Dentists in Washington

But If you are interested in
your child'S dental health,
dentists say, it's worth the

1867, has produced proof con-

American Dental Association
to recommend that soft drinks
and sweets be banned in
schools. Instead of candy or
soft drinks for between-meal
snacks, dentists advise sub
shutting fresh fruits, popcorn
or nuts.
Their second rule is: "A

In advice to parents, the

the damage is done, say, too:
Cut down on sweets.
The professional accent this
week is on preventing the
damage. Dentists, dedicating
tomorrow to children, are tell

Fears on Conference
Proved Unfounded

The Geneva conference, now
nine days old, has produced
no surprises. The expressed
fears Of some have proved un-
founded.
It has not been a five
power" conference as the So
voet Union tried to make it.
It has not involved estab-
fishing express or implied
diplomatic recognition by the
United States of the Chinese
Communist aggressors.
The Korean phase of the
conference has been organized.
Here the Communists came
up with a scheme for Korean
unification which was a Chi
nese copy of the Soviet scheme
for the unif1cation of Ger
many. Under their proposal
no election measures could be
taken without Communist

OF course. our principal allies
were advised in advance. This
proposal of the Secretary of
State was not a new one; it
was merely reaffirmation of
the principles that have con-
sistently guided our postwar
foreign policy and a reminder
to interested Asian friends
that the United States was
prepared to join with others
in the application of these
principles to the threatened
area. Most of the free nations
of the area and others directly
concerned have shown affir-

tionS are actively proceeding.
Obviously, it was never ex-
pected that this collective Sc
curity arrangement would
spring into existance over
night. There are too many
important problems to be re-
solved. But there is a general
sense Of urgency. The fact that
such an organization is in pro-
cess of formation could have
an important bearing upon
what happens at Geneva dur
ing the Indo- China phase of

LanieI Government
May Hinge on Fate
OF Diem Bien Phu
By the Assoeicted Press

PARIS, May SUPPLEMENTARY
observers expect Premier Joseph
Laniel'S government to win a
Nationa Assembly vote of con-
f1dence tomorrow unless the be-
Sieged Indo-China fortress of
Dien Bien Phu falls to the Wet
Mini rebels in the meantime.
Mr.. Laniel told the Assembly
last night it would have to look
for a new government or post
pone demands for a debate on
Indo-China beginning May IA.
When deputies, including some
of his own supporters, persisted
in their call for the debate, the
Premier made the issue one of
confidence in the cabinet.
This would require the gov
ernment's resignation if the AS
sembly does not uphold it's de-
mand for postponement of the
discussion.
Test Due Tomorrow.
Because the French constitu-
ton requires a full day to elapse
before such vote, the test will
come tomorrow afternoon. n Y
Mr.. Laniel's chances of sur
vival looked good today. Few
of the deputies want to risk a
government crisis at a time
when the. fate of Dien Bien Phu
hangs in the balance and when
the Geneva talks on peace in
Indo-China are about to start.
But If Dien Bien Phu should
fall to the Communicated rebels
before, the vote. most observers
felt sure the cabinet would col
lapse too. That would pull the
rug out from under Frances
delegation at Geneva.
Hunt for Scapegoat.
The assembly came back
yesterday from it's Easter vaca-
ton anxious to show its indigna-
ton at the deterioration of the
military situation in Indo-
China. Many deputies wanted
to find a scapegoat in the
cabinet.
Another section wanted to
put more pressure on the gov
ernment to hurry the negotia-
tionS at Geneva and end the
do-China fighting at almost
any cost.

With the return of the Sec

Of conferences on foreigns af-

tive Department and between
the Secretary of State and
bipartisan groups of the Con-
gress. Because of these forth
coming conferences and the
probability that the Secretary
of State will himself have
something to say and because.
also, Of the delicate nature of
the issues now pending before
the Geneva conference, shall
limit my comments on the
Indo- China situation to a brief
written statement.
The United States foreign
policy has consistently sup
ported the principles on which
was founded the United States.
A basic expression of this
policy was the Vaudenberg
Resolution of 1948. The United
States believes in assuring the
peace and integrity of nations
through collective action and,
in pursuance of United States
principles, has entered into
regional security agreements
with other nations.
Examples are the Inter-
Am ,rican Agreement, the :
NA1O Agreement and a whole
series of pacts in the Pacific.
These arrangements are in
variably to assure the peaceful
security Of the contracting ma
tions and to prevent likelihood
of attack; they are not ar
rangements designed primar-
lily for waging war.

0y the Assoeiossd Press

HANOI, Indo- China, May s.
French and Wet Mini artillery
fought more laundering duels
today as the weary French
Union forces braced for another
Communicated assault on Dien
Bien Phu's diminishing defenses.
(The Peiping radio, heard in
London. declare dtoday that
Wet Mini troops have smashed
to within 400 meters (437
yards) of the command post
of Dien Bien Phu. The French
estimate of the closest ap-
proach is 900 yards.
(The rebels also claimed
10000 Wet Namese troops
fighting alongside the French
in Indo-China had surren-
dered. Peiping statements
contended the defections were
due to the Wet Minis land
reform policy and battle vic
tories of Ho Chi Minh.)
The French high command
said relative calm" prevailed
b. last night at the Northwest Indo-
China fortress, following yester-
days savage struggle which re-
suited in the fall of another
French strong point and brought
the rebels still closer to the bas-
tons vital core.
COunterattack Fails.
The French tried desperately
to retake the position west of
the garrison, but their COM
mander, Brig. Gen. Christian de
Castries, finally called of the
counterassault when it became
evident he could not push back
the attackers outnumbering his
men 10 to l.
Since Saturday, the Wet Mimi
have taken four strong points in
the Shriveling defenseS and part
of fifth. In human waves they
surged against the barbed wire
barricadeS in a furious attempt
to break through to the bastioE's
heart.
Rebel volunteers of death
blasted the barricades with nj
troglycerin, then hurled them
selves on the French guns with
shouts Of Long live Ho Chi
Mini" and Death to the
French"
y The French. supported by
blazing tank guns, counter
charged with bayonets, but were
too far outnumbered.
Dien Bien Phu is now split into
two SectionS-the main center
commanded directly by Gen de
Castries and the southern out
post Isabelle" whose artillery
has been a major protection for
the central bastion.
Fire Power Unimpaired.
The rebels succeeded in seizing
several emplacementS fringing
Isabelle in their weekend attack
but have not been able to reduce
its damaging fire power.
Latest reports from the main
baStion said the garrison's mo-
rale still is high despite the in
cessant pounding they have been
taking. The French news agency
said the legion of honor has been
awarded to the only woman at
Diep Bien Phu-Genevieve de
Galard. The nurse got the news
in a telephone call from Gen.
Rene Cogny, chief of union land
forces in North Indo- China.
Miss de Galard was stranded
in the fortress when Wet Mini
artillery destroyed the hospital
plane that had brought her in.
Gen de Castries conferred the
decoration on her in a ceremony
In his command dugout, but the
presentation was only symbolic.
No legion cross could be found
in the fortress.

Files Bill To Aid
Independent Voter

In an eort to strengthen
the two-party system in Mas
SachuSetts, Secretary of State
Edward j. Cronin has filed a bill
to enable so-called "independ-
ent" voters to enroll in either
party at any time.
Cronin's bill would eliminate
the present 31-day ban which
prevent an unenrolled voter
from joining either party dur
ing that interval prior to a
primary.
The PROPOSED legislation,
however, would bar enrolled
Democrats and Republicans
from changing their party
