The French attacks on rebel Viet Minh positions west and northeast of Hanoi coincided with Russia's rejection in Geneva of the latest peace proposals offered by high French and British officials.

WASHINGTON, July 16 (UP) Sen. Ralph E. Flanders today gave up his fight to strip Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of his committee chairmanship and called instead for the senate to censure McCarthy for "unbecoming" conduct.

The 73-year-old Vermont Republican switched to the milder approach after running into solid opposition from the senate GOP leadership on his original resolution. HE ANNOUNCED the change only a few hours after senate GOP leader William M. Know-land (Calif.) had forced McCarthy to cancel hearings in Boston tomorrow on alleged defense plant Communists. Knowland told the senate that McCarthy has agreed to hold no hearings outside Washington for the rest of this session of congress. A McCarthy aide said some of the Boston witnesses senate procedure for disciplining a member who has "violated basic codes of ethics." HE SAID THE new resolution will read: "Resolved that the conduct of the senator from Wisconsin, Mr.

McCarthy, as chairman of the senate permanent subcommittee on investigations, is unbecoming a member of the United States senate, is contrary to senate traditions, and tends to bring the senate into disrepute, committee chairman by seniority. HE SAID HE intends to offer the senate a chance to "repudiate the conduct of Mr. McCarthy, who has brought dishonor and disrepute upon the senate." He said in a statement that "several very distinguished members of the senate have pointed out to me that while they abhor the conduct of McCarthy, they felt that my resolution affected one of the basic and such conduct is hereby con- traditions of the senate thedemned." Oklahoma with 30 bore the brunt of the devastating hot spell. Except for fringes of the deep south and southern California, the heat was routed by a massive cool front from Canada. Cleveland, which had a record high of 99 degrees Wednesday, had a record low of 50 early today.

Warm weather still clung to parts of Oklahoma, with a reading of 106 degrees at Ponca city and 103 at Tulsa, and fringe areas of surrounding states. Ft. Smith, had 103. BUT ST. LOUIS, where temperatures as high as 115 degrees killed 45 persons, relaxed in a comfortable 86 today.

In the plains states, mean The International Scene Still to be settled is the tnomy question of dividend tax relief for corporation stockholders.

Married couples with a combined income of less than $4,500 a year also would be entitled to the $600 deduction, if they spent the money for child care.

Married couples with a combined income between $4,500 and $5,100 would be allowed part of the deduction. Those earning more than $5,100 would be allowed no deduction for child tare.

THE POSSIBILITY arose with announcement in London that British Overseas Airways Corp. is seeking to buy American airliners to replace its grounded fleet of Comet jets.

The UAL spokesman here said sale of six UAL Stratocruisers was being considered. All Comets were grounded last April after they were involved in three crashes in which 99 persons died in less than a year. BRITISH SCIENTISTS this week blamed the mysterious crashes on "metal fatigue." They believed the metal selections of the cabins collapsed under the strain of keeping pressure relatively normal during the 500-mile-an-hour flights through the stratosphere.

Wilmer said workers at his plant were preparing an "M-A firecracker" for the army's training program. He said it was made of black powder and sulphur.

The explosion tore through five flimsy frame buildings and leveled a number of shanty-like structures in the area. The factory, which makes army detonators as well as fireworks, employs 200 to 300 persons.
