United Nations Is serious part of the world and needs to be treated seriously.

The delegate el&o were busy paving the way lor the Indochina phase of the conference, made urgent by the worsening plight of French Union forces at Olen Blen Phu. With Hie Indochina talks prob ably gelling underway Friday, both I a a u e a will be discussed aliuuliancously for awhile.

The U.N. allies already have re jected Communist-style elections proposed by North Korea.

No high-level conversations be tween East and West have been held on the form of an eventual Indochlnese settlement, they said. Hut an Impression of the Red posi tion was obtained through other contacts. Tills estlmsto of the Communist plsns came In a two-day recess of Iho plenary meetings of the Ko rean conference. Western diplomats were re. ported ready to break off the Ko rean phase of the conlerence once they are aure the Communists will not modify their opposition to uni fying election supervised by the United Nations. A recesa until Fri day gives the delegates a chance to bold private consultations and clarity their positions.

A Western Informant aald the Communist line on Indochina at the outset of the conference Spud Market Agency Named The pacific National Advertising Agency, Portland, ha been se lected to handle the advertising and market research program for the Klamath- Deschutes potato growers.

The Tulelake-Butle Valley po tato growing districts are current ly In the process of organizing Northern Callfnrnla marketing order and ahould this order be voted In by those districts, they will become part of the Klam ath Deschutes marketing pro gram to be served by the Pacific Agency. .A uvnoivufk v - YaY. seemed to be: "Why can't there be a settlement like the armistice In Kores?" This Indicated the Com munist wanted to partition Indo china at least Viet Nam and per haps It sinter ststea, Cambodia and Laos. Now, the Informant aald, they aeem to favor a political rather than a territorial settlement. Meanwhile, It waa learned .on good authority that President El senhower sent a letter to Secre tary of State Dulles here last weekend aaylng he was disturbed over European press Interpreta tion of one of his news conlerence statements last Thursday. The president expressed hop at Uist time that some kind of "mo dus Vivendi" for Indochina could be worked out at Geneva. The In terpretation of many European papera was 'that he had failed to support Dulles' policy of toughness snd hsd weakened the French po sition. The President we understood to have staled that this was not the case at all. Copies of bis letter were given to French Foreign Minister Oeorges Bldault and Brit ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The only East - West contact planned for the day apparently waa meeting between Eden and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov. Molotov and his top aide were Invited to dinner by Eden.

The President made his declara tion In answer to questions at a news conference. He also issued a formal statement expressing opti mism that the united front move ment will show progress. In answer to a question whether he thought the Geneva conference on Aslsn peace problems had been major defeat for American poli cy, Elsenhower replied crisply that no one can count battle lost while It la still going on. Dulles returned from Geneva Tuesday night and reported to El senhower Just before the news conference, an his efforts there to find pesce for Asia and a way to save Indochina from Communist conquest. The secretary himself told newsmen a he left the Presi dent's office that he does not know of any basis for the Idea that he suffered a diplomatic defeat at Oeneva.
