COURIER NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 190 1 Big Three Faces Serious Defeat In Indochina Must Prevent Development of Major Disaster (Continued from Page 19 No anti-Communist nations having interests in the security of Southeast Asia. Both types of compacts would be designed to prevent open aggression agains a fixed line-in other words, they would be able to deal only with a provable attack by the Communists, a renewal of the war. But the real fear among informed officials here is that a limited success in Indochina, of which have Communist, been the subject of negotiation at Geneva, will have a magnetic effect on countries like Thailand, Burma and Indonesia which are militarily weak.

The only great power close to them is the Communist power of mainland It is an ideal setup, from the Kremlin's viewpoint, for squeeze pressure on the governments of those. countries applied partly through diplomatic channels from the outside and partly through Communist party pressures from the inside. The Western nations have no organized force, committed to their purposes, which corresponds to the centrally directed Communist party. They have no adequate counterforce where the party operates against local weakness and far from the main centers of antiCommunist power. Much of Southeast Asia is fertile ground for Communist anti-Western "Asia for Asians" propaganda, moreover, because of the hatreds generated under long years of colonial rule.

This is particularly true in Indochina where the American view, successive French governments have been too slow and too miserly in doling out measures of independence.

is on city property. He said that Mr. Simon had -previously asked for a $1.000 connection fee from Farr-Allen company. Mayor Jackson appointed the Building Committee to look into an amendment offered by Councilman Bill to. modify the ordinance passed last month concerning auto salvage and junk yards.

If amended, the ordinance would draw no clear line between salvage operations and junk yards and second hand dealers, it was later pointed out. Engineer Heard Irby Seay of the Irby Seay Engineering Memphis, explained his plan for a cheaper sewer systern to the City Councilmen after they had officially adjourned last night. A map of the city had been set up in the anteroom of the Mayor's office and Mr. Seay told the men that his plan would cost $140.000 less than the previous plans considered by the city. His plan would cost a total of $879,500, he stated.

The Council said it would consider the plan. In other action, the Council Denied special permit to open a florist shop at 128 Ruddle Road by Don Whitney; Accepted petition from Pride Addition residents to attempt to buy Block 42 (old Alexander Street) and open it as a street, the petition signers agreeing to pay for the lot: Accepted petition to condemn half burned house in 400 block East Ash owned by Virgil Foley and have it removed: Agreed to take action on petition to permanently establish alley between Chickasawba and Walnut which runs from Eleventh Street. Denied permission to H. A. Alley to move frame building closer to the downtown fire district because it is not of fireproof construction.

WEATHER (Continued from Page 1) a figure with which many disagreed. Various types of thermometers located in various spots in the city gave higher readings according to their quality, age and exposure to the sun. The lower official temperature was due to the controlled conditions under which Weather Bureau thermometers operate. They are mounted in louvered boxes called thermoscreens. These boxes, erected on legs and about six feet tall, permit air to circulate around the thermometer but protect it from direct rays of the sun.

Similarly, the registering part of the water company's thermograph is mounted in 8 small, louvered casing. Temperatures on other thermometers around the city yesterday afternoon ranged from to 126 degrees. The wilting 126-degree reading was found on a thermometer mounted on the west side of Kirby Bros. Drug Co. at Main and Broadway.

Mounted on metal backing, it received the full blast. of the sun's rays. Courier News staffers took look at the official Weather Bureau thermometer located in R. I. Blaylocks' back yard.

DULLES (Continued from Page 19 DULLES scheduled to return to Switzerland this afternoon. In the talks here, Dulles was reported pushing hard for immediate organization of a Asia defense alliance, contending as he has in the past that such a lineup against Communist expansion would strengthen the West's bargaining position at Geneva. Britain and France previously have feared formation of such an alliance would work against chances for Communist concessions at Geneva. Conference sources said the ministers last night also took up the question of restoring sovereignty to West Germany. Burial was in Violet Cemetery.

Survivors include his wife, a son, a daughier, Mrs. Gerald Burns of Joe Best, of New a Orleans, and Camden. Pallbearers Paul Conway, Joe Applebaum, Harry Levenstein, Bill Frye, Zeke Pollard and D. E. Young.
