WOULDN'T BET Another Western official said he wouldn't even bet on the prop psition. The top Communist gates here kept to themselves. One high conference source, said Mendes-Franee 'had pushed away one obstacle to peace to a tentative fashion the long debated question of the inter national commission to police the armistice.

'There would be last minute changes, it was emphasized The British, it was reported will support' Mendes-Franee on thi composition.

The position of the United States has not been made known. In the past, the United States has opposed the inclusion of any Communist states on the $om-tj mission because of the unhappy results in Korea, where Czecho-. Slovakia and Poland hampered operations of the neutral nations' supervisory commission with their -veto pwei', Under the tentative agreement reached by MendcsrFrance and the Communists, decisions would be taken by unanimous vote on any issues which might lead to the resumption of hostilities.
