Wet Mini Stronghold
OF Thai Nguyen Falls
By the Associoted Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, Oct. s.
A French military spokesman said
today that resistance of Commu-
nist-led Wet Mimi troops in Thai
Nguyen has ended.
Attacking forces have seized the
rich delta basin surrounding the
former Wet Mini stronghold 40
miles north of Hanoi. the spokes-
man said.
He added that the Wet Mimi
troops in the Thai Nguyen area
are fleeing toward the northeast.
French lines south of Hanoi are
being consolidated to exploit the
newly-won position in the Wet
Mini heartland of North Indo-
China, he reported.
The spokesman said the present
offensive in the Thai Nguyen area
will continue until the useful delta
lands are occupied. French troops
already hold positions about 4
miles north Of the city.
French strategy has been to
occupy the rice-growing delta
lands to deny rice supplies to the
Wet Mimi troops. BY blockading
the Wet Mini in the sparse noun
tain region, the French hope to
dissipate Wet Mimi strength.
Aside from the strategic i'm
portance. Thai Nguyen commands
the northern reaches of the Red
River delta. French occupation
thus denies the Wet Mimi in
North Indo- China one of the most
vital food yielding areas still re-
naming to them.

Get Behavior Advice
BY fhe Assoeioted Press

SOUTH KOREAN HEADOUAR-
TIERS. Oct. 3.-American military
advisers said these instructions for
behavior toward the people of
North Korea have been given to
South Korean troops:
l. North Korean civilians are
liberated brothers not enemies.
2. Their rights as future citizens
Of the Republic of Korea and their
private and public property must
be respected.
3. The Republic of Korea SOL
dier is the protector of the North
Korean civilian, not his conqueror
4. The South Korean soldier
must demonstrate that an army
of a democratic country can be
an asset to the people, rather than
liability.
5. Each South Korean officer
and soldier is an ambassador of
democracy. He must show by ex-
amples of good conduct and kind
ness that democratic rule is su-
perior to the police state methods
OF Communist dictators.

Vienna Police Armed
AS Red Strike Nears
By the Associated Press

VIENNA, Oct. 3.-Austria' gov
ernment rejected today Commu-
mist strike ultimatum and armed
Vienna police in anticipation OF
possible disorders. The Commu-
nists set midnight tonight as the
deadline.
The Communists also issued q
proclamation asking full support
OF all workers for a general walk
out and demonstrations tomorrow
if the government fails to meet
its demands for increased wages.
The threatened strike call affects
at least $4,000 workers in the
Russian administered plants in
and near Vienna.
The order went out to arm the
police and permit them to wear
steel helmets as the government
issued a proclamation calling on
Austria's workers to ignore the
Reds, destroy illegal road blocks
they might set up and throw
rioters out of the factories.
The Vienna police have not
carried arms since 1888.
Ferdinand Graf, state secretary
IN the Ministry of Interior, an
nounced the order and declared
Communist demonstrations are
doomed to failure"
I'VE have taken every precau-
ton to maintain order no matter

Senate Studies Report
OF fNewsprint Shortage
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Small Business Com
mittee's staff began a survey today
of newsprint supplies.
Chairman Sparkman, Democrat,
of Alabama said in a statement:
Many complaints have been
received by committee members
from small weekly publications.
These small town editors and pub
fishers have been told by their
suppliers that their newsprint allo-
cation will be cut as much as 40
per cent"
He said that if the committee
Staff's findings bear out these
complaints, subcommittee will be
appointed to conduct full inquiry
into newsprint supply and demand.
Senator Sparkman said news
print production is ahead of last
year but a rush of orders after
the outbreak of the Korean war
caused all newsprint mills to go

HONG KONG, Oct. 3.-Why is
Communist China apparently so
worried about the 38th Parallel
in Korea?
Undoubtedly one reason is the
Yalu River hydroelectric power
grid built by the japanese to
supply industries in both Man
churia and Korea.
Now. that South Korean troops
have crossed 38 and the Com
munist regime of North Korea
seems about to collapse, the Chi
neSe Reds see possible interruption
of power to their vital Manchurian
industries.
Presumably the Chinese Reds
view is this:
If all Korea is unified under the
United Nations the all-impor-
tant Yalu River power dams will
pass into hands considerably less
friendly.
Inc Tear OF such q development
could explain the many threats
Chinese Communists have made
to intervene in the Korean war.
This Is the background of the
power dams on the Yalu which
forms the boundary between Man
churia and Korea:
After Japan's defeat in World
War II these dams passed first to
the Russians, then to the Ko-
rean Reds.
Later, when the Chinese Reds
drove the Chinese Nationalist
from Manchuria, the dams con-
tlnued under the operation of the
North Koreans.
AS the Chinese Communists
launched their big program of re-
building Manchuria's industries
Yalu power was of vital import

