H. Lagerfeld, director-general of the Swedish Foreign Ministry, arrived here today and was received by Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett and Dr. Walter Eytan, Lagerfeld’s counterpart in the Israel Ministry.

Among other matters, the diplomats discussed the assassination of the late U.N. Palestine mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte. It is understood that Mr. Lagerfeld gave the Israel officials a copy of an official Swedish report on the case which is known to charge that Israel is doing little to track down and punish Bernadotte’s murderers. It is also expected that the Swedish official will remain here until he receives Israel’s reply to the charges in the report.
