Vietninh Units Withdraw, From Heart Of Laos

HANOI, Indochina, R-Sizable Communist led Vietminh units were reported withdrawing yes terday from the heart of Laos after overrunning more than a third of the Indochinese kingdom. The move may - or may not - mean an end of the 25-day Red invasion of the peaceful little French associated state at the back door of Thailand and Bur ma.
 French spokesmen cautiously declined to estimate the scope of the withdrawal but said the num- Der of rebel troops involved was impressive. The Vietminh units were pulling out of areas around the royal residence city of Luang Pr b n g, the French-fortified Plaine des Jarres and Zienghou- ang to the south.
 Two reasons were advanced here for the Red pullback:
 The Reds apparently had over stretched their supply lines in their 2O0-mile dash south and west from Viet Nam, another of the three Indochinese states.
 They also had lost their race to overrun Laos before the seasonal Monsoon rains. These are now be- ginning with ever-mounting force.
 Whether or not the enemy movement northward developes into a general withdrawal, the threat to Laos had lessened and possibly even ended for the pres ent

SEOUL, R-The mighty battle ship New Jersey and the cruiser Bremerton steamed boldly into Wonsan Harbor on Korea's east coast Thursday and bombarded the battered Communist port and communications hub for the sec ond time in three days.
 Big guns of the two warships and an escorting destroyer opened up few hours after dive bombers heavily damaged an important Red metal processing plant in northeastern Korea, only 100 miles from Siberia.
 Sea and air forces provided vir- tually the only action. Fighting along the twisting 155-mile battle front was at a virtual standstill.

Expect Increase in Military Deliveries To Free Nations

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of Defense Wilson told Congress Thursday the Eisenhower admin istration expects that actual de- iveries of military equipment to free nations will be increased sharply in the 12 months begin ming July 1.
 He said the aim is to deliver five billion dollars worth of mill tary supplies to US. allies all over the world compared to S3,800,- 000,000 in anticipated actual de- liveries during the current fiscal year ending June 31.
 Wilson and Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were at the capitol to urge approval of President Eisenhow- CTS request for $5,828,O00,000 in new foreign aid funds.
 Bradley said the amount Eisen- hover asked for overseas military aid was "considerably less" than desired by Defense chiefs. He said he saw nothing in the world situ- ation to warrant any slackening of effort, adding that Russia's atomic capacity is rapidly inn proving" and "the possibility of war is still with us."

sure problems which now are a
source Of urgent concern in sew
eral friendly countries in Europe.
Cath 0 lie leaders consistently
have urged that the United States
take the lead in easing Europe's
refugee problem and have pointed
out that continuance of the pa
thetic situation provides a fertile
feeding ground for communism.
Mssr. Edward z. Swsnstron1, ex-
ecutive director Of War Relief
Services - National Catholic Wei
fare Conference, expressed grsfifi-
cation that President Eisenhower
had recommended the legislation
and voiced the hope that Congress
would give it speedy and favor

program under the administration
Of President Harry S. Truman,
WRS-N.C.W.C. sponsored the en-

Catholic leaders, along with 9TH

han, author-historian, who with
his wife, Elizabeth, is collabor-

Was a Slave
Mr.. Sheehan recounted that
Toussaint was brought to New
York as a slave from Haiti in 1877,
two years after st. Peters Church
was founded as. the first Catholic
parish in New York. The story
of his life is entwined with the
early history of the Catholic
Church in this city, Mr.. Sheehan
said. Upon his death in 1853, the
pastor of st. Peters eulogized him
as the most outstanding Catholic
layman in the city, the historian
said, and contemporary news
paper counts speak of MS
charity, :'integrity" and genius.
Many incidents attest 10 Tous-
saints personal courage, Mr.. Shee-
han said. Among these was the
fact that during the yellow fever
epidemic of 1895 when local resi-
dents fled TO tent towns outside
the city limits, Toussaint was one
of fhe few New Workers who yen-
tured across the hsrricades at
Maiden Lane to tend the needs OF
the fever victims, the historian re-
called.
Barred from public conveyances
because of his color, Toussaint was
familiar figure, walking about
the streets of the city and stopping
often to converse with many of
the leading citizens of the time,
Mr.. Sheehan said. Much of the ma
terial for his biography is being
collected from correspondence he
had with members of famous fam
lilies who looked upon him as an
adviser and confidante, Mr.. Shee-
han said.

X. OF C.. Told
Visit By Tito
Not Planned

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - QNC) -
The State Department has assured
the Knights of Columbus that it
has no plans to invite President
Tito of Yugoslavia to visit the Unit
ed States.
At the time of Marshal Tito's
visit to Great Britain in mid.March,
some newsmen speculated that the
Yugoslav dictator would also be in
vited to America. Joseph F. Lamb,
Supreme Secretary of the Knights
of Columbus, wrote to Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles declaring
the hope of the Knights that such
rumors were unfounded.
In a letter released by the K. of
c. national headquarters here,
Henry P. Leverich, State Depart
ment officer in charge of Balkan
Affairs, wrote that 'the question
of possible invitation to Marshal
Tito to visit this country has not
arisen and is not under considera-
tion at this time" Writing in be-
half of Secretary Dulles, Mr.. Lev
erich thanked Supreme Secretary
Lamb ''for making the views of
your organization available to the
Department"
In his original letter, Mr.. Lamb
had written that the Supreme
Board of Directors of the Knights
of Columbus was not aware of any
suggestion from a responsible of
ficial source that the communist
leader might be asked to visit
America.
Mr.. Lamb concluded his letter
by stating that the stand against
Tito represented the convictions OF
the more than $4,000 members OF
the Knights of Columbus, and said
that the organization would wei.

controlled by the Communist Par
ty. The move followed an earlier
order by the board, requiring the
u. S. Communist Party to register
with the Justice Department under
the Internal Security Act of 1850
as a Soviet-controlled organization.
Defiance of the first order by
Communist Party legal representa-
tives was repeated by groups desig
mated by Mr.. Brownell as Red
fronts. Spokesman for these groups
declared that any such order from
the Subversive Activities Control
Board would be unconstitutional
and that the order would not be
obeyed
In his petitions against the
groups, the attorney general stat
ed: "V'e maintain that the front
organizations are the tools of the
Communist Party :. They follow
its lead without deviation"
The organizations named in the
petitions are:
The Labor Youth League (de-
scribed in the petition as chief
communist organizer for youth and
successor to the Young Communist
League); International Workers Or
der, Inc. described as chief fund
raiser for the Communist Party,
set up to take over party under
ground work if necessary; Civil
Rights Congress charged with pro
viding bail and defense funds for
communists and fellow travelers);
American Committee for Protec-
ton of the Foreign Born described
as promoting legislation favored
by the party; National Council of
American-S0viet Friendship, Inc;
Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Commit
tee charged with bringing Euro
pean Communists to America); the
Jefferson School of Social Science
(whose principal function was said
to be to instruct students to preach
the overthrow of capitalism in the
us. by revolution); United May
Day Committee; the Veterans OF

Council on African Affairs, Inc.
described as creating and further.
ing hostility among us. Negroes
for the purpose of Communist in,
doctrination); Committee for q
Democratic Far Eastern Policy and
the American Slav Congress (both
not active at the present time)
Mr.. Brownell said that similar
petitions would be filed soon
against other organizations consid.
cred by the Justice Department as
Communist fronts.
