U.S. Keeps Indochina Aid Despite Dien Bien Phu Fall
Pentagon says aid to French Indochina will continue with sea and air shipments and aircraft technicians to maintain flights for the free forces. Adm.

The 7th Fleet maintains roughly wartime strength with carriers, cruisers and destroyers, but no battleships since the Korean War.
