Defenders Of Laos
Prepare for Stand
:
Against Invaders
By the As.eeie,.d Pres,

~ Ino AASoeiotOo PTOSS
HANOI, Indo- China, April 10.
French and Laotian troops
chose the Des Jarres Plain today
for a stand against Communist
led Wet Mini columns knitting
toward the heart of Laos. They
abandoned the defense Of the
little town Of xiengkhouang. 18
miles south Of the plain.
The possibility of a big battle
loomed for the first time since
the Wet Mini invaded Laos in
force last week from neighboring
Wet Nam. a sister nation in
the associated states of Indo-
China.
The first 200 or more Of the
French and Laotian garrison
which evacuated Samneua Mon
day reached the plain today.
They had made a tortuous hike
of 100 miles or more through the
dense jungle over mountain
paths from Samneua, about 100
miles southwest of Hanoi.
Others in the column plodding
toward the plain-a column de-
Scribed as several miles long
were expected to reach the newly
fortified French-Laotian posi-
tions momentarily.
TwO-PrOnged Attack Seen.
Thousands of Wet Mimi SOL
diers pursued the garrison col
umn. From the east, at the same
time, came a Wet Mini division
moving on Xiengkhouang from
the coast of AMMAN, a Wet Nam
province on the South China
Sea. ...~
This development poised the
threat that the French and Lao
tians on the Des Jarres Plain
might be attacked simultane-
ously by the Wet Mimi from
northern Laos and those moving
from AMMAN. There appeared
no doubt that the French and
LaotianS would be heavily out
numbered.
The French moved Laotian
civilians out of Xiengkhouang to-
day. A town of 5000, it lies only
80 miles southeast of King
Sisavang Vong's royal capital of
Luangprabang.
The overall situation in Laos
looked dark. The Wet Mimi
were apparently travelling at top
speed, aiming to take over as
much of the kingdom as pos
sible before the big rains start
hampering the fighting.
Rains Could Start Soon:
But when the rains start is
always problematcial. In Indo-
China, the big downpour some
times comes late in April. and
other times not until late June.
The Wet Mimi have already
announced they invaded Laos to
liberate its peoples and those
of neighboring Cambodia in order
to merge all into a Communist
state of Wet Nam"
The French and Laotians,
though outnumbered, have big
edge in equipment. l.-.'
They are supplied with Amer
ican-made planes, mobile limits
and all modern implements of
war. The Wet Mimi fight with
mortarS. machine-guns, rifles,
pistols, grenades and knives.
In Moscow, the Soviet army
newspaper Red Star said the
Wet Mimi forces are fighting for
just cause, for freedom and
independence of the Wet Nam
people. United States aid sent
to do-China, it said, is mot
saving the French forces from

Allied Infantrymen
Smash Red Attack,
On Alert for More
BY the ASsoeiaied Press


SEOUL, Sunday, April 49,
American and Belgian troops of
the United States 3rd Division
smashed a many pronged
Chinese Red attack along a two
mile front today.
A corps spokesman said up to
$50 Reds-a full battalion
charged Allied positions north
west of Kumhwa on the central
front after Red artillery and
motor fire pounded the positions
intensely for 20 minutes.
The fight ragged for an hour
and 10 minutes, the spokesman
said. When it was over Allied
troops counted % Communist
bodies and estimated Is more
were killed and So wounded.
Mopping up Of Red stragglerS

bitter pre-dawn fight yesterday.
A 7th Division spokesman said
600 Reds were killed and wound
ed in the western front battle,
when Allied troops beat off an
attack after the Communists
surged into U. N. trenches.
He said a total of 1882 Reds
have been killed or wounded
since the Reds first hit Pork Chop
Thursday night.
Allied infantrymen all across
the 155-mile front were alert for
possible Red moves to make a
show of armed might while U. N.
and Red liaiSon officers met at
Panmunjom to discuss resuming
stalled truce talks.
Many officers and enlisted men
believed the Reds would throw
a series of bloody attacks timed
with the truce discussions.
Pork Chop StOrmed.
Two hundred Chinese Reds
stormed Pork Chop hill on the
Western front before dawn yes
terday for the second successive
night. The Reds smashed into
trenches of the United States
Seventh division before being
turned back 'in hand hand

After daybreak, allied artil-
1ery caught 100 Reds in the
open near Pork Chop. Eighth
Army briefing officers said near
ly every Red was killed or
wounded.
Later yesterday, allied fighter
bombers dumped 40 tons of
bombs and flaming jellied gaso-
line on Reds who had regrouped
in their own lines north of

Alaska, Canada Vie For Power From
Yukon r. Headwaters = Alaska Has
Plant Site, Canada Has Water Source

their feeling it is their turn for
enjoying large hydroelectric de-
velopment. They are thinking of
the $60O,OOO,0OO installation now
going in 800 miles north of Van
couver in British Columbia.
Built by the Aluminium Com
pany of Canada, Ltd, over an area
almost as large as France, the
Kitimat development is the same
sort of deal-poWer on the coast
from high waters across the noun
tains.
Kitimat will develop 100000
kilowatts of power for about one
mill per XIV. Grand Coulee in
Washington develops 100000 XIV
for about two mills per XVI 1t
is said the Taiya or Taku pro-
jects would provide electricity at
an even cheaper rate-probably
because less earth-moving would
be involved.
At any rate, no matter how the
"jurisdictional" problem for the
Yukon headwaters is solved, AL
aska should gain something pretty
big out Of it. For it would be the
largest industrial development yet
to take place in the northland.
Observation-Disclosures power would
not be 50 staggering as Kitimat or
Grand Coulee, perhaps. Alcoa says
it would be 100000 XIV. The Can
adam firms describe it as 100000
horsepower.
In either case southeastern AL
aska would derive a new city at
the site Of the smelter, with a
population Of around 10000 en-
ployed the year around.
There are people who think this
sort Of thing is what will finally
lift Alaska out Of her chronic
slump and make her hum. If so,
the greater part Of the territory
may benefit. Even the arctic re-
gions have sizeable hydroelectric
potentials.
We remember the report made
by Ralph Browne Of the Alaska
Development Board, for example,
which defined a number of pos
sible projects in Northwest Alas
ka. One Of these is right next
door to the in-producing region
at the end of Seward Peninsula
where the Imuruk Basin can be
easily damned and provide album
dant power for a large surround
ing heavily-mineralized area.

The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1953-07-24
BY LOUIS r. HUBER

special NOME nugget Correspondent
JUNEAU, Alaska-There's pow
err to burn in the lakes and streams
of the Yukon River headwaters
over the border in Canada near
hear.
Question is, who's going to burn
it?
American and Canadian firms
both have expressed their earnest
desire to do so. Both have plans
for building huge metallurgical
plants to be run by this power.
Because of the geography of
this region, hydroelectric plants
can only be built on the Alaska
side Of the border-at sea level,
on the coast, where a tremendous
head" or pressure Of water can
be developed.
But the water, thousands Of feet
high and on the far side Of coastal
mountains, lies in Canada.
Some kind of cooperative ar
rangement should be worked out,
it would seem. So far in this Solo
mon like situation, however, only
three major developments have
occurred.
First, the Aluminium Company
of America late last summer an
nounced it would drive a couple
Of 1-miIe-long tunnels through
the mountains at Taiya Inlet near
Skagway, in order to reach and
tap the Yukon's source waters
--- provided Canadian permission
were granted.
Alcoa said it would build a
S40O,OOO,O0O power plant and alu-
minum Smelter. To this it would
bring large tonnages Of alumina
from other parts Of the world.
Second, Canada unofficially but
firmly turned a cold shoulder to
this proposal. 1t would be a fine
thing, Canada limited, if she were
to turn all her mighty waters
over to enrich an American COM
pany!
Third, a combination of large
Canadian mining firms came into
the picture by obtaining lease
transfers and contracting for de-
velopment Of large iron deposit
at Klukwan, near Haines, Alaska.
This is only a few miles from the
Alcoa Taiya project.
The Canadian firms also an
nounced they intend to harness
the Yukon's headWaters by means
Of a plan similar to Alcoa' s-but
situated on the Taku River IS
miles east of here.
Spearheaded by Quebec Metal
lurgical Industries, an affiliate Of
Ventures, Ltd, of Toronto, the
Canadian enterprisers already are
probing the iron deposit-said to
contain several billion tons Of ii
taniferous magnetic - and are
making a survey Of the Yukon's
sources.
Although the Klukwan iron de-
post seems to be the chief objec-
tive Of the Canadian venture, the
smelter that would be built near
here would be used also for alu-
nina reduction and for smelling
nearby potential sources of man
ganese, molybdenum, nickel, CO.
bait, tungsten and chromite.
