Dalai Lama Reported
Fleeing Tibef's sCapitaI
As Chinese Advance
BY the Associoied Press

CALCUTTA, India, Nov. 4.-Re-
ports reached Calcutta today that
Tibet's boy ruler. the 16-year-old
Dalai Lama, has fled from his cap
ital of Lhasa in the face Of in
vading Chinese Communists.
The reports, which came from
the India Tibet border point Of
Kalimpong and which are officially
unconf1rmed here, said the young
ruler had left with his aged res
gent for an unknown destination
Backed by India's offer of asy-
1um to the Tibetan leaders, re-
ports from New Delhi said the
Dalai Lama and other government
heads were on their way to India.
This also was without official con-
flrmation.
Minister Leads Troops.
Invading Communist troops re-
portedly captured Chamdo after
battle with Tibetan defenders
led by cabinet minister, Naboo,
described as one of Tibet's ablest
leaders. His whereabouts and that
Of his wife are not known. An
other minister, Ihalu, was said to
have been captured in the fall Of
Chamdo.
Foreign ministry officials in New
Delhi were skeptical of the re-
ported flight of the Dalai Lama,
but they admitted they were puz-
zled at the long silence of their
diplomatic representative at
LhaSa. DR.. E. Sinha.
His last report was received Oc-
tober 80 and was the only reliable
news received directly from the
I1betan capital so far. It said
Chinese Communist troops were
200 airline miles east of Lhasa.
India Asylum Possible.
His report also inquired wheth-
er the 16-year- Lama would be
given refuge in India if he desired
it. India's reply was that asylum
would be granted any legitimate
refugee.
Rumors are generated briskly at
kallmpong, where they are picked
up from groups of Tibetan traders
who arrive at the border town
periodically after a nearly three
week trek from Lhasa with their
merchandise laden yaks - the
beasts of burden in that primi-
tive region.
Many such reports lack substan-
tiatlon from other sources.

French Retreat Anew,
Dig In Around Hanoi
As Ho Rebels Attack
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo-C China. Nov. 4.
French troops began new re-
treat today, this time for posi-
tions in the foothills As miles
southwest of Hanoi.
Official reports said the small
French post of Vubanh and a
whole string of outposts and
guard towers were being evacu-
ated.
The withdrawal represented a
new retrenchment of defense
lines around Hanoi, Northern
1ndo-China metropolis and key
center of the Red River Delta.
Since September the French
have been carrying out series
of retreats from frontier forts fac
ing Red China. north of Hanoi.
The French force of 1900 fee

frontier fort which was the latest
to be abandoned in the north,
reached Chapa today. That post
is 90 miles southwest of Laokay.
Last Positions Given Up.
The French troops falling back
from the Vubanh region were re-
linquishing their last major po-
sitions southwest of the Day River.
The Day. running from northwest
to southeast, traces a course about
II miles west of Hanoi through

The French have line of out

ton about whether Red China had
sent regular divisions into Korea.
AS yet. they said. there is no
pattern Of proof"
Situation in West Stabilized.
In the most crucial area, at
Unsan and Kunu inland from the
west coast. Gen. Macarthur S
headquarters said the entire with
drawal strategy is almost COM
plete."
The situation there appeared, on
the basis of field dispatches, to
be stabilized.
In Northwest Korea, half of a
trapped regiment of the United
States 1st Cavalry Division escaped
to the new U. N. defense line from
a trap sprung Thursday by the
Korean Reds. The Reds were
aided by Chinese Communist
troops.
On the northeast front the
crack United States 7th Marine
Regiment last night smashed a
road block which the Reds had
slipped behind the two lead bat
talions yesterday on the main
supply route from Hamhung to
the Changjin reservoir.
Then the Marines rolled ahead,
northward through Sudong, in a
renewed attack.
Sudong is 20 miles northwest
Of Hamhung.
Five Chinese soldiers were cap
tured.
Marine Link-up Likely.
It was the United States 7th
Marine Regiments first real prog
ress since it jumped off Friday
south Of Sudong. It's objective
is the Changjin Reservoir.
Seventy-flve miles to the south,
another Marine column pierced a
Red Korean roadblock and fought
within 4 miles of a Marine bat
talon isolated three days at
Majon. That inland village is 16
miles west of Wonsan port.
The spokesman said a link-up
was imminent.
The weather continued bad for
Allied air forces. Intermittent
rains and low clouds hampered
close fighter support. Observation
planes were able to spot enemy
forces moving southeasterly from
the Yalu River boundary of Man
churia. But there was no indica-
ton that the movement was large
scale.
Marine planes were supplying
two battalions of American Ma
rines on their drive to the power
dam in the northeast. The Marines
were extended. One battalion had
been encircled just west of Won
san, where the Marines landed
last week. Other units had been
strung out more than 100 miles
from the Sudong area to a point
80 miles south of Wonsan.
Cavalry Regiment Escapes.
On the northwest front, at least
half of the States 1st Cav
airy Divisions 9th Regiment had
escaped from trap sprung Thurs
day near Unsan. An 9th Army
spokesman said there was reason
to believe that the others would
make it safely south.
There was no further word of
another unit of the 1st Cavalry
about half a battalion-that was
trapped west of Unsan in the
heavy Communist counterthrust.
The 1st Cavalry had gone to the

