Arab policy session finds little accord NO SOLUTIONS- KHARTOUM, The Sudan (AP) Continuing disputes among Arab leaders on policy toward Israel and the West In the wake of the June war promise rough going for the Arab summit conference opening to day In Khartoum. "We have settled nothing," said one delegate to the foreign ministers' preliminary conference Sunday night. "We are still divided on several major issues and it is too much to hope that the summit will be plain sailing," The purpose of the summit is to forge a common policy "to erase the consequences of Israeli aggression." Some moderate and militant leaders have refused to attend but sent representatives. 'All 13 Arab nations are to be represented. The leading Arab dove, President Hablb Bourguiba of Tunisia, decided not to come, as did King Idrls of Libya and King Hassan of Morocco.

Bourguiba has advocated that Egypt, Jordan and Syria, Widows ask half million in damages The widows of two Houston men who died after a Surfside Road wreck are seeking damages of almost a half million dollars from two Brazos- porters, Mrs. Howard Hart is suing Larry Robinson of Surfside and Johnnie Ray Richards of Freeport Mrs. Paul Chesshlr is asking $280, 000 damages from the two men. Hart, 43, and Chesshlr, 23, died after a three-car wreck on April 8, They were in a car which was struck from the front by a car driven by Robinson, and their car was also struck from the rear by an auto Richards was driving, the suit alleges, Other plaintiffs in the Hart damage suit are her children and Hart's parents, Mrs, Chesshir'ssonandher late husband's parents are also plaintiffs in her suit, the losers In the war, negotiate with Israel. Bourguiba's representative also is expected to urge improving Arab relations with the United States, Britain and West Germany, accused by the militants of aiding Israel In the war.

The two leading militants, Presidents Houari Bourne dienne of Algeria and Nour- eddln Atassl of Syria, were also staying home. They feared the moderates would set the policy at the summit. Boumedienne ana Atassl are the chief exponents of a military "second round" against Israel, to be carried on by guerrillas. Much debate is also expected on whether to continue the Arab embargo on oil shipments to the United States, Britain and West Germany. Meanwhile, the Soviet government announced that its ambassador to Cairo, Dimitri P.

Pozhidayev, has been transferred to an unspecified post and replaced by Sergei A. Vinoeradov, 60, a top Soviet diplomat. Presumably Pozhidayev was relieved because the Soviet government was taken so by surprise by the debacle the Soviet-equipped Egyptian forces suffered in the war. ,664.07 Air Amef. Nat'l Ins.
