By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer GENEVA (CP) -— In a slightly]

cased atmosphere, delegates to the" Far East conference Friday night made plans for a series of critical week end "corridor" sessions which could make or break the talks. .

External Affairs Minister Pear-‘ Ion. heading Canada's five - man delegation, said "it looks like an important week-end." These are among the possibilities: l

1. An Asian initiative. possibly emanating from the meeting of Far East countries in Colombo,‘ Ceylon, which may transform the present state of ncar-deadlock nn‘ Indo-China.

_2. A compromise agrr-cnioni do’ signed to get. negotiations on l\'nrc.1 “down to cases." Briefly. Western delegates are hopeful of reaching agreement among thcnisclvcs on some plan for partitioned Korea which the Communists might find hard to reject. i
