...Christiansborg Castle* and Accra's flag-draped airport to welcome delegates. As cannons boomed, planes disgorged the Foreign Ministers of Libya, Tunisia and the Sudan.

But U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare reportedly detected hope in the long talks he has been conducting in Cairo with Egypt's Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi, and the Egyptian attitude is described as polite and reasonable. As a result, the U.S. decided against taking the problem to the U.N.
