NO PROGRESS MADE IN Five

JEWISH-ARAB PEACE TALKS

Conference Six

Six Weeks Old

Lausanne, Switzerland, June 9.-The Arab-Jewish peace talks appeared bogged down deeper than ever on Thursday in Lausanne. The head of the Israeli delegation, Mr Walter Eytan, announced that he brought no new Jewish proposals from his recent consultations with the Israeli government which might have broken the three weeks old deadlock.

At the same time the four Arab delegations issued a veiled hint that they might walk out of the pence talks unless the Jews evacuated a strip of neutral territory in Jerusalem which they occu- pied on June 6.

Despite the lack of progress, a spokesman for the UN Pales- tine Concillation Commission said on Thursday night that the Com- mission members were "not quite as pessimistic as they might be in the circumstances,”

For Cheese

London, June 9.—Britain will have to use her own limited dollar resources in- stead of Marshall aid to pay for 50 million pounds of Canadian chcese be- cause of the United States' decision to declare cheese a surplus commodity, British officials connected with Marshall aid stated today.

Once any commodity is de- clared a surplus in the United States, Marshall ald dollars can no longer be used to buy it from any other country.
