Communist Rulers
Learn an Old Lesson

The Communist rulers are
learning again that the will of
the free is not broken by
violence or intimidation.
The brutal Soviet conquest
of Czechoslovakia did not dis
integrate the will of the West.
It led to the formation Of the
North Atlantic Treaty alliance.
The violent conquest of the
China mainland followed by
the Korean aggression did not
paralyze the will of the free
nations. 1t led to a series of
Pacific mutual security pacts
and to the creation under the
North Atlantic Treaty of a
powerful defensive force-in-
being.
The violent battles now
being waged in Wet Nam and
the armed aggressions against
Laos and Cambodia are not
creating any spirit Of defeat
ism. On the contrary. they are
rousing the free nations to
measures which we hope will
be sufficiently timely and Wig
orous to preserve these vital

The United States, working in

fishing by peaceful means a

I also discussed with Presi-
dent Eisenhower the prospec-
tive meeting of the NATO Mini
sterial Council to be held>in

hover the United States esti-
mate of the world situation,
and the persistence in varying
forms, of the menace of Soviet
communism which makes it
imperative that there be col
lective measures to meet that
menace.
The President expressed his
great personal satisfaction
that NATO, as it completes its
fifth year. has already made a
large contribution to peace and
faces the future with a pros
pect OF growing strength and
unity.

that the allies are closer than

Romania Falls in Line
For Collective Rule
Instead ofby 0neMaIl
BY the Assoeioted Press

VIENNA, April 20.-Commu-
mist Romania announced today
that Premier Gheorghe Gheor-
ghiu-Dej had resigned as general
secretary Of the Romanian Com
munist Party.
His action was in line with
q similar division Of govern
mental and party responsibilities
already carried out in the Soviet
Union, Hungary and Poland.
The announcement, broadcast
by Radio Bucharest, said the
top party post had been taken
over by Gheorghe Apostol. It
added that he gave up his post
as deputy premier and minister
of agriculture to take on the
new duties.
Radio Bucharest said the shift
was ordered by the party's Cen
tral Committee.
Follows New Pattern.
The pattern for such divorce
rnent of the top government and
party posts in the Communist
world was laid down in Moscow
following the death of Stain
last year. The Russian dictator
had been both Premier and Sec
retary general of the Soviet
Party. but in the Shakeup after
his death Georgi Malenkov be-
came the government head and
Nikita S. KhruShchev SubSe-
quently took over as party chief.
Western observers in Vienna
anticipate a similar shakeup
soon in Bulgaria, where Premier
Vulko Chervenkov is also party
secretary general.
Radio Bucharest said the par
ty central committee met yes
terday and decided on the
changes in the interest of "col-
lective leadership"-rule by
group of officials rather than
the one-man dictatorship of
Stains time.
Secretariat Set Up.
The announcement added that
the reorganization was expected
to achieve more active party
functioning."
The committee, the broadcast
said, set up a four-man Secre-
tariat to handle the day-to-day
leadership of the party in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the
party politburo.

Called Next Move
In Indo-China War

Brig. Gen. Bonner Fellers. q.
S. A, retired. who served on
Gen. Douglas McArthur's staff
during World War II. said yes
terday the next step of the
United States in Indo- China
will be air-sea support.
Gen. Fellers spoke at the Pa
triots' Day luncheon sponsored
by the American Ideals Com
mittee and the Military and Ma
val Affairs Committee of the
Washington Board Of Trade in
the Burlington Hotel.
I'VE are about to go into a
full-scale war in Indo-C China, !"
Gen. Fellers said. I'VE are al
ready in a war as far as my
standards are. The next step
will be air-sea support from
carriers. This will recessitate
American ground crews to direct
the planes, and If this does not
bring an armistice, then ground
forces will be used"
Gen. Fellers said the situa-
tion today is as serious as that
faced by our forefathers at Lex
ington.
Gen. Fellers said he was not
saying that decisions being made
about Indo-C China policy now
are wrong but that they should
be made only with the consent of
all the American people.

HANOI. Indo-C China, April 20.
The thousands of valiant de-
tenders of Dien Bien Phu-
trapped by encircling hosts Of
Communicated Wet Mimi troops
received fresh strength from
the skies today.

and Flying Boxcars, piloted by
American civilian flyers, swooped
low through curtains of fire
from rebel artillery and anti
aircraft batteries to parachute
tons more, ammunition. food.
and war materief Of all types
into the long-besieged French
Union baStion.
Despite cloudy. rain-laden
skies which forced war planes
to curtail radically their assaults
on rebel positions. fighters firing
rockets and heavy machine guns
tried to knock out the Wet
Minis anti-aircraft guns.

They gave cover to the low
flying transports dropping more

saults since March 13 and con-
slant local Wet Mimi attacks
In the intervening weeks.
Constantly pressing In on the
Y-shaped French chain of de-
fenSe, the legions of Communist
Ho Chi Mimi by today had ringed
the shrunken fortif1cations with
trenches and dugouts 1000 yards
or less from the fortress main
barriers.
The rebels over the week end
captured two more French out
posts on the northern arms Of
the "Y" to further ring in the
garrison.
Fighting Has Political Tinge.
The French union defenders
fought back with renewed fury
in their never-ending effort to
deny the Wet Mimi a major
victory before the big powers
meet next Monday to talk about
peace in Asia.
There was little fresh word
from the fortress ITS miles west
of Hanoi today. The French
high command said only that
the situation last night was "rel-
atively calm"
