Eisenhower meets the talking and emphasizes his words with a clenched fist as he meets with President Truman at the White House. Eisenhower now home from his European defense command at Mr. Truman's suggestion.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Flow of Arms to Europe Will Increase, Says White House Flow of Arms to Europe Will Increase, Says White House WASHINGTON (UP)—New conferences by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in Europe and some inventory-taking by each of the Western European nations will be needed before the U.S. is ready to translate its broad assurance of a speed-up in arms aid into specific promises on tonnages and percentages. In his Washington talks with White House military and defense production officials, informed sources said today, Eisenhower was assured that the flow of arms to the Western European Forces would be increased. But he also was reported to have been told that he should hold an early meeting with W. Averell Harriman, head of the Mutual Security Agency, who left Washington for Paris late last week. Moreover, it was noted that defense production administrator Manly Fleischmann planned to start for Europe today to talk with defense chiefs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) nations in Paris and London. From the findings by Harriman and Fleischmann and the reports by Eisenhower, pieces of the problem can be fitted together—how much each NATO member has now in way of military equipment, how much more it can produce and how fast. Only then can the U.S. be in a position to make specific promises on tonnages and delivery timetables to help get up to 30 divisions fully armed as quickly as possible. Eisenhower's departure coincided with expressions from official quarters that greater production effort is needed. President Truman spoke of "much trouble." Anna Rosenberg, assistant secretary of defense, told reporters: Reds Cook Up New Proposal In Korea War MUNSAN, Korea (UP)—Red truce negotiators submitted a new buffer zone counterproposal today strikingly similar to the Allied plan—but with crucial differences. United Nations representatives turned it down. But they said they might talk about it in tomorrow's sessions at Panmunjom. Under the red plan a buffer zone would be created now along the existing front. If subsequent fighting changed the front lines materially, either side could propose a change in the military demarcation line for the zone. But there was no guarantee the other must agree to the changes. "No adjustments could be made in the demarcation line as the communists obviously would not agree," said Maj. Gen. Henry L. Hodes, head of the U.N.subcommittee. "It would be a De Facto ceasar fire. It's the same thing they have brought up for three days." SA’s ‘Meanest Man’ Robs Couple Candidate for “runner-up,” if not meanest man, was reported to Santa Ana police last evening by Edwin Bennett, prospective bridegroom who, with his intended wife, Elizabeth Brooks, was tidying up the new home he had just purchased at 1107 N.

Tired but happy, they left the This will mark the major thus far of the sixth Assay session which opened day with a call from President Vincent Auriol a Truman-Stalin-Churchill ing in Paris. The handling of the Auriol proposal in the Soviet press suggestcool reception. The disses published in Moscow dioned the sincerity of Auriol's proposals.

What they found left them still tired, but not happy. What they didn't find, rather. Somebody had visited the enclosed rear yard and carted off all their lawn furniture, worth $50. An idea for anyone wishing to send a wedding present. Martinez Files Suit For Injury Damages Henry Garcia Martinez, injured last Oct. 21 when struck by an automobile while walking across Center st., in Anaheim, today had filed suit in superior court for $35,000 damages against Charles E.
