Drew Pearson reports in Washington that Iran's Premier Amir Abbass Hoveyda, visiting the White House with Shah Pahlavi, could help form a moderates-led coalition including King Hussein of Jordan, King Hassan of Morocco, Presidents Bourguiba and Idris, and possibly King Faisal, to press peace with Israel as Egypt and Israel grow more volatile and Soviet influence rises.
