French Tell
Of Losses In
Indochina •
Withdrawal From
Rich Red River
Area Announced
•y PORRIST IDWARDS
HANOI, Indochina (e (TV— The
French announced today they are
withdrawing from the southern
quarter! of the rich Red River
delta, abandoning to the Commu
hist-led Vietminh thousands of
miles of rich rice lands and an
estimated two million Indochinese.
The withdrawal, rumored in
progress for some days, yields to
the rebels without a fight such
major points as the big Catholic
center of Phat Diem, 75 qiiles
southeast of Hanoi; Thai Binh, 80
miles southeast of the war capital;
Ninh Binh, 80 miles south of Hanoi;
' and the major textile manufactur
ing town of Nam Dinh, 55 miles
southeast of Hanoi.
Report Confirmed
The French confirmed they were
pulling out of the area on Wednes
day but tight military censorship
prevented cabling of the news
abroad until today.
(The French news agency report
ed in Paris that the Vietminh occu
pied nut Diem at 10 a.m. Wednes
day.
(In London, the British Foreign
Office announced last night it had
warned the 150 British Common
wealth citizens in Hanoi to be
ready to leave on short notice.)
A French army spokesman said
the troops were being pulled out of
the delta's southern zone because
they are needed to protect Hanoi
and the supply lifeline between it
and Indochina’s major seaport,
Haiphong, 64 miles to the east
Prepare Te Defend
The spokesman said the French
’were shrinking their defense lines
to meet a possible attack by "six
Vietminh divisions massed on the
delta borders.”
Such an attack—with Hanoi as
the main objective—has been ex
pected ever since the rebels early
this month completed transfer to
the delta borders of the thousands
of battle-tested troops who overran
Dien Bien Phu.
Since then the French have
abandoned one after another of
their small posts south of Hanoi
under a policy of tightening the
perimeter of defense.” Spokesmen
Insisted repeatedly, however, there
was no real evacuation of any por
tion of the French-held territory.
(Associated Press Correspondent
Larry Alien, who recently went
from Hanoi to Singapore after two
yean of covering the Indochina
war, reported yesterday that the
French were preparing for a last
ditch stand along file Hanoi-Hai
phong rail and roadway unless a
cease-fire agreement et the Geneva
conference should forestall the an
ticipated Vietminh attack.
May Leae Hanoi
(Allen said the French already
envisioned they also might have to
give up Hanoi and its 600,000 inhab
itants and were strengthening the
defenses of Haiphong for a beach
head stand.)
The decision to withdraw from
the southern delta was made in the
face of strenuous opposition from
officials of the Viet Nam govern
ment headed by chief of state Bao
Dai, the ex-Emperor of Annam.
Viet Nam’s new Premier, Ngo
Dinh Diem, flew to Hanoi yester
day for conferences with North
Viet Nam Gov. Nguyen Huu Tri.
Tri told newsmen Tuesday that
"40,000 to 50,000 persons have been
evacuated from the four cities in
the southern past of the delta in
the past two weeks.”
Vietnamese sources said those
being brought out, to Heaol, were
French civilians and families of
Vietnamese soldiers fighting with
French Union forces.
Peer Increases
France’s new Premier, Pierre
Mendes-Frence, has promised to
win an armistice in Indochina by
July 20 or resign. Since he took
office io days ego, fears have in
creased among Vietnamese allied
with the French that France would
agree to a settlement at Geneva
ceding ail or most of northern Indo
china to file Communist-command
ed rebels.
The United States has opposed
strongly any such partition of the
country.
Gov. Tri termed the withdrawal
"unnecessary” and said, "The en
tire delta should be defended.”
"A decision to withdraw should
be based on an agreement which
hast already been made between
the French and Vietminh at Gen
ova,” he declared.
A French Army spokesman em
phatically denied that the with
drawal was the result of any such
agreement. He ask! it was "moti
vated entirely by defense needs in
the northern and central parts of
the delta which must be defended.”

