Sabotage Breaks 0uf
In Saigon as French
Mop Up Rebel Center
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
SAIGON, Indochina, Nov. -io.--
Shipping and sabotage broke out
anew in the Saigon area today as
strong French forces, armed with
American lease lend equipment,
continued to clean up newly cap
tured Tay Mini, Annamite re-
sistance center, So miles northwest
of here.
An Anglo-French statement said
the Annamites set fire to fuel dump
at the Saigon airport and burned
an unused cinema during the early
morning hours, while firing fiared
up In the powerhouse area of Cl1o-
Ion.
It also reported sniping near
Thudaumot airfield where JAPANESE
forces were concentrated for dis
armament. a number of arrests were
mace an some arms were seized.
The capture of Tay Mini, OPEN
ing the first overland link with food
rich Cambodia, was announced yes
terday after bitter battle in which
the 9Th and 11th French colonial
regiments and elements of the vet
eran French I'd Armored Division
took part.
ii Important Documents Seized.
The fighting ragged late into the
night in a bamboo forest s miles
from Tay Mini, where the French
encountred the focal point of An
Mantle resistance. The French said
they had seized "a large number of
important documents an indica-
ton that they may have discovered
the long-sought headquarters of the
Wet Mini, Annamite nationalist
movement.
Although the French were known
to be using American-made equip
ment, including tanks, Army ofh-
cials refused to furnish details or
estimate the amount of American
arms used.
The re-opening of land route to
Cambodia will expedite the move
ment of food supplies to Saigon.
Up to now the only way Cambodias
rich food surpluses could reach here
was by Japanese-manned river
conveys.
The new route also will be used
for the movement of two divisions
of Japanese troops from Phnom
PENN, capital of Cambodia, to Sal
gon for disarmament.
Meanwhile, a French economio
expert, 1t. Col. Jean Esquissaud,
said the first consignments In a
$3.50, ,00o,0 rehabilitation and re-
equipment program for Indo-C China

Better Gl Dress, Behavior
Demanded by Eisenhower

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 10
Eisenhower today directed
his unit commanders to take imme-
diate steps to improve the dress and
behavior Of American troops in Eur
ope to prevent the Army from get
ting "a bad reputation"
In letter to commanders, Gen
Eisenhower said, "our standards of
courtesy" had fallen below those
that Americans habitually observe
at home" that careless and reckless
driving was taking a considerable
toll Of life and that proper Army
dress was not being observed. =
He said the conduct Of the soldiers
was excellent in most cases but de-
clared the remaining ! relatively
small minority can give xus a bad
reputation that viii take our c0un-
try a long time to overcome" 1

Army Asks Novyto Back Plea
For Restricting Civilian Travel

able for troop transportation. Gen
Gross said ban on such travel ul
to 500 miles would affect civilian
use Of Pullmans on such trips as
Washington to Boston, Washington
to Cleveland or San Francisco to
Los Angeles.
Last month, he said, one train OF
soldiers from the Pacific had to ride
in day coaches from Seattle, Wash,
to Camp Blanding, Fla.
The hardest strain on the rail-
roads, Army officials asserted, is due
next month.
In September the railroads made
1,010,995 organized moves" that is,
movements of groups of 40 or more
men. These are Army figures alone,
and do not reflect the movements
of discharged Navy, Marine and
Coast Guard personnel or. of in
dividual soldiers.
Rise of 100000 Seen.
In October, the organized
moves had increased to 1,0lI ,37C
for the Army and in that month
/ 1.270,000 soldiers were discharged
The November and December fig
ures Of organized" moves, it was
claimed, will exceed the October
record by more than 100000.
The movement from overseas is
being accelerated at such a rate
Army officials said, that troops are
now being held up at Pacific Coast
staging areas for 48 hours before
they can get rail transportation to
reception or separation centers.
To help out. the Army has as.
signed 81 hospital cars to move
troops, since these are no longer
needed in such large numbers
However, these constitute but a drop
in the bucket Of demand.

BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Faced with a critical shortage OF
Pullman cars for transporting re-
turned soldiers on transcontinental
hauls, the Army has asked the Navy
to join in demanding further re-
strictions on civilian travel in sleep
ing cars, now denied on trips under
$50 miles, it was learned yesterday.
Maj. Gen. Charles P. Gross, chief
of the Transportation Corps, said
the Army is preparing to ask the
Office of Defense Transportation to
extend this ban to trips Of 500 miles
or less. He estimated this would
make $50 more Pullmans available
Immediately for service men. In the
hope Of bringing concerted action,
Gen. Gross said he Is urging the
Navy Department to join in the
request.
An Army spokesman said that
while such q move probably would
bring. protests, the choice lies be-
tween allowing soldiers to accumu-
late in staging areas on the West
Coast or inaugurating regular trans
continental movements for them in
day coaches.
The Army now is accepting
rides of 48 hours in day coaches
because of the lack of Pullmans
and sees the prospect of 72-hour
rides In coaches unless something
is done pretty soon," Gen. Gross
said.
He said. the Nations railroads
are now under the severest travel
strain of the entire war due to the
increased demobilization program
and heavier public travel. Part of
the present shortage In troop sleep
ing cars, he said, has been caused
by strike in the Kenosha (Wis.)
plant of the Simmons Co., which
hasa contract for sqdipphs u 40
cars for such service.
War Department. records showed
that the Simmons Co. was under
contract to deliver In December
1900 cars converted into troop
sleepers. Only 10 Of these have
been delivered to. date. !. It was said.
In addition, 800 sleeping cars are
being tied up for lack Of berth In
stallations.
