GEN. PAUL ELY
Paris, June 3.
The French Council of Ministers tonight decided to appoint General Paul Ely Commander- in-Chief in Indo-China replacing Ġeneral Henri Navarre.
General Ely, who is Chief of Staff, recently headed a mission of inquiry in Indo-China follow- ing the Dien Bien Phu disaster.
The appointment will not be officially an- nounced until tomorrow as the governments of the Indo-Chinese states have to be informed first.
General Ely was expected to be given full civil and military powers in Indo-China, which reclaiming The would mean the disappearance of the post of The inescapable French High Commissioner in Indo-China at

The action, which was taken ten daya ago, affects both European and Chinese staff, the spokesman said.

The Chairman, Mr R. Gordon said at the annual meeting in March that the Company had had “a decidedly thin lime during the past year" with the result that the nei profit was less than half that of 1952.
