Outpost Near Tienyen
Recaptured by French
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, Jan. g.
French troops, breaking out of
their northeast frontier salient in
a major counter offensive, have
retaken the outpost of Chuc-
phaisan, 18 miles northeast of
Tienyen.
A French Army communique
said tonight two French columns
converged on the outpost. which
the Wet Mini captured a month
ago in a broad enveloping move
ment
Apparently seeking to bag q
number of Nationalist battalions
in the area, one column thrust
northeast from Tienyen to meet
another spearhead driving 1C
miles straight west from Hacoi tc
Chucphaisan.
Today's communique reported
that the Nationalist forces are
withdrawing before the French
advance. There appeared to be
little chance that the elusive Ma
tionalist forces would be caught
in a French trap, however.
A French military spokesman
expressed doubt that any sub
-stantial number of Nationalist
troops now remain within the
French banded Hacoi- -Chucphai-

pIeven Asks New Vote
0nArmamentPr Program
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 6.-Premier Rene
Pleyen has called for a new vote
of confidence on his 81 billion re-
armament program. The move
conceded with French protesta-
tions that the Government is do
ing all it can to rebuild Western
defenSes under the North Atlantic
pact.
The confidence ballot comes up
Monday. It means the deputies
must decide whether they will ac-
cept rearmament on the cabinets
terms or see the Government quit
The Chamber last Sunday ap-
proved Mr.. Pleven's rearmament
proposal and means to finance it,
but the Council of the Republic
the second house of France S
parliament-voted the military
budget without the $400 million
in new taxes adopted by the
deputies.
The Council has little real
power and simple majority of
the Assembly would be enough to
override it.
Pleven, however, apparently
wants to leave no doubt about the
support for his rearmament pro-
gram and so asked for the new
confidence vote.

u. N. Forces Abandon
10 Korean Airbases,
But Loss Is Discounted
By Ston Swinton
Press War Correspondent

AN AIRBASE IN SOUTHERN
JAPAN, Jan. 6.-Withdrawing Al
lied forces have abandoned 10
Korean airbases to the Com
munists.
Fields at Suwon and Womb
were the latest evacuated by the
Air Force. Infantry still held
the Wonju field. but evacuation
of the Suwon base was completed
late today.
Will the loss of the airfieldS en-
danger the night and day airlift,
supply lifeline for many with
drawing doughboys?
Absolutely not" Col. Robert
D. Forman, Korean airlift opera
tions officer, said today.
Supply Lines Shorter.
Col. Forman, who also cslled
signals for the Berlin airlift and
the wartime India China Hima-
layan hump run. explained:
The haul to Korea from our
Japanese bases now will be
shorter. That means our capa-
bilities will be increased. And we
have six airfields down south to
take the load. .
I'm the past we have never used
those airfields-never put in the
maximum load they could take.
Our biggest airlift day to Korea
was 1,700 tons. We could airlift
way above that figure, although
for security reasons I cannot say
exactly how much. But the fields
left could provide landing and un-
loading facilities for everything
we could carry"
In other words, combat cargo
command says that despite the
loss OF northern airdromeS it can
not only continue the present pace
of the airlift. but step it up sharp
ly if required.
Evacuation Success"
Withdrawing U. N. forces have
left behind the scorched ruins of
airfields at Yongpo, Hungnam
Slnanju, Pyongyang, Wonsan, Sin
max, Kimpo and Seoul Municipal
Airport.
Makeshift strips at the embat-
tied villages of Koto and Hagaru
also were given up.
Col. Forman called the airport
excavations "a perfect success. +"
Nothing of value was left behind,
he said. Combat cargo command
teams were the last air force per-
sonnel to leave each base to make
sure of the stripping.

