Deal For Indochina Is Regarded As Victory For Communists, Setback For Free World By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON — The nego- tiated end of the war in Indochina | is generally regarded here as a victory for the Communists and| @ defeat for the free world. It halts a direct billion-dollar-a- | year drain of money and arms on the United States. But it also creates an urgent need to shore. up non-Communist areas of Southeast Asia which will almost certainly impose new bur- dens on this country and its allies and absorb some or all of the Indo- china savings. U, S. government officials have | been talking with French leaders for several weeks about getting out of Red areas all arms and equip- ment which French and native | anti-Communist forces have been! equipped. with. It is understood the French have given assurances this will be done. It was learned, meanwhile, that the American and Allied govern- | ments are planning shortly to is- sue declarations of intent to form | eventually a collective defense for Southeast Asia and warning the Communists not to undertake any new aggression in that area. Such action has been discussed with a | number of friendly governments | and reports today were that it had been substantially agreed upon. The United States and Britain, however, ‘are still divided over the timing of actual formation. Author- ities estimate it will be many | months before the projected de-. fense system can be set up. The! United States would have preferred | | quicker action but Britain is anx- ious to hold the cooperation of In-| dia to the fullest extent possible | and consequently has been mov- ing cautiously. American ‘officials studying the Indochina settlement signed today said privately its impact will reach far beyond Southeast Asia and Probably -will be felt throughout the whole range of relations be- tween the Communist and non- Communist blocs. Here are some of the potential Tesults which may develop: Red China—Authorities here ex- pect that the French government of Premier Pierre Mendes-France, having succeeded in ending the Indochina war, will soon recognize the Communist China regime as Britain has done. This is expected to increase pressure for eventually seating Red China in the United Nations over U. S. opposition. European Defense Community— Mendes-France has promised to Place the EDC Treaty before the _ French Assembly for a vote prior * to adjournment next month. But French opposition to German re- armament under this proposed Pact remains strong. Also, it may be considerably boosted by a feel- ing that. the ending of the Indo- china fighting will lessen the dan- | Sew--Wrap--Go! Sew it in a day!

One reason is that | it adds a large, productive terri- tory and millions of people to the | Communist bloc. Furthermore, the Reds have gained a secure base from which to conduct their classic combina- tion of infiltration, political pres- sures and propaganda on the rest | jof Indochina—southern Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. CONGRESS HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON (? — A debate- weary Senate presses toward a | showdown on a side issue holding up action on President Eisenhow- | er’s atomic energy program An informal agreement for a test vote is reached by Republican leaders and critics of a White House plan to bring private power into the Tennessee Valley Authori- ty area. | of the bill to amend the atomic energy law.

It meets in closed ses- ion and discusses plans for hear- ings in other major cities, It also debates whether to ask the Senate for more money for its investi- gation.

Farmers living along Pennsyl- vania 76, which runs along Cove Ridge, say they have seen what looks to them like a panther. There are also those who say they have heard the creature scream at night, They are wild screams, resembling the screech of an hysterical woman, it is said. The animal is described as about seven feet long, with a long flow- ing tail. Some say it is of a brown- ish hue; others say gray. There are even some who claim to have shot at the beast, but no one claims a hit. Legality Of Aid Program Queried SALT LAKE CITY wW—Gov. J. Bracken Lee said yesterday he is going to test legality of the federal | government’s foreign aid program by bringing action before the U.S. Supreme Court. He asked the Utah attorney gen- eral to find what legal steps a citizen or a public official must take to prove that “it is a viola- tion of our U. S. Constitution when our government gives our hard- earned money to foreign nations.” We Deal In New and Used Furniture | Eisner Furniture Co.
