Geneva, May 21.
The Indo-China peace talks, doadiocked since they began a fortnight ago, resume in secret to- day. During these negotiations the West may I have to make critical decisions.
The deadlock arose out of Communist de- mands that negotiations for a settlement should cover Laos and Cambodia. The Western powers stress that the Vietminh as invaders should evacuate the two smaller Indo-Chinese states with- out negotiation.
But ahead of the Western nations, looms the big- gest problem of all what to do if the talks fail.

Washington, May 23. Senator George Smathers said today the United States "actually took the leap" toward active intervention in the Indo-China war recently "but turned back in 'mid-air”.
His remarks, made at an American Legion meeting in St Petersburg, Florida, brought an im- mediate denial from a Republican Senator but equally prompt support from a Democratic mon- ber of the House Armed Services Committee.
