Official quarters today denied a report that the forthcoming meeting between Israel’s Premier Levi Eshkol and West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard had been canceled. The meeting is expected to take place at the end of March, following Mr. Eshkol’s meeting with British Prime Minister Harold Wilson in London, on March 25. However, it was indicated that the date of the Eshkol-Erhard parley may be advanced or postponed, depending on possible developments in connection with the rift between West Germany and Egypt.
