Bids were opened last week, but
contract award has not yet been

set dates for discussion of "wages,

U. s. S. r. CUTS ARMS BUDGET

Foreign Minister Arseny Zverne recently submitted
the budget to the Supreme Soviet Russas top legis
ave body Zverne announced defense costs being
reduced by ten cent which follows the reduction of
defense expenditures in the United States by only few
months.
Defense expenditures for the coming year esti-
mated at 100000 100000 rubles This is equivalent
900. Compared to the u S. defense outlay,
the 900 outlay is considerable expenditure
In the first place. for that amount of money the Rus
slams will doubt receive much in the way of labor
and materials. Whether technical services received will
be valuable those in the United States is another
question: but expenditure of this size in Russia
pares favoraby with the expenditure of $3500O
100000 for u. S. defense.
The Soviet budget reflects a continued effort
to expand heavy industry in Russia and it is estimated
that about 52000,000,000 rubes will be spent in
the coming year on heavy industry expansion than was
spent last year.
U. S. experts believe the Soviet Union planning to
spend major part of "a billion ruble ALLEGATION for
nuclear weapons. This amount fifteen per cent of the
entire Soviet budget and is unexained in the breakdown
in budget expenditures givento the Supreme Soviet
In addition many U. S. experts Believe the Soviet budget
does not accurately reflect Soviet expenditure
for defense.
Cnsidering these factors the that the Soviet
ruble buys this than did last year. the outlay
for defense in Russia is certainly imposing one even
though it is reduced by ten per cent this year.
Plan your vacation now and be sure you take it this
summer.
The climate at Geneva will feature warmer air in the
next few weeks.

SAIGON GA gallant French
army officer sits in a rain-soaked
bunker on the plain of Diem Bien
Phu, seeking the key to victory
in the darkest hour of his career.
Brig. Gen. Count Christian Marie
Fernand de la Croix de Castries,
commander of the little pot-shaped
valley position, is surrounded by
tens of thousands of Communist
led Vietminh troops. They arc try
ing to strangle his isolated for
tress. The grip has been tightening
for days.
Against them stand about $4,000

Legion and Vietnamese troops.
crowded into a circle less than a
mile in diameter.
In the hands of the six-foot De
Castries, a champion horseman
who wears a red African cavalry
cap instead of a steel helmet, is
he-will leave the position alive.
'He was meant to be medieval
knight, a cavalier in mail and
armor," said one of his intimates
recently. Failing that, he did the
next best thing - he became a
cavalryman."
Jacqueline, his tall blonde Sec
ond wife, lives in Hanoi-1S7 miles
from the battle-and talks to him
by radio-telephone every day at
noon. 1t was she who told reporters
that her husband was threatening
to resign if he weren't promoted
Immediately from year-old colonel
cy in the midst of the battle.
The French government denied
he had made any such threat, and
attributed her statement to over
strain. Nevertheless, the promotion
came through within hours after
the denial, despite a French ira
dition against promotions during a
battle.
"You know" she says now, ''the
general has never doubted even
for moment the possibility of
holding Diem Bien Phu. If it falls
it will be because the defenders
have died to the last man, destroy
ing with them most of the Wet
mimi"
Diem Bien Phu was designed as
a trap to lure the Vietminh into
open battle. Now the French them
selves are trapped, defending a
position that experts say no longer
has any value - except as pow
erful symbol of the free worlds
stand against communism in Asia.
De Castries' only lifeline is
through the sky. Everything he
uses is parachuted from U. S.-sup-
piled Dakotas and Flying Boxcars.
The area where the parachutes fall
may be overrun by the Vietminh
whenever they want to take their
losses. Then the battle can end
only in a hand-to-hand struggle
unless help comes from outside.
The situation must remind De
Castries of his experience in the
battle of France. Tank and dive
bombers supported the 1000 Ger
mans who surrounded him and his
60 men in 1910. After three days
of fighting he tried a breakout,
was wounded and taken prisoner.
He made three unsuccessful at
temps to escape, succeeded on the
fourth try, and two years later was
fighting on the Garigliano in Italy.
De Castries was born in Paris
Aug. IL, 1902, to family of the
old French nobility--and to the
cavalry. One of his ancestors was
the Marquis Charles de Castries,
who fought under Louis XIV, be-
came minister of the navy. and
went into exile with Louis XVIII.

Gen. De Castries Seeks Way
Out OF Indochina Troubles

His son Armand served under La
fayette in the American Revolution
and died a lieutenant general.
Instead of going to St. Cyr, the
French West Point, young De
Castries chose the cavalry school
at Saumur. One day he saw a
beautiful horse galloping in the
pastures of a cousins estate. The
animal suddenly made a prodi.
giouS leap, clearing a hedge more
than six feet high. De Castries had
to have that horse. In 1888 he took
the unknown jumper - named Vol
Au Vent - over the barrier to a
world record jump of 2.3S meters
q feet 10 inches).
When he dismounted the crowd
hoisted him on its shoulders and
paraded him around the track of
the Grand Palais in Paris.
De Castries has carried over
three habits from his jumping
days. Once is to brandish a riding
crop wherever he goes. The Sec
ond is to bounce back fast from
a fall, or any other blow, no matter
how badly he is hurt. The third is
to chew gum. He chews while rid
ing and he chews when the going
in battle is toughest.
In his younger days, he valiantly
upheld the cavalry tradition of
charm. Well built, handsome in a
rugged way, his soft brown eyes
peering from under big black eye
brows, he was surrounded by the
Paris beauties of his time.
His gentle manners, his impec-
cable dress, his love of expensive
cars and his position in the best
French society made him particu-
larly sought after. He married
first outside the circle and the
marriage ended in divorce. His
second wife comes from a noble
family.
Not content with horses as a
means of transport, he became in
terested in aviation and won his
pilots wings in 1881.
In World War II, when his di-
vision was approaching Siena, his
superior gave him orders to camp
10 miles outside the hilltop city.
Later the commanding general ap-
peared on the scene, looking for
him. He was nowhere to be found.
The general went on his way until
he reached the city. There he
found De Castries' troops.
Coming back down the hill, the
general met De Castries' COM
handing officer.
"Where's De Castries?" asked
the general.
Why, he's here, mon general, !"
replied the bewildered colonel.
That's what you Think" the
general retorted.
De Castries' tactics were respon-
sible for taking Karlsruhe and
Freudenstadt, the key to the Black
Forest. He captured the German
crown prince.
He went to Indochina in 1915 and
stayed for 2l5 years to command
the Spahis, an African light caval-
~ unit whose cap he still likes to
wear. It was with the Spabis that
he was wounded for the third time
and received his 18th citation for
valor. He returned to Indochina
for a second tour of duty after a
year in France.
In December of last year, after
several hard campaigns, he was
sent to Diem Bien Phu. He asked
for a unique Christmas gift - at
least one tank. He got two. para
chuted in sections.
Once he told superior he need
