Neither of them dropped so much as a hint of what they discussed at their private, face-to-face meeting. However, the President frequently | gives himself away by his moods. When he is pleased by the shaping | of events, he is jovial, relaxed, in- formal. When he is displeased, Tru- man is somber, quiet, down-to-busi- ness. At this conference, Truman was definitely down-to-business.

Mid-East Command To Be Set Up by Big 3 and Turkey PARIS, Nov. 10 — (®# — The Big Three and Turkey joined in a four-| power declaration today that they would set up an Allied Middle East Command, despite Arab objections. The statement said the U.S., Brit- ain, France and Turkey had decided | to go ahead with the Mideast Allied Defense organization because “de- fense of the middle east is vital to the free world and its defense against outside aggression can be secured only by cooperation of all interested states.” Some Arab states have said they are unwilling to join any allied defense setup in the mideast, and have insisted that the Arab bloc of states themselves could provide adequate defenses for that area agdinst / possible Communist ag- gression. Seven delegations from Arab states to the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly called a meeting to- day to consider the defense role of the middle east. It was a closed meeting and there was no indica- tion that an announcement would -| be made. { \ 1 !

Allied raiding parties met stub- born Red resistance Saturday as they stormed Communist positicns along the western front. The Reds used small arms, automatic weapons, mortars and hand grenades against the UN troops. After the raiding parties return- ed to their own lines United Na- tions artillery pounded the Reds.
