Paris, October 19.

The Premier, Reno Ploven's Government came un- der heavy political fire today for its military defeats in Indo-China.

A Communist deputy, Pierre Juge, opened the debate in the National Assembly by demand- ing an immediate end to the war.

Sir Gladwyn seems pleased with recent developments, and can be very pleased by his own success. But I hope he will be somewhat sceptical of the praise of Walter Winchell, who des cribes him as "Britain's best ad- vertisement," Winchell's tirades against Bevin have been vicious and ruthless. He said of Bevin's last operation that it was failure beenuse the Foreign Se- cretary had recovered. We have plently of loyal friends in the American Press without Win- chell.
