SYMONDS ; United Press Correspondent j Saigon U.R Underground Communist organizations al ready control about 50 per cent of Viet Nam. The question is, can American, French and Free Viet ; Nam leaders stifle those inroads before the all-Viet -Nam elections in the summer of 1956 ' Most informed American offi cials here admit if the elections were- held today, the Commu nists would win. . . They admit, too, it is a long shot - proposition 4 whether the West can ever save Viet Nam from Communist grasp. " H "Whether ? we like it or not we've got our money on , this long shot," a U.S. military of ficer told me "And if- vc lose here I honestly believe we've lost Asia." a It is possible in this refugee crowded capital to find every de gree of outlook from abject pes simism to soaring optimism. French Moral Low , , The French, low in morale and.exhaused after eight. years of-war, are generally pessimis tic. ,. ... Viet Namese .officials are opti mistic.

They have a fighting determina tion to win back the northern half -of their country. -, . - Unfortunately, however, Sai gon is rife with Indecision, in trigue, confusion, bitterness and feuds.

The West's problem is to! win , the support of these people before the 1956 elections. . ;. ., A big bottleneck to accom plishing this -appears to be the lack - of an overall American plan of action. There is , hope this will be rectified when Gen. J. Lawton Collins, PresidentEi senhower's special envoy, re turns to Washington to report next month. . " . : ? - - Much Bitterness Felt There is much bitterness among Viet Namese government and. military leaders as a result of indications the United States does not intend to commit itself too deeply . here, ; but instead plans to rely on retaliatory pro visions of the SEATO pact if violence threatens 1 South -V i e t Nam. J : V ,2- . -s. , Collins himself has been ex tremely quiet about.his findings. But members of his staff ' and American' embassy officials, along with V i e t Namese and French leaders who nave talked with him, indicate his broad pol icy recommendations will in clude: ' . . . r 1. Throw the full support of the United States behind the still weak government of Ngo Dinh Diem, president of the council of ministers. He needs such support if he is to break down the influ ence i of various religious and military groups plotting against him. 2. Completely reorganize the army under American training methods and indoctrinate its men with, the idea they are to serve the people, not exploit them .3.
