Vietminh Units
Withdraw From
Heart Of Laos
HANOI, Indochina, (tf)—Sizable
Communist - led Vietminh units
were reported withdrawing yes
terday from the heart of Laos
after overrunning more than a
third of the Indochinese kingdom.
The move may — or may not —
mean an end of the 25-day Red
invasion of the peaceful little
French - associated state at the
back door of Thailand and Bur
ma.
French spokesmen cautiously
declined to estimate the scope of
the withdrawal but said the num
ber of rebel troops involved was
impressive. The Vietminh units
were pulling out of areas around
the royal residence city of Luang
P r a b a n g, the French-fortified
Plaine des Jarres and Zienghou
ang to the south.
Two reasons were advanced
here for the Red pullback:
The Reds apparently had over
stretched their supply lines in
their 200-mile dash south and
west from Viet Nam, another of
the three Indochinese states.
They also had lost their race to
overrun Laos before the seasonal
Monsoon rains. These are now be
ginning with ever-mounting force.
Whether or not the enemy
movement northward developes
into a general withdrawal, the
threat to Laos had lessened and
possibly even ended for the pres
ent.

ror have been increasing in Soviet
occupied East Germany.

Expect Increase in
Military Deliveries
To Free Nations
WASHINGTON, (£1 — Secretary
of Defense Wilson told Congress
Thursday the Eisenhower admin
istration expects that actual de
liveries of military equipment to
free nations will be increased
sharply in the 12 months begin
ning July 1.
He said the aim is to deliver
five billion dollars worth of mili
tary supplies to U.S. allies all over
the world compared to $3,800,
000,000 in anticipated actual de
liveries during the current fiscal
year ending June 31.
Wilson and Gen. Omar Bradley,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, were at the capitol to urge
approval of President Eisenhow
er’s request for $5,828,000,000 in
new foreign aid funds.
Bradley said the amount Eisen
hower asked for overseas military
aid was “considerably less” than
desired by Defense chiefs. He said
he saw nothing in the world situ
ation to warrant any slackening
of effort, adding that Russia’s
“atomic capacity is rapidly im
proving” and “the possibility of
war is still with us.”
Thursday
SEOUL, WP—The mighty battle
ship New Jersey and the cruisef
Bremerton steamed boldly into
Wonsan Harbor on Korea’s east
coast Thursday and bombarded
the battered Communist port and
communications hub for the sec
ond time in three days.
Big guns of the two warships
and an escorting destroyer opened
up a few hours after dive bombers
heavily damaged an important
Red metal processing plant in
northeastern Korea, only 100
miles from Siberia.
Sea and air forces provided vir
tually the only action. Fighting
along the twisting 155-mile battle
front was at a virtual standstill.
