French Hit Vietminh in
Red River Delta With
U.S.-Supplied Corsairs
HANOI, Indochina, OF—The
French sent their newly supplied
American Navy Corsair fighter
bombers Thursday into the
widening aerial assault upon the
70,000 Communist-led Vietminh
troops inside the key defense bas
tion of the Red River delta.
B-26 bombers, aided by priva
* teers and Corsairs, hammered reg
ular Vietminh troop concentra
tions and occupied villages and
their hideouts in limestone hills
around Phuly, 30 miles south of
Hanoi.
The warplanes flew more than
40 missions, hitting hard at Viet
minh regulars who are spear
heading attempts inside the delta
to smash vital lines of French
communications and key defense
posts, and possibly pave the way
for an eventual major attack from
the outside by Vietminh troops
moving from the fallen fortress
at Dien Bien Phu.
Meanwhile, the French flew one
of Indochina’s most eminent doc
tors to Dien Bien Phu to arrange
for speedy release of seriously
wounded French troops.

> By EDDY GILMORE
GENEVA, IdP)—French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault told the
19-nation Korean conference yes
terday Korea must be reunited
through United Nations-controlled
elections.
Speaking for the first time in
the Korean discussion, Bidault
said reunification should be guar
anteed by an all-Korean commis
sion in which both North and
South Korea would be represent
ed in proportion to their popula
tion.
Bidault called upon the North
Koreans to show a sincere desire
for the creation of a united, dem
ocratic and independent Korea.
He said the United Nations is the
most qualified organization to
designate observers to watch the
proposed elections.
Replying to Communist allega
tions that the United Nations has
become an “accomplice of an ag
gressor country,” Bidault declared
such a statement is neither truth
ful nor provable. He added:
“To accept this would be in
effect to deny on our part the
vary principles of the internation
al organization in which we have
placed our hopes and in the ser
vice of which we have placed our
forces.”
The French minister said that
it was evident North Korea had
committed the aggression by sud
denly penetrating the territory of
its neighbor in armed force with
out previous recourse to any pro
cedure of conciliation or arbitra
tion and without any warning.
Bidault said he wanted to set
forth two principles which the
French delegation considers fun
damental:
"1. No project on Korea’s unifi
cation is conceivable if it does not
include a real, effective guarantee
that all representation of the Kor
ean people within the common
organs which might be instituted
will be proportional to the num
bers of citizens consulted in each
part of the country.
2. It will be extremely neces
sary, if these elections can be
considered as valid, that the con
ditions of the freedom of ballot
be verified and attested by neu
tral observers endowed with suf
ficient powers of control.”

Hodge Urges Nome
To Participate in
Alaska City League
The Nome City Council had a
busy session last Monday evening
with many reports being given.
Highlight at the meeting was a
talk on the League of Alaskan
Cities by Judge Walter .Hodge
who urged the city to participate
in this organization as a fine
source of exchange of ideas for
local government on many prob
lems. He stated that each city has
a vote regardless of size. All in
corporated cities of the territory
are now members except those of
the extreme southeast, and Nome
which is the farthest west. Last
year he stated there were discus
sion panels on city planning, plot
ting, health and many other sub
jects with specialists in these
fields assisting the panels. Nome
is missing something, he said, by
not participating.
The Fire Department reported
four calls for the month with two
of them total losses. $107 was
paid out in volunteer firemen
fees.
The Police Department report
ed fines collected to the amount
of $413.
The Health Department report
ed 85 x-rays taken and one TB
patient sent to the Anchorage
ANS hospital.
Chief of Police Herb Jenks
stated that a dog pound would be
erected at the east end at town
for all stray dogs caught.
Five applications for the posi
tion of police chief were received
and the temporary plan was con
tinued until the next regular
meeting.
The playfield equipment was
checked for repairs to be made
soon.
The mayor announced that Pete
Sandvik would survey Third Ave.
for the necessary change needed
in connection with the construc
tion of the new school addition. I
