Training Plan Surprises
French in Indo-Chino

SAIGON. Indo-C China. Mar.
"a (R.-Defense Secretary Will
sons announcement that he and
French Army Chief of Staff Gen.
Paul Ely are discussing sending
an American mission to train the
new Wet Nam army caught
French military circles here by
surprise.
The French military here are
still strongly opposed to the idea.
High sources affirmed today
that there has been no change
in the emphatic view voiced a
month ago by their top COM
mander in Indo- China, Gen.
Henri Navarro. At that time, he
said it was "unthinkable" that
Americans should train the
hedgling Wet NameSe army.
Gen. Navarro and the French
military accepted the recent
nomination of 1t. Gen. John w.
O'Daniel, a veteran of Korea to
head the aid mission here only
on the stipulation that the mis-
sion'S powers not be changed.
So far, the missions chief Job
is supplying the bombers, fight
ers, guns. ammunition and vari-
Gus other items needed to pros
ecute the war. Training of
troops is specifically ruled out.

On Indo-China Talks
With Chinese Reds
~ the A..eeio,sd Pres.

Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia proposed today that the
United States refuse to discuss
the Indo-C China question With
the Chinese Reds at Geneva and
concentrate on seeking a Korean
settlement.
Senator George. senior DEM
ocrat on the Foreign Relations
Committee. said in an interview
he is opposed to giving the Chi
nese Communists even the i'm
piled recognition he @ontended
is involved In negotiating with
them on problems of an area
where their troops are not ci-
rectly involved.
In that connection. he said
the Senate ought to be repre-
sented in a bipartisan way at
next months five-power meeting
at Geneva, Switzerland. to boil
ster the administrations ex-
pressed determination not to let
Red China into the United Ma
tionS.
Chairman Wiley of the For
eign Relations Committee agreed
the Senate ought to be repre-
Sented.

Indo-C China. Senator Wiley said
he thinks both issues must be
settled ultimately with Russia.
III the Kremlin wants peace
which ] doubt then some-
thing may be arranged he said.
But If the Kremlin doesn't want
peace, then nothing will be ac-

Fears Involvement.
Senator George. regarded as
an unofficial spokesman for
Senate Democrats on foreign
policy matters. said he hopes this
country doesn't become too
deeply involved in Indo- China.
I'VE should exercise extreme
caution and care not to over
commit ourselves there in mate
rails and supplies and we should
never become committed to fur
nish manpower there. he said in
commenting on Mr.. Dulles an
nouncement yesterday that the
United States would respond
rapidly to any new French re-
quests for more military supplies
needed to defeat Communist
forces In Indo-C China.
Along the same lines, Senator

Committee member. said I in a
separate interview he believes

every available Sighting man for
another mass assault on that
French Union fortress in the
mountainous Thai country west
Of here. Z
Rumors circulated in Hanoi
that the Communist COM
mander- n-chief, Gen. Vo
Nguyen Clap. had sworn to raise
force Of 100000 men If neces-
sary to try to crush the fortress.
French sources don't believe he
can raise anywhere near that
number to add to the estimated
40, 900 to 10000 already believed
around Diem Bien Phu.
The rebels lost an estimated
5000 dead and 5000 wounded in
four days of furious suicide
charges on Diem Bien Phu early
last week. They grabbed north
ern defense outpoSts from the
French, then retired to the hills
around the plain.
Since then the major activity
in the area has been a continu-
Gus artillery duel between the
two forces and round-the-clock
French air attacks on the rebel
positions.
A fierce battle was reported 10

claiming the defeat of two bat
talionS of the elite Wet Mini

Secretary Of State Dulles told

U. 5. May Send Group
ToIndo-China 10 Help
Train Native Troops
BY John A. Giles

The possible dispatch of
United States technical adj
visers" to Indo-C China to help
train native troops to fight the
Communists is under discussion
here.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
told a news conference yesterday
that such talks, are under way.
American military men, he add
ed. believe such training should
be done more aggressively" and
should oe organized on big
basis"
The possibility Of sending the
trainers to the southeast Asia
country where q war between
French Union forces and the
Reds has ragged for seven years
is being discussed with Gen. Paul
Ely. French chief of staff, dur
ing his current visit here.
Mr.. Wilson would not say how
many Americans are contem-
plated for the training mission.
Air Force Mission.
There now are about $50 Air
Force technicianS in Indo- Chino
who repair American B-26 light
bomberS and other aircraft which
have been furnished the French
and Viet-Namese forces over the
last three years. However, Presi-
dent Eisenhower has said their
work will be completed by June
and that they will return home
then.
Mr.. Wilson was asked whether
the prospective training mission
would be similar to that which
Gen. James A. Van Fleet headed
in Greece. That mission built
up the Greek army, which was
under attack from Reds in the
north.
The secretary said what he
had IN mind would be some
what similar" to the Van Fleet
group but he pointed out prob
lens in Indo-China might be
quite different.
The French are receptive" to
the idea of speeding UP the
training and enlarging the num-
Der Of native troops. he added.
But he did not indicate whether
the French have approved the
sending of American trainers to
replace Frenchmen.
"The battle in Indo-China is
critical and I expect the French
to win," Mr.. Wilson said. They
deserve a great deal of credit
for the gallant fight they are
putting up.
There is no question that
the Communists are putting on
an extra drive before Geneva
just like they did in Korea be-
fore the armistice." Mr.. Wilson
said, in referring to present
sharp attacks against the French
Union troops.
Native Aid Essential.
THE war in Indo-C China has
been going on a long time
seven or eight years-and the
hope Of bringing it to a final
conclusion rests on the partici-
patton OF the native population,
their training and their will to
win and to keep their country a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-24

part Of the free world" he con-
tinued.
Effective and aggressive
training Of Indo- Chinese troops
is essential If the war Is to be
brought to a successful conclu-
sion. ;"
such training in itself would
not involve US in any war;" he
declared. adding at another point
that it would mot take US In any
deeper than we are now" This
was a reference to the Air Force
technicians already on the scene.
He also disclosed that If the
French request more aircraft and
they are the kind we can send. !"
they probably will be supplied.
He said that hasn't been de-
termined yet. however.
Mr.. Wilson said there were
various ways Of speeding the
Indo- China troop training. He
added part Of. the problem" now
was that the present system
takes French combat troops out
Of action to train the natives.

to Indo- China, but he said today
