Florid Dama French Forces Abandon Citadel Of Dongdang SAIGON, French Indo-China, Oct. 18 (UP) The French an nounced today that they had abandoned the rockwalled Cita del of Dongdang, throwing open vital road and rail lines into Red China to Communist Indo-Chinese Forces. French Legionnaires and Col onial Troops have beerr pulled back once more to Langson, now emptied of civilians, the last big fortress on the Chinese bor der and the gateway to the rice rich Red River delta of Tonkin Province. Langson is 10 miles south of Dongdang and -only 80 air miles northeast - of Hanoi, principal city of the north. Dongdang, "the back door to China," guarded the northern approaches - to Langson and the French decision to give it up, apparently without firing a shot, bodes ill for Langson, French Bastion for more than half a century. The loss of Dongdang is per haps the most serious in the Com munist campaign, one month old today. Communists now control two highways and one railway, in the process of construction, in to China's Kwangsi Province. Supplies can be shuttled over the border.

Negro educators of 17 Negro land-grant colleges in the south ern States, were told today that they must not let the states set up "fake" .colleges . in the guise of equality of education by Dr. D. O. W. Holmes, president emeritus of Morgan College for Negroes in Baltimore. The group was told by Dr." Will Alexander of Chapel Hill that the idea of race segregation in Amer ica "is crumbling very fast." Alexander said that in view of recent Supreme! Court decisions, Negroes .will find increasing op portunity for graduate training on a non-segregated basis, even in southern universities. Holmes stated that he hoped that the states would do as Dele ware has done and open the state universities to Negroes. He said that the pattern for the next 20 years would probably be integra tion of education in the graduate level but continued segregation in the undergraduate field. By the end of the century, however, he said, integration may have ad vanced so far that' the Negro col leges will disappear. Holmes said that since the Su preme Court decisions the states have been more willing to give the Negro colleges money. He pointed out that it would cost Maryland $4,000,000 to build an agriculture school for Negroes equal to that already operated for white students.
