scored another first today with the
release of a report by response

reveals that the nose, ears, throat

its kind ever published about a Gig
arctic, gives the findings of con-
continuing study by a competent
medical specialist and his staff.
The report states that early this

French Forces Brace
For Heaviest Battle
BY the Associoied Press

WITH FRENCH UNION
FORCES AT MA SAN, Indo-
China, Nov. 24.-With grim con-
fidence, French Union troops in
this dusty little fortress waited
today for what may well be the
bloodiest and biggest battle thus
far of the Indo- China war.
Most staff officers considered
that a showdown fight would
come within 48 hours with an
estimated $4,000 Communicated
Wet Mimi troops converging here.
All was in readiness at this
bristling outpost lit miles west
of Hanoi.
The French yesterday pulled
the last of their forces from the
hilltop town of Sonia, Is miles
northwest of here, back to Ma San
and made ready for a last-ditch
defense.
For weeks the French-Viet-
namese garrison here had been
building formidable defense posi-
tions around the little airstrip
which is the heart of this strongest
French Union bastion in North
west ndo-China.
Even yesterday, refugee coolies
were hard at work burning away
the last of the tall grass in the
defense perimeter. The powerful
Wet Mini units were certain to
meet heavy French fire. Men,
munitions and supplies poured in
by plane. Civilian refugees were
taken out to Hanoi on the return
trips.
At stake in this crucial battle
is the mountainous country of
the pro-French Thai tribes and
its 100000 tribesmen. If Ma San
falls, it would be a grave blow
to French prestige and would
make the Red River delta, sur
rounding Hanoi, the final French
defense perimeter in North Indo-
China.

Soviet Pours Supplies
10 Indo-China Reds,
u. 5. Officials Report
BY john N. Hightower
Assoeiotsd Press Stoff Writer

State and Defense Department
experts said today that Russian
made war supplies are pouring
into Indo-China over tranSconti-
mental Red railway system pro-
tected from Allied air attack be-
cause it cuts through China.
Officials said this gives new
striking power to Communist
forces in Indo-China, and pre-
SentS a new, sinister threat to-
Burma and Thailand.
Informants said evidence that
the Wet Mimi (Communists) were
receiving Russian supplies was
found in a recent raid by French
and native defense forces on a
Communist supply center.
Allied raiders captured Is tons
of RusSian-made mortar shells and
four Russian "Molotova" trucks
with gasoline engines, among 9TH
er items.
The presence of these 2l2
trucks at the Wet Mimi base of
operations means that Red forces
in Indo-C China must now be re-
garded as far more mobile than
ever and thus creates a new de-
gree of danger for all Southeast
Asia. officials said.
These informants declared that
Phu-Tho, where the captured war
materials were concentrated. isl
about 400 miles from the Burma
border and about $50 miles from
the Thai border.
In the raid many other types
of weapons and ammunition were
also captured. including supplies
of French, American, British and
japanese manufacture, as well asI
Chinese materials.
But interest here centered on
the four Russian trucks because
of their possible strategic signifi-
canoe. The fact that they are in
1ndo-China at all, responsible au-
thorities said, means that the Red
railway line and Indo-C Chinese
supply routes are functioning
against all obstacles.
The last link of the rail line
from the Chinese supply center of
Manning in Kwangsi province,
China, to Chen-kuan on the
hina-Indo-C China border, dis
tance of 120 miles, was completed
in OctOhnr 1Q51 TT was estimated
to be capable of carrying many
thousands of tons per month to
Indo-C Chinese Red forces.
But allied leaders figured that
any haulage of more than 80 miles
from the rail terminal to various
Vet Mimi supply centers would be
highly vulnerable to air attack
The French have uncontested use
of the air.
