French Told (I- S.
In Advance About
Delta Nan, They Say
Sy tea AitocioM Pi•***
PARIS, July 3.—A French For
eign Ministry spokesman In
sisted today the United States
had been informed in advance
of the abandonment* to the
Communist-led Viet Minh of the
southern portion of the Red
River Delta in Indo-Chlna,
The spokesman said there have
been constant contacts between
French and United States offi
cials in France, the United States
and Indo-China. The withdraw
al, known as “Operation Au
vergne,” was planned a month
ago.
Asked about the discrepancy
between this statement and
State Department Press Officer
Henry Suydam’s of yesterday,
denying that information had
been received in advance, the
French spokesman offered two
possible explanations:
1. "Certain people” are doing
their best to make trouble be
tween the United States and
France.
2. Information sometimes fails
to get passed between the De
fense Department and the State
Department in the United States.
There was no immediate com
ment on the United States ex
pression of “grave concern” over
the operation. The Ministry has
denied the withdrawal was a re
sult of a secret agreement with
the Viet Minh, or was anything
but a military operation, dictated
by the need to strengthen French
lines.

Viet Nam Appeals
ForU. N.Role in Any
Eventual Armistice
By tha Associated Press
GENEVA, July 3.—Viet Nam,
the Indo-China state whose
status Is being undermined by
French military withdrawals in
the Red River Delta, yesterday
appealed for a United Nations
role in any eventual Indo-Chi
nese armistice.
Speaking to the Indo-China
conference on the issue of armi
stice control, Buu Kinh, acting
head of the Viet Namese dele
gation, said the only effective
control for a cease-fire would be
one provided by the United Na
tions.
Mr. Kinh strongly criticized
any plan wfiich would place a
Communist state on the Armi
stice Control Commission armed
with a veto power under a rule
of unanimity. Experience has
shown, he said, that a Commu
nist state can not be truly im
partial.
"Fundamental” Problem.
Mr. Kinh termed the issue of
control machinery for an armi
stice a “fundamental” program,
according to Viet Namese
sources. He said several weeks
of debate in the nine-party con
ference had failed to bridge the
deep differences of opinion on
this question.
Earlier in today’s session,
Russian and French officials ap
peared to differ on the relation
ship between the projected
neutral control commission and
the various “mixed commis
sions” which would supervise an
armistice.
In conference language, a
mixed commission would be one
composed of representatives ol
the Communist-led Viet Minh
regime on one hand and repre
sentatives of France, Viet Nam,
Laos or Cambodia on the other,
They would be “mixed” in the
sense that they would be bi
partite bodies bringing togethei
the current battlefield opponents
French Head Praised.
V. V. Kouznetsov, Soviet Dep
uty Foreign Minister, praised
Jean Chauvel, acting head ol
the French delegation, at one
point, according to Western
sources, for having abandoned
French claims that the mixed
commissions would be subordi
nate to the international neu
tral commission.
Mr. Chauvel, according to
French sources, stressed that
more progress could perhaps be
accomplished in private direct
contacts between delegations at
this stage.
This was a reference to the
talks Mr. Chauvel has been hav
ing here with Red Chinese and
Russian officials. Mr. Chauvel
was host at dinner last night
to the Soviet envoy and has in
vited a group of Communist
Chinese to dinner tonight.
The conference scheduled its
next session for Tuesday.

CHICAGO, July 3.—A Cham

Police found William C, Groebl,

Red China from being seated in
the General Assembly of the

This official, who asked not

this Government is that it will
be able to continue to block the
admission of the. Communist
regime as the representative of
China in the U. N.
In the Security Council the

By tea Associated Prass
RATINGEN, Germany, July 3.

