Soviet built arms found in Indo China raised cold war alarm
In Indo China a large cache of Soviet built arms and trucks was uncovered near Phu Tho after a French Union raid. The seizure included 21 ton Molotov trucks and 1,527 mortar shells. Officials see this as a sign of renewed Soviet military involvement in the region and a potential broadening of conflict toward Burma and Thailand. The discovery follows weeks of heavy supplies moving from a railhead near Chen Nan Kuan to Indo China dumps via rugged trails. Meanwhile Viet Minh rebels launched a bold assault on Na San, 125 miles west of Hanoi, as U S and French forces coordinate in the region.
