Larry Allen. AP correspondent who
hu been covering the fighting In
thai 'area lor the pant couple ol
yearn says thin morning an Indo
china Dunkcrque la apparently In
the making.
II ao, tha French will have to get
Ihrlr troopa aboard ships at Urn
, port ol Haiphong, at tha mouth ol
tha Red River, and Allen aaya II
will be a tough Job because the
communist! are expected to launch
II heavy attack with overwhelming
y auperlor lorcea.
The Prcnch. In that event, will
face the terribly dilllcult Job ol
lichtlng oil the numerically au
perlor attacker while they are
totting their troop aboard alilpa at
laiphong.
But that Isn't all.
Allen aaya that not only will the
French have to cope with auperlor
numbers ol attacking communists.
At Iha aatna time, ha thinks, they
will have to taca uprisings on the
part o( tha Vietnamese natlvea.
He adds:
' "THROUGHOUT TUB INDO.

REBELS."
If Correspondent Allen known
what he la talkuig about, what he
aaya Mine a moat lnlerresllng and
highly important question:
If we had Intervened on tha aide
of the French In the Indochina war
or If we ahould do ao yet
whrra would that put uaT
This, I think, la the answer:
In the eyes of the people of South
east Asia, it would put ua on tha
aide of the colonial Imperialists
WHOM THE PEOPLE OP THAT
PART OP THE WORLD HATE
AND FEAR MORE THAN THEY
HATE AND FEAR THE COM
MUNISTS. It'a a good thing wo haven't In
tervened on the aide of the French
ao far, and I certainly hope we
have the good common sense to
atay out of It from here on out.
We. who wera the first people
In the world to throw off the yoke
of colonial Imperialism, have no
business flghttng on the aide of
the colonial lmporlallata In Asia.
80 much for a situation in Asia
that could be explosively danger-
011a for our country If we make
the wrong move. Let'a turn now to
a situation In our own yard that
has been doing the good name of
Klamath county no good ao far
and can do great harm In the lu
ture.
I'm referring, of course, to the
unfortunate situation that has ari
en In our law enforcement proced.
ures a altuAlion that as of now
is drifting In the direction of a
breakdown In law enforcement.
In tha eyes of the public, at
least, thla situation has developed
into a controversy between Dis
trict Attorney Alderaon and Cir
cuit Judge Vnndenberg, Aldoraon
has taken the position that he Is
being persecuted by the Judge.
Judge Vnndenbarg'a ' position Is
that Alderaon la an Incompetent
prosecutor whoso Indictments are
defective and whose trial methods
are not In accordance with Ore
gon law or thn general laws ol
evidence aa built up over centur
ion of experience.
Tills morning Chief Justice La
tourette of the state supreme
court asilgnod Circuit Judgo Ralph
Holman ' to ' handle the Klamath
county orlmlnal enses In which mo
tions have boen filed by District
Attorney Alderaon to 'disqualify

The assignment of an outside
Judgo to hear these controversial
cases la an Important atop In the
direction of clearing up a situation
thai is rapidly becoming intoler
able. If tilings go on as they have
been going, law enforcement In
Klamath county will break down
entirely.

The French command Thurs
day announced they were pulling
oul of such Important and heavily
populated centers as I'hut Diem,
Thai Blnh, Nam Dlnli and Nlnh
Blnh, all within 65 to 15 miles
south and southeast ol Hanoi.
That automatically meant an
area embracing thoussnds of vil
lagan peopled by around four mil
lion Vietnamese were dropping In
to the hands of the troops of Viei
minh Oen. Vo Nguyen Olsp.
Il also meant that while these
millions were being abandoned to
communism, the French soon
would be shakily controlling only
the lifeline between Hanoi and
Haiphong and a strip of territory
In northeastern Indochina Includ
ing the town of Moncny on the
Chinese border.
Thst too, however, msy soon be
given up as the French concen
trate all Ihelr defensive power
In the do-or-dle sector between
Hanoi and Haiphong.
Barring a cease-fire, the Viei
minh are oxpected quickly to hit
the lifeline with a massive human
sea attack that could crush the
French Union forces.
Whether the delta then Is swept
by monsoon rains will make Utile
difference.

Peace Talks
Broken Up
By CARLOS R. E8CUDERO '
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
Cfi Guatemala's rival anti-Com
munist chieftains haggled until
nearly dawn today in a vain" effort
to agree on a peace settlement
which would give their war-split
land its fourth government in a
week.
The peace talks between rebel
Col. Carlos Castillo Armas and Ool
Elfego Monzon, head of Guate
mala's new governing Junta, broke
up at 3:35 a.m. Castillo Armss
announced he was returning to his
rebel headquarters at Chiquimula.
In a atatement issued to news
men, both lesders said they were
extending until 0 ajn. tomorrow
the cease-fire in effect between the
rebels and the Guatemalan army
El Salvador's President. Oscar
Osorfct. acting as mediator, voiced
optimism that a settlement could
be reached.
But real peace seemed remote
as Monzon'a Junta, rushed troops
to Communist strong points in
Guatemala where vengeful Red
leaders were reported trying to
foment peasant uprisings. Red
indoctrinated farm workers were
said to be inciting revolt in Es
culntla, Pinula. and Conception,
hotbeds of communism about 10
miles from Guatemala City.
- Monzon declined to say whether
he was returning to the Guate
malan capital, but it was believed
generally be would.
The Joint statement said the
cease-fire had been extended in
order to- give both parties' time -to
consider end study various propos
als to reacn an accord."
Neither side would disclose what
proposals were involved nor what
particular point caused disagree

The amount of aid to be ' allot

The crest of the flood rolled est

count of dead still stood at n,

more were under the 10 to la foot

that once were homes. ' j

Thousands of campers atin in
the hills of Mexico by the Rio

trucks that brought canned milk
over for the 38,000 people of Flee

muddy water in the streets. Tha
health problem was tremendous.
Downstream 100 miles at Laredo
and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, with
a population of almost 60,000 each,
there was the mud. The river waa
back in its banks but daylight
showed clearly that the interna

gone. The . railroad bridge waa
gone, too. -i
