Some one slapped him twice.
Another grabbed a handful of
his hair.
Pale and seething, Mr.. Pleven
stood with the police in the CEN
ter of the crowd until reinforce
ments finally arrived-almost
half an hour later.
The rest of the crowd of about
1000 watched the attacks with
detachment and made no move
to intervene. They dispersed
after MI. Pleven departed.
Seven Demonstrators Seized.
Police arrested seven of the
demonstrators but later released
all but one.
French official circles and most
newspapers expressed deep con-
Germ over the unprecedented in
cident. It was the first time on
record that a crowd molested a
French Premier and member of
his cabinet.
Paris councilmen called on Po-
lice Project Jean Baylot to ex-
PLAIN to the municipal council
why his forces had not kept order

Because there had been no
advance hint of any demonstra-
ton. only few police were on
hand. The only military units
present were an army band and
a token group of colonial in
fantry.
Crowd Yells for JUN.
The rioters quietly inflltrated
the hushed, reverent throng and
held their tongues until Mr.
Laniel and Mr.. Pleven emerged
from the crowd to place wreaths
on the tomb.
Then they tossed anti-EDC

Exotic Corn in Puris

PARIS tP.-The famous shop
of Hediard near the church Of
the Madeleine in Paris. de-
scribed in its advertising as
"purveyor of spices and exotic
products" has discovered a new
and especially exotic delight for
it's fussy customers: Corn (froz-

IN France on these facts. There
is a wide disagreement over the
question Of what should be done
about it.
The announced government
policy Is to delay negotiations
for peace until the non-commu-
mist forces are in q better bar
gaining position. The great
hope Of the Geneva conference
was that China in return for
American concessions might be
persuaded to withdraw aid from
Ho Chi Mimi. This would not
automatically mean defeat for
the Wet Mimi. But it would
certainly reverse the present.
pessimistic trend and give the
upper hand, both psychologically
and militarily, to the French
Union forces. At best, the way
might be opened to eventual VIC
tory. And at worst, Ho Chin
Mimi would be forced into a
more reasonable frame of mind
on the question of an armistice.
In this policy, the government
has faced strong opposition from
those who demand direct nego-
tiationS with the enemy, starting
Immediately.
The crucial point in the argu-
nent is this: If peace can be re-
established and a single govern
ment formed for all Wet Nam,
the Communists would not nee
essarily take over. The issue Of
nationaliSm versus colonialism
raised by the active intervention
of French troops would disap-
pear. Under peacetime condi-
tions, a more favorable balance
could be struck between truly
nationalist forces and purely
Communist ones. BY actively
supporting these nationalist
groups and by cultivating ties
with the new government, the
free world would encourage a
spirit of independence from
China and Russia.
Optimistic and dangerous as
this solution may be. it is held
by a very large number of
Frenchmen. Essentially, it is a
solution that recognizes the diff
ficulties of trying to defeat COM
munism in Indo-China by mill
tary methods. And in the last
analysis, it appeals to the French
much more than the idea of an
active intervention in the war
by the United States.
tt is hard to see how new
American calls for united ac-
ton" to save Indo-China from
communism will stiffen French
resolve to continue their seven
year struggle. In fact, if first
reactions are any indication, the
main effect of Mr.. Dulles recent
statement has been to discourage
hopes for the Geneva conference
and strengthen the argument for
direct talks with the opposition.
To assume that the French
government, lacking any more
specific proposal from Washing
ton, can hold out indefinitely
against this argument, would be
a very serious mistake indeed.

leaflets in the air, shouted anti
EDO slogans and yelled "Vice
dong live) Juin!" This referred
to Marshal Alphonse Pierre JUN,
who was dismissed from his
French military posts last week
for failing to meet with Mr..
Laniel and Mr.. Pleven to explain
an anti-EDC speech. His dis
missal set off a political uproar.
The violence ensued as the
officials, after signing the golden
book" at the shrine, prepared to
leave.
In a statement later Marshal
JUN washed his hands of the
riot. He said: II do not wish to
find myself associated with this
in any manner. I do not wish to
incur any responsibility in this
matter"

