Representatives of Syria participating in current Israeli-Syrian armistice negotiations were reported today still adamant in refusing to accept Jewish demands that the Syrians withdraw to the international boundary.

It was decided today to postpone any further meetings between the two negotiating sides for a full week in order to enable both delegations to consult with their governments. The negotiators agreed, however, to exchange about 15 wounded Prisoners of war. The transfer will begin on Monday.
