checked, blue-eyed blond who
served for 13 years in the MVD
(Russion secret police) before he
broke with his government ear
lier this year when he refused
to carry out an order to assaSSi-
nate an anti Communist Russian
underground leader in Germany.
He told his story yesterday in
open session before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee.
After describing the murder plot
in detail and the part played in
it by Alexander Panyushkin,
former Soviet Ambassador to
the United States, Mr.. Khokhlov
said that an aroused American
public opinion was the only hope
he had left for the safety of
his family.
Asks for Support.
II ask the American people
for a word of compassion and
support" hes said. I beg the
President of the United States
as a representative of the will
of the American people to help
me save the life of my wife who
has not done anything else but
to risk her life and the life of
my son so I would not become
an assassin"
He did not indicate exactly
what steps he would ihave the
President take.

Agreement on Points.
In separate Indo-China talks
yesterday the West and the
Communists repeatedly agreed
to points to be discussed for end
ing the seven-year war in Indo-
China.
But nothing leaked out Of the
,four-hour secret meeting to in
dicate that either side had
budged from its basic position or
made a move that would break
the prolonged deadlock.
One informed Western source
reported definite progress. but
no cause for cheering yet"
The next session on Indo-
China takes place Monday. In
formants said the nine partici-
pating delegations - the Big
Four, Red China, the three As
sociated States of Indo- China
and the Communicated Wet
Minh-have agreed to use some
sections of both the French and
Communist armiStice plans as
a basis for discussion at their
next meeting.
Wide Differences in Plans.
These points deal with estab-
liShment of a cease-f1re, with
drawal Of opposing forces to
separate zones, a ban on out
side reinforcements, internation-
al control of armistice agree
mentS and international guar
anteeS against violations.
There are wide differences be-
tween East and West plans on
some of these points.
One immediate Western OBJ
jective is a cease-fire first and
political settlement later.

an underground organization of

Nationalist Chinese
Hope 7ih Fleet Will
Extend lis Guard
BY the Assoeiassd Press

TAIPEH. Formosa. May. a.
Nationalist China hopes to put
under United States 7th Fleet
protection a chain Of small is-
lands 1t. holds on the Commu-
nist-held mainland. sources here
indicated today.
The fleets present assignment
is to guard Formosa and its
satellite islands, notably the
strategic Pescadores, and there
was no indication it would be
changed.
A report published here today
said extension Of the 7th Fleets
duties to guard the offshore is
lands was proposed to United
States Defense Secretary Charles
e. Wilson and to Gen James A.
Van Fleet. now on a Far East
military fact-finding tour for
President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Wilson flew to Hong
Kong today. Gen. Van Fleet was
due back tonight for a second
visit in recent days.
Series Of Clashes Recently.
There has been a series of
air and sea clashes during the
past week of the coast Of Che
kiang Province. Q between For
moSa and Shanghai. The
Tachen Islands, northern an
chor Of the offshore island
chain, lie of Checking. And Ma
tionalist authorities have ac-
knowledged that the Reds were
massing land, sea and naval
forces for a possible invasion.
Attacks by Nationalist war
planes were aimed at disrupting
Communist plans.
Invasion of the Tachens, Que
moy and other offshore bases
admittedly would be a logical
first step to Red conquest Of
FormoSa.
However, nom Chinese opinion
here inclines to the view that
it Is extremely unlikely that the
United States will openly COM
NIT itself to defense Of the off,
shore bases.
Such a commitment would
substantially increase the pos
sibility of a direct clash between
the United States and Red
China.
More U. s. Planes Seen.
At the same time, however,
it is considered possible that
American aid might be stepped
up to strengthen Nationalist de-
tense Of the islands. This prob
ably would mean more planes.
The Nationalists repeatedly
presented a master defense plan
to Gen. Van Fleet and Mr.. Will
son. But the government infor-
nation bureau said it had MOTH
ing to substantiate the report.
Reliable sources said the plan
called for:
/. Development Of new Ma
tionallSt fighting units.
2. The training Of more re-
serves.
3. American strengthening of
Nationalist air force and, navy
units.
4. The training of more tech
