Walworth Barbour, American Ambassador to Israel, will return to Washington today for consultations with the State Department on American-Israel relations in connection with pending issues, U.S. officials disclosed today. They said that Mr. Barbour will spend a week in Washington in consultations on the Arab refugee problem, the West Bank of the Jordan, the status of Jerusalem, and similar matters.
The State Department was said to desire that these issues be kept fluid and negotiable. A main aim of U.S. diplomacy was said to be the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the Arab states and an effort to prevent what Secretary of State Dean Rusk has termed a “polarization” in which the Russians gained ground with the Arabs.
