MIDDLE EAST POLICIES
Israeli-Russian Talks
(Rec. 9.40 p.m.)
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. Mr Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet Foreign Minister, and Mrs Golda Meir, the Israeli Foreign Minister, discussed Middle East problems for more than an hour today. The meeting was at the Soviet United Nations delegation offices on Park avenue. Both Ministers are in New York to lead their delegations at the General Assembly. An Israeli spokesman, disclosing the meeting, declined to divulge details. The meeting was not previously announced, and it came as a surprise to most United Nations observers. Relations between the Soviet and Israeli delegations have been generally regarded as rather cool at this session of the Assembly, as they were at the previous one.
The Soviet Union was a bitter critic of Israeli actions in Egypt last year, and Russian delegates have made no secret of their sympathy for the Arab position in the Middle East trouble.
