WITH FRENCH FORCES AT
LANG SON, Indochina-(/P)-Five
thousand French Union parachute
troops yesterday captured and
wrecked Lang Son, the key relay
point for Red China's supplies to
the Vietminh, in the most daring
4 raid of the seven-year-old Indo-
chinese War.
The red-bereted raiders, drop-
ped in full daylight from transport
planes provided by the United
States, swiftly routed scattered de-
tachments of the Communist-led.

city only ten miles from China's
frontier.

THEN THEY speedily took up
the job of destroying military bar-
racks, supply depots and bridges
that had been battered by French
bombers and fighters for three
weeks. They blew up huge stores
of supplies and ammunition.
' Bridges over the Ky Cua River
linking Lang Son with China
were dynamited and B26 bomb-
ers ripped fresh gaps in the
highways over which the French
say the Vietminh has been get-
ting more than 3,000 tons of
war equipment a month.
The parachutists are not here
to stay. Lang Son, 85 miles north-
east of their headquarters city of
Hanoi, is too deep in enemy terri-
tory. It is 30 miles across the
jungles from French lines. Gen.
Rene Cogny, land commander in
the north, said the men were be-
ingwithdrawn since they had ac-
complished their mission.
THIS DISPATCH did not say
whether the raiders would head
out by air or by land. A French
officer in Caigon expressed belief
they would withdraw through the
jungles. He forecast they would
have to do some hard fighting.
The raid underscores the aim of
Gen. -Pierre Navarre, the new
French commander in chief, to
try to end the war within the
next 18 months.
Vermont Man
Faces Ouster
BURLINGTON, Vt.- () -For
ignoring an ultimatum to answer
.aSenate investigating committee,
Prof. Alex P. Novikoff of the Uni-
versity of Vermont was suspended
from his position on the faculty.
The university trustees gave the
40-year-old professor of biochem-
istry until midnight Thursday to
t consent to tell the Jenner internal
security subcommittee his activi-
ties prior to 1948 when hescame to
the university.
Failure to comply, the trustees
said in their June 20 announce-
ment, would automatically sus-
pend Prof. Novikoff.
Since the issue of the ultimatum,
Prof. Novikoff has remained silent.
Although he testified before the
Jenner committee last April that
he had not been a Communist
since 1948, he refused to answer
committee questions about his
activities prior to that year.

Soviets Send
Tanks Back
To E. Berlin
BERLIN - () - The Russians
sent 30 tanks back to East Berlin
yesterday to choke off a new wave
of anti-Communist strikes before
they erupt into another revolt like
that of June 17.
It was just one month ago that
two million rioting workers shook
the Red empire with their mass
uprising throughout East Ger-
many.
ALARMED BY a creeping pa-
ralysis of strikes the Russians
moved quickly and menacingly.
Columns of tanks began -rumbling
into East Berlin soon after mid-
night Thursday.
They clanked along Stalin
Allee-where the June 17 re-
volt bega--in a display of force
obviously intended to frighten
still rebellious East Berliners into
submission.
It was assumed here that simi-
liar tank operations were develop-
ing on other Soviet Zone cities
where the strikers are most active.
** *
TWO BIG strike centers were
the Soviet-owned Buna synthetic
rubber plant at Merseburg and
the Zeiss optical works at Jena.
The Buna plant has been par-
alyzed since Wednesday by a
sitdown strike of 14,000 workers.
Zeiss employes struck last Sat-
urday.
The strikers demand release of
their comrades arrested in the
June riots, firing of their Commu-
nist bosses-and more food.
FOOD BECAME perhaps the
sorest point after Moscow rejected
an offer of the United States to
deliver 15 million dollars worth
of supplies to East Germany.
Thousands of East Berliners
have stormed a West Berlin relief
market in the last few days to get
the bare-shelved Communist stores
supplies they could not obtain
in the bare-shelved Communist
stores.

Session Set
For Today
Troops Advance
AlongKumsong
By The Associated Press
The Reds asked for and got a
one-day extension until today for
the truce talk recess called Thurs-
day after the Allies had made
clear their position that it was
time for an armistice.
The Communist request was
made at a morning meeting of
liaison officers which lasted only
one minute. The additional delay
could mean that the Reds had
not formulated their reply to the
firm Allied demand that it was
time to get down to business.
THE NEXT SESSION now is set
for midnight today.
A Peiping radio broadcast in-
sisted yesterday that "the Amer-
icans are responsible for hold-
ing up the talks." It asked rhet-
orically whether "the American
side is prepared to break off the
negotiations."
Meanwhile, South Korean in-
fantry'advanced cautiously in the
battle-devastated Kumsong Riv-
er Valley yesterday, recovering
some of the 60-square-mile area
lost to Chinese Reds in the first
open warfare in Korea in almost
two years.
THE FOOT sloggers of the Re-
public of Korea 2nd Corps, led
by a few tanks, ran into small
pockets of resistance left over from
the big 10-division Red push Mon-
day and Tuesday, when the Com-
munists at high cost straightened
out the Allied Kumsong bulge in
East-Central Korea.
In the first disclosure of how
far the Reds pushed, Gen. Max-
well D. Taylor, U. S. 8th Army
commander, said yesterday that
tLe new Kumsong front now ran
from a point slightly northeast
of Kumhwa due east for 20 miles
to the Pukhan River. This meant
a Red advance of up to seven
miles.
Eighth Army restrictions for
military security reasons prevent-
ed exact reporting of the front-
line situation yesterday.
THERtE WERE reports of ROK
2nd-Corps' 3-division advance, but
no details were given.
On the western half of the
Kumsong sector, at the center
of the 155-mile battleline, ar-
tillery carried on most of the
action yesterday.
Officers in the area said they
had spotted what was possibly a
Red division concentrating above
the center of the ROK 2nd Corps'
front. A Communist division nor-
mally is about 8,000 men. The mo-
tive of this division concentration
was not immediately known.'
TAYLOR in announcing that an
estimated 10 Red divisions struck
the Allied line Monday called the
Allied counter-movement the "first
resumption of open warfare in
nearly two years."
It was in the fall of 1951 that
the 8th Army, then commanded
by Gen. Janles A. Van Fleet, push-
ed forward and created the Kum-
song bulge which the Reds erased
this week.
The Air Force put its heaviest
effort yesterday into bombing the
Chinese in their newly won posi-
tions. The fliers dropped more
than 600 tons of bombs in more
than 500 sorties in the Kumsong
area alone.
