MEETING IN PARIS TODAY

PARIS (CP)-Lord Ismay, sec- retary-general of the North Atlan- tic Treaty Organization, Thursday night warned against expecting any "spectacular or concrete results" from the meeting of NATO foreign ministers which opens today.

At the same time. he denied at I press conference that he has ten- dered his resignation as head of the 15-country alliance despite pub- lished reports that Canada's Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Pearson will succeed hlrn to the post. Nevertheless, the natut-e' of the denial tended to suggest that when Ismay does retire-probably next

"year--Pearson is the man likely to

succeed him.