Reds Press Assault
On Diem Bien Phu
Despite HeaVLosses
By the Associoted Press

HANOI, do-China, April 5.
The French high command
announced today the defenders
of Diem Bien Phu had killed
''more than 1000" Wet Mimi
troops trying anew to smash
their way into the heart of the
besieged fortress through its
northwest corner.
Heavy fighting ragged in that
sector of the plain as the Com
muniSt-led rebels battled to
widen the gap against a strong
French Union counterattack sup
ported by tanks, artillery and
war planes.
The high command said the
defenders plugged every breach
made by the Wet Mini in the
northwestern defenses and the
rebels left their dead dangling
In the barbed-wire barricadeS.
Thousands of the wildly
screaming rebels drove into
French positions in the north
west sector shortly after mid
night.
After tank and artillery fire,
the French Union infantry
c1ashed in bitter hand-to- hand
fighting with the Wet Mimi.
Within two hours the counter
attack had closed the breach and
had driven the Wet Mimi back
Calls Morale Sky High.
Every message that reached
the French command in Hanoi
from the fortress commander,
Col. Christian de Castries, 1e-
counted that his mems morale
was "sky-high" and that hopes
of an eventual victory were
mounting.
French squadrons roared over
the masses of rebel troops
throughout the night and early
today. plastering them with L.
O00-pound bombs and fresh bar
RACES of fire bombs.
There was no mention of any
attacks by the Communicated
legions in other areas around the
beleagured plain.
In the northwest it was close
combat. with French Union in
fantrymen often gripping the
black-clad Wet Mini in a hand
to-hand struggle to block their
fanatically furious assaults.
The rebels tore one hole in
that sectors defenses Friday,
overrunning a perimeter post and
completely Wrecking it before the
French drove them out.
See Easier BreakthrOugh.
The frequency of the attacks
by comparatively fresh troops in
the northwest heightened an i'm
preston in Hanoi that the Wet
Mini believe a breakthrough
there might be easier than at
any other point.
The rebels last night pulled
their forces a quarter of a mile
back from the heavily assailed
eastern and southeastern de-
lenses of the French-held plain
ITS miles west Hanoi.
A French spokesman said then
he doubted the Wet Mimi could
mount another heavy assault
within II hours but emphasized
the attackers pullback of 400 to
500 yards could in no way be
called a retreat.
"It'S merely a slackening of
their line. probably for regroup-
ing. The battle is far from over, !"
the spokesman added.
Today was the sixth day of
steady attack by the fanatic,
screaming legions of Moscow
trained Ho Chi Mini in a re-
neWaL of the infantry assaults
first launched at the fortress
March 13, then broken off three
days later.
Authoritative French sources
estimated the Wet Mimi had lost
$1,000 killed and wounded
about half their original attack
ing force-in the three weeks of
often hand-to-hand fighting,
constant artillery duels and
massive round the clock bomb
ing and strafing from the fight
ers and bombers the United
States is SllnnlYino the French.

Korea BuiIdup Probable
Mr.. Dulles said that an "air
and military buildup is probable"
in North Korea, but added that
the Neutral Supervisory Commits
sion is prevented by the Com
muniSts from entering North
Korea. Therefore, he said, it is
mot able to do an adequate job
Of checking" to obtain complete
proof of the buildup.
Representative Lawrence H.
Smith. Republican, of Wisconsin,
asked, Who are doing the
buildup?n
"The forces in de facto (actuaD
control of North Korea" Mr..
Dulles said. This referred to the
Chinese Communists, who re-
portedly have virtually annexed
North Korea.
Representative Morano. Re-
publican. of Connecticut asked:
IF the Chinese Communists are
firing antiaircraft guns, doesn't
that mean the active participa-
ton you were reported to have
said would bring retaliation on
the Chinese mainland?"
Secretary Dulles replied that if
the question referred to a speech
he made in st. Louis last Sep
TENDER 2, Il said that if the
Chinese sent their Red armies
into Indo- China it would be apt
to produce action which might
not be confined to Indo- China.
Technically they have not
done precisely the thing I de-
fined.
They're coming awful close to
it,"
Saved by "TechnicaIities."
Secretary Dulles said the Chi
nese Communists are mot openly,
blatantly committing new ag-
erosion" in Indo-C China, "but
they are only Saving themselves
from that charge by technical
tiles" He called the things they
are doing rather ominous."
The Secretary added that the
Chinese Communists ''claim they
are not aggressors because Ho
Chi Mimi (the Moscow-trained
rebel LEADER is a patroit seeking
independence from the French"
and they are helping him.
"They said the same thing
regarding Korea" he COM
mented.
Gillette Voices Alarm.
Another cry of alarm came
from Senator Gillette, Democrat,
of Iowa. In a speech prepared
for Senate delivery, Senator Gil
lette said the United States
should:
1. Demonstrate frankly and
publicly that it wants the Indo-
Chinese states Ito be completely
free and independent nations"
2. Bring the war in Indo-
China before the United Ma
tons"
Senator Gillette continued:
ported by the President, has in
effect served notice that the
United States will fight, if nee
essary, to prevent Indo-China
from falling into Communist
hands.

close the door completely to pos

A record number came to st. Croix for the Christmas Festival;
without doubt all had a really enjoyable time and have said SO.
There were numerous parties in the towns of Chrstiansted and
Frederiksted that kept all the visitors happy throughout the season.
Most amazing to many visitors is the fact that throughout the
holidays if there were any drunkenness or fights. none were seen
or heard Of. It is worthy of note too, that although we now have.
twice as many autos, thus far there were. only three serious acct
dents, no serious injury. There is only enc motorcycle Patrolman.
Not a bad record. incidentally, one accident was the result of
an animal crossing the highway
Great credit goes to- the inhabitants when it is realized that
virtually all our streets and highways are in extremely bad con-
dition. Probably the worst in years-due, of course, to lack of funds
The Public Works Department cannot resurface the streets and
highways unless funds are supplied by the government There has
been considerable increase in everything except the appropriation.
to this department in particular.
Thus, the filling Of holes and patching here and there must
continue until the lawmakers make a definite appropriation for
this work.
