UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. Dec.
16.-The United Nations General

cal item today as the 1854 session
rapidly neared a close.
The Assembly'S 60-nation Po-
litical Committee turned to the
question of Tunisian self deter

bate would be brief. Arab diplo-

rate.
U. N. officials said If T,lnisia is
cleaned up today. the Assembly
might wind up its business to-
night-or tomorrow at the latest.

extended the target one week
when it became apparent the case

timetable.
