French sources said Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai made known this „position in a private talk with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, one of a series-of big power huddles during the one-day recess • in Indochina ne gotiations.

Costello, Ireland's Prime Minister from 1948 to 1951, displaced aged, nearly blind Eamon de Valera again tonight as the Irish Republic's chief of gov ernment. Voters in Tuesday's general election gave undisputed control of the Dail Parliament to a coa lition formed and kept together by Costello, a leading Dublin at torney. The voters rejected a bid by De Valera only surving com mandant of the 1916 Easter upris ing against the British—to obtain a majority for his Fianna Fail Men of Destiny party. Fianna Fail ran against the field. It was beaten and the 71-year old New York-born De Valera was headed out of the post he had held since 1937, except for 1948- 51 when Costello was Prime Minister. There was speculation that De Valera was nearing the end of his remarkable political career. How ever, he has as yet given no in dication of his future plans. Costello, now 62, is leader of •the Fine Gael party. He was premier when the Irish Republic severed its last ties as a British depend ency. Costello was expected to or ganize the new government along the same coalition lines as the cabinet he headed in the 1948-53 period.
