The two Indo-Chinese king doms have made it clear they Will not negotiate with repre sentatives of the Communist "resistance governments,” which they and the French contend are “phantoms” with no popu lar support.

ACT ON GUATEMALA—New York—Ambassa dor Eduardo Castillo-Arriola, Guatemalan delegate to the United Nations, urges that the Council send observers to Guate-' mala to investigate the air raids and invasion of the small na tion. —AP Wirephoto. U. N. Urges Guatemala Truce, Asks Withholding of All Aid By the Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N. Y„ June 21.—The United Nations Security Council called unanimously last night for a cease-fire in Guate mala and for all U. N. members to withhold aid from the fight ing forces there. The action came after the So viet Union cast its 60th veto in Council history on behalf of Guatemala’s leftist government. The veto defeated a motion to re fer the Guatemalan complaint of aggression to the Western Hem isphere’s regional organization, the Organization of American States. United States Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., Council presi dent for June, said the Soviet ve to showed obviously the Russians have “designs” on the Americas. He warned angrily: “I say to the Soviet delegate: Stay out of the Western Hemis phere. Don’t try to start your plans and conspiracies here.” Meeting in Washington. Despite the Russian vote, Guatemala has already asked the five-member Inter-American Peace Committee of the OAS to help stop the invasion against President Jacobo Arbenz Guz man’s government. The com mittee scheduled a meeting in Washington this afternoon to take dp the request. The eea&vflre call was voted after Guat&nalan Delegate Ed uardo CastiUf-Arriola charged neighboring Honduras and Nica ragua, backed by the Uhl ted States and the United Fruit Co., had connived in an aggression against Guatemala’s territory by mercenary expeditionary forces. Mr. Lodge hotly defended his government and denied the charges. He said information available to the United States ‘strongly suggests that the situa tion does not involve aggression, but a revolt of Guatemalans against Guatemalans.” The Council took no action on Guatemala’s request that it send i. peace observation commission at once “to prove the conni vance” of Honduras and Nicara qua. Representatives of those two countries termed the charges “dramatic and tremendous” and “surprising” and said the matter should be referred to the inter- American organization. Council Chamber Packed. Yesterday’s meeting was the second Sunday Council session in U.N. history, matching that of June 25, 1950, on the Korean war. More than 650 spectators, correspondents and participants packed the high-ceilinged Coun cil chamber. The proceedings were inter rupted three times by applause, which Mr. Lodge's gavel cut off, and once by a sport-shirted spec tator shouting “down with the Guatemalan invasion by the State Department.” U. N. guards turned the man over to New York police who booked him on a disorderly conduct charge and held him for mental observation. He identified himself as “Wil liam Daley of Greenwich Village, l New York City, in care of the American Labor Party.” The Guatemalan delegate told the Council his country had been invaded from Honduras on Fri day by mercenaries and bombed by P-47 planes of North Amer ‘ ican manufacture, the latter I coming from bases on Nicaragua i and Honduras. He claimed to have docu mentary proof linking the leader of the invasion, Guatemalan Exile Col. Carlos Castillo Armas, with Nicaragua and “the gov ernment of the north,” an obvi ous reference to the United States. Accuses State Department.

He 1 conceded that communism had ‘a certain support” in Guatemala but said even if it were outlawed “this campaign would find another pretext.” He charged the invasion had been sparked by the fruit com pany because his government is i expropriating large tracts of > company land under its land ! reform program. He also assert ed United States Secretary of State Dulles and former Am bassador John Moors Cabot had a financial interest in the com pany, Mr. Lodge hotly replied such statements were libels. He said every one who knew Mr. Dulles knew he would not be swerved from his duty by any financial considerations. U. S. Flyers Accused. The Guatemalan also pro duced the surprise charge that two flyers of United States citi > zenship had crash-landed, wounded, at Tapaohula, Mexico, yesterday, after an attack on Guatemala. In Mexico City, the Mexican Air Force Chief of Staff Col. Carlos R. Bergunza de Vic toria, said he had no report of liny sgch incident. i The resolution to refer the Guatemalan Complaint to the OAS for “urgent consideration” Svas introduced by Braatt and Colombia. Opposing it, Russian Delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin said Guatemala would be “squashed” before the organiza ’ tion acted. He termed the United States 1 the “boss” of the inter-American » group and accused Washington of an “aggressive policy” toward Latin America. The vote on the Brazilian Co lombian resolution was 10-1, the lone Soviet negative killing the proposal. Mr. Lodge called the veto “cynical.” The cease-fire resolution then was introduced by Henri Hoppe- Bot of France. All 11 members voted for it. In it, the Council “calls for the immediate termination of any action likely to cause blood shed and requests all members of the United Nations to abstain, 1 in the spirit of the charter, from giving assistance to any such ■ action.” I i 500 Viet Minh Escape War Prisoner Camp By th.

