Mr Dean promised to do his "best" to arrange the Korean political talks by December 1.
He held a last-minute conference with the Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, at the National Airport. Mr. Dulles arrived at the air- port from New York only a few minutes before Mr Dean and his staff took off.
Mr Dean, Mr Dulles' delegate to the Korean dis- cussions, will meet Chinese and North Korean Communist negotiators at Panmunjom on Monday. This meeting was called to arrange for the full-dress Korean peace con- ference.

Syrian, Iraqi Troops Rushed To Jordan
DEMONSTRATIONS IN AMMAN
Amman, Oct. 21.
Damascus Radio said today that Syrian and Iraqi troops had rushed into Jordan on the way to Jerusalem to reinforce the Arab Legion, as Jordan's Premier demanded that the Arab League back his country with troops to help fight Jewish “jungle law”.
Amman demonstrators stoned a United States centre for officers and offices of the British Council, reports from Beirut said. The reports added that little damage was done.
Jordan demanded formally that the Arab League fulfil for the first time
its security pact to help any member under attack.
