Free Trade Unionists Meet In London

London, Nov. 27.—Mr William Green, Presi- dent of the American Federation of Labour, said here today he believed that a “sound and strong in- ternational of free democratic trade unions” would be set up by the delegates from the 55 nations who meet in London tomorrow,

The international meeting, to be attended by nearly 300 trade union leaders representing almost 50,000,000 workers, has been called to establish a new international organisation following the breakaway from the World Federation of Trade Unions.

Rome Likely To Be FAO Headquarters

Washington, Nov. 27- Rome appeared tonight to be the most likely choice for the permanent headquarters of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisa- tion as the delegates to the| fifth annual meeting pre- pared to discuss the issue at tomorrow's plenary session.

Observers estimated the odds in favour of Rome as being fiva to four. A combination of factors -Italy's soft currency, the ab- sence of any need for capital outlay by the FAO for the sc quisition of a site in Rome, and the elly's cultural associations give the ancient capital, it is belleved, n distinct advantage

over all other contenders.
