With the three-month investigation of the Royal Commission drawing to a close, Arab leaders decided today to testify before it, thus breaking a boycott in effect since the investigation opened.
A resolution to abandon the boycott was adopted at a meeting of the Arab Supreme Committee, following the advice of the rulers of neighboring Moslem countries, who contended the boycott injured the Arab cause.
Hassan Sidky el Dajani, leader of the Arab Defense Party, is expected to be the first to testify. His testimony is scheduled for tomorrow’s session of the commission.