TOKYO. Jan. 6-The Navy was
readv. willing and able to evacu-
ate thousands of Allied troops and
tons OF war equipment from the
West korean port of Inchon. But
it neve4 became necessary.
The waters off Inchon were
filled with all types of ships long
before the Chinese moved south
of the 38th Parallel and overran
Seoul.
BY that time United Nations
forces defending the ancient capi-
tai city we're able to withdraw
south easily enough under the cir
Cumstances.
That left only several hundred
truuls at Inchon. port for Seoul,
to be evacuated by sea.
They were the men who oper-
ated the port facilities. Since In
cnon was recaptured last Septem-
Der is by the Allies, millions of
dollars worth of war supplies and
other equipment were funneled
through the port to Allied troops
fighting in Korea.
Withdrawal Was Efficient.
The withdrawal was smooth and
efficient. 1t was supervised by
Rear Admiral L. A. Thackrey,
senior commander of q. N. naval
forces off the west coast of Korea.
The mild-mannered, gray-haired
admiral was ashore much of the
time personally directing the job
of loading equipment and men
aboard ships in a harbor possessing
one of the worlds most treacher-
Gus tides.
And he was one of the last men
to leave.
There is a difference of as much
as 80 feet between high and ebb
tide at Inchon, making the job
especially ticklish.
The Chinese never got close
enough to do any damage.
But with communications out.
the Navy didn't know whether the
Chinese were moving in on the

port city. 1t took no chances and
made every minute count.
Some equipment was loaded
two or three weeks ago. Much of
it was war equipment that could
be dumped into the sea to make
room for troops if necessary.
Hospital Ships Stood BY.
Two United States Navy hos
pital ships stood by. But it was
not necessary for their wards to
be filled by wounded U. N.
soldiers.
One of the ships was filled to
capacity last month with wounded
evacuated from Chinnampo after
the fall of Pyongyang.
But those wounded for the most
part had been treated and re-
turned to their units or sent on
to Japan for further treatment.
The real anxiety of the with
drawal from Inchon came on the
final night-Thursday-when two
heavily loaded LISTS were left on
the mud banks when the tide
rolled out.
Admiral Thackrey said that
night, "I'll be glad when this is
ever but I'm sure the ships will
get out before the Chinese come in"
And he was right. The tide
rolled in and the LISTS went out
to sea.
The Chinese still were some dis
tance off. possibly due to the big
guns of the United States heavy
cruiser Rochester.
The main battery of the big
cruiser, lying just off shore. hurled
cne salvo after another along the
Inchon- Seoul road.
Yesterday helicopter pilot saw
some troops entrenched 10 miles
north of Inchon. But they appar-
emily were not too interested in
coming any closer.
Aerial observers could see no
sign today of the enemy. The
docking facilities along the water
front still were burning. Nothing
was left the Chinese could use.

Commonwealth Chiefs
Meet With Military 10

BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Prime min
listers of six British Commonwealth
nations met secretly today with
top military leaders to discuss CO.
ordination of empire defense plans
with those of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Although no immediate infor-
nation was available on the de-
taIns, it was judged from the
makeup of the conference that
defense of the Pacific and the
Middle East was on the agenda.
The commonwealth is responsible
as a whole for the defense of these
two areas. along with Malaga,
Hong Kong and the Indian Ocean
territory.
The statesmen met formally
with British Defense Minister
Emanuel Shinwell and Sir Will
liam Slim, chief of the imperial
general staff. Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin sat in.

session were Prime Ministers
Clement Attlee of Britain, Robert
G. Menzies of Australia, Sidney G.

and Interior Minister T. E. Donges
of South Africa, deputizing for
ailing Prime Minister Daniel F.

D. S. Senanayake of Ceylon were
absent.

were heartened by Karachi

Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan
of that country is ending his boy
colt of the meeting. He is ex-
pected here tomorrow.
The Pakistani Premier stayed
away from the vital talks because
the other nations would not agree
to discuss the Pakistan-Ind
quarrel over Kashmir, the rich
northern state both nations claim.
Liaquat's decision almost certainly
indicated he had assurance the
dispute would be discussed at least
informally around the conference
table.
Formula Is Offered.
Mr.. Nehru last night laid be-
fore the conference a formula
which. qualified sources reported,
provides for:
l. Admission of Communist
China to the United Nations.
2. A Korean cease-fire and sub
sequent creation of an independ-
ent, united and democratic Ko-
rean state.
Japanese Peace Treaty.
3. Formosa to be turned over
to the duly-recognized govern
ment of China-the Communist
regime.
4. A peace treaty restoring in
dependence to Japan.
5. France to consider with
