INDIA'S proposals for breaking the Korean truce deadlock constitute an ingenious attempt to recon-- cile the widely divergent American and Russian view. points, and while they have been received with consider. able reserve by both sides, it is a matter for satisfaction that readiness to give them full and careful study has been expressed, American renetion has been quick and somewhat

Washington, Nov. 18.
President-elect Dwight Eisenhower and Pre- sident Truman said after a 65-minute White House mecting today that they had arranged for co- operation "of great value to the stability of our country and to the favourable progress of inter- national affairs.”

"Under BUT constitution, the President must exercise his function until he leaves office," the joint statement said, “and his auccessor cannot be asked to share or assume responsibilities of the Presidency until he takes office."
