Salgon-Rudlo was still functioning at.9 a.m. It did not mention hostill- ties, indicating that all was normal there.

The Japanese naval spokesman in Shanghai has no information. The French Consulate denies that hostill- lies have started and said that Indo China was quiet this morning.

SHANGHAI REPORTS

SHANGHAI, June, 26 (UP) There are reports here that Japanese forces have invaded Indo China.

Japanese reports from Canton- which is probably where the story will break--have so far not mention- ed any crossing of the French border by the Japanese.

It is considered worthy of note that the Japanese could conduct opera~ Lions Inside China which would cut off supplies through Indo China with- out actually invading the French ter- ritory.