The local social welfare office

had been released on the condi

United States officials refused

Milch was convicted at the

sentenced to life imprisonment
for advocating and exploiting

no veto.
This fear was one of the factors
which produced a flurry of de
bate in the Senate this week
over the need for a re-appraisal
of American foreign policy.
These demands also were based
on a fear that some of this
country’s allies may not stand
firmly against admitting Red
China.
Experts say that whether it
would take a two-thirds vote to
recognize the Chinese Commu

the question is raised.

Guatemalan Rebels'
Triumph Clouded by
Junta Compromise
By (La Associated Pros*
GUATEMALA. July 3 (JP). —
Rebel Leader Col. Carlos Castillo
Armas planned to fly to this
Capital today to
discuss his role In Guatemala’s
new anti-Communlst govern
ment. But dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the leader’s “Liberation
Army” dimmed the triumph of
the occasion.
Col. Castillo acknowledged at
hie Chiquimula headquarters
yesterday that “most of my men
are not satisfied with the agree
ment reached in Sal Salvador."
The peace pact, signed with
Col. Elf ego Monzon in the cap
ital of neighboring El Salvador,
patched together a five-man
junta. Col. Monzon was allowed
to remain on as government
chief until the junta elected a
permanent head in 15 days.
It was not known whether
Col. Monzon also planned to
return to the Guatemalan cap
ital today.
Gay Fiesta Fizzles.
Both colonels were expected
back yesterday, and Guatemala
put on a big fiesta to welcome
them. The celebration, starting
out gaily with popping fireworks
and clanging church bells, fizzled
out as the two men failed to
show up.
Col. Castillo flew back to Chi
quimula to explain the San Sal
vador settlement to his disap
pointed aides and prepare his
troops for entry into the capital.
He told reporters in Chiqui
mala his top subordinates had
wanted to push ahead with the
rebellion until the Guatemalan
Army surrendered uncondition
ally. He said, however, he was
satisfied with the settlement end
ing the two-week revolt because
it was victory oyer the Reds.
“I am entirely sure,” he
added, “the junta will eliminate
the Communists.”
Col. Castillo expressed confi
dence his followers “all will stay
with me, although the confer
ence with Col. Monzon “was not
entirely decisive.” The rebel
chief said he would keep his
troops in readiness until "we
make arrangements” on the po
litical front.
Question of Top Power.
Still to be resolved was the
question of whether Col. Castillo
or Col. Monzon would wield top
power. Besides the two leaders,
the five-man junta includes one
member of Col. Castillo’s insur
gent government and two from
Col. Monzon’s regime. Junta de
cisions will be by majority vote.
This would appear to give Col.
Monzon the upper hand. It was
speculated, however, that Col.
Castillo hoped to swing a ma
jority to hi* side in the two
weeks before a permanent gov
ernment head is elected.
By ousting the regime of ex-
President Jacobo Arbenz Guz
man last Sunday, Col. Castillo
said yesterday, the revolution
ists “destroyed the Communist
government ol Guatemala” and
achieved the first part of their
program.
He explained that the peace
agreement “puts us In a good
position to accomplish our pro
gram of reorganization of the
country, to put the government
in the best possible hands and
finally to create for Guatemala
a democratic system of govern
ment. This was the second phase
of our program.’
Col Castillo said he would dis
cuss his plans with army and
government leaders upon his ar
rival in the capital.
Round Up 400 Reds.
In the capital the govern
ment announced yesterday that
400 Communists had been
rounded up within a radius of
30 miles of the capital, but it
was admitted that top Red lead
ers had eluded capture, going
underground or taking refuge in
foreign embassies.
Two former officials in the
Arbenz regime turned up in
Mexico and were granted polit
ical asylum. The pair, who fled
in a private plane, were Rogelio
Cruz Wer, who had headed the
national police, and Jaime Ros
enberg, former chief of the
secret police.
Also from Mexico City came
word the Peace Committee'of
the Organization of American
States (OAS) had decided to
return from there to Washing
ton today without going on to
Guatemala for an on-the-spot
investigation. The committee
had intended to look Into
charges by Arbenz that Hon
duras and Nicaragua provided
bases for aggression against Gua
temala.

