Firm British Stand Is Forecast
If About Geneva Effort Fails
But Dulles Plan Is Being Resisted to See
That All Peaceful Means Are Tried

| There have also been hints that
fear of a French Sellout of
Western interests at the confer
ence table provided second
motive to his proposal.
British leaders are frankly
more worried about the effect
of such a declaration on local
public opinion than they are
hopeful of its influence on the
Communists. Basically these
leaders are no more optimistic
about the possibility of an Indo-
China settlement than we are.
But at the same time they are
determined that if the Geneva
conference is a failure it must
be made clear to everybody that
the Reds and not the allies were
to blame. For this reason they
turn down the idea of prejudging
results of negotiations by an
nouncing ahead of time what
we plan to do afterward.
Division Considered.
Beyond this the Foreign Office
seems less convinced than the
State Department that any set
tlement in Indo-China would
mean a Communist victory. The
idea of dividing the country be-
tween Communists and French
Union forces seems to get more
serious consideration here than
in Washington.
1t would be very wrong to con-
clude from this that the British
are caving in and that the United
States must henceforth go il
alone in Southeast Asia. There
are plenty of signs that British
public opinion on the war ir
Indo-China has developed very
fast in recent weeks. If the &C.
neva talks break down the
chances are excellent that Brit
ain will be prepared to take or
her share of whatever fighting
has to be done to stop Communist
aggression. But first, people, here
muest be convinced that every
thing possible was done to reach
a peaceful settlement.

7 Boys Held as
Spy Hostages
Georgescus' Father
Said Reds Tried to
Use Him as Agent

FRANKFURT, Germany, April
12.-Communist Romania today
freed the two young sons of
Valeriu c. Georgescu, a Ro-
manian- born American who had
refused to be blackmailed into
spying to win their release.
The father and sons were re-
united. misty-eyed, in West Ger
many.
It was the first time Mr..
Georgescu had seen the boys
since 1947, when he and his wife
left Bucharest on a two-month
visit to the United States.
LAS a representative of Ameri-
can capital Che was president of
the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey in Romania) they wouldn't
let me come back" he said, land
refused to let our sons join U.S."
The boys are Constantin, now
10, and Peter. IS, who smiled as
they talked with their father.
Mrs. Georgescu remained in New
| York.
Help by State Department.
Il hardly recognized them" Mr..
Georgescu said, they have grown
so much"
He said the boys were allowed
| to leave ROmania because of the
help of the State Department. He
said he would rather not divulge
details.
The State Department said
May 26 that Christache Zambeti.
First Secretary of the Romanian
Legation, tried to subyert Mr..
Georgeseu into spying for the
Communists.
THE price for this collabora-
tion," the State Department said,
was to be the welfare" of the
two sons.
But Mr.. GeorgeScu refused.
After Zambeti's visit Mr.. Georg-
escu reported the incident to the
State Department. which forced
the recall of the Romanian dip
lomat. Zambeti left, complain
ing he had been framed.
Fly From Vienna.
Mr.. GeorgeScu said here he did
not know until two weeks ago
that his sons would be permitted
to leave Romania. He few to
Munich, where he met them
earlier today when they arrived
by plane from Vienna.
Il haven't even had a chance
yet to talk to them MUCH" he
said, putting his arms around
the shoulders of the two boys,
both of whom are now taller
than he is.
Neither boy can speak Eng
lish.
A State Department spokes-
man in Washington said, in
answer to questions, no conces-
sions were given the Red Ro-
manian government to obtain
the boys freedom. All pleas, he
said, were based strictly on "hu-
manitarian grounds"
man said, in answer to ques-
tons. no concessions were given
the Red Romanian government
to obtain the boys freedom. All
pleas, he said, were based strict
ly on humanitarian grounds"
The American Minister, Har-
old Shantz, made clear in all his
approaches. he said, the personal
interest of President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles
in the case.
The department spokesman
limited that Gen. Eisenhower
may have sent a personal mes
sage in an effort to win free
dom for the boys. Asked di-
rectly about this possibility, he
said:
Il can't answer that"

tended to head off Communist
seizure of Indo-China.
Informants said Mr.. Dulles
told British Foreign Secretary
Philippines Split on Supporting U. S. in
Worning to Reds. Poge At
Anthony Eden the Western allies
must show a united front on
Asian affairs at the Geneva con-
ference and bargain from
strength. Both Indo-China and
Korea are up for negotiation at
Geneva beginning April &c. So
Wet Russia and Red China will
be sitting in.
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Eden. who
met at the British Foreign Of
flee, appeared to be searching
for a compromise on the timing
of the Washington proposal for
a warning to Red China to keep
hands off Southeast Asia. Paris
and London want to postpone
any gesture which could be in
terpreted as Strong-arm move,
fearing it would narrow the al
ready slim chances of negotiat-
ing an Indo-China settlement at
Geneva.
Flies to France Tomorrow.
Mr.. Dulles is striving to get
British backing for a pre-Gen-
eva declaration before he flies to
Paris tomorrow to try to per-
suade the even more reluctant
French.
Official sources said Mr.. Dulles
feels a common declaration right
now will help the French to
maintain a firm position at Gen.
eva against any compromise that
might eventually lose Indo- China
to the Reds.
The French and British are
ready to join in warning the
Peiping regime against agrees
sion in 1ndo-China and to help
sponsor a new Southeast Asia
defense organi2ation-but only
if the Communists spurn a ne
gotiated settlement at Geneva.
Attitude of Press.
Across the English Channel the
French press manifested a little
less uneasiness today than pre-
Vlously over the Dulles proposals.
The independent Paris news
paper LIE Figaro said, I'VE should
not refuse to join in a common
declaration provided it does not
take the form of an ultimatum. u
The Socialist LIE Populaire,
evidently referring to a state
ment by Senator Knowland. Re-
publican. of California that the
United States could delay finan-
cial aid to nations which did
not follow Mr.. Dulles proposals,
said:
The menacing gestures of
certain particularly influential
American politicians makes a
conversation between govern
ments indispensable. To speak
OF repriSals of such and such
a nature between allies shows
a lack of mutual friendship. A
good mutual understanding can
not exist if one ally tries to i'm
pose its views on another. M.
Dulles appears to understand
this. At least his trip to Europe
indicates this"
The rightist Paris newspaper
Aurore said a lasting settlement
in Indo-China would REQUIRE
the re-entry of China, whatever
It's regime, into the world eco
nomic circuit" The journal
urged that every effort be made
at Geneva to settle the Indo-
China war.
