Prahang Report First clash With Red Troops

HANDI. lndo-China, fAPi-The French defenders of Luang Pra- bang. royal capital of Laos. sun- day reported their first clash with Communist-led Vietminh invaders closing in for an assault on the palm-lined town.

A French and Laotian patrol ex- changed rifle fire with a small enemy unit about 1'1 miles north- east. of King Sisavang Vong's cap- ital. No casualties were reported.

lnvsdcrs Regrouplng

The main bulk of possibly 40.000 Vietminh troops continued to re- group and organize in the hills and mountains surrounding Luang Prabang. some strong elements are still 25 miles away. it. appeared more would be no direct attack until those are in position with ad- vance units now in to 12 miles away on the north and east.

French transports continued to shuttle more troops and war sup- pliers into the capital from Hanoi. 215 miles to the northeast. Luang Prabang's 6.000 civilians worked around the clock with French and Laotian soldiers bolstering the town's defences.

Ask For Transport:

in London. British Foreign Of- fices sources said France has asked Britain for transport planes for Ilse in Indo-China. The request came on the heels of I Washington announcement that unspecified "critically needed" military sup- plies are being rushed to the aid of Laos defenders.

Informed sources indicated there might be a. British token contribu- tion of civilian aircraft for the fndo-China airlift. In the British view. the sending of military tum. ports could result in a Communist Chinese decision to shift the brunt of their Asian expansionist drive from the Korean mountains to Indo-Chlna.Burma or Thailand.

CALCUTTA. tCPveOne of Brit- ainls famed new Comet. jet pas- senger planes crashed in a heavy storm near here Saturday and airline officials said all 43 persons aboard were killed.

It was the first disaster in the brief history of commercial jet. air travel and the first fatal crash of a Comet carrying a payload.

The four-jet airliner operated by the British Overseas Airways Cor- poration crashed only a few min- lites after it took off from Dum Dum airport here for New Delhi. It was on A flight from Singa- pore to London. Radio contact with the plane stopped six min- utes after it took off in a heavy rain.

No Survivors

A ground rescuc party reached the wreckage Sunday afternoon and reported none of the 31 pas- sengers and crew of six had sur- vived the crash. which occurred 22 miles northwest of Calcutta in barren country. Preliminary ire- ports said the crash mayhsve been caused by a fire or explosion shortly after take-off.

The victims included 11 women. one of them the stewardess. and two children.

The crash came on the first an- niversary nf Britain's profitable and dramatic 500-mile-an-hour jet travel service. The Slngspore-l..o,n- don schedule had been opened only recently. BOAC'8 eight Comets have carried 27.700 paying pas- sengers to many corners of the world in the past 12 months with- out a single death or injury.
