A WASHINGTON Feb 2 (IP)
Preeldent Truman made plain to-
' day that U S stands by its de-
mand for tight international con-
trot impactions before ontlawing
' atomic weapons including the
projected new hydrogen bomb
Mr Truman also told a news
conference he sees no reason for
formal notification to the United
Nations on his order for ' th'e
atomic energy commission to con
tinue its work on atomic weapons
Including the hydrogen bomb
Sen Vandenberg (R-iMich) the
Republican foreign policy leader
has suggested that the president
IQ the world knnw this country
is ready to stop work on the H-
bomb it all such weapons can be
outlawed definitely Vandenberg
said the president could act
through the United Nations
A reporter asked Mr Truman
about that suggestion
Mr Truman said he does not
believe a separate notification
' '' to' the UN is -necessary
Also be said he does not pro-
pose to use the hydrogen bomb
' order as a basis for a new move
on the International control front
The president said this govern-
' ment has repeatedly and contln

French Recognize
Free Indo-China
Ily TileAssocialezi Press
The French upper house of
yparlianient today ratified an ac-
cord giving the Duo Dal regime
of Indochina partial self-government
This paved the way for

States Britain and other western
powers -
East and west were thus lining
up on opposite sides on the explo-
sive case of Indochina imtential
COMMUntay doorway to southeast
Asia
Western recognition of Bat Dui
would counter Russia's action in
recognizing the regime of the
rebel leader Ho Clii-Minh
