Hanol, Jan. 30..

French troops on Tuesday mopped up a two mile area between the Haiphong-Hanoi rond and the canal, against extremely light opposition; French headquarters reported.

VIOLATIONS

OF BASIC- FREEDOM

New York, Jan. 29. The United Nations is keep ing secret hundreds of complaints dealing with violations of hurnun rights because the persons who wrote them might be subjected to reprisals if identified, it is learned.

An infantry column with armour drove seven miles north from a French-occupied hamlet neur Pont Dos Rapides and then turned castward along the canal, cleaning several villages.

The headquarters report sald that the only opposition was furnished by several snipers in the various. villages, and two road blocks. That column later effected a union with a group of paratroopers who pro- gressed across country from the Gla- lam airfield.

About half of the villager searched were deserted, except for a few pea- sants, principally women. They told Intrepreters that parties of arined Viet Minh followers and army men have been lying in the villages for several weeks.
