The decision was made at a meeting of dele- gates of the 16 nations in the State Department today.

The United States was also instructed to approach the Communists through a neutral country which maintained relations with the Com- munists to determine whether the time and pro- posed sites were acceptable..

Sweden was reported to be the country elected.
