Seven countries — including Japan - were listed today by the Cambodian Foreign Minister, Mr Tep Phan, as a group from which three could be chosen to serve on the proposed neutral nations supervisory commission for Indo-China.

Mr Tep Phan was the only delegate today to put forward the names of any countries for the commission as the nine-nation Indo-China peace conference wrangled for another three hours about the powers an armistice supervisory commission should have.

Buenos Airca, June 4.

One man was killed and several wounded in a gun- battle which ended a motal-workers meating here today.

The police used gas to break up the fight, in which bottles were also used as weapons, and cordoned off the area.

Eyewitnesses said the fight began when delegates arrived in force from outlying areas to break a striko which has been complete in the capital for a fortnight. Afterwards a delegation which went to police headquarters reported that President Juan Peron had agreed to interview the workers.

Meanwhile, impromptu speakers harangued the crowd, and told the metal-workers to go to union headquarters tomorrow and “kick the executive out”. --Reuter.
