Advances of 1 Vietminh forces
in Laos seem to have created
more stir in Washington than in
Paris. The French capital is so
fed up with the rebellion in In
dochina, so eager to find a way
of escape, that a fresh penetra-
tion of one of the Associated
States rouses no call for swift
counterattack. Washington, how
ever, which has been steadily
increasing its contribution to the
French-Vietnam cause in Indo
china seems I much concerned.
Already there 'are 400 U.S. mili
tary technicians in Indochina
and Saturday the Defense de
partment announced it is send
ing additional light bombers and
200 more ground crew specialists
to aid in their upkeep. Thus
far, American military personnel
has not been committed to the
fighting, but i they have been
backing up the forces engaged
in defending Indochina from the
Communist-led rebels who get
their supplies' from Red China.
What worries Washington is
whether the Reds can be stop
ped, and whether the United
States will join in the actual
lighting. .
The San Francisco Chronicle
ays that "it is fundamental in
Mr. Eisenhower's book that the
West must not lose Indochina to
the Reds.", The results of that
catastrophe says the Chronicle,
would be:
mX The Communists would
move into strategic command of
all Southeast Asia, bringing into
imminent jeopardy Burma, Ma
laya, India and Indonesia. Even
the Philippines would be im
periled. "2 The West would face the
loss of vitally needed

Commie Goals
WASHINGTON (J) J. Edgar
Hoover believes settlement of the
Korean war and recall of Ameri
can troops from abroad are among
the major current objectives of the
Communist Party in the United
States. '
The Reds also have as principal
goals, the FBI director told the
House Appropriations Committee,
a five-power peace pact including
Communist China, and resumption
of U. S. trade with Iron Curtain
countries.
Hoover testified behind closed
doors recently when the commit

from : this little interior Alaska
waypoint it was unlikely any of
the missing men would be found
alive.:
The twin-engined C47 crashed
Friday 75 miles northeast of here
on a 275 mile flight from Anchor
age to Fairbanks.
Hudson, who located the scat
tered ; wreckage late Friday, said
several- of the I rescued men told
him of suddenly being flung into
the air as the plane disintegrated.
"They said they were playing
cards and riding along smoothly
one minute and the next thing they
were floating down to earth," Hud
son reported.
Polled by Chutes
The Air Forpe would make no
official comment on Hudson's con
viction that the plane exploded.
"All the guys I saw were pretty
banged up from being scraped
along the rocks when they hit the
ground and were pulled along by
their chutes," Hudson said, "but
none ' of them seemed to be hurt
too badly.
"I saw two j bodies wrapped in
parachutes where .the plane went
down it was spread over three-
quarters of a mile and they'll
never find any more of them
alive.
Tells Story I
Hudson tramped through deep
snowdrifts to Jget from this little
Susitna River town 75 miles north
east of Anchorage to the crash
scene. He told his story when he
arrived back here.
Hudson said the two known dead
were apparently knocked uncon
scious by the explosion and could
not pull the ripcord on their
'chutes. He said those he talked
to related thai all the men aboard
the plane were wearing para
chutes, t
He said the six who have been
found or sighted were . wearing
heavy winter! clothing and that
fact probably saved their lives in
the 26-degree f above temperature.
Rescuers found three of the six
survivors 15 miles from the
downed plane. Two others were
near the wreckage and another
was sighted by a helicopter as it
was en route to Curry.; All have
been flown out.
Men Identified
The Air Force identified the six
men as
Airman 3. C. Rupert C. Pratt,

able to give a coherent account
of the crash.
The other j four men : were also

But in the most heartening com
munique since the pontiff was
stricken Jan. 23 by a stubborn
stomach ailment, his personal phyf
sician and faithful friend, Dr. Ric
cardo Galeazzi-Lisi, announced
Sunday: f
"The" Pope last night slept rast
er welL Signs of improvement are
noted in the condition of the stom
ach, which is quieter and less dis
turbed. However, in his general
condition there continues to be
considerable weakness."
Resting Easily I
It i was the second consecutive
night in which rest had come easi
er to the Pope as he lay on his
wooden. bed in the Apostolic Pal
ace i with grave-faced medical ex
perts in constant attendance. -
During the evening, the Vatican
announced the Pope had spent a
"tranquil day" Sunday. -4
As always, no matter how ill,
the pontiff took time for affairs
of the church Sunday morning.
Msgr. Dominico Tardini, pro-sec
retary of state for extraordinary
ecclesiastic affairs, was at the
papal bedside for some minutes
to report and receive instructions
Liquid Food - -V
But the doctors sternly insist the
Pope conserve his meager
strength. A little liquid food is
able to pass the Pope's lips how
but for many days he was unable
to take food. That coupled with
a long siege of hiccups, now
passed left him greatly en
feebled.
It is this general weakness
which is the great source of worry
to his physicians. If the Pope re
mains able to take liquid, physi
cians hope to be able to give him
another set of X-rays which will
pin-point the stubborn ailment, be
lieved glandular in origin.
The cash was in $500, $100, $50,
$20 and $10 bills.
Police found Mrs. Wherritt
sprawled on her bedroom floor
after a neighbor reported she bad
not seen the aged woman for sev
eral days. The safe lay beside her.
Detectives theorized that ' the
woman was beaten for refusing to
tell robbers the combination of the
safe.
The neighbor, Mrs. Evangeline
de Martini, 54, told police that
Mrs. Wherritt often left her house
at night always traveling through
alleys instead : of streets and
would return about midnight
Mrs. Wherritt s home is a two-
story red brick flat in the path
of one of Detroit's new express
ways. All but one other house
around hers had been razed ; to
clear a path for the highway. I
