GENEVA (Reuters) -— Prepara- tions for opening the lndo-China peace talks shifted into high gear Wednesday night——wit.h the first talks probably starting Friday af- ternoon—while the West nervously watched a new French govern- ment crisis approach a climax in Paris.

An authoritative source announced the Friday date follow- ing a meeting Wednesday between Andrei Gromyko. Soviet deputy foreign minister. and Jean Chau- vel. French ambassador to Switz- erland.

French sources said after the meeting that the two had decided that the chairmanship of the talks aimed at ending the war in Indo- China would be limited to the na- tions taking part.

The reports which lacked direct confirmation. said loyal govern- ment forces succeeding in quelling the uprising in the Paraguayan capital. Asuncion. They said police chief Dr. Roberto L. Petit was killed in the bottle with the rebels.
