fROAY. APRIL 3'o, 19.4 Efforts at Korean Unity Bog Down in Argument GENEVA, April 29 (W)—East and West appeared to have cleared the way tonight for talks on the war.in Indochina. Efforts to reach agreement on a formula for Korean . unity,bogged down in a welter of old . and repetitious argument. While Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov was solidly back ing Red Chinese and North Ko rean plans for a divided Korea in the conference hall, a French of ficial announced the last obstacle to calling the conference on Indo china appeared to have been surmounted. The Indochinese conference pos sibly could: get under way next week. It will bring together the Big Four powers, Red China, the three Associated States of Indo china, Viet Nam, Laos, and Cam bodia, and the Vietminh repre sehtatives. Molotov had insisted on the in clusion of the Vietminh. Th e French had long resisted such an invitation. . The agreement had nothing to do with negotiations to reach a truce at Dien Bien Phu, which have noW collapsed. M 0 loto v wanted to bring Vietminh repre sentatives here to discuss a truce which would permit evacuation of the Frendh wounded from Dien Bien Phu. Molotov's speech today was not able for one more effort to bring China into a Big Five and his support of the Chinese demand yesterday for an "Asia for the Asians" program.

Dickenson waived his right to testify in his own de fense today on charges that he in= formed on fellow prisoners of war in Korea and' collaborated with the Chinese Communists.

The defense then rested its case after an 8 1 / 2 day court-marital trial during which Dickenson was pictured alternately as: 1. Trying to curry favor with his Red captors by acting as a stool pigeon. 2. A victim of intimidation and cajolery - by the Cornmunists. The case will go the eight-mem ber court tomorrow after closing arguments by both sides. If con victed, Dickenson would be , liable to a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment. 30 Atomic Cannon Placed in Germany FRANKFURT, Germany ; April 29 (R)—U.S. Army sources said today there are now 30 atomic cannon in West Germany capable of defending a 150-mile Rhine River front against Soviet ground attack.

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA French Raiders Strike Vietminh, Kill 70 Rebels HANOI, Indochina, April 29 (JP) —French commandos in pre-dawn raids today struck Vietminh po sitions pressuring Dien Bien Phu's shrunken defenses. The raiders smashed a string of rebel fortifications and killed at least 70 Vietminh before they were driven back into the bastion. The French concentrated their assault on the weakened north west corner where .the Red-led rebels have been massing for an all out thrust toward the heart of the fortress barely 600 yards away. Plunging into the network of Vietminh trenches and fox holes, the commandos routed the rebels at bayonet point. Other raids were launched to the east and southeast where rebel pressure has been strong. While the Union commandos were in action, Vietminh mole men continued to bore relentlessly toward the bastion's last ditch defenses. now about one mile in diameter. For a part of the day French planes swooped low to pound rebel troop concentrations,' am munition dumps and s upply routes leading from Red China. But later, drenching monsoon raihs lashed the fortress, making ground fighting difficult an d bringing French air strikes to a virtual standstill.

G. David Schine, the mil lionaire draftee -in the McCarthy- Pentagon case, took the witness stand and the TV spotlight today. And, under a protective barrage of shouted objections by his for mer boss. Sen. Joseph R. McCar they (R.-Wis.). Schine testified: 1. -McCarthey is right Schine posed for a photograph with Sec retary of the Army Robert T. Ste ven's last Nov. 17 at the specific request of Stevens - . The Army sec retary says he doesn't remember it that way at all. 2. McCarthy's Pentagon oppo nents are right on another point —a colonel standing beside Schine in the original picture was miss ing from the photo submitted by the McCarthy forces to Senate in vestigators. The Army side char ges the original Air Force photo was "doctored." Schine's appearance—under sub poena followed testimony by 40% off Don't delay - Stop today! You can get it at ony Begins SecretarY Stevens that he, Ste vens, might conceivably have sug gested a phone call in which a top aide sought to quash charges against some employes at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., last Noveinber— just before those employes were to be suspended on security grounds. The Army secretary, plainly wilting in his sixth day on the witness stand, acknowledged this possibility after Ray H. Jenkins, special counsel to the subconimit tee, dramatically produced ' a memo 'dictated by the Ft. Mon mouth commander, Maj. Gen. Kirke Lawton. Stevens, explaining his stand on the issue of alleged security risks, said he did not want to be a party to any unfair suspensions based on "meager or almost non existent information." He said he feared Gen. Lawton might be moving too fast "without suffi cient information."
