FOR YOUR NAP, p TIME f 30,000 Trained Chinese By MAX CLOS Saigon, French Indo-China (AP) -- Interned in French Indo-China are 30,000 Chinese who are spoiling for a fight with the Chinese Com- munists. But they face a dreary, hopeless futur . ' It appears nothing less than the outbreak of a third 'vorld war would allow them out of their "prison". Their situation is much similar to that of troops of Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek on Formosa. ¢ These 30,000 soldiers fled into Indo-China in 1949 from the Chin- ese Reds. Two-thirds of them are now in- terned o° the small island of Phu Anxious to Fight Reds Quoc, off the coast of the kingdom of Cambodia. One of their chiefs is 50 year: old army corps General Hoang Chie, who reportedly was so good he incurred Chiang's jealousy. Gen. Chie 'has whipped the 30,- 000 prisoners into excellent phys- ical condition and reduced their generals from 50 to five, but the troops are without arms and are furious with the French for not letting them fight the Chinese Com- munists. JUST WAN< REVENGE Gen. Chie told me: "Now I have a trained army which asks only to get revenge on the R.ds. And we are here, useless, treated as prisoners. The French refuse to give us arms on the excuse that the Communists would retaliate by attacking Indo- China." "And that's ridiculous. Every- body knows that if Peiping wants to attack Indo-China it won't need an excuse." The French are sympathetic to the internees, but say they can't budge from their position. "We understand very well the desire of the Chinese to fight," said ¢ spokesman for the French high command. 'But what can we do? We're not going tn take the risk of an in- tervention in Indo-China by the Communists just to make them happy. The internees have nothing to los: while with us it is exactly the contrary." The island of Phu Quoc is 30 miles long and 12 miles wide. The Chinese are allowed to run their camp in almost complete independ- ence. STRICT DISCIPLINE Gen. Ho Chou Pen, who com- mands the camp, has turned it into 7 p a strict military barracks, where 3 the grounds are spick and span, and salutis is figorously observed. The men get threg hours of phys- = ical culture daily, and realistic combat' training -- with wooden guns. The men practice attacks on fortified positions with authentic battle cries, but their grenades are | of wood, and so are their machine » guns. Most of the men are between 25 and 30, well fed, and clothed in uniforms sent last year Iroin Formosa. The men are constantly drilled | in anti-communism ideas, and the camp abounds in anti-Red banners. The plain fact is these men are so fed up with internment that they actively hope for a world war.
