WHK.T ootmrat Canada's Pearson Warns of Failure At Geneva Meeting GENEVA (AP) Canada's Lester B. Pearson warned today that a failure of the Geneva conference might make i necessary for nations which feel increasingly threatened to devise fresh ways and means to meet such threats. Pearson made Ms declaration fore the 19-nation meeting; on Korea. He did not elaborate-on this point, but it was viewed as a reference to U.S. efforts to create an Asian defense alliance along lines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The new troops included nearly 150 men who had volunteered to aid their battle-weary comrades. French pilots spotted hundreds of Russian-made Molotov trucks moving into the rebel encampments in the hills encircling Dien Bien Phu, bringing fresh troops and Chinese-supplied food and ammunition for the besieging legions. Heavy rainstorms late yesterday grounded the French warplanes, halting their desperate bombing and strafing attacks on the Viet- ninh concentrations and supply convoys. A Frencn spokesman earlier had credited the suspension in the Vietminh assault to the "extremely ieavy losses" he said the rebels had suffered. Though the French rave no estimate in figures, the ebel dead and wounded were be- ieved to run into the thousands.

McCarthy said he would accept the Dirksen proposal to end the hearings after Stevens' and McCarthy's testimony if it were clear that such action would not dismiss the charges he had made against H. Struve Hensel, assistant secretary of Defense, and these charges possibly could be considered later. "If the proceedings are to end." McCarthy said, "the Hensel matter will be a very important element in the case so far as motives are concerned." Hensel's attorney, Frederick P. Bryan, balked at McCarthy's suggestion. It is Hensel's position, Bryan stated, "that there is nothing to those charges," and that they are not collateral to the issues.

Withdrawal of the charges "without a statement from Sen. McCarthy that he is in error is not acceptable to him," Bryan said in behalf of Hensel. McCarthy retorted the charges were "not in error," and he would agree to withdrawal of the Hensel charges only if they are considered separately. Mundt said those portions of the charges against Hensel involving his "guilt or innocence" in connection with organization of a Navy supply firm in 1944 were 'not properly before the commit- There will be "no full scale nvestigation of the transactions in 1944," he stated.

The Eisenhower administration's Asia policy came in for criticism in the House yesterday, where Rep. Lanham (D-Ga) declared in a speech that the administration is set for "abject surrender" at Geneva. Lanham, a-member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the administration has given up the initiative in Asia and has "merely resigned itself" to losing Indochina.

Lanham forecast that the talks at Geneva Would produce partition of Indochina or a colition government there, "either of which -will mean ultimate triumph of communism." "The last 10 days." he told the House, "have certainly brought disillusionment and disgust to of us who expected bold and timely action to save Indochina." farmers to register so a vaccination schedule may be drawn up.

May Invite Others These four delegations together with representatives of the i Big Four and Red China will make up the conference, which will seek to end the bitter ungle fighting in Indochina. First, however, the group will decide whether other countries will be invited to take part. A Soviet source said Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov would propose that India.

Burma, Thailand and Indonesia be added. Observers said this might only be a gesture. The United States is anxious to keep the conference limited. The Soviet informant said Molotov was not prepared to insist on bringing in other countries if this jeopardized the parley. Apparently the Russians are quite content that they were able to get the Vietminh seated in the talks.

In Moscow, the Communist party organ Pravda hailed the agreement to invite the Vietminh as a "new defeat for American policy." The rapid progress made in setting up the Indochinese phase of the conference caught many delegates by surprise. They had expected much more East-West bargaining on the procedure and composition of the parley. In Paris, the French Cabinet voiced satisfaction today that agreement had been reached here to open the Indochina talks. Most observers had expected the question of Red China's status to delay or even deadlock the conference. It now looks as though the question will not be raised formally at all.

Both Molotov and Red Chinese Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En-lai have insisted in public statements that Chou has the same status here as the Big Four foreign ministers. But the Communists have avoided making this an open issue.
