SPOKESMAN'S CLAIM
Geneva, May 18.
A French spokesman said today the Vietminh wanted to use route 11 to transport about four divisions, artillery and other armour from Dien Bien Phu to the Red River delta in north Vietnam. He was answering charges by a Vietminh spokesman at an earlier press conference today that the French authorities in Indo-China
were
"torpedoing the agreement on the evacuation of
the French Union wounded from the fortress.
Asked if the French High Command had concrete proof that the Vietminh forces had actually transported war material on
route 41 during the evacuation "neutralisation" period, the spokesman said: "No But according to all indications
