The talks will open in round robin fashion with the U.N. ambassadors of Egypt and Israel and the Washington ambassador of Jordan ascending in turn to Jarring's sparsely furnished office.

Jarring announced the start of the potentially historic bargaining round with cautiously optimistic phrases. He said publicly he hoped "we have found a solution before the end of 90 days" the duration of the American arranged cease fire.

They said that while the U.S. had hoped for ultimately a longer cease fire when it proposed the three month truce last June 19, the agreement to begin negotiations at the United Nations Tuesday opens the way for new attempts for a longer truce. Officials said that the delicate peace making mission of Ambassador Jarring, would be made more difficult if he had to carry it out under an inflexible deadline.

Arafat will be cautioned against taking any action that could upset tne peace enort. aucn actions would include an increase in guerrilla military activity that would draw severe Israeli repris als in Lebanon and Jordan, and precipitating an incident that could spark a confrontation with the Jordanian army.

It is expected that the next grand jury will be handed the reports on the case because it isn't felt that the present investigation can be completed inside of two weeks.

So far, however, the investigation has been moving along rapidly. In only three days investigators of the San Antonio Police Department, Department of Public Safety intelligence bureau and district attorney's office have obtained seven notarized statements. There also has been obtained, from one man who has signed a sworn statement admitting participation in schemes of fraud, a cashier's check to the grand jury for $1512.07 and a 1970 automobile. The check representsa bank account of "fraudulently" obtained funds, and the car was purchased with such money, according to investigators. The investigators could not explain the turning oyer of the money and auto to the grand jury.
