here today by Horst Lemke, q
blond 24-year-old German elec-
trician. After five years in the
French Foreign Legion. he was
among the last to be flown out
Of the beleagued fortress where
Brig. Gen. Christian de Castries'
out n um bel e d French Union
troops are battling legions of the
Communicated Wet Mimi rebels
He left Diem Bien Phu March
T., just five days before rebel
artillery closed down the only
air escape route. Because of
French censorship in Indo-
China, his was the first detailed
interview with a combat veteran
Of the battle on which the
worlds eyes now are fixed.
THE fighting spirit of the
French Union troops is wonder
full and the men have a great
and warm loyalty for Gen. de
Castrles," Lemke said. They'd
go through blazing fires for him
and they fight with bravery and
with confidence.
You can't talk about lighting
spirit when you talk about the
Wet MIMI" the ex-Legionnaire
continued.
They don't fight with loyalty:
they always looked to me like
they were blindly obedient ma
chimes. as though somebody be-
hind them was forcing them
forward mercilessly to their
death.
They throw themselves at
the defenSes wildly. Much of it's
at night. and it's bloody and
vicious.
There's lots of hand hand

Trees From Flames

To fireproof your Christmas
tree, which is still a hazard even
with electric lights. select your
tree four to six days before you
intend to decorate it. Then weigh
the tree and buy one-fourth as
many pounds of ammonium sui
fate as the tree weighs. This chem
ical is available in most stores
that sell seeds and fertilizers.
For each pound of ammonium
sulphate use l12 pints of water to
make the fireproofng solution.
Mix the solution in something tall
and narrow that will hold the tree
upright. Then saw off the tree
diagonally so as to give a large
cut surface. Set the tree in the
solution in a cool place, away
from the direct sunlight, and
leave it there until most Of the
