GENEVA, June t. Soviet
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
returned to the Far Eastern con-
ference today after a sudden
two-day trip back to Moscow for
consultations.
Three transport planes re-
turned Mr.. Molotov and his
party from the Soviet capital.
A bulletproof~ limousine whisked
the Russian diplomatic chief to
his villa Immediately after his
arrival.
Mr.. Molotov went nome un-
expectedly Sunday, telling sew
eral Of the Western delegation
chiefs he would return today.
Western observers agreed he
had'gone back to the Kremlin to
report to Soviet Premier Georgi
M. Malenkov and his associates
on the talks thus far and to dis
cuss the strategy the Soviets will
pursue in the future negotiations
on Indo-C China.
Debating Procedure.
These sources believe the Com
muniStS now are de b a tin g
whether to try to prolong the
negotiations for an Indo- China
armistice in order to produce a
duplicate of the two-year-long
Korean military talks at Pan
munjom, or whether to seek a
halt as soon as possible to the
fighting in the Far East.
Aside from Mr.. Molotov's re-
turn, the chief event anticipated
at the conference today was a
meeting Of French and Wet
Mimi representatives called to
arrange for the opening Of mill
tary discussions on armistice
terms later this week.
The nine-party conference on
Indo-C China was in recess for q
day after getting snarled yester-
day over Communist proposals
for a neutral" commission to
police any truce that may be
achieved. The conference debate
was scheduled to resume tomor-
row at another secret session.
The delegates utilized the re-
cess today for private confer
ence with their allies.
Eden to See Chou.
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden arranged to see Red
China'S Chou En-lai tonight in
an effort to find q compromise
on the crucial issue Of cease-fire
supervision.
Continuing in his role as me-
diator. Mr.. Eden invited the Chi
nese Communist Premier Foreign
Minister to dinner.
United States Undersecretary
of State Walter Bedell Smith
and French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault called on Mr..
Eden, apparently to discuss what
he would say to Mr.. Chou at
tonight's meeting.
The French-Viet Mini meet
ing today was called to work
out preliminary details of ne
gotiations-expected to begin
Thursday-on the question OF
zones in which the rival forces
would assemble if and when g
cease-f1re is affected.
In the subsequent. talks Col
Jules Fleurant is to represent
France and Ia Uang Buu, Wet
Mini vice minister Of defense.
will attend for the Reds.
New Difficulties Arise.
New difficulties over the cease
fire question arose yesterday
when the full Indo-C China con-
ference came to grips for the
first time with the problem of
policing an armistice.
The Communists proposed es-
tablishment of a Korea-type
police body-part Communist
the rest non-Red-for Indo-
China. The Soviet Union noml-
mated Communist Poland and
Czechoslovakia, along with In
dia and Pakistan. The West
quickly objected, charging that
the Korean Neutral Nations
Supervisory Commission had
failed to work because of vetoes
by its Communist members.
AS the deadlock on the Ko-
rean question continued, Gen
Smith and South Korean For
eign Minister Pyun Yung Tai
conferred today on the Vests
strategy in the stalled negotia-
tionS.
Informed sources said they
discussed the possibility of hold
ing secret sessions for final ef-
fort to break the deadlock over
rival Red and non-Communist
proposals for unif1cation Of the
peninsula.
