United Nations. Dec. 13.

Ten Asian-African nations withdrew their original re- solution on Morocco in the United Nations Main Political Committee tonight and presented instead a proposal to post- pone further consideration of the item "for the time being."

The proposal was submitted by Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, the Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan and the Yemen in what was called a "concilia- tory move" in view of the opinion expressed during debate that there would be direct Franco-Moroccan talks on the situation in the North African teritory.
