French Air Strikes Hit Communist Base Near Hanoi
Fifty French warplanes destroyed a large underground base 12 miles southeast of Hanoi using 1,003 pound bombs in pre dawn darkness. The base, hidden among bamboo huts, served as a jumping off point for Viet Minh attacks toward Hunoi and delta operations. The raid, the biggest against rebel positions in the delta, followed Reds seizing a defense post near the Hanoi Haiphong railway line. Capturing that post has not yet halted American supply ships from Haiphong.

West Favors Asian Role of Guardian at Indochina talks
Western leaders at the Far Eastern conference weigh a plan to give non Communist Asian factions a major role in supervising any Indochina cease fire. The proposal would counter Russia by expanding an Asian led commission with Sweden and Switzerland as neutrals. European nominees could be dropped to form a smaller panel. Aiming to pressure Red China on Asia for the Asians, officials expect a decision by week’s end as Indochina talks resume after a recess.
