Texas, under Act of Congraaa of
U. S. Involvement In Indo-China
Reports from the Far East indicate that the
Chinese Communists are accelerating their
aid to the Vieiminh forces in inuo-cmna. i‘he
lavesw.imeUigence also reveals increasing Rus-
sian participation in this war, the latest
Russian gesture being a reported oiler to'give
the Vietmmh iorces some 100 transport
planes. »'
No doubt the Russian Government con-
tinues to^ell its Communist inhabitants that
the Russiaps are taking this action only to
counter similar action ,on the part ot the
United States. Nevertheless, the continued
Russian ’and Chinese support for the Viet-
minh ionqes in Indo-China brings up the ques-
tion ho^'the United States will increase its
support to the French and Vietnam fordes. •
Tne United States is countering the in-
creased Soviet and Chinese aid program by*
increased aid program of its own. President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a recent press con-
ference, noted that the United States had
technical missions in a number of countries,
and, when asked whether the technical aid to
Indo-China was being increased, he replied
that it might well be. He assured legislators
it few days later aid would include no troops.
Shortly afterwards, it was announced that
the United States was making available tp
French, and Vietnam forces a number of mili-
tary aircraft.
The question at present is whether the
United States will allow volunteers to go to
Indo-China to fight with French and Vietnam
forces. The outlook is apparently that volun-
teer technicians will be allowed to serve, al-
though ground forces are currently ruled out.
There is no escaping the fact that Commu-
nist forces are increasing their aid to the
revolutionaries in Indo-China and that the
French are hard-pressed. If the United States
is to save the situation in Indo-China, as it
was saved in South Korea, increased aid may
be needed.
This aid must be limited to technical assist-
ance, but the United States is a country
whose technical assistance may well prove
decisive. The American people will no doubt
support continued and enlarged technical
assistance and even the assistance of enlarged
technical missions in Indo-China, although at
present, the public will not support the use
of U. S. troops there.

Of recent years it is necessary
for mother to look to us children
for her support; and she favors a
return to the standard of living

Because she labored so mightily
when wo were young, to keep us
and using a 10-foot pole in trying
to get the facts across. Evidently
it is contrary to family tradition,
to look an unpleasant fact in the
face and deal with it simply and
concretely.
To judge by her children’s
abashed-feelings about her, your
mother apparently made a big pro-
duction, emotionally speaking, of
doing her parental duty ctowards
them—a duty she couldn’t in con-
science escape. It seems she saw
herself in fantasy as a heroine

n
dren’s dependency, was to play
certain fantasy roles about her-
self, in addition to doing the nec-
essary chores. She clung to a fan-
tasy of herself as the lady of the
manor, still her parents’ pam-
pered daughter; and superimposed
upon this was a newer image of
herself, gallantly at bay in deal-
ing with wolves of want—a hor-
rid situation for which she vari-
ously held fate, husband, children,
et al “to blame.”
Ba Realistic;
Live in Present
The confused purpose of this
mixed-up performance was to dis-
sociate herself (if possible; though
it wasn’t possible), from the ac-
tual reverses that she personally
was experiencing, socially and fi-
nancially. Her sentiments and ego-
defenses were infantile, -af txftirse;
but she was doing tftc best she
could, consideting the shape of
her psychological equipment at the
time. The result is that while she
brought the children through to
comparative, safety, she certainly
didn’t prepare them to live realis-
tically.
Your mother's past statue, of
privilege or hardship, is one thing
—water under the bridge, frankly.
The family’s present ability to
make ends meet and take care of
her, if need be, is. another story
entirely. It is today’s reality. And
thq civilized solution of the con-
flict between your limited re-
sources and her disproportionate
demands, is to simply spell out the
facts to her, and state your limit,
and stick to it.—M.R-
