3 ii Congress Doubt
U. 5. Troops Would
Fight in Indo-China
By Inc Assoeiossei Pres,

Senator Mansfield, Democrat.
Of Montana said today the loss
Of Indo-C China would be q vital
blow TO American security. but
he added there was little more
Congress could do to help France
save IT..
He and two House members in
separate interviews said Congress
probably would be willing to sup
port further financial aid for
French and native Wet Namese
forces. but would balk at send
ing any American combat forces
to the Asian peninsula.
SO far as Is known, no pro-
posal for using American COM
bat forces has been discussed
with congressional leaders. The
French are reported to have re-
quested more aircraft and more
non-combat American techni-
clans.
Great Value to Reds.
'sIndo-C China" said Senator
Mansfield, "is probably the most
important single area in the
world today.
TITS loss would threaten all Of
Southeast Asia-with hundreds
Of millions Of people and great
quantities of raw materials
which the. Communists want"
Senator Mansfield. a member
Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. said the only thing Con-
gress could do would be ITO wait
and have trust" in the top
French generals. He said the ad-
ministration should consult Con-
gress beforehand if it decides
on any drastic procedures" to
help the French.
U. s. Help Seen Possible.
Representative Richards, DEM
ocrat, of South Carolina said IF
the French gave (Secretary Of
State) Dulles amy real support"
on stalemated plans to form an
international army in Europe,
they could Just about count on
the United States. in my opin-
ion. to go all out In helping
them" in Indo-C China.
Representative Vorys. Repub-
lican. Of Ohio. said French de-
termination should have been
stiffened by Secretary Dulles no.
tice that direct Chinese Com
munist Intervention in Indo-
China would bring q risk Of