U. S. Agent Is Unsung Hero
Os Revolution in Guatemala
.By Martin S. Hayden
North Amor icon Nowtpapor Alliance.
Somewhere there ip an un
sung hero of the now-concluded
Guatemalan revolution.
He is a still anonymous Amer
ican espionage agent who tun
neled through a mound of Com
munist documentary camou
flage and uncovered a $lO mil
lion shipment of Red arms that
was to have made secure Mos
cow’s first major foothold in
the Americas.
That, the now-revealed story
indicates, was the key step that
upset a Soviet infiltration plan
and let the rag-tag jungle forces
of Carlos Castillo Armas win
the most publicized Central
American revolution of the gen
eration. At the same time, it
short-circuited, at least tempo
rarily, the plaint of right-wing
critics that the United States
Central Intelligence Agency is a
bumbling, New Dealish amateur
at the cloak-and-dagger business
of espionage and counterespio
nage.
U. S. Was Concerned.
For months prior to its arrival
in the headlines, American offi
cials had been concerned over
the Guatemalan situation. They
had witnessed the feat of a smart
politician, President Jacobo Ar
benz Guzman, who had parlayed
anti-Americanism, popular dis
like of the United Fruit Co. and
a couple of strategic assassina
tions to install an openly pro-
Communist regime.
On top of that he had achieved
what no other South American
leftist had been able to get:
The loyalty of non-Communist
army officers bam-boozled by
the theory that they could prob
ably trust the new president
and that, if they couldn’t, they
always had the .guns to upset
him.
The State Department dis
patched one of its top envoys,
Ambassador John Peurifoy, from
Greece to-Guatemala City and
watched a succession of damag
ing Arbenz moves: His liquida
tion of foreign capital and do
mestic anti-Communists, threat
ening gestures toward his neigh
bors and a series of encouraged
strikes that spread across the
border to idle more than 40,000
workers in neighboring Hon
duras.
Against Arbeni were the facts
of growing discontent at home
and an increasing number of
exiles boiling to start a revolu
tion under Col. Armas’ leader
ship. But, unless the United
States wanted to forget all its*
non-intervention treaties and
use force, nothing could be done
until something shook the com
placency of the Guatemalan
army which, 7,000 strong, is the
largest in Central America.
The “something" that did the
trick was the work of the un
named agent of the CIA. Some
how he got the tip that led him
through a maze of faked mani
fests and dummy agents to the
May 15 revelation of 1,900 tons
of Polish arms shipped to Guate
mala through a Swedish spe
cialist in Communist arms trans
actions.
The revelation that Arbenz
had paid cash for an arms order
so far beyond his normal needs
shook every capital in the area.
But, most important, it shook
the Guatemalan Army, whose
leaders had never heard of the
weapons transaction until the
American radio blared it to the
world. It fitted into what per
haps Mr. Peurifoy and certainly
others had been telling them—
i.e. that the day would come
when Arbenz would arm his
peasant and Communist labor
followers and strip from the
army its power to decide who
should rule Guatemala.
The word that the army was
disturbed was the signal for Col.
Armas to start marching. The
tiny Guatemalan air force
promptly deserted. The army,
after wavering for a week, fol
lowed suit, tad Arbenz resigned
and took refuge with nearly 100
of his followers in a Mexican

Embassy so crowded that the
Ambassador had to hire an ad
joining building to hide the
newly created class of Guate
malan exiles.
Through It all, the State De
partment and the CIA worked
and fretted in double harness
while Communists screamed “in
tervention” and home-front crit
ics cried out at the “bungled”
gamble on the barefoot Armas
army. Late last Monday night
Mr. Peurifoy flashed the word
to Washington that the work of
an American agent on the Swe
dish water front had paid off in
the death of the Communist re
gime in Guatemala.
