...Arab officials explained that some of the leaders were tired and needed rest. The more plausible explanation was that they wanted time to thresh out in private conferences the agenda for the summit. Much of the discussion probably centered on demands by Arafat and Nasser for more support and solidarity. Arafat, who arrived aboard Nasser's plane, wants more money for his guerrillas and a straightforward declaration of support from every Arab League member. Nasser himself hopes to secure an increase in the annual subsidies that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Libya pay out of oil royalties to support their...

U.S. officials contend that security problems and the cost of Vietnamizing the war make bridge-building unrealistic now. They deny any change in policy, saying that Nixon is simply waiting...

U.N. executives felt that the chief should be non-American, particularly if the project is ultimately to draw the support of North Viet Nam. They selected Switzerland's Victor H. Umbricht, head of CIBA Ltd., the drug manufacturer...
