“GOOD” ATMOSPHERE AT
YESTERDAY'S
SESSION
Geneva, May 25.
Mr Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, proposed to the Indo-China peace talks today that representatives of the two opposing High Commands be brought to Geneva to discuss a ceasefire and a re- grouping of forces, conference sources said.
The High Commands would act as advisers to the nine-nation con- ference, now trying to end the seven-year Indo-China war.
The sources said this was one of a number of "important pro- posals" submitted by Mr Eden to the sixth secret session of the conference to hasten its work.
Mr Eden had earlier today discussed with Mr Molotov, the Soviet ments in two hours instead Foreign Minister, his co-Chairman, measures to speed up the proceedings.
