28 (JP) King Saud of Saudi Arabia informed President Shukri Ku-watly of Syria today he is withdrawing an offer to mediate the Turkish-Syrian border crisis. A government spokesman said the message was delivered orally by Saudi Arabian Ambassador Shiekh Abdul Aziz ben Zeid. Mecca radio last Sunday broadcast King Saud's offer to mediate and said both countries had accepted. It later developed, however, that while Turkey was ready to submit to Saudi Ara-. bian mediation, Syria was not.

The Syrians said they preferred a United Nations investigation of the border crisis.

It appeared the offer was threatening to drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and the Syrian-Egyptian axis.

A statement issued by Eisenhower and Macmillan yesterday at the conclusion of three days of talks here contained a hint that the council meeting might be converted into a summit session one attended by heads of government. The NATO Council meeting normally would bring together the foreign ministers of the 15 member nations.

Plans Incomplete Plans for a summit meeting still were being formulated, but it seemed obvious that it would be diplomatically difficult for (Eisenhower to consult with per-' sons of lower rank foreign i ministers or ambassadors. And it seemed equally obvious that the heads of government of the other NATO members 'would welcome any plans they have for revision of Allied defense systems to meet the Soviet move for military supremacy. In their Joint statement the i U.S. and British leaders sounded a call for action to reinforce allies all over the world "with the deterrent and retaliatory power of nuclear weapons." The words were contained in a "declaration of common purposes" issued at the end of their strategy talks. Eisenhower last visited Europe in 1955.

He went to Geneva then for a summit conference with, the premiers of Britain, Russia and France. British newspapers predicted that he would stop on any European trip in December, to visit Queen Elizabeth II in London. On her visit at the White House last week, the Queen was reported to have sounded out Eisenhower on the possibility of a trip to England. Hopes Chiefs to Attend Highly qualified diplomatic sources said Eisenhower hoped ItliP chiefs of government of all NATO members would be present.
