At week's end Israel's Milwaukee-raised Foreign Minister Golda Meir was invited to London on short notice. She had just held "satisfactory" talks with the French in Paris, where the De Gaulle government promised stepped-up arms shipments (Israel and France have been buddies against Nasser since Suez).
