By the Associated Press

RHODES, Jan. 22-Acting
United Nations Mediator Ralph
C. Bunche called in the heads of
the Egyptian and Israeli delega-
tions last night for a showdown
in armiStice talks.
DR.. Bunche's action indicated a
decisive break in the conference
may be expected soon. The ses-
sion is regarded as the final step
in armistice negotiations which
have been snagged in boundary
dispute.
The session began at II pm. a
pm, EST. DR.. Bunche and Brig.
Gen. William E. Riley, chief U. N
observer who sits in on all talks,
indicated they planned to keep the
meeting going all night If necessary
to reach an agreement.
Final Decision Seen Near.
DR.. Bunche indicated to newsmen
that both sides, who have been in
almost continual conference the
past two days, had about run out
of arguments ana that some final
decision either of agreement or
complete breakup of the talks may
be expected shortly.
The conference began here jan
uary 13.
/ 1t was learned unofncially that
the Jews were holding out for con-
troll of Beersheba. an Arab town in
the Negeb awarded to the Arabs by
the original U. N. partition plan OF
1e47, but which the Israelis occu-
pied in October. They also demand
control of the main inland highway
system of the Negeb.

day. They were escorted aboard the

flcers, whose prisoners they had
been since the incident in which five
RAF planes were shot down.
Jewish military experts worked
until 4 am Yesterday in an effort
to reach a solution to the Beersheba
deadlock. it was reported.
The Jews are reluctant to give up
their hold on the city, which con-
trolls the road north to Jerusalem
west to GAIA and south to the Egyp-
tian border.
This is the main inner highway
running north and south in the
Negeb. The only comparable high
way Is the coastal road through
GAIA. Both the Jews and Egyptians
would like control over both high
ways for strategic reasons.
Possible Solution.
One solution whichmay be offered
is for the Jews to retain the inner
communication line through Beer
sheba, while the Arabs hold the
coastal road through GAIA.

ported working on an Egyptian
