At the Arab League meeting in Cairo the Lebanese government rejected a Palestinian request for 20 million dollars in weapons to defend refugee camps in Lebanon. Premier Takieddin Solh said any defense must be outside camps under Lebanese army control. Beirut reports say Lebanon counters with a 1 billion dollar armament plan.
