pressure during the weekend, specially by the United States and other Western countries. The 'United States, according to diplomatic sources, warned that if Arafat was invited, President Reagan would not come to address the special session. Diplomats at the UN this week described the turn of events as a severe blow to the prestige of the PLO, which has observer status at the UN. Arafat appeared once before at a General Assembly session. in November 1974. The announcement of the withdrawal of the draft resolu- tion was made at the opening of the commemorative session Monday by General Assembly President Janie de Pinies of Spain. The session will run through next week and will be addressed by more than 80 , heads of state, including Reagan and Israel's premier, Shimon Peres.
