The rebel forces torm k glganlla pincers threaten ing mi all-out assault to drive the French from their north Indochina bullion. Barring the allm chunce the Gen eva conteronce might atop Uie wnr by ordering h ceatie-llre, ludlcullona Increased Unit the Communist-led lubels will hit the delta with every thing Uiey hnve bolore tlie end ul uno. A French army spokesmen mid upwards of ,30,000 troops had completed their ninvemrnU back to from Haiphong to Hanoi and Uie Hrlitlnv fronts, Vletmlnh attacks cut the routes nightly, but French patrols and re pairmen reopen them for about six hours of truffle dally. Aware that Hanoi inlnlit be en circled and cut oil; Uie French are heavily relnforclnii the datelines of the seaport and the Doson Penin sula, 13 miles souLhcust of It. To both these, tho French prob ably could cling it lonit time If Uiey had to be used as beachhead. 'thousands of Vietnamese living In villages around Haiphong and Doson are being ovitcunted to muke way for new defense preparations. South and southeastward of Han oi, deep In the delta, Uie French aro constricting" Uielr entire 'do- to take over Uie post from Oen The rebel pincers appear hinged on the town of Phu Tho, 66 miles northwest of Hanoi, From there, Vletmlnh units are moving almost due east to draw a line of attack upon Hanoi from positions 40 miles norlh of this key city. The southern arm of the pincers at the moment appears to extend from Phu Tho southeast to Son Tay 39 miles northwest of Hanoi. From there the rebel line runs to Has Blnh, on the Black River 40 miles southwest of the city, and then southwest to Ntnh Blnh, 00 miles due south of this war capital. This movement would put the Vletmlnh In a position to reinforce a division of rebel regulars which has been Infiltrating through the southern frlngea of Uie delta. These infiltrators have added to the Vletmlnh'a estimated 100.000 regular, regional and guerrilla troops already inside the delta. The rebels have stepped up their widespread attacks on defense posts throughout the delta and in tensified sabotage of French com munication systems. Union forces battled rebel units around several small French-held posts yesterday. French and Vietnamese troops drove across the Day River to push Vletmlnh besiegers- back from encircled Phu Ly, a key road and rice center 30 miles south of Hanoi. American-supplied French bombers also plastered rebel bases In the area. The action relieved, at least tem the base from which Umy moved to capture Dim Bleu Phu. Other robpl troops reportedly wore mov ing toward Die delta area from the southwest, Ilia French continued to build up their forces in the strategic area, pouring In reinforcements from other part of Indochina and from Europe, In an all-out aaauult, the French expect the rebel) to try flrat to Isolate llnnol by severing the rnud and rail line Unking tlm city with tlm port of Haiphong, 04 mllea to Uie east. These routes are the lifeline for continued rpslnliiuco to the Communist-led tide, lor they curry the bulk of U.S. -supplied wur inuterlnl They are leaving to Uie Vletmlnh most of the small defense posts the rebels capture every night In over whelming assaults. But Uie French are holding, and say they Intend to defend such loud Junction points and rice and li.dustrlal areas as Phu Ly, Nam Dinh and Thai Dlnh, within an are 30 Ui (6 miles south and southeast of Hanoi, Also on Uie "hold" list Is the Phst Diem sector, 16 miles south east of Hanoi and the home of 000,000 Catholics. The situation presents a grim prospect lor Oen. Paul Ely, newly spiMlnled commander In chief of French Union forces In Indochina. Ely left Paris yesterday by air Henri Navarre. Vletmlnh forces, armed with rocket launchers, heavy artillery and antiaircraft guns, have been moving toward the delta defense lines on the west and northwest since the fall of Dlen Blen Phu. Heavy air attacks have slowed the Red tide and the French have had little to say about these troops except that they were drawing a semicircle around the western and northwestern defenses. The high command last night suddenly announced part of the oncoming Vletmlnh forces have been shunted aouUieast In an ob vious move to hit the delta from still another aide. porarily, Vletmlnh pressure on Phy Ly, whose fortifications form an important bastion In Uie south ern sector of the delta area, Vietnamese Premier Buu Loo said In Saigon, meanwhile, propos als at Geneva for a cease-fire "cannot In any way threaten our national unity." The Premier re turned yesterday from a month's absence in France, where he In itialed two treaties which he said "recognize the total independence of Viet Nam and Its free associa tion with France." Vietnamese political leader have feared the Oeneva conference might produce a partitioning of Viet Nam. In The Dav's lews By FRANK JKNKINN Democrutlo Senator Albert Core of Tennanspe snys tins morning Uie administration has no time to lose In making up Its mind on the U.S. course In Indochina and Southeast Asia. He adds that lie agrees with a weekend alatemenl by Senate Re publican Lender Knowland to Uie effect Uiat Uie free world has come to a Jumping off placo and we can't let Uie reds keep swallowing terri tory In Indochina while the talking grx-s on In Oeneva. The drift of Knnwland'a state ment (with which Democrat Oore saya he agrees) is that a decision is looking us in Uie eye. Well, we DON'T want to do any more fighting against Uie will of those we're supposed to be fighting for. And I'm pretty sure we don't want any more United Nations wars In which we do 90 per cent ot the fighting and the spending. That's playing the Russian game, and we can't afford to go on play ing Russia's game. It's too much like Russian roulette. Ho rd aay we ARK looking a decision In the eye. We aren't going to decide that one here In the Klamath country, ao let's do a Utile talking about soma ot our HOME problems. One of our problems Is shsll we or shall we not consolidate what we call our "metropolitan area' Into one city that will show In Uie census reports a population of 36,000 to 30.000. Wo are unfortunate from that standpoint In Uiat our city limits are atlll about Uie same as In the days when Klamslh Falls was re garded as a temporary boom town that would be given back to Uie Indians as soon as Uie timber waa cut out and Uie lumber Industry moved on. Our population has grown, but Uie growth doesn't show up in Uie census reports be cause uie nunc oi it nas seen out- aide the city limits. Regardless of Uie growth that haa taken place, our census popu lation continues to show up In Uie M.ooo to 11.000 bracket. Why la that bad? This, I think, Is the answer. We're gunning for more Industrial development. We have Uie re sources including favorable geo- i graphical location and adequate transportation to attract a fair, ly large Industrial growth. Our ba sis resources haven't as yet been any more than scratched on Uie aurface. A city of 36.000 or mora ts more attractive to Industry. Over and over we've been told by promising pros pect that our population la a little too small. The assertion thai more than 36,000 people live In the city and Its immediate suburbs doesn't seem to be Impressive. The cen sus report don't show It, and people prefer to believe the census reports. The problem of extending the city limits must be approached, If at all, from the angle of what Is best for everybody city and suburbs alike. It can be done only It a majority of the people con cerned Uilnk It Is the best thing to do. The problem seems to be at least worth thoughtful and Intelligent consideration, In general, there are public services that are wanted by Uie people. It Is reasonably pos sible thst Uiese services schools, parks, playgrounds, libraries, mu seums, public auditoriums, fire protection, sewage disposal, street naving, street cleaning, snow re moval In the winter, police pro tection, etc. can bo provided more effectively by one municipal organisation than by several. That has been the general ex perience nil over the country It Is one reason wny tnese puonc ser vices that people want are uniform ly better in the larger cities, This la no time to say we're going to do it. We WON'T do It un less a majority of the people con cerned want to do It. But - It la a very good time to study the problem carefully with the Idea of finding out what can be done and how much It will cost and what the benefits will be.
