Two French Forces Hit Deep Into Red Territory HANOI, Indo-china — Two big French striking forces supported by tanks and planes slashed deep into Communist-infested territory south of Hanoi and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, the high command announced today. Light tanks rumbled over rice field dikes toward the village of Yen Phu, seven miles southwest of Phu Ly yesterday, shooting up Communist positions, while amphibious alligators slew across brimming paddies to hit the enemy with a barrage of 75 millimeter shells. The high command announcement revealed the loss of Yen Phu, second defense outpost to fall to some 40 miles below Hanoi, the enemy this week. The high command announced earlier the Reds had overwhelmed An Xa, the "little Dien Bien Phu" of the Red River Delta. In both cases the Communists overwhelmed the exhausted garrisons by sheer weight of numbers, sending in some 800 men against the lone Viet Namese loyal company defending each through three weeks of bloody siege. One spearhead of the french striking force encircled a "strong force" of rebel Viet Minh troops near the Khenon Plateau nine miles from Phu Ly, the high command said. Fighting was reported "violent," but there was no estimate of casualties. American-built Corsair fighters chased isolated groups of rebels fleeing the encirclement and machinegunned them as they splashed through the paddies. Franco-Viet Namese infantry jumped out of their amphibious vehicles and followed the tanks in for brief but savage skirmishes. After striking their blow the columns withdrew from the area.

Yorba Linda Voters Approve Bond Issue YORBA LINDA (OCNS)—Yorba Linda voters yesterday approved a $85,000 bond issue for new school construction by a vote of 323 to 55. Named to the school board was Earl Nicholson, unopposed. American-built Corsair fighters chased isolated groups of rebels fleeing the encirclement and machinegunned them as they splashed through the paddies. Franco-Vietnamese infantry jumped out of their amphibious vehicles and followed the tanks in for brief but savage skirmishes. After striking their blow the columns withdrew from the area at noon and returned to their bases in the north, presumably in the direction of Hanoi the French said. French Union losses were described as "appreciable." The French twinpronged drive into the Delta country appeared to be an effort to block a major rebel drive now shaping up against Nam Dinh, the French headquarters for defense of the south Delta region, and the city which controls the mouth of the Red River. A full Communist division is known to be in the area, protected from bombing attacks by limestone caves in the nearby hills. Nam Dinh is about 45 miles below Hanoi and 18 below Phu Ly which was attacked last week by sizeable Communist forces. (A Communist Viet Viet Minh broadcast monitored in Hong Kong said French bombs fell less than a mile away from French Union wounded prisoners near Dien Bien Phu and warned that "thousands of wounded French expeditionary forces' are now being escorted along heavily-bombed highway 41.) French authorities announced that Communist coolies have begun repairing the Dien Bien Phu air strip so large ambulance planes can land, but Dr. Pierre Huard, chief French liaison offcier, said this did not mean Red acceptance of French proposals for wholesale movement of the prisoners. So far 183 wounded prisoners have been brought out 17 of them last night. Mundt told reporters ask Army Counsel Joseph to decide whether the Dien stand would allow the hand over transcripts of it made touching on the If not Mundt said he Welch to "take whatever you can" to get the Dem line with Republican name "It's up to him."
