In Indo-China last week things were a little quieter than usual around Dienbienphu. During the lull, both armies prepared them selves for the coming big battle with reinforcements and supplies. The French troops were dropped by parachute. They were infantry volunteers with only a few hours parachute instruction and no prac tice. The Communist reinforce ments came by truck over roads from Red China. Reports from Paris on Indo- China stated that Communist losses were not as heavy as had been re ported. They were scaled down frorn .25,000 to, between 10,000 and 12,000.. The Frehch losses have been ,2,5(K). .Among these are 800 wounded still at Dienbienphu with inadequate medical care. Paris also report e d ’ that the ammunition shortage that crippled the French during the first two Red offensives has been corrected by good flying weather.

While Eisenhower was vacation ing Georgia and Dulles was resting after his trip to Europe, Vice-pre sident Nixon made a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington. For Ge neva, and for a basic understand ing of the U. S. policy, his speech said that the U. S. and the free world could not afford any more losses to ' Communism in Asia, and that the U. S. intended to do what ever was necessary to stop any other Communist advance. Last week Rumanian-born Vale ria Georgescu and his wife saw their two sons for the first time in six years. When they came to the U. S. they were forced to leave the two boys behind. Last year they were promised their sons if they would become Red spies. They refused. After President Eisen hower wrote a personal letter to the Rumanian Prime Minister last February, the boys were freed and taken to Bucharest. Their father met them in Munich and brought them to New York for reunion with their mother. Here is a happy end for at least one story. MORRIS SERVICE Next To Carolina Theatre * ♦ ♦ * * Sandwiches—Salads—Sodas “The Place Where Salemites Meet” enqrauinqco. there and Here (Continued from page two) a “lift.” There is also some confusion about the word “flat.” A “flat” in America is called an “apartment;” w'hat they call a “flat” is a punc ture in your tyre (here spelled “tire”). Consequently, you notice: “Flats fixed” dosen’t indicate an estate agent where they are going to fix you up with a flat, but a garage where they are equipped to mend a puncture.
