The rebels were in a newly
menacing position after week.
end fighting widened their break
in the northwestern rim of the
fortress defense system. They
captured a second outpost yes
terday and filtered back last
night into trenches on the main
Diem Bien Phu airstrip.
Wet Mimi pressure also was
reported increasing against the
southernmoSt strongpoint of the
French-held plain.
Bayonet-wielding French in
fantrymen had driven the Wet
Mini from air field entrench-
mentS for few hours yesterday.
But the latest infiltration re-
established their foothold in the
shadow of the French headquar-
ters bunkers, just 800 yards
away.
Heavy Fighting RACES.
A terse French army COM
munique said heavy fighting in
the sector still ragged today.
French tanks and artillery
blasted at the Wet Mimi troops
taking cover in trenches run

the airstrip. French Union
troops charged them in hand-to-
hand encounters.

thus far there had been "losses
on both sides"
An army spokesman said the

bitterly resisting attempts to
dislodge them.
The spokesman added that
the French were continuing to
bolster their defense barricades
in the northwestern corner of
the fortress and also those in
the northeastern sector. French
Union patrols moving outside
their barbed-wire harricades on
the eastern fringes of the
fortress reported light clashes
with the Wet Mini.
They said they found 80 Wet
Mimi apparently killed by
French air attacks or artillery
bombardmentS.
American civilian pilots oper-
ating flying boxcars dropped
tons more ammunition and war
materiel into the fortress.
French Leave Outpost.
The French pulled out of the
shattered northwestern outpost
yesterday after they counter
attacked and smashed back a
Wet Mini attempt to wipe out
the posts garrison. A French
army spokesman said the loss of
the position was not regarded as
serious.
The Wet Mimi already hold a
key height in this same sector
and have launched several in.
fantry attacks from it. The
French think much of the force
OF the next rebel mass assault
they expect at any time from
that sector.
