JERUSALEM (JTA)- . Secretary of State William P. Rogers is expected here on May 7 or 8 at tte wind-up of his Middle East visit that will take him to four Arab capitals before te lands in Israd. While his visit is wdcomed, tte atmosidiere of cordiality may te severdy strained by the sharply divergent views that have developed in recent weeks between Washington and Jerusalem over an' interim arrattgement to reopen the Suez Canal and other mat¬ ters, tte Jewish Tdegraphic Agency learned. , Some quarters here scarcely conceal tteir resentment of the fact that Rogers selected Israd for the final stop on wtet is his first visit to the Middle East. The JTA learned, from very reliable sour^ today ttet Rogers' meeting with Deputy Premier Yiga| Allon in Washington a week ago was mailed by ; anything but mutual understanding, liie sources said reports received here from Washington described the meeting as "unpleasant.", Allen's remark when he emerged from it that "I am wiser now than when I came" was {called an un¬ derstatement. The sources said that Rogers was "very tough" and "virtuaUy told Allon off." He was quoted as
having siad, "I cannot un¬ derstand you Isradis. I am getting the unpression that you are doing all you can to frustrate an agrednent with Egypt:" According to the source, Rogers expressed the opinion that the Soviet Union and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt were sin¬ cerely interested in preventing a renewal of
fighting. When Allon said that Israd's position served American intereits in tte region, Rogers reportedly replied sharply, "Please let us judge what America's test interests are just as Israd claims the right to decide what serves her own interests."
Rogers will encounter still anotter diplomatic problem
when te arrives here. He will teve. to "Oedde whether or not to receive a deputation of West Bank Arab notables. Tbe Israeli government has no objection but the Jor¬ danian goverameat does. If Rogers recdves the Arabs, King Hussein will feel hurt and if he doesn't te will offend the West Bank Arabs,
