Reds Prepared For
Another Assault On
Diem Bien Phu

HANOI, Indochina, Up - The
Communicated Vietminh unleash
ed a ''violent artillery lombard
ment on Diem Bien Phu today in
what might be a prelude to a
new infantry assault on the be-
sieged French fortress in north
west Indochina.
A French communique said the
defenders answered back with
tremendous barrages as the rebels
rained down thousands of shells
from their 105 and 75-millimeter
artillery and heavy mortars in the
hills encircling the French held
plain.
Such artillery stepups have
heralded the Vietminh's two pre-
vious attempts to overrun the
fortress.
It was clear the Vietminh
would have to strike soon if they
hope to win big victory before
the East-West conference on Asia
opens in Geneva April 26.
Further south in Indochina,
King NOrodom Sihanouk of Cam
bodia ordered general mobiliza-
ton in his kingdom and amour
ced he would appeal to the United
Nations against Vietminh aggres-
sion there. French observers said
they considered the kings decree
an appeal to world conscience and
not a formal request for U.N. ac-
ton.
The young sovereign's moves
were prompted by a small-scale
invasion of Cambodia by about
two battalions of Vietminh from
Laos eight days ago.

than the grandmother, has an es-
tablished home and an excellent
reputation in her community and
has successfully reared four chill
dren.
A Fairbanks probate court last
month named Mrs. Westbrook
guardian of the boy and his $780,
900 trust fund paying $4,000 a
month.
Relative merits of living in AL
aska and California, SO far as the

before the judge made his ruling.

New York State, moved to Alaska
three years ago.. Her husband,
Clarence, 81, is Fairbanks ac-
countant.
