Arabs Told Palestine Truce Is Hopeless Says UN Source
UN source says four Arab governments were told their military position in Palestine is hopeless and should seek peace. Brig. Gen. Riley told Syrian Egyptian Lebanese and Iraqi representatives that the July truce is dead and Israel controls most of Palestine. The talks followed Cairo reports of a separate peace suggestion by King Abdullah and discussed extending the withdrawal call to all Palestine amid Israeli advances in the Negev, Galilee and Lebanon.

Chinese Reds Apparently Unchecked In Manchuria
In Nanking on November 6 a government claim of a modest victory in central China was offset by rumors of peace talks with the Communists. Three Communist columns roughly 45,000 strong were said to be defeated in southern Shantung near Suchow, while reports placed others bypassing Suchow toward Pengpu. Yingkow, a southern Manchurian port, was abandoned after a costly Communist defense, and officials dismissed rumors of any peace deal as unfounded. Chiang Kai-shek and his lieutenants held day and night talks on China's future, with Gen Fu TsoYi returning to Peiping and Gen Pai Chung-Hsi offered defense posts and declining them.
