Wet Nam Conveys Report
ed Moving Toward Be-
leaguered Hanoi

PARIS. Dec. % () France
anpeared to be getting ready to
dispatch a strong naval squadron
to the coasts of a rebellious Indo-
China today amid increasing in
dications that she will use her
planes and guns along with diplo-
macy to keep a 400-year-old en-
pire from falling apart.

ported moving toward beleaguered
Hanoi, former capital of the Wet
Nam republic where. French eff
forts to mop up the European
quarter we're assuming the nature
of a l%ong-drawn and savage street
battle.
From Saigon, capital of Cochin
China in southern Indo-China,
came contradictory reports of the
activities of Viet-Namese adher-
ents. One report said Viet-Namese
formations had completed military
preparations and were under Or
ders to hold themselves ready for
imminent action in South Indo-
China. The French news agency
said, on the contrary. that the
Viet-Namese had been ordered to
refrain from any V e act at pres
emf. Saigon was reported under a
st9te of siege and tense.
All fighter pilots attached to the
aircraft carriers Bearn and Colos-
sus at Toulon were cancelled. and
similar urgent orders were report
ed sent to personnel stationed on
the destroyers Fantasque, Triom-
plant and Dixmude.
These orders, given just before
the New Years celebrations. were
interpreted as p~resaging the dis
patch of the five naval warships
to the Orient. The liner lie de
France already had been directed
to Toulon to pick up 5000 troops
for Indio-China.
French patrol planes riddle Wet
Namese conveys nearing Hanoi
with streams of machinegun fire,
press dispatches said, and the
Viet-Namese replied with strong
attack or French columns moving
around the city.
Violent clashes on the city's out
skirts we're reported. The whole
section of the city controlled by
the French remained encircled by
the hostile natives who had cut it
off from the rest Of Indo-China ex-
cept for aerial transport. This
means of communications for the
beleaguered French was reestab-
lished two days ago when the
French recaptured the airport.
A French general staff COM
munique released at Saigon in
southern Indo-China, and & Wet
Namese broadcast heard in neigh
boring Bangkok, Siam, made it
apparent that the French were
meeting stiff resistance in their So
far futile efforts to mop up the
Hanoi area and clear their COM
munications.

The Senate heretofore has been
more hesitant than the House to-
ward proposals for legislation to
restrict the activities of labor
unions.
The Senate's 40 to % vote for
the Case bill in the last session,
which President Truman vetoed,
represented an unusual decision to
change the rules. Forty-three of
the 40 return to the new Senate,
but they need support from fresh
men if similar legislation is to be
passed again.
Campaign and post-eleetion state
ments by most of the % indicate
they will join in efforts designed
to reduce industrial striff by alter
ing existing laws.
Their viewpoints range from a
proposal by Senator-Elect James
P. KEN (R-Mo) that Congress
write "a new national labor policy"
to a demand by Senator-Elect
Joseph R. Mccarthy R-Wis) for
compulsory arbitration in indus
tries affecting public health and
safety.
A middle layer Of new members
urged in the words of Senator Ray
mond E. Baldwin (R-Conn), "a
sane, moderate, Unconditional" ap-
proach. Baldwin, like others, called
for Republication of responsibility
between labor and management
uder the Wagner Act and for IL
nancial accounting by uions.
Some, like S~eator-elect Irving M.
Ives (R-NY), believe that 1.-The real
solution of labor problems lies in
sympathetic arbitration"
Ives clearly irked the CLIO during
the campaign, however, by a de-
claration that management has as
much right to the lockout as labor
has to the strike.

CRASH VICTIMS RECOVERED FROM

By JOHN RODERICK

SICHANG, Oct. T. A mournIui procession of sedan chairs bearing the white sheeted corpses of all 31 persons who died in the crash of a Chinese National Aviation Corpor- ation transport plane Oct. 8 made it's way down steep Lochi Mountain to the village of Hsichia today
 Runners which emanated from this west China territory occupied by barbarcus Lolo tribesmen had given vivid descriptions. of surviv ors fighting a gun battle with Lolcs before be.o7 captured.
 The fact that an o1 d eN--enl- ly died outright when the craft smashed into the side of the 14,0G0- foct mountain pointed up the un- reliability of stories spread in this fantastic country.
 It was another indication that re- ports of the capture and enslave- ment two years ago of five or so American B-29 pilots might also be a figment of Lolo or Chinese ima- gination.
 A search party, nevertheless, is searching Lololand for trace of a B-29 and it's occupants who crashed in 1944, and is expected hack in a day or two.
