Plon to Help France
BY the Associated Press

An extra $685. million to help
France end the war with the
Communists in Indo-C China was
reported today to have been rec
commended by the National Sc
curity Council.
Round-sum figures were first
disclosed here, and French Pre-
mier Laniel later specified the
total in a Paris statement. He
expressed great satisfaction at
the recommendation.
The American funds would en-
able France to transfer nine bat
talions of troops from Europe to
Indo-C China to lead a new cam
paign against the Communist
led guerrillas.
Highly placed officials who re-
ported this said the Security
Council, the Governments top
policymaking body. decided on
this move yesterday at a review
of the Indo-China war.
Eisenhower Approval Seen.
President Eisenhower is ex-
pected to approve the recommen-
dation after discussing it with
key congressional leaders to de-
termine how to scrape up the
money.
Preliminary estimates indicate
the new aid program would be in
addition to the $400 million
Congress appropriated for Indo-
China this year.
The Eisenhower military and
foreign policy leaders are re-
ported convinced the United
States has no alternative but to
back the new French Indo-
China program if it wants to
keep this strategic Southeast
Asia nation out of Communist
hands.
Reds Hold Large Areas.
Communicated rebels, sup
piled by Red China, already
have conquered large areas OF
1ndo-China during an eight
year campaign and have tied
up more than $4,000 French
and loyal Indo-Chinese troops
The new French plan for
winding up the conflict was put
forward by the government
headed by Premier Laniel. Its
author is Gen. Henri Navarro
who drafted it after a visit to
the battlefront.
The offer to move nine bat
talions of French troops to Indo-
China to reinforce units already
there is reported to be the prin-
cipal feature of this new
strategy.
But the French are said to
have promised also that they
will try to build up the loyal
Vietnam army further so it,
along with Cambodian and Laos
forces, can eventually take over
the burden of defending Indo-
China.
independence Promised.
To increase popular native
support for the Indo-China con-
f1ict, the French government also
has pledged to grant complete
and lasting independence to the
three Indo-China states.
The Laniel government Sc
cretly appealed to the United
States for additional aid money
about six weeks ago. The Ma
tional Security Council and other
key government agencies have
been weighing the problem since
then.
Gen. Eisenhower discussed the
strategy and cost aspects with
Secretary of State Dulles, Off
cials said, during a foreign policy
review Monday at his summer
vacation White House in Denver.
He had opportunity for brief
ing on the Security Council
views on a quick trip to the Cap
ital today.
Mr.. Dulles said in speech in
st. Louis last Wednesday that
full-scale Chinese Communist in
tervention in Indo-China might
provoke the West to retaliate
against the China mainland.

Two Young Fugitiyes

Two of eight boys who escaped
from the Receiving Home last
night were arrested today in two
stolen automobiles in Vir-
ginia and the other in Maryland.
The first arrest report came
from Ashland, Va, where a To-
year-old colored boy was picked
up. Ironically. he was driving
the car of a Washington police
man. Only a week ago the boy
had been sent to the home for
unauthorized use of another car.
After last nights break he had
taken a 1949 convertible from the

lice. He also had fed in a WASH
