LXIII, No. 20-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1953 FOUR PAGES French Raid Key Supply Relay Base ParatrooPers Hit Red Stronghold 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. garrison at the ancient fortress city only ten miles from China's frontier. 4- * * * 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.

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.

Video Potential Not Utiie -Ditrich "We don't really know what television can do but we're going to do our best to find out in a hurry," Prof. John E. Dietrich of the University of Wisconsin said yesterday in the fourth lecture of the summer speech, conference. Prof. Dietrich told his audience that much talk about television is excited talk and that the attitudes of this talk are narrow. * * * * "THE CHALLENGE to us is to find out what the medium can do and whatrit cannot do," he said. "Television can do something for all of us, 'and we can do some-* thing for it."

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.

Mackinac Memorial Begun For Beaumont, St. Martin MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. - (R) - The Michigan State Med- ical Society yesterday laid the cornerstone for a $40,000 memorial to Dr. William Beaumont and his famous patient, Alexis St,.
