Troops Pouring REDS' ARMISTICE PROPOSAL

Into Teheran

DISTURBANCES EXPECTED

From ARTHUR COOK

Teheran, Nov. 6.

Troops are flooding into Teheran. One thousand soldiers of the existing Teheran garrison have been switched as reinforcements to the police. The Police Chief announces that serious disturbances are expected in the next few days.

All this is believed to be to convince America and Britain that if they do not come to an agreement with Mossadegh, the Communist Tudeh Party is about to take over Perain.

Becomes A Battle

the opinions of anonymous yet in Washington and London are intended to be taken at face value, then it would appear that the sixth United Nations General Assembly, opening in Paris today, is going to achieve nothing that can be considered useful. One news agency has described the impending session as a "battle for peace," imply- ing, not a determination on the part of all UN members to find a generally acceptable formula for guaranteeing world peace and security, but a fight between two opposing factions - the Western democracies and the Soviet- controlled Communist countries -- to obtain majority approval of their If the respective plans for peace. harassed people of the world need any further disillusionment it must surely be provided by the proposition of a polemical war in the name of place. We have yet to know what President Truman and Generalissimo Stalin have to say on the subject, although the pundits have already made up their

minds that their approach to the same subject will be poles apart, and that each, in turn, will set the keynote for their respective mouthpieces at the Paris conferences, Political speculators In Washington, London and Paris have made a pre-emptive bid in forecasting the proposals to be made by the Big Threo, The United States le giyen credit, for the plan and assurances are gion that it will receive unqualified kupport from Britain and France.

weapons, notably atomic weapons; United Nations in- spection of Iron Curtain territories. All of which is reasonable and little of it new. In the background, but losing nothing in importance, is the desire of the Western nations to bring the Korea war to an end, supported by a peace pact that will be as lasting as it is honourable. Pointedly, how- ever, "official circles" are already eon- vinced that the American plan will be rejected out of hand by Russia and her satellites, and that the Soviets wi" counter with another proposition based on the old theme that the nations should disarm without UN supervision and that the United States share all her atomic secrets with the rest of the world. This, seemingly, is the setting for the sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly, and it bodes little in the interests of world peace. Both sides are determined on pursuing what is known as a peace offensivė, but it remains to be seen whether either or both are prepared to dovetail their ideas and work out an arrangement that can, in fact, give the universe much-needed new fidence in the prospects of enduring pence. The more likely outcome is that when all the sound and fury has abated, Eastern Europe and the Wes- tern democracles will be farther apart than ever, and to such a degree that

A TRICK

Ignores Exchange Of Prisoners

Munsan, Korea, Nov. 7.

The United Nations Command today (Wednesday) refused to consider what it regarded as a trick Communist proposal to call off the fighting in Korea immediately without providing for the exchange of prisoners or supervision of an armistice.

Growing doubt and suspicion marked the con- tinued deadlock over where to draw a cease-fire line across the embattled peninsula.

There was considerable doubt among observers that any speedy settlement could be reached.

Nevertheless, Allied and Red sub-committees scheduled their 36th meeting for 11 a.m. today at Pan
