Missouri Democratic Senatoria,
nomination conceded last night

enough votes to defeat Thomas C
Hennings, jr., of ST. Louis.

Tuesdays primary. said Mr., Hen
nings has the most votes and I
go by the figures
Nearly complete returns. in
Guiding the. absentee vote from
81 counties and part of two others
out of a total of lis, showed
Hennings leading 1884 to 49,
533. The partial tabulation of
absentee votes gave Allison 3.l27
and Hennings 1910. The remain
ing mail votes are too few to
change the result.
With absentee ballots from only
% counties remaining to be
checked Mr.. Hennings' lead stood
at 1901. Among the big counties
still to report their absentee bal
lots are Mississippi, which issued
only 100, and st. Louis County,

This Changing World
Red Push in Indo- China Held Likely
AS Forces Facing Formosa Are Cut

munist conquest of Indo-C China.
either political or military, would
be near fatal development for
Thailand and Burma, would seri-
ously shake all the remainder Of
Southeastern and Southern Asia
and would have serious repercus-
sions among the European powers
France. Britain and the Neither
lands-who have traditional stakes
in that part of the world. An
American military mission is pres
entity in Indo-China and French
spokesmen already are proposing
joint military effort.
Meanwhile, the dangers and
complexities involved in our COM
mitment to prevent Communist
invasion of Formosa have not
been lessened. President Truman's
orders to the 7th Fleet to
block such invasion means shoot
ing when and if the Communists
attempt the move. The United Ma
tions has not joined>us in this de-
cision, and two non-Communist
countries of great influence in
Asian affairs-Britain and India
have recognized the Communist
government at Peiping.
Poses Diplomatic Problem.
While our intent may be to con-
fine any exchange of shooting
with Chinese Communists to de-
fensive interdiction of action
against Formosa, it is not simple
to confine wars in that manner.
In any case. outbreak of open
hostilities between the United
States and Communist China
would pose a perplexing diplo-
matte problem for Britain and
Australia, for example, and prob
ably would drive India completely
away from the Western bloc.
Already sufficiently on the rec
ord as far as acceptance of the
Peiping government is concerned,
India's reservations about western
behavior in Asia were clearly and
significantly stated in Prime
Minister Nehru's address to his
Parliament on Thursday We do
not, in his opinion, know what
we are doing in Asia nor under
stand the problems or the minds
of the Asiatic. 1t was a highly
significant address and one which
must henceforth be constantly
borne in mind in the continuing
formulation of our policies in
Asia.
India obviously does not intend
to relinquish any degree of her
leadership in the continent, and
all non-Asiatic powers would do
we'll to study these latest words of
the Prime Minister.

Korean army.
Its "steadfastness under fire has

Army commander in a letter to
Gen. Chung II Kwun, South Ko-
rean Army chief of staff.
Gen. Walker wrote:
II have been impressed by the
fighting quality of your troops.
I find they are ready at any time
to close with the enemy and press
home an attack. Determination
has not been lessened by dis
couraging circumstances and ad-
verse conditions.
Their high resolve to win the
ultimate victory is evident. 1

Insurance Company Denies
Diversion of Business

The Mutual Life Insurance Co.
of Washington, 724 Ninth street
NV, and its president yesterday
formally denied it had diverted
any business from the National
Accident & Health Insurance Co.
of Philadelphia to Mutual.
Mutual and its president, Harry
G. Walters, denied Nationals allie
cations in an answer filed yester-
day in District Court. At the
same time, Mutual filed a coun-
terclaim. asking $750,000 damages
from National, which in suit
filed last month had asked
$450, 900 damages from Mutual.
National had charged, in it's
suit, that Mr.. Walters, while serv-
ing as general agent for National,
had used his position to divert
business to Mutual. This was de-
MED in the answer, which said
that any loss of business by Ma
tional was not due to any wrong
full or illegal act' by Mutual or
Mr.. Walters.
The counter claim by Mutual
charges that National has sought
to "injure, damage and destroy
the business Of Mutual"

reported along the China coast
Immediately facing Formosa.
Where they have gone is still
under speculation, but the two
foremost guesses are Cd north
ward in the area adjacent to
Korea and (2) southwark in the
direction of Indo-China. 1t has
been known for several weeks that
major Chinese Communist troop
concentrations were close to the
Korean peninsula, but neither
political nor military reasons have
prompted their intervention in
that war. In fact, the possibility
that the Peiping Red government
may be preparing for a quick push
into Indo-China has even more
disturbing implications than the
threat of a new force in Korea.
House of Balanced Cards.
= The entire southeast corner of
Asia is a house of delicately bal
anced cards. Communism, mask
! ing itself in many places behind
nationalist movements, has kept
all of these countries in ferment.
Indo-China. because of its stra-
tegic location and its considerable
resources, is probably the key
country. For more than three
years a trained and experienced
Communist leader, Ho Chi Mini,
has had sufficient following to
pin down and Illustrate a French
colonial army of more than 150,-
900 troops.
1t is known here that the liaison
between Ho and Mao TSe-tung
the Chinese Communist leader,
has become increasingly strong
and close in recent weeks and it
is known further that Chinese
Red forces are present in strength
along the common frontier. Com
