7 Indo-China States
Back French Offer,
Cambodia Studies Il
BY the Associated Press

| SAIGON, Indo-C China, July Z.
.-Cambodian Premier Pen Mouth
left his little kingdoms capital
today to carry French proposals
for independence negotiations to
his recalcitrant king, Norodom
Sihancuk.
The move came as Indo-
China's other two French-asSo-
ciated regimeS-Laos and Wet
Nam-announced their support
of the French offer to talk over
proposals aimed at granting the
three states greater freedom.
Pen Mouth said his government
had studied carefully the French
offer and would submit its con-
clusions to the liking. He said
he was unable to tell what action
Norodom might decide on.
Monarch in Hiding.
The Cambodian monarch, who
has threatened war against the
French unless his demands for
complete independence are
granted, is now holed up $50
miles northwest of his capital
of Phnom PENN in an autono-
nous section of Cambodia. The
king has ordered general mobili-
zation of all men up to 40 years
of age in that section.
Although the Cambodians ap-
pear reluctant to agree to the
French offer, prospects for the
negotiations appeared bright af-
ter Laotian officials last night
announced their approval. Wet
Nam chief of state Bao Dai and
his government had declared
their support earlier. Most In
do-Chinese, including even many
Cambodians, repeatedly feel that
the offer will lead to actual talks.
Will Call Cabinet.
The Laotian approval was
voiced in Paris by that king
dom's premier, Prince Souvanne
Phouma. In a statement, the
prince said he would summon
key members of his cabinet to
France to begin talks as soon
as possible. The prince is in
France with his father, ailing
King Sisavang Wong, who is un-
dergoing treatment at a health
resort.
The French proposals received
official United States backing
and Indian Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru welcomed
them as "a good STEP"
A State Department commu-
nique issued in Washington
expressed the belief that the
way is open for relationships
firmly based on mutual interests
and common consent which will
strengthen the French union and
the ability of the French union
forces to carry on their valiant
struggle against Communist
aggression"

Berlin newspaper Telegraf said
today that 46 Communist Ger

executed by Russian firing
squads for "disobeying orders
and resisting the Red Army"
during the June II workers re-
volt in East Germany.
No source was given for the
report, which is considerably high
er than any previous estimate Of
the number of police executions.
Refugee reports have confirmed,
however, that the Red German
police proved in the uprising
that the Russians could net rely
upon them against their Own
people. The ''VopoA"-Vol&S.-

rioters and sometimes ever
loined the rebels. Nearly SOC

Reds Woo Farmers.
Spurred by serious food short
ages, the Communist East Ger
man government held ou.. new
promises to, disgruntled farmers
today to lure them into deliver
ing quotas asked from the new
grain harvest.
Quotas were reduced and more
credit and farm machinery
promised, according to the West

Demonstrations in front of
empty food stores were reported
in many sections. The harvest,
which began last week. is ex-
pected to be slim because so
many farmers have fled to the
West. Those remaining have
been hampered by Communist
red tape and lack Of equipment.
DR.. James B. Conant, United

Germany, came to West Berlin
today for an on-the-Spot study
of the situation caused by the
Russian martial law barricade

tomorrow But most of his two
day stay will be spent in con-
ferences with American and
German officials. including West
Berlin Mayor Ernst Reuter-,
about the strangling Soviet re-
strictions.
The West Berlin Socialist
Party has announced it will lay
before DR.. Conant its proposals
for allied action toward restor-
ing normal communication be-
tween East and West Berlin.
The Russians already have
rejected one allied demand for
an end to restrictions on inter-
sector travel.
There was gunf1re again last
night along the Berlin sector
borders. Peoples Police shot at
two refugees trying to flee into
the west. One escaped. The
other was caught.
A West Berlin schoolboy who
inadvertently bicycled across the
