The foreign ministers met at 11 a. m, amid indications’ that gvery effort was being made to. iron out troubles arising from differences between Russia and the western allies on the Balkan situation, The British Press association said responsible quarters showed tendency to minimize the seriousness of the position” and that the main object of today's meeting was to get the “wheels of the conference running again” Those close to the conferees be-

QUOTES ROOSEVELT ON PEARL HARBOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 24 (U. P.) — Edward R. Murrow, Columbia broadcasting system's European director, believes the late President Roosevelt was surprised by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Murrow, on leave in the United States, said tn a broadcast yesterday that he visited Mr. Roosevelt the night of Dec. T after the President had met with his advisers
