"7 S (Sac 1 Stertsman, Salam. Or., Mon.. April 26. 1954 Geneva Powers Talks Open Today; Split on Red China By MAX HARRELSON GENEVA, Switzerland i The j Far Eastern conference opens ! here Monday faced by a wider open split between Russia and the Western powers over the role of Red China. The United States was reported by authoritative sources to be ex tremely pessimistic over the out come. The Big Three Western foreign ministers were understood to be prepared to pull out within a week or 10 days, leaving behind their deputies to carry on. The conference opens as French Union forces in Indochina are gravely pressed at Dien Bien Phu. France wa reported to have asked for military aid, which the United States considered might go beyond the help that can be given without involving the United States in war. This has been refused. New Russian Note A new Russian note insisted. Informed sources said, that Red China must have the status of a Big Five power when the con ference discusses Korea and In dochina. One informant said U.S. Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles would "walk out of the con ference" if the Russians continue to maintain this stand. Sunday's Soviet note responded to a West em declaration that Red China was not one of the inviting powers for the conference and thus did not have equal status with Britain. France. Russia, and the United States. The United States is reported so firmly opposed to any sort of recognition of Red China that it is willing to break up the confer ence rather than give the Peiping regime equal status. Informed sources, who did not wish to be identified, would not confirm or deny a published re port that France requested and was refused direct intervention in Indochina by U S. planes manned hv Americans. One hiehlv Dlaced source said, however, that one or more re- kkmk had been made that were in the twilieht lone as far as th niHnt authority under the constitution were concerned. These requests were turned down This source said the United States had given just about all aid possible, short of actual intervention in the war. The United States views on some of the major issues were reported to be something like this: 1. The United States will follow France's lead on Indochina prob lems, at least in the procedural stages. These include whether the Indochinese question should be givea priority ver the Korean is sue and whether representatives of the Communist-backed Vietminh should be invited. On the latter issue it was understood France was still undecided but that Bao Dai. Viet Nami's chief of state, was understood to be strongly op posed to inviting the Vietminh. 2. The United States is generally pessimistic about the chances of the conference achieving any pos itive results. The feeling in high U. S. circles is that Russia already has vio lated the Big Four Berlin agree ment by tning to get Red China into the Far Eastern talks on an powers and that any new agree ment, in view of this, would be worth little. equal status with the other big 3. The military situation at Dien Bien Phu is extremely grave. The U.S. has taken no position on the Question of partionine In china, but feels at present the situation does not lend itself to partition readily because there are no firm, fixed lnnes as there were in Korea.
