Hardy Night Flyers Brave Red Fire to Keep French Fort Alive

below. The signal lights of the
fortress seemed to flicker appeals
from brave men to whose cour-
age the whole free world recently
paid tribute. No matter what
arguments may be over the con-
duct of this war those men are
writing history in a great classic
battle.
Below us the central command
post of the fortress looked
strangely like q mighty battle
ship adrift in the middle Of a
plain which once harbored the
straw-thatched huts Of the Diem
Bien Phu village. It was to res
cue people like those villagers
pro-French Thai tribes-that the
French first made their stand in
an area which now looks like
oval volcanic craters gouged out
by the Wet Mini shells.
Communicates report "a lull"
in the fighting but there is no
bell calling off the haraSsing
mortar and artillery fire from the
Communist side. Nor is there any
lull for the several hundred Of
wounded trapped in the under
ground bunkers Of the fortress.

Heavy Rains Flood
Rio Grande Valley
BY the Associated Press

DONNA, Tex. April TO-
Many Rio Grande Valley towns
and cities raked up mud today
caused by floods from yesterdays
rains, first moisture of conse-
quence for the area since last
August.
= High winds, some of hurri-
cane force, accompanied the
rains which ranged up to IL
inches here and at nearby Ala
mo. Tex.
But while this region, lush
with vegetables and citrus when
the river furnishes irrigation, re-
celved torrential rains, West
Texas cotton lands and cattle
ranges remained at drought
stage despite some scattered
rains.
Rain fell in diminishing
amounts last night over the val
ley, but the heaviest fall came
before dawn yesterday.
Between Is and 40 homes
were damaged by high winds
here and one man was killed at
Mission when he came in con-
tact with a wet electrical con-
nection under a house trailer
He was Perry Francis, 70, who
was killed while trying to rescue
a small dog.

Drought, Dust, Controls
Cut Winter Wheat Crop

A combination of drought,
dust storms and production con-
trolls apparently has cut this
years winter wheat crop to
about 200 million bushels below
that of a year ago.
The Agriculture Department
estimated yesterday that this
years winter wheat crop would
total GIT, 981 900 bushels as COM
pared with a crop of 877.511.00
bushels last year. This years
crop also appears to be well be-
low the 10-year average of $780,
977,00O bushels.
The department said that
largely due to production curbs.
growers this year planted about
10 per cent less acreage to win
ter wheat than last year. Pro-
duction controls were invoked
because of a record surplus from
past bumper crops.

the signal lights of Diem Bien
Phu emerge suddenly in a sea
of blackness broken only by &C.
caSional flashes of the Commu-
nist-led Wet Mini anti-aircraft
fire.
The Communists fired 12.7-
millimeter shells at the low
flying French supply planes but
they apparently were using little
37-millimeteng fire which would
have brougH our command post
plane within range. Obviously
the Wet Mini were more con-
cerned with low-f1ying planes
and their precious GARAGES.
Our plane-an old Warhorse
C-47-took OF two hours before
midnight yesterday carrying a
huge load Of parachute flare
bombs supplied by. the United
States military aid program.
These were to be dropped if the
fortress requested by radio. The
flares were not requested, indi-
eating the Wet Mimi were not
attacking at the moment.

overseas possessions into one
French-dominated body.
Wet Mans present rulers are
said to be willing to join the
union. For the sake of opinion
at home. however, they want at
least "a hours of complete free
dom before making the decision.
Then they want to become equal
partners in the association, as
BELTS an independent state.
The Wet Namese officials argue
they need wide freedom to win
popular support away from the
Communicated Wet Mini, the
common enemy of both the Sal
gon government and France.
These rebels, under Ho Chi Mimi,
always have ridiculed the Bao
Dali government as a puppet
regime.
The French want a faster
buildup in the young Wet Nam
csc army. the establishment of a
wider popular base for the pres
eht government, moral and po-
litical reforms and the calling
of provisional national as

