French Halt Vietminh Attack Near Luang Prabang

In Indochina the French High Command said Luang Prabang defenses repelled a Vietminh assault by advance rebel units crossing the Mekong about eight miles north of the Laotian capital. Vietminh forces, about battalion strength, were halted after heavy fighting with both sides reporting losses. French forces also clashed in the Luang River valley northeast of Luang Prabang, driving rebels to flight as about 1500 Vietminh fighters near the town were reinforced by regular units. The Vietminh mass was said to be in the Bac River valley 43 to 50 miles north, with advanced elements near Nga River. Muong Sai, the northmost French hold, again faced mortar fire as French planes hit Vietminh batteries.
