UNESCO urged to rescind actions
ARTHUR MILLER . . leads del^ation
UNITED NATIONS-Dr. Aham-dou M'Bow, director general of UNESCO, was urged by groups of prominent American scholars, artists and writers in two separate meetings at U.N. headquarters to taKe action that will lead his agency to rescind its resolutions aimed at the isolation and censure of Israeh
Both groups indicated that they would not cooperate with UNESCO as long as its purposes continue
to be distorted and compromised by pol^ticization.
M'Bow was visited by an academic group headed by Prof. Kenneth Arrow, a Nobel Laureate jn economics and Professor of economics at Harvard University.
Arrow told a press conference after their two-hour meeting with the UNESCO chief that they were impressed with M'Bow's commitment "to the universality of UNESCO."'
He said that M'Bow was confident that the next general conference of UNESCO, to be held next year, would accept the recommendation made recently by its executive board, to rescind the resolution barring Israel from the agency's European regional grouping.
But the director general was less optimistic about the prospects that UNESCO would lift its censure of Israel for its arch-
aeological excavations in Jerusalem that allegedly altered the character of that city. Arrow said. , M'Bow later received a delegation of artists and writeirs, headed by playwright Arthur Miller, which included author James Michener; actress Shelley Winters; the Black civil rights activist Bayard Rustin; jazz musician Lionel Hampton; and composer Cy Coleman.

Working ceaselessly among his colleagues, Yates personally canvassed members in their offices and in the Capitol itself to tell them the meaning of the U.N. action. "He literally did it alone," an observer noted.
"He probably can get five or ten more sponsors but many of the 34 not yet on the list are ill at home, in hospitals or away on business in their districts or abroad."