Of the performance of his men.
"We are going to the borders

there before the winter comes. 4"
The Manchurian border is
about 180 miles by air from the
38th parallel. But by road it is
probably nearer 800. Rubbing his
eyes sleepily, Col. Jung, a tall,
handsome young man wearing an
American Army sweater, explained
his general couldn't give us an

Victory Celebration Held.
There had been victory cele-
bration the evening before.
Morale is very high and the
men are in an offensive mood"
Col. Jung said. Our only worry
now is that our front commanders
may go too far too fast.
They all want to make it a
race. But we haven't been losing
many men. Every day we have
few casualties. 10 or Is wounded,
3 or 4 killed. We need more medi-
cal supplies. We are short OF
morphine and other drugs"
A KMAG officer said they were
SO short that five or six men were
required to hold wounded soldiers
during operations. No anaes-
thesia was available.
Col. Jung said victory would be
speeded if he had more vehicles
Lack Transportation.
"Our biggest trouble is lack OF
Transportation" he said. The Sd
Division had around 100 trucks
but it needs 500, he added.
Because Of the lack of vehicles
the Korean national police has
been unable to keep up with the
army and mop up guerrillas and
by-passed units of North Koreans
The area for 100 miles or more
behind the advance ROK columns
is still unsafe.

problem so long as the dams re-
manned in the hands of friendly
Korean Reds.
In the overall picture, Red
China would seem to have little
to gain by involving herself in
the Korean war. Still, she cannot
afford to lose the major source of
power for Manchuria, Communist
China'S main industrial area.
Whether this power is worth the
risk of war is a question yet to be
answered. But the Chinese Com
munists are very touchy about
Manchuria, for it is the only ter
ritory they hold where a modern
industrialization program might
succeed. They have made tremen-
dous effort there.

Austin Charges Soviet
With Phony Plan 10
Control Atom Bomb
BY the Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. g.
Warren R. Austin says the Rus
slams tried to play a tragic hoax
on the peace-loving people of the
world with a phony plan for
atomic energy control"
Mr.. Austin, United States dele
gate to the United Nations, made
the charge last night as one of
three speakers at dinners marking
a University of Michigan project
to harness atomic energy for
peace.
The others were Gordon Dean,
chairman of the United States
Atomic Energy Commission, and
Gen. Eisenhower, president of Co.
lumbia University.
The speeches Saluted the start
OF a drive to raise SOS million for
the university's war memorial
Phoenix Project" 1t is so named
for Phoenix. bird of mythology,
which rose from its own ashes.
Private Research Stressed.
Mr.. Dean, speaking at Ann
Arbor, said privately financed re-
search in unclassified fields is basic
to speedy progress in atomic de-
velopment.
Gen. Eisenhower, talking at
State College. Pa, said, "a ma
tlon relying on guns alone for it's
defense would soon become a
corpse in armor.'"
Mr.. Austin spoke in New York
City at another of series of
simultaneous alumni dinners in SIS
cities. He defended the willing
ness of the United States to con-
slider any plan that would achieve
atomic control.
Mr.. Austin said the Soviet Union
has called for the outlawing of
the one weapon in which it is de-
fclent, without submitting atomic
weapons to effective international
controls"
District Alumni Hear Speeches.
1T (the Soviet) not only seeks
to eliminate this weapon from the
arsenals of democracy, but to rig
the arrangement so that it could
attain atomic superiority under
the guise Of production for peace
time purposes" Mr.. Austin said.
Funds obtained in the campaign
will be used to finance research on
constructive uses of atomic energy.
The talks of Gen. Eisenhower
and Mr.. Austin were piped by tele-
phone to the other campaign din
ners in the Nation.
More than 125 Michigan grad
yates of the Washington area
heard the speeches by telephone
broadcast at a dinner at the
Terrace Restaurant of National

20 Projects Under Way.
At Ann Arbor the university
president, DR.. Alexander G. Ruth
ven, said that 20 projects already
were under way for a better life in
the atomic age.
Projects include special study
ito develop ways and means of
protecting human beings against
radiation" He said.
This applies not only to the
possibility of atomic attack but
also to the thousands of people
working daily with radioactive
materials" he said.
The project was started as a
memorial to the soldier dead of
World War Il. Nearly 200 differ
ent research projects have been
proposed by scientists and engi-
