ration at army post exchanges,
which also supply civilians, be
increased to "meet the needs of
the maximum smoker." The cur
rent allowance is 200 cigarettes

It also recommended that cig

Some members of the Investi

whether a prohibition against

enacted. However, a military

knew of no federal statute that
would prevent it.

Indo-China
Probe Made
By French
PARIS, Dec. 26 (41 Colonial
Minister Marius Moutct today
bcKan an on-the-spot investiga
tion of the situation In Indo
China as French troops slowly
fanned out through the northern
states of Annam and Tonkin
against stubborn opposition by
Viet-Nam nationalists.
Dispatches from Saigon In the
southern state of Cochin-China
reported Moutet's arrival there
yesterday on a special fact-finding
mission. He was greeted by
Admiral George Thierry d'Ar
genlicu. French high commis
sioner for Indo-China, who had
arrived from Paris earlier in the
week.
Moutet also was greeted at the
airport by delegates claiming to
represent the majority of the
Annamitc population as well as
many French, who presented
him with a petition asking re
placement of d'Argenlieu and
most ol his regime. The dele
gates maintained that dissatis
faction with d'Argenlieu was
largely responsible for the trou
ble in the north.
Saigon itself was fairly quiet
during the night, the French
press agency reported. Hand
grenades were said to have been
thrown into a French barracks
and at a French military truck,
but without causing any casual
ties. A policeman was killed
and another seriously wounded
in another incident, the agency
said. Saigon was under a 10 p..
m. to 5 a. m. curfew.
The Saigon advices said Moutct
declined to comment on the situ
ation, merely declaring that
there had been no change in
French policy and that his gov
ernment would continue to work
for the protection of legitimate
French interests, French citizens
and friends of France.
