WASHINGTON. (AP) -— senate investigators said Saturday night a Communist “fifth column", with some United states citizens in its ranks. is operating within the United Nations secretariat.

"There are strong indications." they reported. "that this ‘fifth column’ also includes citizens of other non-Communist countries."

U. S. Official Seeks Support - for United Front

LONDON, Reuters)—John Fos- tar Dulles flew into London Sun- day on a whirlwind trip to try to win Britain and France over to his plan for a “united front" in the Indo-China war.

Into conference with Foreign sec- retary Eden a few hours after his plane arrived from Washington.

During his two days in London. Dulles also will confer with Prime Minister Churchill. On Tuesday he will fly to Paris.

At London airport. Dulles said his London visit has two mean- Ings:

“First. we believe that the sit- uation in Indo-China is a danger to both our countries. as well as others.

“And. secondly. whenever there is a common danger, we like to talk together in the great Intim- .-.<~y which there is between our countries."

Warning To China

Dulles’ proposals Include a strong Big Three warning to Com- munist China against further in- tcrventlon in France’: war against the Communist-led Vletmlnh reb- els in lndo-China.

He wants the West to issue Ihis warning before the Geneva conference on lndo-China and Korea. which will open in 15 days. with Russia and Commun- isl China participating.

Both Britain and France agree in principle with this suggestion. But they are against issuing sucn n warning before the Geneva talks on the grounds that it might prejudice the already slen- der chance of a negotiated truce with the Communists on indo- China.

LONDON, (Reuiers)——The Krem- lin Sunday prepared the way for the Geneva Far Eastern confer- ence, opening April 36. by charg- ing that the United States wants to wage a. war of destruction against Communist Ohiiia.

Pravda. in an icy editorial blast against U. S. Far Eastern policy. darkly hinted that the United State govemmerii. may be pre- paring to use against China “any means of mass destruction. up to atomic weapons."

The Communist party newspaper claimed that Russia and China are the big powers which want a gen- uine peace settlement in the Far East.

The Pravda editorial. broadcast in full by Moscow radio. argued that the prospect of peace fright- ens “American monopolists, with their backs to the wau owing to the approaching economic oriais. They see an escape vent in war."

Must Be Destroyed

Pravda. quoted the Christian science Monitor for the view that "there are influential people in the state department and the Pen- tagon in whose opinion the Corn- munist Chinese regime must sooner or later be destroyed."

Pravda, ans-woring a recent statement by State secretary -10h“ Foster Dulles. said it was not China,but the United stateawhich was actively participating in "the aggression against Indo-Chine."

The paper added: “The United States is sending planes. guns. tanks. shells. napalm. The United States is sending its pilots there “no are taking part in military operations on the frontiers of In- do-China.
