They left more than 1.000 killed and wounded on the battlefield, the French said. The defenders also suffered "appreciable losses" in bloody hand-to-hand fighting. but kept their airstrip open to evac- uate dead and wounded and fly in reinforcements.

The battle probably was the most savage yet fought in the seven years of war in Indo China.

If a choice is necessary, it will be made Tuesday by some 140 vot- ing delegates at the start of the formal two-day meeting.

Monday will be devoted to meet- inga of the party”s women's organ- ization snd the Young Progressive Conservative Association.
