Rebel Troops in Delta
veer North, May Try
To EncircIe French
by the Assoeiofed Press

HANOI, Indo- China. May 26.
Wet Mini troops moving east
from captured Dien Bien Phu
suddenly veered north today in
an apparent attempt to en-
circle French defenSeS in the
vital Red River Delta.
The shift Of Rebel Gen. Vo
Nguyen Giap's Communicated
legions was believed designed to
form a giant pincers squeezing
the delta's northern perimeter.
while other Wet Mimi troops
threaten it from the west.
The French sent out United
States-supplied B-26 bombers
and corsairs to pound the ad-
vancing columns. The air strike
was concentrated on troops
punched near Mia Phu, about
80 miles southwest Of Hanoi.
In the delta itself only light
action was reported. Twelve
rebels were killed as French
warplanes pounded Wet Mini
forces harassing outposts south
east of Hanoi.
Meanwhile, the airlift OF
French wounded from Dien Bien
Phu continued. The French
command said 148 were flown
out last night, bringing the total
evacuated to ITO. The French
hope to wind up the shuttle to-
day. The rebels have given
permission to evacuate total OF
858:
The French command in Sal
gon said it will build up 13 new
military units from the reserves
of Wet Nam battalions lost at
Dien Bien Phu. A spokesman
said that with reinforcements
expected from France the new
units will total some 10000. This
is about the number lost at Dien
Bien Phu.
The spokesman said the new
units would be sent in to bolster
the imperiled delta.

u. S. Seeking to Arouse Lotins
On Peril of Strong Guatemala

America and alarm much Of
Latin America. where a secret
arms cache sometimes decides
who Is to be president.
Action Discussed.
Nicaragua and some other
Latin American states are talk
ing about invoking Inter-Amer-
ican agreements to act against
any Communist danger to this
hemisphere.
Secretary Of State Dulles told
a news conference yesterday that
evidence continues to be gath
cred. He left no doubt that he
hoped all the facts. when they
are compiled, viii convince the
American states to act under
agreements pledging opposition
to any Communist danger to this
hemisphere.
MIR. Dulles said the shipment
of Communist arms to Guate-
mala could be aimed at building
up a Red strongpoint near
Americas vital Panama Canal.
Secretary Dulles thus indi-
Gated that the United States is
playing up the arms shipment
not only because it is a suitable
issue to dramatic the Commu-
pist problem, but also because
the United States Is sincerely
worried.
He said Guatemala has a mill
tary establishment three to four
times the size Of any Of its
neighbors. Other sources said
the Guatemalan army probably
numbers 5000 to 5000 men.
There is also a S.000-man police
force. #f
Comment From Guatemala.
In Guatemala Foreign Min
lister Guillermo Toriello said
Secretary Dulles remarks were
"exaggerations on fantastic
things"
The minister smiled but did
not comment on Mr.. Dulles
statement that Guatemala has
become the major military
power in Central America since
receiving arms from behind the
Iron Curtain.
The foreign minister said the
purchase Of arms was q do
mestic affair which could not
properly be considered by the
Organization Of American
States.
Suspicious Amount.
United States officials say that
Guatemala's total military force
regarded here as large for a
country the size of Guatemala
does not need 1900 tons Of addi-
tional weapons.
Guatemala could use the
weapons to arm workers
militia" as q. possible balance
against the army. which may be
basically anti- Communist.
Arms also could be slipped
into other countries. Already,
Guatemala is accused of stirring
up trouble In Honduran banana
plantations near the Guatemalan
border and o banana-growing
belt extends along the Pacific
coast from Guatemala through
Ell Salvador, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica-to Panama and the

Plastic Box Liners
Aid Fruit Storage

Transparent plastic box liners may
help fruit growers maintain crispness
and fresh quality of stored fruit for
consumers.
Donald Comm, Ohio State Univer-
sity horticulturist, says recent U. S.
Department of Agriculture studies
indicate that sealed film box liners
lengthen cold storage life and main
tain quality of fan and winter pears,
and Golden Delicious apples. These
box liners, made of pliofilm, polye-
thylene or cellophane, also extend
shelf life of fruit after it is removed
from refrigerated storage.
Use of sealed film liners retarded
physiological changes in pears that
are generally associated with pro-
gressive ripeningI of fruit in cold
storage. While bio-chemical tests did
not always reflect the benefit of
sealed film liners for Golden De-
licious apples, vikual and taste exam
nations and dheck OF fruit weight
losses during storage showed the
value of the paSking method.
Comm says moisture conditions
within the SEALED packages are con-
ducive to decay To overcome these,
he says fruit stored in plastic film
should be free of surface abrasions
and potential fuhgi infection. 1t also
should be washed with an effective
fungicide and handled carefully to
prevent bruising.

THE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS
/SPEAK

&
It is we'll known fact that the
public school in our country belongs
to the pSople. Realizing the inn
portance Sf the public school in our
expanding democracy, all citizens
should feA desire and will to i'm
prove present facilities.
We, of the elementary school fac
ulty, as citizens wish to take part
in the discussion of "new elemen-
tary building for boys and girls in
Button" We shall try, like other
citizens, to enlist Your vote in favor
of the pending bond issue.
We are sure that all members of
our school distret would agree to
the fact that oF building should be
as livable as thk factories and offices
in which the father spends his day
or the homeE in which the mother
spends hers.l Constant changes are
necessary tq make for better living
in these places. Why not changes
in the place where your child spends
six hours Oh more daily? Good judg-
ment would keep one from putting
money intoN building which has
served its purpose very we'll for
many years in the past but is now
found to be inadequate.
We believe we should have enough
classrooms to allow for more effec-
tive teaching. These should be larg-
er with more comfortable, healthful
seating (some we have were patent
ed in 1870), more adequate lighting.
A laYatory (shk) in each room
would be usf full. More adequate
storage spacelfor clothing and equip
ment would Fbe provided in a new
building.
The board of education has found
that it is impossible to get replace
ment parts for much of the anti
quated equipment in the building.
Our building, due to age, is noisy
although Ne make a constant effort
to "go huietly". Creaking floors
have pro1en at times to be very
annoying.

that there should be collective
arrangements for assuring the
security of Southeast Asia.
That, remember, is the basic
policy OF the United States. That
1t is only through collective Sc
curlty among several nations
that you can establish a political
background in which 1t is pos
sible to defeat Communist ag-
