Nearly Extinct Cranes Add
Three to Flock in Arctic

ways by jeep and boats equipped
with two-way radios.
The refuge overlooking the
Gulf of Mexico, is the winter
home Of the huge whooping
cranes with their brilliant white
bodies and black-etched wing
tips. 1t is the only known win
tering site used by the tempera-
mental whoopers who hatch their
young somewhere near the Arc
tic Circle in Canada, then fly
with them in snug family groups
to the Gulf Coast.
The flock of 81 that migrated
north last April included only
two young from the previous
summers hatch. The National
Audubon Society and the Fish
and Wildlife Service have put on
intensive publicity campaigns
in the whooper's flyway north
and south from Canada to Texas
to educate people who might be
inclined to shoot at them just
for the sake of shooting. Many
have been slain by careless or
malicious hunters.

AUSTWELL, Tex, Dec. 49,
Winging in this week on a north
wind from the Arctic. three
whooping cranes put the nearly
extinct birds slightly ahead in
their battle for survival against
men and wild animals.
Now "a of the stately white
birds are feeding in the swamps
of their ancestral home-three
more than left here last spring
on their annual migration to the
Arctic Circle.
Cranes Get Winter Guard.
Julian A. Howard, manager
of the Arkansas Pass wildlife ref
uge on Blackjack Peninsula, had
been watching for the last three
or four weeks, since they had
been reported seen in flight
from the far north:
Where they dallied on the way,
is anybody's guess.
Mr.. Howard and his crew of
half a dozen young wildlife sci
entists zealously guard the nearly
extinct whoopers every winter
at this South Texas refuge of

War in Indo-China
Rounds Out 7 Years
With No End in Sight
BY the Assoeloted Press

BY the Associoted Press
HANOI, Indo-C China. Dec. 19.-
The French unions struggle
against the Communicated Wet
Mini rebels in Indo-China
rounded out it's seventh year to-
day with still no end in sight.
But the French are hopeful an
other two years will bring vic
tory.
Throughout the war which
started December 19, 1916.
French union forces have kept
a strong grip on the Red River
delta in northern Indo-China as
the key bulwark against a pos
sible Communist sweep through
Southeast Asia.
But the French and their main
ally. the Indo-ChineSe Republic
of Wet Nam, have not yet scored
decisive victory. Neither, how
ever, has the Wet Mini, led by
Moscow trained Ho Chi Mini.
On this anniversary day, rebel
forces occupy most of Wet Nam,
one of the three French-associ-
ated Indo-Chinese states which
also include Laos and Cambodia.
French sources say Ho Chi
Minis Red Chinese trained and
equipped army is stronger than
ever.
Crack Division Is Threat.
At the moment one of his
crack divisions is threatening
to gain more territory by over
running the. pro-French Thai
peoples country in Northwest
ern- Indo-China.
French forces expect the Wet
Mimi to assault the fortress of
Dien Bien Phu near the from
tier of Northern Laos. 1t is the
last big barrier to the Wet Mini
in all of~the Thai country.
The French high command re-
ported today that 64 Wet Mimi
soldiers were killed and 103 cap
tured today in minor mopups
in the Red River delta.
The French are hoping that
with reinforcements from over
seas and the rapidly expanding
VietnameSe army they can drive
deep into the heart of rebel held
areas in the new year and de-
liver the finishing blows by the
end of 1855.
American aid, which has been
averaging a half billion dollars
in war materials annually, is be-
ing boosted by another $685. mil
lion. With that, the United
States will be paying about so
per cent of the wars cost.
$40 Billion Already Spent.
AS the conflict goes into it's
eighth year, backward glance
shows:
The French and Indo-C Chinese
governments have already spent
around $40 billion to fight it.
Two million Vietnamese have
been uprooted from their homes
and forced to flee into French
controlled zones.
The Wet Minh-by French
eStimates-have had 100000
killed, 100000 wounded and
238, 900 captured.
French union losses have been
estimated at $4,000 French and
Vietnamese killed, 10000 wound
ed and $4,000 missing.
Rumors persist there might
be Korean-type truce to end
the shooting here. Rebel leader
Ho Chi Mimi recently said he
is ready to talk peace if the
French ask it.
But the French are not ask
Ing for it and have said they
would do nothing without the
assent of the Vietnamese gov
ernment to which the rebel
leader has ignored.
Ho Chi Mimi also has said
that unless the French ask to
discuss peace, the war would
continue for "a long, long time"

a corresponding decrease in adult

shortage of space in the city's
schools generally and the race to
keep up with the population in
crease here.
Others Speak.
DR.. Harry. Baker, director of
specialized education in the Sec
ondary schools, and Mrs. Bessie
Cramer. who holds a like status
in the elementary schools, also
