FRENCH LAUNCH AIRCRAFT Rebel Troops Only Six Miles from Capital City HANOI, Indochina — The French command launched a series of air attacks today against Communist rebels threatening to surround this headquarters city while French Union troops battled Red forces at Xuamxuam, a little more than six miles from the city itself. Vietnam Demands Halt to Fighting In Indo-China GENEVA (UP) — The anti-Communist government of Viet Nam, Indochina, today demanded a halt to the Indochinese fighting under international safeguards, acceptance by the Reds of Emperor Bao Dai as the national leader and eventual free elections under U.N. supervision. Vietnam also served notice it will never accept partition as a way to end the fighting and bring peace to the war-torn country. The plan put forward by the Viet Nam delegation strongly stressed the requirement for international supervision of any settlement. Twenty six bombers, a big mission for the tiny air force declimated at Dien Bien Phu, took off this morning to pound at supply depots and Communist-held village citadels between Hanoi and the sea along the supply route the Reds are trying to cut. A high French general told reporters the situation in the Hanol Delta was 'serious but not desperate.' These were the same words used at one time to describe the fortress of Dien Bien Phu and did little to ease the tension in Hanoi. Today's plane attacks were directed at targets 35 miles southeast of here as the rebels pushed steadily in on the delta triangle, the richest piece of Indochina territory still in French Union hands. The French high command refused to disclose result of the counter-attack against the post on the outskirts of Hanoi seized yesterday in a series of strong attacks from the west, but sent out the tiny French air force to bomb and strafe rebel positions. The French high command was reported to have ordered a French team to shut down Dien Bien Phu. Vietnam also served notice it will never accept partition as a way to end the fighting and bring peace to the war-torn country. The plan put forward by the Viet Nam delegation strongly stressed the requirement for international supervision of any settlement reached and of any elections held. In his position it was reported to be backed by the French Cabinet which earlier today instructed its delegates that there must be international supervision of any settlement, rather than the local supervision proposed by the Communists. French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault met with Viet Nam Foreign Minister Nguyen Quoc Dinh while delegations of six western nations conferred separately. Informed sources said Bidault underscored France's desire to limit the Indochina truce talks to a purely military settlement at this state. Bidault said, according to the sources, there was a remote possibility of reaching an accord with the Communist Indochinese that would end the shooting. But Bidault said France would insist on international supervision of any armistice agreement without making any compromises on this point. The French foreign minister announced he would make known France's position again at the resumption of talks today. French sources said the Communist peace plan could not be accepted in its present form because it called for local supervision in Indochina, which eventually would lead to Red domination. Some French quarters expressed fear their government's chances were not improved by U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' press conference statements yesterday. Dulles' remarks in Washington were being interpreted in Geneva as an indication the United States had all but written off hope of saving Indochina. The U.S. delegation was so concerned by French reaction to Dulles statement that at midnight last night it issued excerpts from the secretary's press conference remarks in an attempt to reassure the French the United States was not abandoning Indochina.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1954 VOL XXXI NO. 224 At 'Extreme Pressure' on Army Adams Charges McCarthy Aide 'Abused' Him WASHINGTON (UP) — Army counselor John G. Adams testified today that Roy M. Cohn heaped "abuse" on him and brought "extreme pressure" on the Army in an effort to get special favors for his drafted friend, Pvt. G. David Schine. Adams, who replaced Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens on the witness stand on the 15th day of the Army-McCarthy hearings, also testified that Cohn flew into a rage and declared "this is war", when Highway Patrol Denies Ticket 'Quota' Charges ORANGE (OCNS) — Capt. H. C. Null, officer in charge of the Orange County State Highway Patrol office, today categorically denied charges that officers have been ordered on an "all - out campaign to write more citations." "The report I read in the papers" Capt. Null said, "was atrocious, irresponsible, and not true." He said that the highway patrol, with headquarters on South Main street in Orange, has had no orders to "write more tickets." "Nor are my officers under instruction from me or anyone else to write so many tickets a day or a month." Capt. Null said the so-called 'scoreboard' referred to in news stories merely was the monthly citation report forwarded to state headquarters every month. "The report," he said, "is an old routine we've had for many years." WASHINGTON (UP) — Army counselor John G. Adams testified today that Roy M. Cohn heaped "abuse" on him and brought "extreme pressure" on the Army in an effort to get special favors for his drafted friend, Pvt. G. David Schine. Adams, who replaced Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens on the witness stand on the 15th day of the Army-McCarthy hearings, also testified that Cohn flew into a rage and declared "this is war". when Stevens barred him from a secret radar laboratory at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., last Oct. 20. The 42-year-old Army counsel related in detail how Cohn, chief counsel of SEN. Joseph R. McCarthy's Investigating Subcommittee, put "extreme pressure" on him to get a New York assignment for Schine, unpaid "chief consultant" of the subcommittee before he was drafted last Nov. 3. Adams estimated that, in telephone calls alone, Cohn brought up the Schine question an average of once a day from Nov. 10 to Dec. 9. Asked by subcommittee special counsel Ray H. Jenkins if it was "terrific pressure," Adams explained that it surpassed all similar pressure combined in his Pentagon experience. "The abuse I took regarding Schine," he said in a calm, deliberate voice "'... If you'd pile together the abuse I took from all members of Congress and congressional employees over five years, it would not compare," with that in the Schine case. "Abuse from whom?" Jenkins asked. "From Cohn," Adams replied. After spending several days wrangling over side issues and procedure, the subcommittee returned again to the core of the controversy, the alleged pressures which both sides attribute to each other in the Schine case.

Null said the so-called "scoreboard" referred to in news stories merely was the monthly citation report forwarded to state headquarters every month.

The only way the highway patrol can help stem the increasing accident rate is to cite cafe-less drivers before they are involved in accidents, he added.

As traffic increases on the highways, our task becomes increasingly difficult. But no officer is under any ticket - writing quota at any time.'"
