Mr. Stevenson said the big meal of the day, with three courses, was served at noon and that the evening meal was usually a cold meal.

The Eisenhower message was considerably more than an action of friendship, however, because in carefully constructed language it warned the French that so far as the United States is concerned time is running out for ratification of the proposed European Defence system in which Germany would take part. WANT l"Nlf ED DEFENCE The. message advised the French government, moreover, that while the United States remains deeply Interested in forming' a "united defence" against Communist forces in Indo-Chini it is reserving the right to judge what might be done under any future decision. "In Indo-China our nation hrw long shown its deep concern by heavy financial and material aid which continues," Eisenhower wrote. "The proposals for a united defence which we submitted to M.
