French Free Mission
Isolated Near Hanoi
By the Associated Press

HANOI, Indo- China, Jan. ia
French armored column pushing
southwark Wednesday relieved a
Canadian Redemptorist mission on
the outskirts of Hanoi which had
been isolated by Wet Namese forces
since December 10.
Living in the mission were 81
Canadians, one American and 10
native priests and more than 300
civilians, mostly women and child
rem. They had food supplies suffi-
cient to last only until next Tuesday.
Contact had been established with
the mission two days earlier by a
French patrol, which reached the
isolated group through a swamp
while the main road to the mission
was under Veit Namese machine
gun fire.
The priests-all in good health
said the Wet Namese did not at
tempt to damage the mission but
organized a tight blockade around
it and fired several times with small
arms at the buildings and at priests
walking in the garden.
The superior of the mission pro-
tested to the president of the local
Wet Nan1ese Committee, asserting
the mission was neutral. Some time
