My service with you in Ger
many and in Washington has
increased my already sincere and
lasting admiration for the truly
great qualities of character, in
tegrity and purpose which typify
your leadership"
Mr.. Dodge said he is resigning
with considerable regret, al
though the President has known
of his intention to quit as soon
as practicable after the new
budget was presented to Con-
gresS in January.
The President told Mr.. Dodge
that his services in the Budget
Bureau have been Invaluable
to the country" and added:
Your competence and knowl-
edge in an exceedingly difficult
field have immeasurably helped
to solve the gigantic fiscal and
management problems that have
faced this administration"
The President said he will
sorely miss Mr.. Dodge's advice
and has every intention of seek
ing his opinions on knotty ques-
tions in the future.

BY the Assoeioted Press

TOKYO, Mar. 81. japanese
reaction to American hydrogen
bomb tests mounted anew today
after two more fishing boats re-
turned from the Marshall Island
area showing radiation effects.
The Japanese government Off
cially informed the United States
that the first boat to be affected.

The two latest fishing boats
showing radiation were quaran-

escaped serious harm and no
fears fol the crew have been ex-
pressed by Japanese officials.
One had been operating some
780 miles from the Bikini test
site and the other was about

Force plane was sent to Yaizu
to bring 81 of the men to Tokyo
for further medical care. The
two most seriously burned crew.
men are already in Tokyo hos

The two latest fishing boats to
show signs of radiation are the
Myojin bright Cod Maru,
which returned to Shiogama
north of Tokyo, and the Koei
radiant Glory Maru, which
returned to Misaki south of
Tokyo.
Welfare Ministry officials said
the Moyjin apparently was only
slightly affected. The Koei
Maru received a stronger dose.
However, the news agency Kyo-
do reported that Welfare Min
istry officials concluded there
was no need for the crew of 25
to receive any medical treat
ment and the ship could be used
after a thorough washing.
Concerned Over Market.
japanese fishery circles were
concerned that the latest Incl
dents might further harm the
fish market, already suffering as
a result of the Fukuryu Maru
incident.

received a reply which said:
"Our inspectors found no in

Referring to Pvt. Schine's

ing must be simon-pure, not a

He said the Army currently is
investigating Pvt. Schine's civil

all CT applicants. He said this
check is similar to a background
survey of all applicants for the
FBI.
No Actual Grades Kept.
An Army spokesman said Pvt.
Schine was among the top 10
per cent of his class, but Gen.
Howard said actual grades are
not kept. He said the records
would show two major ratings
on character and efficiency.
IT imagine Schine's character
rating will be excellent and his
efficiency rating superior" the
general said.
Gen. Howard said he had no
way of knowing how soon orders
on Pvt. Schine will come down
from Washington. While in the
receiving company, the general
explained. Pvt. Schine will be
available for any casual labor. -
He said that tentatively, be-
cause of Pvt. Schine's experience
with photography, he will be
assigned to duty in the photo
classroom, where he will do

Truce Pleas

Continue Firing
On Airstrip Used
By Mercy Planes
By the Associoted Press

HANOI, Indo-China. Mar. 27.
The French today stepped up
radio pleas for a brief cease fire
to permit planes to move their
wounded from Dien Bien Phu.
But the Wet Mini continued
their constant bombardment of
the besieged northwest Indo-
China fortress.
The French high command
formally accused the Commu-
nist-led rebels of flagrantly ig-
noring plainly marked hospital
planes flying mercy missions.
French commander in chief
Gen. Henri Navarro appealed
personally in a broadcast to Wet
Mimi commander Gen. Vo Ngu-
yen Clap and gave assurances
the marked planes would be used
only for carrying out wounded.
Acknowledge Appeals.
A command spokesman said
the Wet Mini acknowledged re-
ceiving three appeals to halt their
Shelling of the Dien Bien Phu
airstrip but had kept it up with
out a break. Despite this, he
said, American-supplied helicop-
ters and transports were Drawing
the fire and at times managing
to evacuate some wounded.
The spokesman did not dis
close how many casualties had
been taken out to hospitals in
Hanoi and elsewhere or how
many were still in the heavily
bunkered, underground first aid
station of the fortress.
The spokesman said the aid
station had been hammered by
Wet Mini fire.
Cite Earlier Truce.
He pointed out the French had
quickly agreed to a rebel cease
fire request on March 13, the day
after the first massive Wet Mini
battle for the isolated mountain
position began. The enemy took
advantage of the break to gather
up hundreds of dead and
wounded" from the dusty plain,
the spokesman said.
The French government al
ready has protested to the In
ternational Red Cross that the
Wet Mini was shooting up mercy
planes and killing and wounding
medical personnel. Similar pro-
tests were broadcast from here
with the announcement they
were for the attention of Ho
Chi Mimi" the -tutored
leader of the rebels.
The Communist chieftain of
the Wet Mini apparently feels
that planes landing on the for
trese air strip might carry troop
reinforcementS or supplies, most
of which have had to be para
chuted in.
Air Attacks Continue.
The French kept up air at
tacks today on the Wet Mimi
positions ringing Dien Bien Phu
and ground patrols thrust warily
at the attackers. The Wet Mini
meanwhile, brought in more
fighting power and continued to
dig an intricate trench system
around Dien Bien Phu's barbed
wire barricadeS.
The French claimed to have
destroyed a long string of fox
holeS-some within 200 yards
of the barbed wire barricades de-
Tending the fortress-and killed
AZ Wet Mini soldiers.
In the continuing battle
against Wet Mimi infiltration in
the vital Red River Delta around
Hanoi. the French reported to-
day killing 116 rebels and cap
turing ITO others. They also said
they rounded up ITS suspected
Wet Mimi supporters in the
sweep through the vicinity OF
Sontay, IS miles north of Hanoi
