French authorities did not pinpoint the Keels latest suc cess, but it was indicated that the Communists took the West ern outpost nicknamed "Hu guette," the fourth to fall since Saturday.

The fanatical Indochinese Communists hit Dien Bien Phu's western flank after early morning rebel attacks on two eastern strongpoints failed. A EVYS blackout covered the rebel advance on De Cas tries' nerve center, but officials said the Communists were closer than the 50-yard point reached last Sunday in suicide assaults. An announcement that the Red Indochinese delegation to the Geneva conference had passed through Moscow appar ently triggered the assault. The Reds swarmed out of the trenches with automatic rifles, bayonets and knives and struck at the Eastern outposts of "Dominique" and "Elaine," but French machine jpmners cut down the first waves. Another force then attacked the Western flank in a bone-chilling rain that prevented French planes from coming to the aid of Dien Bien Phu's defenders.

French authorities described the assaults as "massive." TIIE COMMUNISTS opened their assault after Red artillerymen had saturated Dien Bien's Phu's shrunken defenses with heavy mortar fire. The artillery attack came as the defenders defiantly spurned a demand to surrender. The French high command reported also that Rebel units were observed regrouping East of Muong Khoua, 35 miles Southwest of Dien Bien I'hti, apparently In an attempt to prevent a 3,000 man French Union column from coming to the aid of the garrison. The column, under the command of French Col. Jean de Crevecoeur captured Muong Khoua last week and elements have mopped up Red pockets of resistance only 20 miles West of Dien Bien Phu.

Faced with threatened year-long legal delay here, the Ohio Turnpike Commission today prepared to dump turnpike traffic into Elyria by way of Rts. 20-and 57 until the 241-mile road can be completed as scheduled. Teams of turnpike engineers began first-stage surveys for the construction of temporary, but heavy-duty three-lane links which will pour some 6,000 aiitos and heavy trucks Into Elyria daily.

Meanwhile, Elyria's special counsel, Cleveland Atty. Robert Shoup, and City Solicitor Ric hard Baird planned a strategy meeting tonight to map new counter moves to the commission's latest action. Land condemnation suits against Elyria for two city-owned land parcels vitally needed by the commission for a pike bridge over the Black River have been set down in Common Pleas Court here for May 11. Shoup and Baird have promised to ask an injunction, but must first have councils permission. ANTICIPATING the injunction, but determined to open the turnpike on its scheduled Oct.

1, 1955, completion date, pike officials Monday picked out points outside Elyria's city limits at which the turnpike will tie into Rt. 20 on the East and Rt. 57 on the Northwest. Involved In the costly construction will be the addition of toll facilities and truck weighing equipment at the Rt. 20 end.

From that end turnpike trav-elers will have to drive through downtown Elyria traffie to reach the lit. 57 Interchange connection northwest of the city. Downtown traffie routes are heavily clogged, can now be used only by a complex system of detour routing. Mayor Grant Keys already has talked about state route bypasses around town as a condition of "cooperation" with the commission. Wilson To Visit TAIPEII, Formosa V-The U.

Bryan, balked at McCarthy's suggestion. 4 IT IS HENSEL'S position, Bryan stated, "that there is nothing to those charges," and that they are not collateral to the issues. Withdrawal of the charges "without a statement from Sen. McCarthy that he is in error Is not acceptable to him," Bryan said in behalf of Hensel.

McCarthy reported the charges were "not in error," and he would agree to withdrawal of the Hensel charges only if they are considered separately. Mundt said those portions of the charges against Hensel in volving his "guilt or Innocence" in connection with organization of a Navy supply firm in 19-14 were "not properly before the committee." There will be "no full-scale Investigation of the transactions in 1944," he stated. MCCARTHY'S "bill of particulars" in the present controversy asserts that Hensel prof- V.1 urnlck a Wotm I innorrmont 111111 ii jtii inn in procurement official during World War II. The bill of particulars contends further that Hensel masterminded an Army report making accusations against McCarthy and his staff, and attributes to Hensel the motive of averting an investigation by McCarthy of Hensel's World War II activities. Hensel denied McCarthy's charges entirely.

He said further that the Internal Revenue Service had been over all details of the business which McCarthy questioned, and had found nothing against him.

"I just hit it right," she said. Minutes later the truck cab let go and crashed in flames on the ground below the bridge. THE PULITZER award cites two pictures the rescue shot and a follow-up of the cab after it crashed. Mrs. Schau said only the first picture was hers and a spokesman for Columbia University later announced: "It now appears this (the second picture) was taken by another photographer.

Mrs. Schau's was the key picture of this rescue and, in the judgment of the advisory board, it was the outstanding picture of 1953." The award was worth 51,000 to Mrs. Schau. Iovn' GILMORE i 4-11. i 1 with Chou and after a round of greetings, drove off in the Chinese diplomat's limousine.

The Indochina parley is expected to get under way either tomorrow or Thursday. Other members of the Viet-minh delegation were Phan Anh, minister of industry and commerce; Hoang Van Hoan, Vietminh ambassador to Pei-ping; Ta Quant Buu, deputy defense minister, and Tran Cone Tuong, deputy justice minister. THE DELEGATION leader in his arrival statement called for "reestablishment of peace in Indochina on the basis of recognition of the national rights of the peoples of Khmer (Cambodia) and Pathet Lao (Laos)." Representatives of the Asso ciated States of Indochina-Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia- were still in Paris. But they can get here in little more than an hour by plane once a starting time for the talks is set. These delegations together with representatives of the Big Four and Red China will make up the conference which will seek to end the bitter jungle fighting In Indochina.

O'Brien of Notre Dame University told the Indianapolis Council of Women: "Drinking is the predominant factor in 30 per cent of marriage failures, while Inlaw trouble can be blamed for only 7 per tent." He added that infidelity ranks next to the bottle in splitting husband and wife. The nationally known author and marriage counselor related the findings of a recent study of 5,000 broken marriages. FR. O'BRIEN ranked the other factors in order as: Irresponsibility, radical un-congeniality, in-law trouble, sex maladjustments, mental illness, religious differences and financial difficulties.

4 I HEADBOARD and METAL FRAME Lr r- rk -r'-r'na I The source reporting the pro- Jected Allied proposal on Korea said It would be a "very dim-cult thing" for Russia, Red China and North Korea to turn it down. The Communist reaction to the Allied proposal, the source added, would determine whether there is any real chance of unifying the divided country and holding free elections there. Since its beginning, the Korean phase of the Far Eastern conference has been stalemated by each side's insistence on its own plan for unification. South Korea and her 15 allies here at the conference insist on UN supervision of voting; the Communists demand that all foreign troops get out and elections be held on a basis the West is certain would assure a Communist victory. THE DELEGATION of Indo-Chinese rebels, headed by graying deputy Premier-Foreign Minister Pham Van Dong, was met at the airport by an impressive array of Communist dignitaries.

Among those on hand to greet them were Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, Red China's Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En Lai, and North Korean Foreign Minister Nam II. In statement after he stepped from the plane, Van Dong said the Vletminh delegation was "disposed to continue all Its efforts toward peaceful solution of the Indochina question."
