Asked afterwards about re-

Asked if he fully supported

Gen. Eisenhower said that as far

West Hears Hints
Reds May Try 10 GET
Indo-China Coalition
BY the Associated Press

GENEVA, May 5.-Western
sources said today they have re-
ceived information indicating the
Communists may favor the crea-
ton Of coalition rule in Indo-
China rather than partition.
No high-level conversations
between East and West have
been held on the form of an
eventual Indo-C Chinese settle
ment, they said, but an i'm
preston of the Red position was
obtained through other contacts.
There is a two-day recess Of
the plenary meetings of the Ko-
rean conference.
Western diplomats were re-
ported ready to break off the
Korean phase of the conference
once they are sure the Com
muniSts will not modify their
opposition to unifying elections
supervised by the United Ma
tionS. A recess until Friday gives
the delegates a chance to hold
private consultations and clarity
their positions.
A Western informant said the
Communist line on Indo- China
at the outset of the conference
seemed to be: why can't there
be a settlement like the armi-
Stice in Korea?" This indicated
the Communists wanted to par
tition Indo-China-at least Wet
Nam and perhaps it's sister
states. Cambodia and Laos.
Now, the informant said, they
seem to favor a political rather
than a territorial settlement.
Meanwhile, it was learned on
good authority that President
Eisenhower sent a letter to Sec
retary of State Dulles here last
week end saying he was dis
turbed over European press in
depreciation of one of his news
conference statements last
Thursday.
The President expressed hope
at That time that some kind of
"modus vivendi" for Indo-C China
could be worked out at Geneva.
The Interpretation of many Eu-
ropean papers was that he failed
to support Mr.. Dulles policy of
toughness and had weakened
the French position.
The President was understood
to have stated that this was not
the case at all. Copies of his
letter were given to French For
eign Minister Bidault and Brit
tsh Foreign Secretary Eden.

The President said that be-

the Geneva conference, he
wanted to conf1ne his remarks to
his prepared statement. which
included: es ~
plans are proceeding for the
realization OF. a Southeast Asia
security arrangement. This was
publicly suggested by Secretary
Duties in his address of
March 2s.
"Of course. our principal al
lies were advised in advance.
This proposal of the Secretary
of State was not a new one; it
was merely re-affirmation of the
principles that had consistently
guided our postwar foreign pol

Asian friends that the United
States was prepared to join with
others in the application of these
principles to the threatened
area.
Most of the free nations of

obviously, it was never ex-
pected that this collective secur-
ity arrangement would spring
into existence overnight. There
are too many important prob
lens to be resolved. But there
is a general sense of urgency.
"The fact that such an organ

bearing on what happens at