Dulles Seen Facing Difficulty
In Getting Unity Among Allies

power contribution, leaving the
ground fighting to be done by
others.
And what, they ask, is the
rush?
Mr.. Dulles gives the impress
sion of moving with desperate
haste to prevent a calamity in
Indo-C China. But no military
calamity is seen imminent
from here. Present fighting, Sc
we're as it is, will be over in a
week or two when the monsoon
season starts. There seems lit
tie possibility that the war will
be lost between now and then,
whatever the Chinese do.
It by the time the next fighting
season rolls around the situation
calls for strenuous words or
strenuous actions, the British and
French would be willing to lis
ten to proposals from the State
Department. But at the moment
they are criticized as ill-timed.
Suspicion is strong that Mr..
Dulles is less worried about the
Chinese Reds than about the
French. There is a feeling that
his real purpose is to get the
allied governments to sign away
their freedom to negotiate for
peace in Indo- China at Geneva.
This neither the British nor
the French will be willing to do.
Officially, at least, the French
government is committed at
Geneva to exploring every ave-
nue. to an honorable settlement
with the Communists. They are
not so completely convinced of
the impossibility of arrangement
as to close the door deliberately
ahead of time. It remains diff
cult to see what arguments Mr..
Dulles may bring with him to
change this picture. Certainly,
the threat of Senate Majority
Leader Knowland to hold up
NATO money sounds like a pre-
posterous remedy since the
United States itself is ringing
all the alarm bells. 1t is positive
that there is an urgent need to
get together on allied strategy
before the Geneva conference.
But if Mr.. Dulles plans to get
tough now. the result of his trip
will be to advertise all the more
widely the present disagree
mentS between the allies.

WITH THE FRENCH AIR
FORCE OVER DIEM BIEN PHU,
April 10.-From a blacked-out
transport plane 10000 feet over
Diem Bien Phu, I got a glimpse
early today of the grim battle
now symbolizing the struggle
between the free world and
communism.
was one of three American
correspondents who were the
first newsmen to witness the
French attempt to supply enough
help to assure survival of the
besieged northwest Indo-China
fortress.

MADRID, Spain, April 10. -
Spain today decided to close her
consulate in Gibraltar.
A cabinet spokesman said per
haps this measure was taken as
a result of the visit of the Queen

courtesy because the consul of

tend the reception and the Span
ish flag could not be flown over
the consulate"
). Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled
to visit Gibraltar en- route home

The mission thus was confined
to directing the parachute OPP
Grafton. This required the plane
to be totally BACKED out and to
circle over Diem Bien Phu for
more than three hours.
The men aboard the plane in
dicated q healthy respect for the
craftsmanship of the Wet Mimi
gunners.
There was a quiet determine
ton and confidence about these
men. They are the same ones
who previously had witnessed the
drops of reinforcements into
Diem Bien Phu when the seige
began. Those tough reinforce
ments-parachutists in their red
belts and uniforms splotched
varicolored with camouflage-re-
quire a rare type of courage to
drop through the Wet Mini fire
into the isolated bastion from
which they well know they may
never return. Such men have
a deep respect for their brothers
in arms.
All the thoughts in our COM
mand plane were with these men

PARIS. April 10.-Secretary
Of State Dulles is in for tough
shedding if he hopes to ram
through pre-Geneva warning
to Chinese Reds in the course
of his flying visit to Paris and
London. Whatever the mood
may be in Washington, reaction
here is that the Secretary is
acting with unseemly haste.
Neither the French nor the Brit
ish appear anywhere near ready
to toe the line on a matter of
such Importance without look
ing very carefully at the fine
print.
To begin with, neither of our
allies seem quite clear what Mr..
Dulles has in mind and to the
extent that they do understand
implications of the Secretary's
united action proposals, they
don't like the sound of them.
Particularly are they wary of
united action in which the United
States would take over direction
of the war in Indo- China on the
strength of her naval and air.
