On Monday the full committee is scheduled to meet and approve the entire control plan.

It is generally presumed here, however, that the post of director will be given to the Netherlands delegate, Admiral de Graaf, while another Netherlands delegate, Ad- miral Oliver, is expected to be placed in charge of the four patrol- ling fleets.