Children’s Bookmobile To
Start Operations Here Soon
Civic Minded
Key Westerg
Form Company
Seven civic minded Key West re
sidents have banded together to
form a non-profit corporation to
furnish a "Bookmobile” which will
bring good reading right to the
doorsteps of local children.
The project came to light yester
day when attorney Enrique Esquin
aldo, Jr. filed the papers of in
corporation in the Circuit Court.
President of tHte • corporation,
which does not intend to make any
money, but rather proposes to en
rich the minds of children of el
ementary school age, is Navy
Commander Walter F. Toy, 3644
Duck Ave. Mrs. Edward F. Bay
ly, 2104 Fogarty Ave., is vice presi
dent and Mrs. R. E. Lilly, 2516
Harris Ave. is secretary-treasurer.
Members of the board of directors
include Edwin F. Trevor, 3637 Ave.
E, the Rev. John Reese, 800 Center
St., Lt. Cmdr. Charles Robinson,
and Mrs. George V. Rogers, 45
Maine Road, Sigsbee Park. *
Idea Conceived
Commander Toy explained today
that the project was conceived at
a meeting of the Poinciana School
Parent and Teachers Association
meeting in May.
A discussion brought out the
fact that the reading, ability of
many children of Navy families is
not up to standard because they are
often transferred in the middle of
the school year. It was decided
that the ideal time to remedy the
situation would be during the sum
mer vacation by encouraging child
ren to read good books.
Problem: How to get the books
to the children since school librar
ies are open only one hour a day
during the vacation period.
About a half dozen parents held
several meetings and the result
was a proposal to start a book
mobile.
The results will be evidenced
when the Bookmobile starts mak
ing its rounds, probably next week.
It wasn’t that easy, however,
many hours of work and planning
have been necessary to make the
project a reality.
Community Chost Helps
Toy declared that the city’s ser
vice clubs have come through with
gifts of money for initial costs.
The Community Chest has offered
to pay the first month’s cost of
operation with the possibility ad
vanced that they may turn over
funds set aside for the operation
of the now-defunct Jayteen to the
Bookmobile project.
Edwin Trevor, owner of the
Columbia Laundry donated a used
laundry truck and the Mulberg
Chevrolet Cos., helped with a paint,
job for the vehicle. Volunteer
workers are installing moveable
shelves in the truck. The school
children themselves have donated
about 1000 books for the travel
ing library.
Mrs. Edith Russell, a teacher at
Poinciana School will be the li
brarian.
Bayly emphasized today that
every child in the the city will be
welcome to use the Bookmobile.
"And there is no intention of
charging for the service, "he add
ed.
Five Zones
The city has been divided into
five zones with the Bookmobile
visiting a different one daily. The
zones: 1. Areas outside the city
limits, including Boca Chica and
Stock Island. 2. Poinciana School
area. 3. Truman School area. 4.
Douglass School area. 5. Harris
School area* and all civilian and
Navy housing projects and the
Naval Base.
"We want to create within the
child the urge to read for himself,”
said Toy, “Teachqrs h-*>ve endorsed
the idea enthusiastically.”
He added the books the corpora
tion may purchase will be selected
for children from the first through
the sixth grade. As soon as pos
sible, the Bookmobile plan will be
extended to include junior high and
high school ages, he added.
Commander Toy pointed out that
the Bookmobile is-still accepting
contributions of suitable children’s
books. Naval personnel may leave
books at the Naval Station library
while a civilian "depot” will be
announced later.
TWO PLEAD GUILTY
IN CRIMINAL COURT
Two persons pleaded guilty to
day in Criminal Court before
Judge Thomas S. Caro.
Mrs. George R. Koch, charged
with operating a hotel without a
license, was fined court costs or
30 days in jail.
The $250 bond of Charles Chick-
I ering, charged with carrying a
concealed weapon, was forfeited.
LIFE UNDERWRITERS
INSTALLATION SET
Winston Wynne, immediate past
president of the Florida State As
j sociation of Life Underwriters,
j will install the new officers of the
i Key West Life Underwriters this
: evening.
