S. Undersecretary of Stata Wat ter Bedell Smith, French sources said hla sole purpose in coming back waa to try to prevent a breakup of the conference. - Meanwhile, at . the - Indochina meeting. Red China's Chou En-Lai made a long speech which a French source described as a "step for ward." But members of the Laos and Cambodian delegations said uie speech appeared to be "sugar- ana-noney;r without any- real change of position. . 1 cnou urged continuance of the Indochina talks. Britain and the United States were reported to be studying the possibilities ot setting up a stand by group to remain in Geneva dur ing tne proposed suspension or recess. PARLEY RECESS ' ' ' An authoritative source said some sort of a recess in the nine power parley probably will be agreed on before Uie end of the week, but that there Is no thought now of a complete break oft of the tancs. France reportedly Is opposed- to any outright adjournment of the negotiations with the Communists, at least until after a new govern ment has been set up In Paris and tne .National Assembly has had a chance to review the Indochina situation. The United States and Britain were understood to be In agree ment that France should not be -deserted. They also feel the mili tary talks here between the Viet mlah and the French must con tinue. . -Smith and Eden also saw Jean Chauvel, French ambassador . to Switzerland, on the situation Qua morning. Eden planned to meet later today with Communist China's Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En-laL ' STAND-BY GROUT' ' ' ! One plan reportedly being 'con sidered by the West would nave each of the nine delegatlona leave in Geneva responsthle-but not tup-level representatives to serve as a stand-by group. This would permit etuck resump tion of the full conference should developments warrant It. A high Western source said the French-Vie tminh military talks had made very little progress so far on their task of defining cease-lire lines. He said, however, they had exchanged maps giving their Initial ideas of where the two rival forces should be assembled. -" ' - This source said that - In the Initial exchange -both sides "claimed everything." He acknowl edged that this, wss usual in the first stages of bargaining, but that In this case events In Indochina might be the deciding factor, r The United States was reported still firmly opposed to any move to divide Indochina into two sones. The feeling In U.S. circles. Is that this would mean permanent parti tion of Indochina. The United States and France were understood to be pressing for a series of 'goose egg" areas where the troops would be assembled after an armistice. , -- ' .- 5 The Indochina psrley appeared as hopelessly deadlocked as the Korean phase of Uie Geneva talks, which ended last night after seven fruiUess weeks. ' British Foreign Secretary Eden told delegates Monday he felt the talks should be suspended unless the Communists made drastlo changes In their position. It appeared certain Uiat neither Eden nor U.S. Under Secretary of State Walter Bedell Smith Intends to remain in Geneva after this week. -. . Talk Fought
