NOT YET MADE Britons
Washington, Feb. 24.
The Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, and the Israeli Ambassador, Mr Abba Eban, 'joined tonight in voicing the hope that a "solution will be found to the deadlock over Israel's withdrawal from Egyptian territory."
Mr Dulles and Mr Eban made. the statement in a joint communique issued at the end of a long conference. The communique, first issued jointly by the two officials, appeared to be somewhat more optimistic than previous utterances on the Middle East crisis.
But it left unanswered the key question of just what position the United States will take when the United Nations General Assembly resumes debate tomorrow on an Afro-Asian pro- posal to impose sanctions on Israel.
Mr Dulles and Mr Eban sald further talks would be held here and in New York at the United Nations. Mr Dulles
had conferred earlier in the day with Democratic and Re. publican Senate leaders on the Israeli
