u. S. to Support French Plan
For Arn7istice in Indo-Chinu
Reds Would Control Section of Wet Nam,
Have to Withdraw in Laos and Cumbodiu

a seven-year, generally success
full guerilla war against the gov
ernment of Wet Nam. Red
troops also have penetrated Laos
and Cambodia adding to the al
lied fear that the Communists
have an eye on Malaga. Indone-
sia and other points to the
south.
Five-POint French Plan.
The French plan that now has
Anglo-American backing would
provide:
/. Withdrawal of Red troops
from Laos and Cambodia.
2. Withdrawal of Communists
from the north Wet Nam Red
River delta, which includes rich
rice-groWing areas, the city of
Hanoi and the key seaport of
Haiphong. A neutral zone would
be established around the delta,
with the Communists keeping
control-at least temporarily
of the area to the west and
north, including Dien Bien Phu.
3. Withdrawal of Communists
in central Wet Nam to fixed po-
sitions. This probably would al
low the Reds to keep at least
temporary control of the port
city OF Vinh and its surround
ings. This area, too, would be
surrounded by a neutral zone.
4. Disarmament and with
drawal of Red forces in scattered
pockets in south Wet Nam.
S. Controls to guard against
the Communist Wet Mimi from
getting reinforcements FROM Red
China during the armistice.
Apply to Armistice Only.
All of these terms would apply
to an armistice rather than a
permanent political settlement.
France, Britain and the United
States have not committed
themselves on permanent peace
terms. But once Wet Nam is
divided by armistice lines, the
Wet Mini Communists might be
just as difficult to uproot as the
Communists in Korea, which
now have approximately the
same area they held at the end
of World War II.
Implicit in the talk of the
truce terms is the thought that
the Western allies have done
about as much as they can or
will do to defeat the Reds mill
tarily.

Gen. de Castries' garrison by four

Gen. De Castries was estimated
on the eve of the showdown
battle to have $4,000 men, in
Guiding wounded. at his COM
mand. These were Frenchmen,
Foreign Legionnaires, Wet
Namese and North Africans.
There were about 1000 wounded
in underground bunkers of the
fort. All efforts for a truce to
evacuate them had failed.
The fortress, situated in
broad fiat rice plain about six
miles long and half that wide,
was pounded by artillery and
mortars during the long days of
the siege.
Each new wave of infantrymen
bit off a bit of the original
fortress until when the attack
started during the past night, a
field little bigger than a base
ball diamond remained in which
the defenders were concentrated.
Foe in Command of Hills.
Defense of the little fortress
was made difficult by the fact
that all the surrounding hills
were held by the Wet Mimi and,
to the surprise of the French
Union forces. they were strongly
supplied with artillery, for the
first time in the more than seven
years of war.
Beyond, that, also, the Wet
Mini had antiaircraft guns
which some French and Amer
ican officials insisted we're
manned by Chinese crews, a fact
never formally established.
The end result was, however.
that plans to supply the fortress
with an airlift from Hanoi
proved expensive and extremely
difficult. Planes had to drop
their supplies from a high alti-
tude, so that much equipment

hands.

Army Secretary Stevens said
today he had "a feeling" the
Mccarthy investigation at the
Fort Monmouth IN. j. radar
laboratories would have been
called off if Pvt. G. David Schine
had received an assignment to
the New York area.
Mr.. Stevens also said he con-

efforts to obtain favors for Pvt.
Schine, his friend and former
subcommittee consultant.
The Secretary was a witness
for the 18th day in the public

questions from Senator Nc
Carthy, Mr.. Stevens Stoutly held
to the Armys charge that Mr..
Cohn used threats" to win
favors for Pvt. Schine.
AS the morning hearing got

The subcommittee voted yester-
day not to hold an afternoon
session today because of pending
votes in the Senate on Taft
Hartley legislation.
Senator Mccarthy, sometimes
sarcastic and sometimes patroniz-
ing, opened up the questioning
of whether Mr.. Stevens consid-
cred he had been threatened.
The matter was then pursued by
Ray H. jenkins, special counsel
for the investigation, and sub
committee members.
The Wisconsin Republican re-
ferred to a November Is visit of
Mr.. Cohn and Francis Carr, sub
committee staff director and
another principal in the contro-

Mr.. Stevens Pentagon Office.
He pointed out that the two
went there to discuss with Mr..
Stevens a November 13 news
conference statement in which
the Secretary said the Army
knew of no current espionage
at Fort Monmouth.
The Senator asked if the Sec
retary thought he was threatened
at that time.
"Mr. Cohn and Mr.. Carr" Mr..
Stevens replied, were talking
in, shall we say, a somewhat un-
usual way"
The Secretary said at another
point regarding the meeting

Half Million in April;
JobIess Total Down
U. S. Reports Decline
Of 100000 in Months
Unemployment Figure
By james Y. Newton

Unemployment declined 260,-
900 last month while employ
ment increased 100000. the Gov
ernment announced today.
A Joint Commerce-Labor De-
partment survey of the employ
ment situation showed that in
April. for the first time since
early last fall, there was a de-
crease in unemployment. How
ever, the number of jobless in
April-3, ,465 ,000-was the second
highest figure for the month
since the beginning of World
War II.
The postwar record for April
unemployment of 3,515.000 was
set in 1850 when the country
was pulling out of a recession.
Seasonal Pickup.
At this season of the year,
employment almost always picks
up and unemployment drops.
There were declines in the
number of persons working in
April only in two years of the
period covered by present Gov
ernment statistics which started
in 1941. These were 1858 and
1851.
From 1941 to 1853 the number
of unemployed decreased every
year with the exception of
1947, when there was a rise of
10000.
The monthly Census Bureau
survey estimated there were
60.6 million persons working in
April, an increase of 100000
from March. The figure was
about 100000 under April OF
last year.
The number of unemployed
last month was nearly 2 million
higher than in April, 1858. when
the Government estimated the
number of jobless as 1.582,0 900.
The pickup in employment was
attributed largely to a seasonal

GENEVA, May Even as the
fall of Dien Bien Phu was an
nounced. the Big Three Western
powers decided today to propose
10 the Communists that the Indo-
Chinese peace talks begin tomor-
row afternoon.
The last apparent obstacle for
the opening of the talks was re-
moved when the French agreed
to have the Craftsmanship rotate
between British Foreign Secre-
tary Eden and Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov. This was
understood to be satisfactory to
the Communists.
The Western powers agreed to
have W. D. Allen, British Under
secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, notify Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrel Gro
myko that the West is ready to
meet tomorrow. 1t had been
arranged several days ago that
the meeting would be convened
whenever the Western delega-
tions were ready.
Midday Conference.
Final strategy was discussed
at a midday conference of Sec
retary Eden, French Foreign
Secretary Georges Bidault and
United States Undersecretary of
State Walter Bedell Smith.
News of the agreement on the
Craftsmanship came as the East
West delegates returned to their
deadlocked debate on Korea
after a three-day recess. But the
