Oppenlandcr was the son of Mrs 1,11a Oppenlandcr, West Linn, Charlotte Passolt. who . is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Passolt Jr., fo'rmerly of Sprague River and now of 230 South Rogers Street, called her mother before 9 a m. today to say that she waa sale. The girl Is a freshman at George Fox College, where all members of. the group were enrolled. The 280-287 margin by which Lanlel won an Assembly vote oi confidence last night showed clear ly Uie deputies would have booted the Cabinet out had they not feared government crisis would suspend the Oeneva talks with Uie Commu nists on Indochina and Korea. It appeared that only a major victory over the Cornmunlst-lu-d Vletmlnh rebels at the conference table In Switzerland or on the battlefield in Incochina could save Lanlel once Uie Geneva talks were over. Neither victory was expected. The major Item on the govern ment's schedule today was a meet ing of Uie Committee on Nation?.! Defense, made up of top military and civilian o f 1 1 c I a I . Lamel warned Uie Assembly Uie commit tee would have to consider the making of Important decisions. Lanlel gave the Assembly no hint of the nature of these, but Informed sources said later they Involved proposals to send draftees to Indochina and possibly to ex tend the 18-month conscription per iod for certain categories. Up to now, no conscripts have been sent to Indochina in Uie seven-year war against the Communist-led rebels. Any decision to send them there would certainly raise a bowl throughout war-weary France. In theory Uie government has the right to send conscripts to any noncombat area to Saigon, for ex ample, but not to Hanoi. Draftees sent to noncombat zones could free professional troops for the fighting Ironts. But In reality no" government could risk such a move without consulting Parliament, where many deputies are more Interested In peace than in continuation of Uie unpopular Indochina war. Lanlel told the Assembly that more troops, parachutists, bomb ers and tanks were being sent to Indochina and that two cruisers There have been rumblings In , Ihe Assembly corridors that Bid-1 aull la not willing to press nara enough for peace in Indochina and therelore Is not the right man to head Ihe French negotiators. Last night's vote, though H sus tained Lantern refusal to bold a debate now on Indochina and Uie fall of Dien Blen Phu, was more a humiliation than victory for Uie government,' Lanlel Insisted thst .a govern ment crisis now might end the peace negotiations. The Assembly only a week before had upheld the government on Uie same Issue and the same, argument by a vote of 311-262.
