the attack. Many of the troops

employed.

at three battalions. apparently

bombs on villages where they were
believed hiding. Casualties were
reported light.
Choben is in the Choben valley
which skirts the French perimeter

The French were reported to
have asked Malcolm Macdonald,

Southeast Asia, for quick British
air and naval help in event of
such an attack. Mr.. Macdonald
flew back to Singapore today after
