parently with the idea that's

remains to be seen how well the
idea works.
"The Lineup" which was the
CHS radio answer to "Dragnet"
but not with exactly the same
appeal, finally has been moved
over to the networks TV list
on Friday nights. On film, it
uses San Francisco instead of
Los Angeles as locale, with scenes
at the police lineup an essential
part. I'd say the TV series is
more effective than was the ra-
dio.
"The Vise," a British produced
film which ABC-TV has added
to it's Friday night list, has had
one basic drawback so far. The
voices just did not match the
lip movements of the actors, all
British.

Max Lehman, producer of
MICS spectaculars, now says
there definitely will be no pre-
recorded voices for the singers in
the next one on Sunday night.
Furthermore, he indicated that
as far as possible none will be
used in future spectaculars on
his network.
That was his reaction to the
furor stirred up over the pre-
recordings in two NBC and one
CHS special color musical re-
vues. In the CHS instance old
records for Mario LAMA were
used.
Lehman said he much pre-
ferred that performers do all
their stints live but that he real
lied the necessity of pre-record-
ing in certain cases, such as with
an artist near exhaustion. Pre-
recordings usually are made dur

statement by the French spokes-

had not rejected the Red plan

Rightly or wrongly, there have

PARIS, May 14.-Premier Jo-
seph Laniel and his top military
advisers faced UP to major ques-
tions on Indo- China policy to-
day, supported by a two-vote
majority in the National Assem-
bly, which indicated prompt GUST
ing of the government as soon as
the Geneva conference ends.
The 289-287 vote by which Mr.
Laniel won an Assembly vote of
confidence last night showed
clearly the Deputies would have
booted the cabinet out had they
not feared a government crisis
would suspend the Geneva talks
with the Communists on Indo-
China and Korea.
It appeared that only a major
victory over the Communicated
Wet Mini rebels-at the confer
ence table in Switzerland or on
the battlefield in Indo- China
could save Mr.. Laniel once the
Geneva talks are over. Neither
victory is expected.

Mr.. Laniel warned the Assembly
the committee would have to
consider the making Of i'm

Mr.. Laniel gave the Assembly
no hint of the nature of these,
but informed sources said later
they involved proposals to send
draftees to Indo- China and pos
sibly to extend the 18-month
conscription period for certain
categories.

could risk such q move without
consulting Parliament, where
many Deputies are more inter-
ested in peace than in continua-
ton Of the unpopular Indo-
China war. Mr.. Laniel warned
the Deputies yesterday that they
must decide on any strong
measures to assemble new effec-
tives" for the fighting overseas.
Mr.. Laniel told the Assembly
that more troops, parachutists,

sent to Indo- China and that two

end to the Indo- China war and
therefore a basis for obtaining
additional American help in mil
itary equipment to achieve that
purpose.
The plan called for develop
ment of scores Of new native
battalions, the use of these new
battalions for police duties so as
to free French. North African
and Foreign Legion troops for
combat duty, and the achieve
ment of control over the Reds
within a period of about two
years.
One of the plans major as
sumptionS was that the Wet
Mini would continue to be pri-
marily a guerrilla force. That
was the same assumption on
which Gen. Navarro thought
that Dien Bien Phu could be
held. It proved to be wrong.
Related to this was the belief
that the Reds would lack the
heavy artillery and transport
equipment which are not re-
quired by hit-and-run guerilla
forces. But they got it from
Red China, disclosed it with
devastating surprise at Dien Bien
Phu and are now likely to use
it in full-scale combat around
Hanoi. This is an area they
have already heavily infiltrated.
The Navarro plan was not de-
signed to deal with that kind of
situation. Nor was it timed for
major combat this quickly.
Moreover, there is private criti-
ciSm among officials here that
it never was pressed as vigorously
as it might have been by Gen.
Navarro, either in the training
Of the new units or in their ag-
gressive use as they became

Navarro Plan 10 Win
War in Indo-China
Quietly Written Off
BY John N. HightoweT
Assoeiotod Press StoH Writer

The Navarro plan on which
the American and French gov
ernments once based their hopes
for winning the Indo-C China war
now has been quietly written of
by authorities here.
French authorities indicate
that their thinking is along the
same line, that what was known
as the Navarro plan prior to the
fall Of Dien Bien Phu has little
pertinence to the kind of war
which French and native forces
have faced since the defenders
of that fortress were overrun.
The program developed about
a year ago by Gen. Henri Ma
varre, French commander in
1ndo-China. was made the basis
Of enlarged American aid there.
1t has been swept away chiefly
by the Communists action in
recent weeks making the Indo-
China war into what is now re-
garded here as a new kind of
conflict. The Communicated
Wet Mini demonstrated at Dien
Bien Phu that they have the
training. equipment and will to
fight standard military opera
tionS on a relatively large scale.
Pattern Changes.
United States officials familiar
with the Indo- China fighting say
that Chinese Communist mill
tary supplies and training-re-
inforced by Soviet ideas, tech
nical assistance and equipment
changed the nature of the
fight In addition they are con-
cerned over certain reported
weaknesses on the French and
native side.
AS a result various high Off
cials here are now convinced
that the choice before President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles comes down to this:
United States intervention in
the fighting could rebalance the
1ndo-China forces and give new
hope for anti Communist sue
cess. An American decision not
to intervene very likely would
mean that the Reds would over
run Wet Nam, and probably the
other Associated States of Laos
and Cambodia, very rapidly.
Intensive negotiations have
been going on between Washing
ton and Paris as to what may
be done. The Laniel govern
ment, politically uncertain and
facing a vote of confidence which
it won last night by only two
votes. has repeatedly been re-
luctant to make decisions. The
United States apparently is
pressing hard for French agree
ment to full independence,
signed and sealed for all three
of the Indo-C Chinese states.
