A. Title Summit Parley Within U. N. Certain As Khrush Accepts WASHINGTON An historic summit conference in the U. N.

Security Council seemed almost certain today, but U. S. officials said several problems still must be ironed out before final agreement can be achieved. Iraq Regime To Negotiate With Nasser Aim To Unite In All Fields With Arab Republic CAIRO, Egypt high official of Iraq's revolutionary regime said today his government is preparing negotiations for a union with President Nassers United Arab Republic. Iraqi Deputy Premier Abdel Salam Aref told a Cairo newspaper U.A.R.-Iraqi committees are being formed to discuss military, political, economic and educational matters with the aim of uniting similar institutions in all these fields.

Non-Arab Aref and Nasser signed a mutual defense treaty in Damascus July 19 but there were reports then that the Iraqi rebels had no intention of uniting with U.A.R. Aref told the weekly newspaper Sabah Elkheir he is looking forward to the day when all Arab countries will join.

But Paris dispatches said it was unlikely that De Gaulle would attend. While favoring a summit meeting in principle, he has publicly announced his opposition to such a meeting at the U.N. at this time on the ground that it would be a propaganda battle royal. The question raised by his attitude is this: If De Gaulle flatly refuses, as French diplomats predict he will, will Khrushchev come anyway? 2. Khrushchev said that invitations to participate must go to U.