The installation will take place
at a dinner meeting which will be
j held at the La Concha Hotel at
i 7:30.
Jaycees Hear Of
Requests For
“Florida Guide”
Cy Knoop, state publications
chairman, told the JayCees at their
regular Wednesday night meeting
that 350,000 people from other
states had requested the JayCee’s
“Florida Guide” in t*e last few
months.
Key West is publicized to a large
degree in the publication and in the
next issue, the city will have a
larger advertisement which will be
more noticeable and therefore
more enticing to the general public
in visiting Key West.
Another special guest was the
former district vice president, John
Buckley, who praised the local
club for their outstanding work in
civic affairs during the last year
and voiced his opinion that it would
be an even more successful new
year. *
The movie, "Whistling Wings”
was acclaimed by all.
With vacation time coming up
here, the JayCees are oiling their
guns and fishing gear in prepara
tion for their well deserved holi
day.
Oppenheimer May
Appeal Dismissal
To Eisenhower
PRINCETON, N. J. (*>-Dr. J.
Robert Oppenheimer said yester
day "I don’t dismiss” the possibil
ity of appealing to President Ei
senhower the Atomic Energy Com
mission’s decision barring him ac
cess to secret atomic data.
The atomic pioneer said he was
surprised by the President’s state
ment that he would be listened to
if he decided to appeal, and added
that the idea "never occurred to
me.”
In a telephone interview, Oppen
heimer said his present plans are
to continue research in fundament
al physics although it will be "a
nuisance” not having clearance to
piany laboratories.
There are many private institu
tions, Oppenheimer said, at which
experiments are being conducted
for the government and where he
is "not welcome” any longer.
The AEC declared that Oppen
heimer, once one of its most trust
ed advisers, is unfit to handle
America’s atomic secrets because
of “defects of character . . . and
dangerous associations.” Its ma
jority report said the question of
his loyalty was not at issue.
Two Are Injured
In D€ 6 Mishap
NEW YORK Mb—The nose wheel
of a National Airlines DC6 plane
collapsed during a landing at Idle
wild Airport today dropping the
big plane’s nose to the ground and
tilting its tail high. Two of the 48
passengers were injured slightly.
A small fire developed in the
nose wheel housing. It was put out
quickly by the plane’s engineer,
while the captain and other crew
members assisted passengers out
through emergency exits.
The plane had left Tampa, Fla.,
at 10:45 p.m. last night and made
a stop at Jacksonville just after
midnight. It arrived here early this
morning.
Capt. Ralph Farish of Jackson
ville said the passengers remained
“quite cool.”
The two passengers said to have
received slight injuries refused
medical air. They were listed as
Lucian F. Thomas, 43, of Fort
Myers, Fla., and Lucille Serville,
29, of Jacksonville.

TODAY’S
STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK (J)The stock
market was mostly lower in early
trading today. Turnover slowed
abruptly after a moderately active
opening.
On the offside were the aircrafts,
motors, chemicals, rails, oils and
coppers. Rubbers showed some
firmness. Mail orders were mixed.
Some brokers had predicted an
uneasy market today because of
uncertainty over the fate of tax
relief on dividends. In addition,
some continuation of yesterday’s
profit-taking in the market leaders
was looked for.
Fractionally lower were U.S.
Steel, Chrysler, General Motors,
Boeing, American Telephone, Al
lied Chemical,- DuPont, American
Tobacco Baltimore Sc Ohio, Stan
dard Oil (New Jersey) and Johns-
Manville. Gains were posted by
United Fruit, Celanese, Vanadium,

will find a formula. At least that
is my desire.”
Later the conferees dined to
gether at Loma Linda, palatial
home of Rafael Meza Ayau, Sal
vadorean economics minister and
a beer baron.
After dinner they reconvened at
Osorio’s presidential mansion.
Shortly after midnight Ek Salva
dor’s presidential press officer saijl
Castillo Armas and Monzon had
gotten down to terms which prom
ised to lead to a definite settlement.
As the parley continued, word
came out of the conference that,
terms of the settlement would be
broadcast by the Guatemalan gov
ernment and rebel radios.
