French Units Abandon
Another Outpost on
|ndo-China Frontier
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo-China, Oct. 16
The French today announced
abandonment of still another post
on the China a-Indo-Ch frontier
the small outpost of Nacham.
A military spokesman said the
Nacham garrison had withdrawn
9 miles southeast to Dong Dang,
last major French position before
the frontier headquarter fortress
of Langson, 6 miles further to the
southeast.
Evacuation Without Fighting.
The spokesman said evacua-
ton of Nacham had been accom-
plished without important fight
ing. Other French sources said
Communicated Wet Mimi troops
had occupied Nacham following
the French withdrawal.
The report of the abandonment
of the post came as French
officials said privately 1t soon
might be necessary to withdraw
French forces from all Chinese
frontier posts. In the past month
the French have abandoned the
posts of Dongkhe, Caobang, and
Thatkhe, leaving some 800 miles
of the Chinese frontier open to
traffic by the Wet Mimi to and
from supply and training points
in Communist China.
Civilians Leaving City.
Along the frontier, France still
garrlSonS the posts of Moncay
on the coast; Langson, in approx
lmately the center of the line, and
Laokay. on the west.
officials said privately that
these might have to be abandoned
because of the overwhelming
strength of the Communists in
the border region and to reinforce
defenses of Hanoi and Haihpong
the two largest cities in North
Indo- o-China.
AS the fall Of frontier positions
continued, a spokesman said some
civilians already are evacuating
Langson by air and road.
However, Associated Press Cor
respondent Kenneth Likes in CEN
sored dispatches from Langson
said most of the population of
10000 is remaining voluntarily.
Langson guards the main in
vasion route from China and has
the only French airbase along the
north Indo-Chinese border.
The spokesman said he had no
further information on the status
OF the Thatkhe garrison. The last
official word was that the gar
rison's rear guard was under
sporadic attack but that the bulk
OF the withdrawing force had
reached its objective, which was
presumed here to mean Nacham.
French civilian and military
leaders, meanwhile, were on their
way from Paris to Indo-C China to
study the mounting crisis here.
