Fcir "HER"- at Balfour's ("A" Store) PARIS, Dec. 7—(?P)—The Brit ish disclosed tonight they have lined up alongside the Soviet bloc for White RUssia over American backed Greece in the deadlocked voting on a Security Council seat. Shock and resentment voiced in Greece at the inconclusive out come pried off some of the sec recy of the ballot. Athens news papers reported both Britain and France were among the nations favoring White Russia over Greece for the seat Yugoslavia is vacating after a two-year term. But go v ernme n ‘ t officials in London said Britain both voted for 'White Russia and will con tinue to do so for a while under an unwritten "Gentleman's Agree ment" of 1946—an agreement the Americans contend was valid only for that year. This provided that the Soviet Union would have the deciding voice in naming the can didate for Eastern Europe's non permanent seat. Six of the Coun cil's 11 seats are non-permanent; the big five hold the others. "We'll keep on backing White Russia unless it becomes appar ent that Greece is going to muster the necessary two-thirds major ity," a British official said. "Then we probably will switch over to Greece. The last of the eight votes yes terday gave White Russia 32 and Greece 27. If Greece is finally defeated for the seat in renewed voting next week the result will be one of the sharpest setbacks the United States ever has had in the UN. Alexis Kyrou, Greece's perman ent delegate to the UN, said he had been promised British and French support for his nation, which is getting ready to enter the North Atlantic Treaty Organ ization as a. full partner. It was mapped out by , President Klement Gottwald in a report as party chairman. Gottwald told the committee Slansky was removed from his post. of party general secretary last Sept. 6 because he tried to "create another leadership ;cen ter" in the party. Gottwald said Slansky's case now is being investigated "on a new basis" but details could not be disclosed "if we want to un mask this treason down to the roots."

In the wilderness of words, at tendant to the talks, these points were: (1) whether • both sides should designate an equal num ber of representatives on an ar mistice commission, and (2) how to limit troops during anarmis tice. Although the delegations still sharply disagreed, observers at this Allied camp believed the day was approaching when the talks would move swiftly. At Friday's talks, the opposing subcommittees reached general agreement on these three points: 1. All armed forces to stop shooting and bombing within 24 hours after an armistice becomes effective; 2. Troops to withdraw from the demilitarized zone within 72 hours after an armistice; and 3. Troops—except military po lice—to stay out of the demilitar ized zone.
