London, Apr. 28.

Communist China today accused Thailand of interfering in the Indo-China war which is sweeping even nearer to its borders,

The charges brought fears in some well-informed quarters in Lon- don that peace moves in Korea may presage heavier Communist blows in Southeast Asia including an attack on the Thai kingdom.

The New China News Agency said Siam, whose anti-Communism was shown by the fact that it sent troops to fight in Korea, had promised the United States it would "help the French colonialists carry out a war of aggression in Indo-China."

It said the government of Thailand "at the instigation of the United States government," had built or repaired strategic highways to Indo- China and Burma on its territory.

It added that the highway to Burma was used by the Chinese Nationalists and the Americans to supply Chinese anti-Communists operating on Burmese soil.
