Expect French To Ask More U. S. Aid For War In Indo- China

By John M. Hlghtower

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11 --(AP) --Premier Rene Mayer of Francois expected by officials here to seek a substantial increase in United States aid for Indo-China when he calls on President-elect Eisenhow- rr

Mayer is one of a number of foreign leaders due to follow the path blazed last week by Prime Minister Churchill to Eisenhower's door.

It is important to all European Governments to know what lines of action Eisenhower will follow on major foreign problems. But almost all have a primary concern with some particular relationship with the U. S. In the case of France this comes down to Ameri- can aid and what the ,U. S. in- tends to do about Indo-China.

There is some belief that Eisen- hower may give a different answer from that which previous French officials have obtained. The Tru- man administration has given the impression of treating various sectors of the for eastern struggle against Communism as separate fronts unrelated except in their demand on American and Allied resources.

informants have reported, how- ever, that Eisenhower and his secretary of state-designate, John Foster Dulles. hope to link the several Far Eastern fights with a. single grand strategy. Such abroad plan would have the effect of ap- plying maximum pressure on Com- munist China. and giving the Reds a defensive concern for their sec- urity. If effective. this could bani- per Communist activities in Korea. where America carries the big bur- deli. and in ilndo-China where French and native forces are fight- ing the Communists.

Such a strategy might mean in- creased U. S. aid to Indo-China, on condition that France's effort there he stepped up and co-ordinated with an offensive in Korea to try to end the Far Eastern fighting.

The war in Indo-China is cost- ing the French about 51.100.000.000 a year. The U.S. is helping finance about one-quarter of this total by supplying economic aid to France at the rate of about s25o.ooo.ooo a year.

In addition the U. S. is furnish- lng military equipment to French and native forces in Indo-China at the rate of about 5250,000.000 a year.

Army Making Effort To -Tighlen Adminislralion

OTTAWA. Jan. 11 -(CF) The army is making a frontal as- sault on a. chronic military prob- lem-too much paper warfare-and tightening up its administration in the process. I

A general and two brigadlers were directed last summer to make a six-months' study to see what could be done to cut down onlthe avalanche traditionally described as paper war-reports. memoran- dums. recommendations. announce- ments and other documents.

The group was headed by Maj.- Gen. Howard Graham, former vice-chief of the General Staff and now head of the army's Central Command with headquarters at Oakville. Ont. It included Briga- diers Frank Fleury and A. E. Knight who head area commands with headquarters at Quebec City and Kingston respectively.

Their report pointed out a num- ber of weaknesses and the army says they are now being corrected.

It found. for instance. that branches at headquarters some- times were issuing orders without first consulting other branches dir- ectly involved. thus leading to confusion at local levels.

A system of weekly meetings by branch heads to ensure that no orders go out without all branches being aware of them has been initiated as a result of the findings of what is known as iioperation paperchase.”

Reveals Information On Study Of Virus Diseases

Dr. Puck and associates are working mainly with a virus. bacteriophage. which attacks and kills pertain bacteria.

The virus. they find. first picks up a positive ion. an electrically- charged particle. from body fluids. The ion alters the surface of the virus so that it is attracted to its target cell.

The 'flu virus works the same way. getting an electrical hook to attack human blood cells. All vir- uses may work the same way.

The grabbing is fast and effl- "cicni, Puck lays. Every time a virus collides with its tslrget cell. it sticks unerringly.

In test-tubes. ihd virus invasion can be stopped by adding fluid: which prevent the virus from picking up its electrical hook or by supplying the wrong kind of eleclri l hooks. Whether such prevenion can be applied prac- tically is something for -future

Papal law Eases Rules of East in Sometases

l By Frank Brulto

VATICAN CITY. Jan. ll -(AP; - The Pope, in an historic law for the Roman Catholic Church. Saturday eased under certain specific conditions 3- rules of fast for Catholics before they receive holy communion.

In all instances and for all Cath- olics the Pope decreed that. hence- forth. taking of ordinary water does not constitute a break of the necessary fast before receiv- ing the Eucharist.

Until now. Catholics have been lequired-except. in urgent emerg- encies such as danger of death- to abstain from all food and drink from midnight of the day before leceiving the Eucharist.

In his new law the Pontiff also

ruled-again under specific cir- cumstances-that the Mass may be celebrated in the evening (af-

ter 4 RM.) instead of in the morn- ing. as normally required.

The Pope. in his law. said that he was moved to this change by the demands of modern times.

He referred specifically to the needs of workers. many of them on night shifts. mothers. the sick. children, missionaries in distant lands and the church in countries where it faces difficulties and per- secution.

He referred also, in the words of an official Vatican summary, "io
