Eisenhower Warns
Against Premature
Ideas on U. 5. Role
By jones E. Roper

President Eisenhower warned
today against any assumptions
that the United States has gone
along with a French Communist
settlement on Indo-C China.
The President told reporters
at a news conference that they
should not assume too much on
the Indo-C Chinese situation until
the whole picture is known.
His statement was made as
Western Big Three talks in
Paris broke up and Secretary
of State Dulles headed home to
report to the President.
Gen. Eisenhower told his news
conference that Mr.. Dulles trip
to Paris has shown our great
concern for the allied united
front. The President said Mr..
Dulles wanted to see whether
there was a common front in
principle among the United
States, France and Great Brit
ain.
Gen. Eisenhower stopped short
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-07-14

of saying what Mr.. Dulles, in
fact, found.
The President spoke to report
ers shortly before the Paris talks
formally ended, but presumably
had been informed by Mr.. Dulles
of the situation there.
Query In Guarantee.
A reporter asked Gen. Eisen-
hover whether it was safe to
assume the accuracy of Paris
dispatches indicating that the
United States was prepared to
guarantee the southern half of
Wet Nam. This inquiry was
based on the thought that the
French were about to turn over
northern Wet Nam to the Reds
in return for a cease-f1re.
Gen. Eisenhower replied that
when any proposition is the sub
ject of a difficult international
conference, comment in advance
is inappropriate.
We should make no aSSump-
tons until we have the answer.
the President said. An aSsump-
ton on one part, he said, might
prejudice all others.
On more general foreign prob
lens, Gen. Eisenhower said the
question of Malaga and other
Western controlled areas in
Southeast Asia is a problem
completely global in nature.
The problems of all Asia, he
said, are problems for the world.
viii Press Atom Plan.
The President asserted anew
that he was not going to let his
atoms-for-peace proposal die If
he possibly could help it.
He was asked whether he and
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, agreed during their
recent White House conference to
go ahead with the atom pool plan
even though Russia was baking.
h Gen. Eisenhower replied sthat
his old friend would not want this
idea to die just because some one
did not agree to it.
Gen. Eisenhower termed the
atoms-for-peace scheme a mod
est plan that should convince
many people that amoic power
can help them instead Of de-
Stroy them.
The President suggested last
December that the world

Hanoi Sees Parade
As French Exhibit
Troops in Strength
BY the Assoeiated Press

HANOI, Indo-C China, July Il.
"A crowd of 10000 Wet Namese
watched some 10000 French and
Wet Namese troops and hum
dreds Of tanks and guns parade
the streets of Wet Mimi threat-
ened Hanoi today.
Officially the military display
honored Frances national holi-
day. Bastille Day, but obviously
1t also was designed to show the
city Of 100000 that the French
still are here in strength.
It was calculated to reassure
pro-French Wet Namese who
fear Hanoi will be given to the
Communicated rebels in the ne
gotiations in Geneva or lost to
them in a mass Red assault on
the shrunken French holding in
tn Red River Delta.
American Aid Displayed.
The parade also served to
warn Wet Mini sympathizers
and extreme Nationalist that
the French have men and guns
ready to put down any revolt
that might flare if a cease-fire
is signed.
For an hour and half the
pavement in front of the re-
viewing stand shook under
marching feet and rumbling ma
chimes of war. the latter an i'm
pressive display of American
war aid.
AS the parade ended a Dakota
transport roared low over the
reviewing stand and squad of
parachutists bailed out and
landed in the small lake Just
across the street.
Cagny Watches Show.
Gen. Rene Cagny, commander
Of all ground forces in northern
1ndo-China, crossed the street
to watch the paratroopers. He
smiled broadly as the last Of the
Is men plopped safely into the
lake and was picked up by q
waiting boat.
The drop was the highlight of
the military show for the Wet
Namese civilians who jammed
all streets for blocks surround
ing the reviewing stand. They
cheered and applauded from the
t1rst dummy test drop until the
last dripping man had been
roWed ashore.

United States and Britain had

United States and Britain had
pretty well agreed" to accept a
partition of Wet Nam on a line
somewhere between the 18th and
18th Parallels. But, the in
formant added. cit may be that
France will feel obliged to accept
an agreement that we and the
United States would regard as
dishonorable."
The London authority, insist
ing that he remain unnamed,
listed three points as pretty
well agreed upon" between the
United States and Britain:
/. The partition line would be
as far north as negotiations
could make it.
2. Even north of this line
French Union forces would con-
tinue to hold some position. The
informant suggested Haiphong,
the sea port supplying the Red
River Delta. would be pos
sibility because it is, as he ex-
pressed it, defensible. The view
appears to be that Hanoi, in
land from Haiphong, cannot be
held.
3. There would be some ar
rangements for an exchange Of
populations between the parti-
toned sectors of Wet Nam. This
presumably would make the set
Element more satisfactory to
President Eisenhower. who has
said he will not be a party to
any agreement enslaving people.
In the talks here, Mr.. Dulles
was reported pushing hard for
immediate organization Of a
Southeast Asia defense alliance,
contending as he has in the
past that such a lineup against
Communist expansion would
strengthen the Vests bargain
ing position at Geneva. Britain
and France previously have
feared formation Of such an
alliance would work against
chances for Communist conces-
| SionS at Geneva.
