Report Red China Mobilizing For Invasion SE Asia

By The Associated Press

Unconfirmed reports that Red China is mobilizing for an invasion of southeast Asia came anew today from Hong Kong and Formosa Monday. And from Moscow came a charge that the United States, France and Britain are conspiring for "new war ventures" in the same area.

The official Red newspaper Pravda repeated charges that the American Seventh Fleet has been carrying Chinese Nationalist soldiers to Thailand, Burma and Indochina near communist China's southern border.

The iron curtain drawn tightly around the Chinese mainland since the Reds took over effectively concealed preparations for a Red attack, if one is planned.

The Nationalist Chinese defense ministry in Formosa said Red troops are massed at South China bases awaiting the signal to move southward.

French authorities in Indochina Monday said the Reds apparently are getting ready for a big push on the isolated Boa Binh Basin, 40 miles southwest of Hanoi.
