909. Palun 194. From Ethridge. No progress made so far in reconciling Arab and Israeli positions and no possibility obtaining commitment of type outlined Unpal 1411 before my departure.2 Also practically no prospect obtaining such commitment in course subsequent PCC discussions here. However, I have some ideas oh subject which hope discuss on arrival Washington June 14 and suggest Department delay action till then. [Ethridge.]
