Dulles Finds Formula
For Allied Unity in
Indochina Peace Talks
WASHINGTON, UO—Secretary
of State Dulles returned from
three-power talks at Paris Thurs
day saying “We hatfe found a
formula for constructive Allied
unity” which will strengthen 'the
anti-Communist position at nego
tiations on Indochina peace.
Dulles flew to Paris Monday
night and held emergency consul
tations with British Foreign Sec
retary Eden and French Premier
Mendes-France. One of his deci
sions was that Undersecretary of
State Walter Bedell Smith should
go to the Geneva Conference to
participate in the final round of
talks with the Reds on Indochina.
Diplomats here believe that
Dulles would not have agreed to
send Smith to Geneva to provide
high-level U.S. participation in
the conference unless he had as
surance from Mendes-France rul
ing out a peace at any price settle
ment.
In a statement upon his arrival
here, Dulles said the Paris talks
“have brought about an under
standing concerning Indochina
much more complete than has
heretofore existed.”
This, he added, enabled the
Western ministers “to demon
strate anew the solidarity of the
Western powers in the face of
Communist hostility and intrigue.”

Tourists Rescued
From Flood on
Alaska Highway
FAIRBANKS, W)—The story of
how a California man, his wife
and child escaped a flash flood
which washed over the Alaska
Highway last Saturday was told
here Wednesday in a radio mes
sage from the family.
The lucky trio were Frank
Gray, his wife, Susan, and their
12-year-o'ld son, of La Mesa, Calif.
They were enroute to San Diego
from Anchorage when they camp
ed in a public rest camp beside
a stream off the highway at Mile
1150 in northern Yukon Territory.
At 6:30 a.m. they woke to find
water pouring in their tent. They
jumped into their car but before*
it could be started the water was
four feet deep and the engine was
swamped.
Gray honked continuously on
the horn and attracted a party of
pipeline workers camped nearby.
They lashed two picnic tables to
gether and rescued Mrs. Gray and
the boy. Gray made his way to
safety unaided.
The car later was pulled from
the creek and the family has re
sumed its travels. Gray reported
the rescue through amateur radio
equipment he has in his car.
