Viet MiihViilages
18 Miles From Hanoi
Smashed by French
By Mm Associated Press
HANOI, Indo-China, June 21.
—French tanks, artillery, planes
and gunboats and Viet Namese
infantrymen smashed through a
series of Viet Minh-infested vil
lages 18 miles northwest of Hanoi
today in an overnight mopup.
A French spokesman said the
raiders pushed through sight vil
lages yesterday on the south
banks of the Red River, between
Hanoi and Son Tay.
More villages were under fire
today.
Gunboats Attack.
The villages are on what is
known as Vancoc Island, a sev
eral-mile long sliver of land
formed by a split and eventual
rejoinment of twin Red River
channels.
Small French naval gunboats
from midstream pumped ma
chinegun fire into the villages
while planes and artillery pound
ed them with high explosives
Then Viet Namese infantry units,
supported by light tanks, smashed
their way through the villages
one by one.
Elsewhere in the delta, small
patrol clashes flared during the
night and early morning dark
ness in a dozen different areas,
some less than 10 miles from
Hanoi.
Bombers Blast Convoys.
B-26 bombers, flying below
storm clouds, caught Viet Minh
supply convoys with bombs on
highways the rebels are using
to bring up ammunition and
rocket launchers'to the edge of
the delta for a possible assault
against Hanoi.
In Saigon French military
sources said five United States
airmen captured by the Viet
Minh last Monday near Tourane
had been put aboard a rebel
ship headed southward. The
French said the information
came from reliable village offi
cials.
Synthetic Furs Made
KREFELD, Germany. Furs
are being made of perlon, the
German equivalent of nylon, by
a company in the West German
city of Krefeld. They are said
to be hard to distinguish from
genuine fins, and are much
cheaper.

Employe Profit-Sharing Plan
For Giant Food Is Approved
- By William A. Milieu
Giant Food Shopping Center,
Inc. today announced the In
ternal Revenue Service has ap
proved its employe profit-shar
ing plan.
Annually, under the new pro
gram, the company will contrib
ute a share of its profits to a
trust for the benefit of all sal
aried employes who have com
pleted a year’s service.
J. Harvey Daly, Giant’s public
relations director, said eligible
employes will participate in the
trust funds in proportion to their
compensation and length of
service. The Hamilton National
Bank will be trustee of the fund,
which will be administered by a
committee of company employes,
Mr. Daly said.
Giant operates 26 food super
markets in the Washington met
ropolitan area.
Tax Practices Defended
Seymour Mintz, tax espert
and partner of the Washington
law firm of Hogan & Hartson,
writing in the Journal of
taxation, warned businessmen
against letting publicity by the
Internal Revenue Service "stam
pede them into abandoning en
tirely defensible practices’’ re
garding personal expense ac
counts. Commissioner T. Cole
man Andrews has advised his
revenue agents to scrutinize
closely business expense deduc
tions.
Mr. Mints urged businessmen
to do these four things to pro
tect themselves and aid in es
tablishing legitimate tax - free
expense deductions: 1. keep
fullest possible records of busi
ness expenditures; 2. keep track
of amounts spent which might
be attributable to him or his
family’s expenses; 3. where
practicable, have employer re
imburse him for actual expenses,
rather than make him a flat al
lowance; 4. make provision In
employment contract, where
practicable, concerning company
policy, showing amount and type
of expenses he shall be expected
to bear.
