Stalin Informs Roosevelt That night Stalin informed the president that the Russians had found evidence of a German Plot to destroy the leaders and plead edthe president used that word r-with the chief executive to move at once to the safer confines of the Russian embassy. The -Soviet quarters were re garded as the safest plaee In Teh- 5n because they were situated a walled compound. The Brit- sh diplomatic establishment was next door and all Churchill had to do to join Stalin was to step tnrougn an opening in the wall. The president accepted Stalin's invitation next morning, spending spend-ing only one night at the Ameri can legation. He remained there until the end of his four-day visit in Tehran, safe behind the staunch walls of the Russian compound. Because the three principals all were virxuauy Hvuig together, there was no need to expose them to possible success of the German Ger-man spies by riding through the streets. Mr. Roosevelt's disclosure of the plot expiaiined to a great extent ex-tent the elaborate security precautions pre-cautions taken by the Russians during the talks. Even servants who came in comparatively close contact with the principals were chosen from the membership of the highly efficient Russian secret police. Streets leading to the compound were blocked some distance dis-tance away by huge sheets of canvas which cut off all view. Behind the canvas waited canno Yanlcs Repulse Jap Air Attack U. s.