President May Seek Churchill's Help on Southeast Asia Talks By John M. Hightower Associated Pratt Staff Writer President Eisenhower probably will urge British Prime Minister Churchill to co-operate In set ting up an international confer ence on anti-Communist defenses in Southeast Asia when the two meet here this week end. Mr. Churchill and Foreign Secretary Eden are due here Fri day. Their talks with Gen. Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles will be informal and, aides indicate, as secret as possible. The Indo-China crisis is the No. 1 topic for their discussions. Others Include the organization of a European defense commu nity and atomic energy problems. Still Pushed by U. S. United States officials said that the American Government is still urgently interested get ting a united front of allied European and Asian nations set up to halt Communist expan sion in the Indo-China area. They think a conference would be useful to that end. Until about two days ago au thorities figured there was every reason to believe Britain would go along on some move toward creation of a Southeast Asian alli%pce. That estimate was based on the official belief that Britain had decided the Geneva conference would fail to produce peace in Indo-China so that alternatives to peace—in other words, collective action—should now be considered. But on Friday and Saturday. France organized a new govern ment which staked its existence on getting an Indo-China peace in 30 days. Then the Reds at Geneva offered new concessions to keep the talks going and agreed to military discussions on ending the war at Laoas and Cambodia as well as in Viet Nam. The Geneva developments re portedly brought new hopes for peace to British leaders, al though Americans remained skeptical. Stop to See Mendes-France. Mr. Eden and the United States chief delegate. Undersec retary of State Walter Bedell Smith, flew homeward yester day, to report. Both stopped en route to see the new French Premier, Pierre Mendes-France. Gen. Smith made no state ment. Mr. Mendes-France de scribed their talk as “very friendly.” Gen. Smith is due to partici pate in intensive consultations here. It seemed that these would amount to a careful re-weighing of the new, fast-moving ele ments which will bear upon both American and British policy.

Smith Says on Return By James E. Roper Undersecretary of State Wal ter Bedell Smith, returning from the Geneva Conference on the Far East, promised today that the United States will continue “sincere, patient” efforts to negotiate a just settlement in i Indo-China. . Gen. Smith said the United States role in the negotiations “is that of a friendly and inter ested nation, neither a belliger ent nor a principal in the nego tiations." Soon after Gen. Smith’s re turn, President Eisenhower in vited a bipartisan group of more than 30 congressional leaders tc a White House conference al 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to heai Gen. Smith’s report on the Gen eva conference. White House Press Secretarj James C.

Civilians By tlte Associated Press GENEVA, June 21.—The Chi nese Communists confirmed to day that they are holding 30 j American civilians in prison, but said one civilian and a number of military personnel listed by the United States as detained were either dead or missing. This information was passed on to the United States in the | fourth meeting between repre i sentatives of the United States ; : and Chinese Communist delega . j tions on the exchange of de -1 tained persons. The United States agreed to permit 15 detained Chinese na > ■ tionals to leave the United . States and return to the China ' mainland. j The Chinese, on their side, supplied preliminary lnforma ' tion on the list of approximately 83 American civilian and mili ; tary personnel believed by the 1 United States either to be in prison or to be prevented from leaving China. The Chinese said W. L. Win ter, a missionary, had been ar rested for espionage, but died in prison February 27, 1951. He was a mission worker in a leprosarium in Kiangsi Province. In the military category, the Chinese,said three flyers—P. E. Voorhis, H. D. Weese and A. D. Hart, jr.—had died of injuries received when they parachuted from their plane over Antung, North China. The United States had listed 11 crew members of a United States naval patrol plane and a rescue plane as probable de tainees, but the Chinese ‘ repre sentative said the two planes crashed into. the sea and the men were missing. The names of these 11 were not disclosed. The Chinese said one of the 32 listed by the United States and being in prison was never de tained and is now living in Hu nan Province. He is the Rev. John B. Maye of Scranton, Pa., a Roman Catholic missionary. The Chinese did not say when any of those detained would be released —if at all. The United States was repre sented in the talks by U. Alexis Johnson, United States Ambas sador to Czechoslovakia who is acting head of the United States delegation at Geneva, and the Chinese Communists by Wang Ping-nan, secretary general of the Chinese delegation.