El Salvador offered its good of
fices to settle the Guatemalan con
flict after a cease-fire Tuesday end
ed the shooting—in theory at least.
Mediator Sought
Osorio said the junta government
had asked him to mediate, but
that the United States was taking
no part in the talks since it had
not asked to mediate. However,
U. S. Ambassador Michael Mc-
Dermott met the two Guatemalan
leaders when they arrived in their
separate planes at the airport here
yesterday.
During last night’s conference
the papal nuncio to Guatemala,
Msgr. Gennaro Verolino stood by
outside the closed chamber. The
Pope’s representative said he had
been asked by Monzon to "do what
I can and help if asked.”
U. S. and Salvadorean officials
expressed hope the talks would
lead to an anti-Red coalition of
Castillo Armas and Monzon which
would wipe out the Communists
who became entrenched in the
Caribbean land dux-ing the regime
of ousted President Jacobo Arbenz
Guzman.
Leaders Arrive
Monzon, clad in a neat business
suit, arrived in a plane piloted by
Col. Vernon E. Martin of San Fran
cisco, air attache to the U. S. Em
bassy at Guatemala.
Castillo Armas, still wearing his
field kh&ki, arrived in a plane
piloted by Col. Rodolfo Mendoza,
whose brother Miguel is chief of
the rebel air force.
Mendoza said the rebel air force
—four P47s and two C 47 trans
ports—had been grounded in ob
servance of the armistice. He pre
dicted the hardest job would be to
get the strife-wracked country
back on a normal basis.
He disclosed that Zacapa, key
Guatemalan rail junction between
the capital and the major Carib
bean port of Puerto Barrios, sur
rendered to the insurgents Tues
day night.
Nw Violence
Meanwhile, new violence was re
ported from Guatemala. Govern
ment troops were rushed to Es
cuintla, Communist stronghold 30
miles south of Guatemala City,
where Red chieftain Carlos Man
uel Pellecer was reported plotting
a peasant uprising.
Red-indoctrinated farm workers
were also reported sparking up
risings at Concepcion, near Esc- [
cuintla, and nearby Pinula, where
a police chief w’as stoned to death ,
Tuesday. The Reds were reported
telling the peasants that the new
regime would take away the lands
which Arbenz had distributed
among them.
Guatemala’s police chief, Col.
Ruben Gonzales Segui, said Pelle
cer could probably foment strife
for a long time by inciting guer
rilla warfare in Guatemala’s hilly
forests. Gonzales said the rebel air
force might be put back into action
against the guerrillas.
Refuge Sought \
Pellecer took refuge in the Ar
gentine Embassy after Arbenz’s
downfall. Later he was ousted
along with former secret police
chief Jaime Rosenberg and other
former leaders because embassy
officials feared their presence
would provoke violence from anti
communist crowds outside.
Pellecer then fled to Escuintla
and the reports of uprisings began
coming in.
From Antigua, however, came
word that anti-Communists had
besieged the Reds there and were
trying to hang their leaders.
A top Guatemalan official said

said negotiations broke down over
the issue of wages and what he
termed a desire by Western Elec
tric to establish new operations
bases which would entail transfers
of workers.
Wage Dispute
However, G. F. Raymond, WE’s
personnel director, said that wages 0
appeared to be the prime stumbl
ing block in the dispute.
Negotiations have been in prog
ress since April 6.
Dunne said all arrangements for
picketing were to be made by A. T.

national strike director, and would
come from the union's headquar
ters in Washington, D. C.
The union has charged that pre
vious company offers were condi
tioned on what it termed "weak
ening clauses” in previous senior
ity, travel pay and holiday con
tract provisions.
Agreement Sought
The settlement was taking time,
however. At 3:30 a.m. the negoia
ors announced they had agreed to
extend the cease-fire on the fight
ing until 9 a.m. today, an indica
tion that they hoped for final agree
ment by then but had not yet
achieved it.
Raymond said the company had
offered "better” holidays treat
