BY JOHN SCALI
Associated Press Staff Writer

The State Department, after
wavering briefly. repeatedly de-
cided several days ago on all-out
support for Free Wet Mans
Premier Ngo Dinh Diem in the
face of French and some Wet
Namese opposition.
The French position, mean
while, repeatedly has changed.
Government sources said last
night in Paris that France is
joining the United States in sup
port of Diem.
Special Ambassador j. Lawton
Collins, it was learned today. has
been instructed to give Diem 100
per cent backing, scrapping
plans which might have curbed
Diem's authority. New directives
were said to have been sent to
Gen. Collins while he was flying
back to saigon.
At the same time, the United
States was understood to have
requested both France and Bao
Dai, absentee Wet Namese chief
of state, now living on the
French Riviera, to throw their
full support behind Diem.
Threat to Bar Aid
This plea repeatedly was boil
stored by an implied threat to
cut off American military and
economic aid if French authori-
ties and Bao Dai continued to
oppose Diem.
The freshly-forged policy of
all-out American support grows
out of Diem's apparent success
in crushing an attempted re-
bellion by political opponents
and in rallying broad support
from anti-Communist groups in
South Wet Nam.

u. S. and French Accord
On Booking Diem Hinted

Diem's evident victory appar-
emily convinced top United
States officials they ought to re-
inforce their ong-standing pol
icy of backing him as the best
qualified leader to stabilize and
strengthen the new Indo-C Chinese
state.
But until the shooting broke
out in Saigon last Wednesday,
American officials were known to
be drafting alternative plans
for changing Diem's government
plans which involved conces-
sions to his foes. Gen. Collins
helped draft these new plans
while here for consultations
last week.
Hint BaO Dai's Custer
The State Department tossed
out yesterday a broad hint
American policy might even in
clude approval OF possible custer
of Bao Dai.
No responsible United States
official would state this fatty.
But officials were willing to say
that unless Bao Dai stops his
moves to fire Diem the United
States might be ready to go
along with his deposition.
Paris dispatches reported last
night that the French were now
prepared to sacrifice" Bao Dai
if that becomes necessary to re-
store stability to Southern Indo-
China.
American officials declined to
comment on this development,
indicating they might not yet be
prepared to make a final de-
cision on this question. One Of
fetal said the United States
wanted to preserve some degree
of f1exibilitys in case of any
changes in the turbulent Indo-
China struggle.

Northern Laos. This constitutes
the spearhead which threatens
the whole of Southeast Asia"
He said the so-called Free Thai
Movement, organized by the Chi
nese Communists and based in
Southern China, represents a
threat to his country.
The Prime Minister, who is
here on a goodwill visit, paid
tribute to the people of the
United States for aid to Thai
land and "also for the sacrifices
they have made in behalf of the
freedom of mankind"
Gives Advice to West
He gave this advice on how
the West can help the countries
of Asia resist Red aggression and
subversion:
l. By aiding them to obtain
self-government and by showing
them how to govern properly
and efficiently"
2. BY allowing Asians to de-
velop their own economic strength

Pentagon Proposes Guided Missile
Development and Atom-Powered Ship
BY ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, R-The Penta-
gon, proposing big boost in its
budget next year, contemplates
spending billion dollars for guild
ed missile development
Secretary Of Defense Wilson
told news conference yesterday
the military will ask Congress to
approve a billiOn-dollar increase
in defense spending over the 3413
billions currently estimated for
the present year.
The Pentagon proposes also that
Congress increase by almost two
billion dollars the amount appro-
priated for defense over the 500
billions asked for the current year.
About billion dollars of this
would go into the pipeline to pay
for weapons to be bought in later
years.
Among other new items to ap-
pear in Wilson's budget recon-
mendations will be money to be-
gin building the first surface ship
to be driven by atomic power. This
Navy warship, Wilson indicated,
probably will be of cruiser size
and incorporate the newest of
ornaments, such as guided mis-
siles.
Wilson remarked he was mot
quite ready to discuss the overall
organization of the armed forces
in guided missile development and
production.
But he did provide more def
mite index Of what he previously
had described as a substantial ex-
pansion in the missile field.
The plan is for the Defense De-
partment to spend about one-third
more next year on guided missiles
than in the present year. The es-
innate for such spending this year
is about $3.50 million. Wilson said
the shift in emphasis is from con-
Ventional weapons to things we
would like to have"

Ford Motor Co.
Reveals Assets
For First Time

WASHINGTON, R-The Ford
Motor Co. reported today its assets
are ,483,010,550. 1t said it earned
$312,000,000 in the first nine
months of 1855 on sales amounting
to $4,O42,6OO,OOO.
The company released the fig
ures, heretofore always kept Sc
cret, in connection with the Ford
Foundations proposal to sell 1O,-
100000 shares of company stock
to the public
The amount of stock to be sold
apparently was a laSt-minute de-
cision. Previous public word had
been that about seven million
shares would be offered in this
first chance for the public to buy
into the pioneer auto firm.
Sales of the stock are expected
about jan 10, 1856. Guesses in fl
nancial circles as to the price have
ranged up to $75 a share.
A statement for the stock sale
set out Ford's earnings and sales
for the period from 1916 through
last Sept. go Running through
these figures was reflection Of
the old company's revival and its
comeback under its present head,
Henry Ford III.
In the postwar years, the state
ment said, Ford has spent more
than 1,3O0,0O0,O0O in expanding,
undermining and replacing its fac
ilities and improving its manufac-
turing and assembly processes.
The statement said the additions
to its facilities Include some" for
a proposed new passenger car line,
but gave no details.
Many factors were behind the
decision to put some Ford stock on
the market-among them that of
the ordinary stockholders interest
in buying products from COM
pany in which he holds shares.
1t loosens somewhat the Ford
farnily's tight hold on the firm.

II Killed in Landing Crash Of ].
Eastern Airlines Plane in Florida

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, R-An
Eastern Airlines Constellation on
its way from Miami to Boston
crashed and burned on it's landing
run early today, killing all II per-
sons aboard.
1t was the third air crash in
Florida in three days.
On the shattered Constellation
was the body of c. B. Thrift Of
Miami, an Eastern Air Lines &C
counting employe, being shipped
to Washington DC. for burial. The
47-year-old war veteran had died
Saturday of heart attack.
The plane was only quarter of
a mile from the end of its runway
at the airport when it apparently
came in too low, hit the top of a
tree in the early morning darkness
and plunged to the ground.
The airport said visibility was
half mile, the ceiling 800 feet.
Its passengers apparently never
had time to try to escape for the

trapping all inside
Five of the dead were crew
members.
1t was three hours after the $40
am. crash before firemen could
remove them from the flaming
wreckage.
Leroy Connell, a boilermaker,
was drinking coffee when he
looked out a window of his home
in the thinly wooded, sparsely
settled area. II saw the landing
lights 60 on, then there was a
sound-it might have been an ex-
plosion or the sound the plane
made as it hit the tops Of the
trees" he said. ''The big ship fell
but there wasn't any fire until it
hit the ground"
