The Dutch and Indonesian delegations have definitely failed to reach an agreement on the future political status of Western New Guinea, it was announced this evening at the close of their final session at The Hague.
General Peace
Parleys
Lake Success, Dec. 27.
The Asian-Arab bloc is planning a new major effort in the United Nations to ease the Far East crisis, it was learned today..
Spurred to action by Communist China's rejection of the United Nations' cease-fire effort, 12 of the 13 Asian-Arab states that initiated that frustrated move held an emergency Christmas Eve session to consider another approach. Delegation sources said the 12 nations would meet. again later this week.
It was believed the group was planning to press for General Assembly adoption of their temporarily-shelved proposal for a peace parley on broad Far Eastern issues. This belief was heightened. by the fact that the Philippines-13th sponsor of the cease-fire move-was not invited to the new series of urgent meetings.
