The proposal was in the form Franzen from C. J.

The source added: "Must they remain exiles even though communism has been beat en? Will that be their reward for fighting the reds?"

French Quit Key Fortress In Indochina " By Seymour Topping SAIGON. Vienam. Indochina. Oct 21 -9V French abandonment of the headquarters fortress city of Langson was announced today, signaling the fall of the Indochina- China frontier tone to firm control j of the communist - led Vietminh nationalists of Ho Chi Minn. A French army communiaue dis closing this development vowed that the,3Trench will assume the offensive after regrouping as mo bile units and "no further with drawal of our troops la foreseen." But the evacuation of Langson, part of a gradual retreat from bor der positions, ended French chan ces of a decisive military victory anytime soon in the struggle for domination of this gateway coun try to southeast Asia. . 5 Others Yielded Five French posts had been yielded previously. Abandonment of the remaining French positions, at Laokay in the west and Moncay in the east, is regarded here as only a matter of time. The French defense line in north Indochina is being shifted an average of about 75 miles south ward to the northern fringes of the rich Red river delta. French troops began Wednes day the withdrawal from Lang son, which the French originally occupied ia 1885. French authori ties said the movement proceeded efficiently under air force cover, and clashes with Vietminh were limited to small skirmishes. Good Connections Yielded to the Vietminh Is near impregnable mountainous base area with good trans-frontier connections to supply sources and training centers in Red China. This means the Soviet-backed Ho Chi Minh regime has the space and means of preparing a full scale military offensive against the prin cipal French strongholds farther south. The purely guerrilla phase pf the four-year-old war in indo china has ended. The turning point was. marked this month by a series of stunning reverses for the French frontier garrisons. In twoweeks, the French lost more than 3,000 of their first line troops. During their first successful en gagement with major French for ces, the Vietminh disclosed a sulk ing power that for this early, date was unforseen. That was the most significant aspect of the Vietrninh victories.

They expressed belief one of Molotov's jobs was to tell the satellite ministers what hap pened in Korea and' how they should explain it to their people.

Why did President Tru man insist that Chiang Kai-shek take communists into the Chinese government? What went with the $95,000,000,000 spent on national defense since world war two?" Democratic Senator Anderson of New Mexico, executive vice-chair man of his party's national com mittee, said he understood at least 8.000,000 of the postcards were be ing mailed postage-free under the franking privilege of republican congressmen. Anderson accused the republi cans of spending public funds to send out "phoney and fraudulent campaign material." He added in statement: These questions are based upon misinformation, misunderstanding and downright misrepresentation. Each of them has been answered time after time and the false as sumptions on which they are based have been thoroughly exposed," Anderson said the Truman ad ministration has taken firm meas ures to check communist aggres sion while "at almost every step these measures have been opposed by isolationist republican leaders." Republican sources said the number of postcards being mailed was. not 8,000,000 but about 3,200,- 000. . The, democratic national com mittee made public a series of an swers by Rep. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) to Judd s questions. The answers included: . 1 Acheson never Invited the communists to take over any ter ritory. He laid down a Pacific line that the U.

' 2 President Truman didn't in sist upon Chiang's government taking in communists. He called for "a strong, united and demo cratic China" and for an end to the Chinese civil war. - 3 Almost half of this country's postwar defense spending went to liquidate the cost of world war II.
