The Lie-Thorpe conference indicated Lie is interested in improving economic conditions in underdeveloped areas as well as smoothing out political problems between the United States and Russia.

The Lie-Acheson conference was somewhat of a surprise. The State Department had given no indication that Acheson would meet so quickly with the UN official. Acheson was expected to relay to Presdient Truman what he learns from Lie. Meanwhile, the fact that both Mr. Truman and Acheson paid tribute to the "success" of the London meetings of the Western powers has aroused speculation here that a break in the Cold War may be in the making.

Acheson will ask Congress at a special joint session this week for a $1,250,000,000 second installment on the arms aid program to help pact nations prepare against a possible Soviet attack. While neither the House nor Senate has started work on the program, some Congressional leaders saw an "excellent" chance that the proposal will be approved before adjournment in view of the West's economic and military achievements in the past year.
