BroWneII Outlines
Red PeriIs, but Says
FB| Is Meeting Task
Asks for Five Lows
To Close LoophoIes
Used by Communists
By Cecil HoIIond
By Cecil HoIIond

The country today had a
blunt and authoritative warning
of the dangers of Communist in
filtration at homeland reassur-
ing word of what the FBI is
doing to combat that danger.
Both the warning and the re-
assurance were given by Attor-
ney General Brownell in a tele-
vision report to the Nation last
night. The speech was the
follow-up of the weeks one-two
punch begun Monday night
when President Eisenhower un-
derscored the threats imposed
by worldwide aggressive COM
muniSm.
Mr.. Brownell's speech was
billed as non-controversial and
non partisan-and it turned out
to be just that. The Attorney
General generously credited past
Democratic administrations with
effective actions toward combat
ting aggressive Communist &C
tons and emphasized what the
Eisenhower regime has been do
ing to carry on that undertaking.
No Mccarthy Reference.
Nowhere in Mr.. Brownell's
speech was there any specific
reference to the Communist
hunting activities of Wiscon-
sins controversial Senator Nc
Carthy. But at one point, in the
conclusion, Mr.. Brownell APP
peared to be referring indirectly
to Senator McCarthy's activities
when he said that while the
country should be alert to the
danger of Communist inflltration
I'VE should not have an exag-
gerated fear of the danger"
1.-The FBI. the Department of
Justice and the courts" Mr..
Brownell declared. "are your
agents in dealing with this Com
munist conspiracy"
Mr.. Brownell revealed some
heretofore secret actions of the
FBI in counter intelligence work.
including the disclosure that in
1858 the agency headed by j..
Edgar Hoover reported that
Josef Stain was ill and that
Georgi Malenkov would succeed
him if Stain died.
Great progress has been made
in destroying the effectiveness
of the Communist movement
here at home" Mr.. Brownell
said. However. there are loop
holes in our laws which need to
be plugged to complete the task
of destroying this threat to our
Nations safety
Five-POint Program.
Mr.. Brownell outlined the
necessary loophole-closing steps
as:
l. A law to allow an employer
to dismiss from defense plants
during a national emergency
ANY person whose record shows
that he is likely to engage IN
sabotage or espionage Such a
bill authorizing the removal of
such persons from power plants
and other key spots, Mr.. Brow
nell said, will be presented soon
to Congress.
2. A new law to eliminate
Communist control of any in
dustrial organization or labor
union in vital sections of the
country's economy. Proposed
legislation. Mr.. Brownell said.

French Smash
Rebel Trenches
Near Fortress
Wet Mimi Losses
'Heovy' in. Attack
With Boyonets

HANOI, Indo- China, April 10.
The French high command
announced tonight that troops
rallying from the heart of the
dustbowl fortress of Diem Bien
Phu had inflicted heavy losses"
on the Wet Mimi and smashed
a network of rebel trenches on
the eastern side of the dustbowl.
French infantrymen. spear
headed by tanks and after three
hours of artillery bombardment,
attacked the Communist : led
Wet Mimi and at the point of
bayorets drove them from hill
position in the east.
The Wet Mimi then were driven
out of a series of winding
trenches in bloody hand-to-hand
fighting.
French Losses "Appreciable."
The French high command
announced that the losses Of
the attacking French forces
were "appreciable."
Earlier the French announced
that the Red-led Wet Mimi
staged a sneak attack on the
main air strip at the fortress
last night and blew up the
northern section. They said the
rebels did this by placing bam-
boo poles stuffed with nitro
glycerine under the fields steel
mating. The damage less than
tWo-thirds of a mile from the
heart of the fortress was .e-
paired despite a Red artillery
barrage.
However, planes have been
unable to land at Diem Bien Phu
for some time because of the
heavy Wet Mini Smelling and
the French have had to supply
the fortress by parachute.
Despite the steady hammering
OF key French positions there
was no immediate indication
that fresh general assault was
imminent.
French Strike Back.
The French hit back yesterday
with their own heavy artillery
fire and relentless plane attacks
in an effort to upset the time
table of the Wet Minis Com
munist commanders.
Behind their battered ram
parts, French Union troops also
feverishly rushed work on their
own dugouts, underground bunk
ers and trenches. These have
been riddled by Wet Mimi shells
and were battered under the
furious infantry attacks which
ended abruptly six days ago.
The French yesterday sent out
strong reconnaissance units to
the west and elsewhere around
Diem Bien Phu. But the Wet
Mimi showed little interest in
these expeditions. holding their
fire and saving ammunition for
a general assault. The French
reported mo enemy contacts"
Supplies Dropped.
More ammunition and other
supplies were parachuted to the
fortress yesterday from French
transports and giant flying box
cars piloted by American civilian
airmen.
Observers said If the French
can hammer back one more mass
attack by the Wet Mimi, the
crisis should be over. Until
this next assault has been with
stood, however. the situation for
the defense, force is considered
highly dangerous"
