As a result, the Forum will be split into two evenings, tomorrow and Saturday. Jordan's Ambassador, Abdul Ri- fa'i refused to debate Arab-Israel differences with Ambassador Abba Eban. The Forum has now scheduled Ambassador Rifa'i to speak to- morrow night at Harvard's New Lecture Hall. Ambassador Eban will address the Forum on Satur- day evening at Ringe Tech Audi- torium in Cambridge. Confirming the report, a reliable source at the Harvard Law School Forum, added that the scope of the subject was, in itself, wide enough to warrant a two-night schedule. In addition to the two official views, (Arab and Israel) the Fo- rum will present the supposedly unbiased attitudes of an independ- ent nation, and the 'Christian pro- Zionist community. Stringfellow Barr, former presi- dent of St. John's College, and ac- tive in World Government Organ- ization, will be the pro-Israel speaker matched against Ambas- sador Rafa'i on Friday.