have only a limited objective in
mind in Korea.
Most observers believe the Chi
nese Reds are worried about the
Yalo River power grid. This sup
plies electricity to much Of Man
churia's industries.
Buffer Zone Sought.
Another explanation is that the
Chinese Communists simply want
to establish buffer zone between
Manchuria and Korea. Manchuria
is the main industrial area in
which the Chinese Communists
say they intend to build a modern
China. They always have been
representative about Manchuria.
On the other hand, the new out
break of propaganda with its
overtones of intervention sounds
ominous.
The Peiping radio says 1t has
received thousands of letters"
from writer's anxious to join
their Korean neighbors in an
Initiating the aggressive Ameri-
can hordes" in Korea.
Some Communist newspapers
devoted more than half their
front pages to such expressions
purportedly coming from the
people.
Cant Reason With Tiger"
They carry such language as
this; The war in Korea has
ceased to be a Korean problem,
for American imperialism in
reality has stepped into the shoes
of japanese imperialism. We can
not reason with a man-eating
tiger. We have every reason to
unite against the aggressors.
Observers recognize this as a
! Communist effort to condition
their people for war. And they
believe it sounds more like full
scale rather than limited inter-
vention.
If the fateful step is taken, what
will be the reason? The power
or buffer explanations seem mad
equate for such momentous de-
ciSion.
| Observers frankly admit they
cannot think of any explanation
unless it is that the Chinese
Communists are so completely
under Moscow's thumb that they
are taking an order from Russia
that will mean China's ruin.
Would Close U. N. Door.
These students of Asian affairs
feel that intervention will close
the door of the United Nations
and end all hope of world recog-
milton for Red China at a time
when it's international political
position was improving.
There are other Allied questions.
| Why did the Chinese Reds move
against Tibet. which aroused the
ire of friendly India? Why are
they openly supporting Red revo-
luton in Indo China? They could
have intervened quietly without
provoking unfavorable Western
reaction.
Explanations lie deeply hidden
behind the iron and bamboo cur
tains. But just now it looks to
observers as If the Chinese Com
munists are doing the bidding of
Moscow far more Fundamentally
than any one out here ever ex-
pected.
Certainly, their actions have re-
vived the war jitters in such ex-
posed cold war" points as Hong
Kong.

met and decided in favor of a.
mending the rationing law
which provoked a nationwide
strike of storekeepers. The decis-
ion was taken in order to avoid
a crisis in the coalition Cabinet.
The groceries and the restaur-
ants which joined the merchants
strike earlier reopened this week.
But the president of the Mer-
chants Association announced to-
day that other stores will not
reopen until Premier David Ben
Gurion announces in the parlia-
ment that the government is
ready for a compromise on the
rationing law.
Leaders of the Israel Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants
Association this week addressed
a huge mass meeting in Tel Aviv
at which they charged that the
government decision to introduce
rationing of shoes and clothing
actually aims at the liquidation
of the middle class and the de-
struction of private enterprise.
Following the vote in parlia-
ment, leaders of the Merchants
Association stated that the own
ers of stores selling clothing,
footwear and general commod-
tiles will continue to remain clos
ed until a satisfactory arrange
ment is reached between repre-
sentatives of the storekeepers
and the Ministry of Supply for
a better application of the newly
decreed rationing system.
Winding up the Knesset de-
bate. Minister of Supply Dow
Joseph defended the rationing
ordinance in a two-hour speech.
Premier Ben Gurion then took
the floor and condemned the
merchants strike as ineffective
and without moral justification"
He added that the strike was not
successful because the govern
ment would not yield to such
pressure and said it was not NOR
ally justifiable since the demands
for abolition of rationing are not
compatible with the Jewish
states economic situation. whose

"Since the inception of the
state" the Premier continued,

and built 10000 housing units"
He then asked: ''Where is the flow
of youth and experts from Amer

ment's rationing policy, he said:
