AUGUSTA, Ca, April 20.-
Tert OF statement By Secretary
of State Dulles folloWing a con-
terence yesterday aDith Presi-
dent Eisenhower:
I have reported to President
Eisenhower on my recent trip
to London and Paris, where
I discussed the position in
o-China.
I found in both capitals rec
ognition that the armed Com
munist threat endangered vital
free world interests and made
it appropriate that the free
nations most Immediately con-
cerned should explore the pos
sibility of establishing a col
lective defense. This same
recognition had already been
expressed by other nations of
the Southeast Asian area.
The Communists in Wet
Nam, spurred on by Red
China, have acted on the as
sumption that a quick. easy
victory at Dien Bien Phu
would open then the door to
a rapid Communist advance
to domination Of the entire
Southeast Asian area. They
concluded they were justified
in recklessly squandering the
lives of their subjects to con-
quer this strong point 50 as to
confront the Geneva confer
ence with what could be por-
trayed as both a military and
political victory for commu-
niSm.
The gallant defenders Of
Diem Bien Phu have done
their part to assure a frustra-
ton of the Communist STRAIT
egy. They have taken a toll
such that, from a military
standpoint, the attackers al
ready lost more than they
could win. From a political
standpoint, the defenders of
Dien Bien Phu have drama
tized the struggle for freedom
so that the free world sees
more clearly than ever before
the issues that are at stake
and once again is drawing
closer together in unity of

U. 5. Officials Hoping
For Regional Alliance
In Middle East, Asia
Consider Method Only
Way Of Giving MiIitory
Aid to Pukistun
By Gornett D. Horner

American officials are hoping
for creation of regional defense
alliance in the Middle East and
South Asia.
They see such an alliance as
smoothing the way for giving
American military assistance to
Pakistan. They consider it would
serve as sort of half a Loaf
substitute for the dormant Mid
die East Defense Command
| project.
Pakistan. one of the key coun-
tries in that strategic area, has
made clear that she would like
to have American assistance In
strengthening her armed forces.
U. S. Officials in Favor.
While no decisions have been
made, top American officials are
favorably disposed to the idea.
But they have been concerned
about protests of Indian Prime
Minister Nehru that this would
upset the balance of power there
and constitute a threat to India.
These officials believe Amer
lean aid to a regional alliance
to which Pakistan is a member
would be less offensive to India
than an isolated program of
building up Pakistan's armed
forces individually.
Such a regional defense or
gani2ation would be open to
India whenever she might want
to join, it was pointed out.
Could Eventually Expand.
| 1t also would serve as a nu-
cleuS for eventual expansion into
something like the Middle East
defense command project if that
should ever become possible
The United States. Great Brit
ain, France and Turkey pro-
posed the larger organization
some two years ago. But Egypt
and some other Arab states have
held back from it.
PakiStan reduced her armed
forces about a year ago, on the
grounds that she could not af-
ford to maintain as effective a
| force as she would like. Ameri-
can concern about the reduction
was expressed to Pakistan at the
time.
AS our officials see it. the aid
PakiStan would like to get from
this country now would just
about build up her defenses to
the point they had reached be-
fore the cut back. Thus they
would not pose any new threat
to India, it is pointed out.

Man Believed Dead Since 7948
Found Living Near District
Californian Tells
Dramatic Story Of
Fuiline Eyesieht
By Hermon r. Schoden

The suicide disappearance
five years ago of an Oakland
(Calif) former public housing
official was cleared up today
when he was found living in
suburban Maryland.
Harry A. Barbour, 81, readily
unfolded his identity to a Star
reporter and ended a mystery
which had plagued Oakland au-
thorities. uncertain whether he
was dead or alive.
The search began November 8,
1948, with a suicide letter mailed
to his wife. Frances. For days
police looked for his body and
when none turned up, asked the
inevitable question: Was it a
hoax by a man fleeing from
something?
Today Mr.. Barbour answered
the question with reluctance
prompted only by an unwilling
ness to subject his wife and two
daughters to more publicity
For they are together again in a
reunion as strange as was the
dramatic separation.
In Oakland and in suburban
Richmond where he lived, Mr..
Barbour is remembered as a
former executive director of the
Federal Public Housing Author
ity whose boast was the con-
Struction of $4,000 housing units
and the biggest operation of any
such authority in the Nation.
He was known as real estate
man, a public relations man who
dabbled in politics Che lost a
close race for the State assem-
bly,, and a lobbyist in that as
sembly. His tall figure, white
hair and cultured manner were
familiar to many.
Why did he run away from so
many whom he still calls his
finest friends?
