Eden plan for Indochina zones faces Vietnam talks
U S and Vietminh officials discuss Geneva talks to set scattered assembly areas for troops after a cease fire. Eden proposes immediate military representatives meet in Geneva to finalize zones while armistice supervision and other military matters are explored. Molotov hinted amendments, but Western sources say they were withdrawn. Both sides agree in principle on regrouping zones in Vietnam, largely in Vietminh hands.
