The members of the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine met with Mordecai Kidron, deputy representative of Israel to the UN, yesterday to discuss the release of all Arab refugee accounts frozen in Israel regardless of the size of the account.
Last year, following agreement between Israel and the Conciliation Commission, Israel unilaterally released refugee accounts up to a certain figure. For this sum the amount of 1, 000, 000 pounds sterling was set aside, but somewhat less than that figure has been paid out up to now. Payment is made upon certification of applications by owners of the frozen accounts.
(In Washington today, Israel Ambassador Abba Eban called on Assistant Secretary for United Nations Affairs David Key to discuss with him various UN matters including future procedures in connection with a discussion in the Security Council of its resolution of September 1, 1951 concerning the Suez Canal blockade.)
