For the next few years. at least,
the prospects appear good, barring
direct Russian participation. The
Asian Communists, because Of
their small native industrial Ca
pacities, must draw on Russia for
heavy equipment and aircraft. It
seems doubtful that Russian pro-

can adequately supply their needs.
To Southeast Asians, the Chi

less formidable than it did a
year ago. Begged down in Korea.
Peking is not so likely to risk
a military adventure to the south.
There is a further deterrent
in the American warning that
further aggression will bring re-
taliation.
These factors have created a
new, realistic framework for the
planning against a possible Chi

France goes to the polls next
Sunday in an election which could
be decisive for the country's fu-
ture and which could shape
events for Europe and much OF
the rest of the world.
The French electorate-25 mil
lion or more-will choose a Ma
tional Assembly of 627 deputies
under a new electoral system de-
signed to knock the Communists
out of their position as the larg-
est party in the Legislature.
The Communists polled 6 mil
lion popular votes in 1916, in the
first election under the constitu-
ton of the Fourth Republic. They
captured 1877 seats in the Assem-
bly,, more than any other party
but they have been excluded from

New System Devised
The election system just abol-
lShed was simple. It was propor-
tional representation, under which
each party won a number OF seats
in the Assembly proportionate to
the votes cast for it. The system
favored the Communists, whose
votes were thinly spread all over
France, and who could win some
seats in election districts where
they would have won nothing
under a majority rule system.
The new law provides the
greatest incentive for the forma-
ton of coalitions.
Voting will be by election dis

Dartments which are split into
two or more districts.

different parties have the right

The British government. which

military terms, still insists that
the command of the Mediterra-

The French are complaining

Lessons Learned
In Korean War
Point the Way
By Seymour TOPPING

SAIGON, IndoL China.-During
the past six months, Western
military commanders in Korea
and Indo- China have learned how
to throw back the infantry masses
of the Asian Communists,
The solution of this problem
has been of incalculable import
ance in the struggle to block COM
plete Communist domination of
the Asiatic mainland. Southeast
Asia now faces the colossus to
the North with less fear.
Western prospects of finding
military means to contain the
Communists in Asia seemed bleak
during the black days of last De-
|cember, when the Chinese Com
|munists Swarmed locust-fashion
over the Korean countryside to-
ward the U. N. beachhead around
Pusan. In North Indo-C China, out
numbered and frightened, the
French awaited Ho Chi Minis
assault on Hanoi.
But in the weeks that followed,
Western leadership learned how
to cope with the Communist in
fantry hordes. In Korea, Gen.
Macarthur and his field COM
mander, Gen. Matthew Ridgway,
found some of the means. So did
Gen. Jean de Lattre de Tassigny
in Indo-C China.
Mobility and Firepower
The new tactics were not revo-
lutionary in any single aspect.
They were based on greater unit
mobility. better selection and util-
ization of battle terrain-and,
most OF all. on effective applica-
ton of superior firepower by
ground, air and naval forces.
On the offensive, the U. N.
forces jabbed forward to keep the
enemy off balance. When the
Communists passed to the often
sive in overwhelming strength,
U. N. forces rolled back before
the punch. The punch soon ex-
pended itself when the primitive
Communist supply lines became
overextended. Meanwhile, superior
U. N. flrepower exacted a heavy
toll.
French tactics in North Indo-
China were somewhat different,
but equally well designed to meet
the onslaught of the Communist
led army. To blunt the Wet Mini
hammer blows, mobile infantry
artillery groups were formed to
rove behind a system of fortifica-
tionS erected athwart the noun
tain passes that lead to the
French-held Red River delta. The
French were thus able to concen-
trate their troops. strength and

points.
