HIGHTOWEB WASHINGTON ,( The Western Powers were confronted touay with the prospect of Intensified war In Indochina as the conflict In Korea slacks off toward a probable armi stice. . This fact stood out as foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France neared conclu sion of Washlnirton talks. Final discussion and firm decisions, If any, were still to be made on such diverse issues as Soviet 'policy, possible Big Three and Big Four conferences and Far Eastern prob lems. . . " . The three were scheduled to re sume full sessions this morning. The closing meetings will be held tomorrow. . More two-way talks between the United Stales and France and the United States and Britain are also set for today and tomorrow. ' i - At one such meeting at the home of Secretary of State Dulles yes terday, French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault told Dulles there has been a sharp .increase in the amount of supplies being received by Communist forces In Indochina from Red China, beginning About three months ago. U. S. officials noted that this timing roughly coincided with re sumption of serious efforts for a truce in Korea. At the same time, Bidault laid before Dulles, with obvious hope of increased American assistance, a plan just developed by the French commander, Oen. Henri Navarre, for going on the offensive against the Communists In Indochina. Dulles, . according to officials present at the conference, ex pressed great satisfaction at the aggressive attitude displayed in the Navarre plan. Informants had the impression tnai u tne French carry It out they may expect favorable American consideration of requests for more dollar aid. Officials reported , that Bidault did not link the stepup In the flow of Communist supplies to the immi nent possibility of peace In Korea. But Dulles made two points about the American attitude toward the connection between Korea and Indochina. He reiterated a Joint American French statement of last spring asserting that if .the Reds look advantage of a cease-fire In Korea for aggressive action In Indochina, Tentative Deer Rules Outlined PORTLAND lift The State Game Commission has tentatively . set Oct. 3 lor opening of the deer hunting season. , The tentative regulations, which come before the commission again July 24, call for the season to run to Oct. 16 and be followed'- by a' four-day hunters-choice season for bucks or does. ; All of Eastern Oregon east of Highway 97 except for an area surrounding the Deschutes Game Refuge would be opened during the four-day season.
