IN Indo-C Chino Wur,
Dulles Tells Press

Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles told newsmen
that the United States will
not go it alone in Indo-C China
unless the whole nature of
Communist aggression in
Asia changes, he said. This
probably indicates that should
the Chinese enter the war
openly then it is most likely
that the u. S. would be forced
to take action.
Indications are that the adj
ministration is undecided as
to the action which should be
taken in Indo-C China. Admiral
Radford, Chairman Of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff is among
those who feel that the Y S.
should move now to prevent
a bad situation from becoming
worse.
