Jeered
By PRESTON GROVER
PARIS UTi Parisians jeered
Premier Joseph Laniel and De
fence Minister Rene Pleven Satur
day during an Armistice Day ob
servance held while French Union
soldiers were being led away to
prison stockades from Dien Bien
Phu.
Stones were hurled into Commu
nist offices in Paris and firebombs
into the plant of a Communist news
paper at Nice.
It reflected the bitterness many
Frenchmen felt at the new defeat
in a faraway war they have long
learned to hate and whose mistakes
they were seeking to lay at the
door of the nearest one who could
be held responsible.
Police lined the Champs Elysees
from end to end Saturday morning
long before the officials and col
umns of veterans made the tradi
tional march to the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at the Arch of
Triumph marking the ninth anni
versary of the surrender of the
Germans in the ceremony at
Rheims May 7, 1945.
Mild Applaase
President Rene Coty got a mild
burst of applause as he made his
automobile pilgrimage to the
tomb.
But when Laniel and Pleven
drove by the limited number of on
lookers along the street hissed and
hooted.
'"Send him to Dien Bien Phu!"
they shouted at Laniel. Others
cried "Shoot him!"
Pleven drew angry outbursts of
"Resign, resign" and "Shame on
him."
Trouble Before
It was the second time Laniel
and Pleven had run into trouble
at the Arch of Triumph.
Only a few weeks ago, after they
dismissed Marshal Alphonse Juin
from his advisory military func
tions for insubordination, Laniel
was kicked and Pleven was slapped
and had his hair pulled by a small
band of demonstrators.
Rite of Silence
The Cabinet ministers had come
to the tomb for a ceremony of
silence during the early defense of
the ill-fated fortress in Indochina.
But the limited number of police
around Saturday was only a frac
tion of the number to be called out
Sunday for a solemn ride by Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, who himself will
silently salute France's Unknown
Soldier at the arch.
His followers expect De Gaulle's
appearance will result in a resur
gence of opposition to the European
army plan, which he opposes, and
which the present Laniel govern
ment is pushing toward a vote on
ratification. - .
Police- were" called "back- "from
leave and the full force of Paris
peace officers was expected to line
all approaches to the streets.
There were some who thought
the Communists might try to pro
voke a demonstration by the De
Gaullist followers who have been
Invited to gather around the great
circular plaza at the arch.

U.S. Rejected
Asylum for
MIG Designer
NEW YORK A refugee air
craft expert said Saturday designs
for the famed MIG 15 jet fighter
were lost to the West in 1946 when
American military authorities re
fused to grant asylum to its Germ
an designer.
The swift, deadly MIG 15 was one
of the most effective weapons used
by the Communists in Korea. The
United States finally obtained its
secrets last year by paying $100,-
000 to a defecting North Korean
pilot.
Saturday's statement on the
plane was made by Valentin Soko
low, 41, who was identified before
the House Committee on Commu
nist Aggression as a high-ranking
Soviet aircraft expert before his
defection in 1946.
Sokolow told the committee the
MIG 15 was designed by Prof. Seig
friend Guenther. former head of
the Henkel aircraft plant which
built crack fighters and bombers
for Nazi Germany.
Sokolow said he drove Guenther
and a German gir! to West Germ
any in an attempt to surrender in
1946 but he was accused by Amer
ican Military Police of being a spy.
After three days of questioning
by American and British officials,
he said he and the girl were per
mitted to remain in the American
sector. But he said he was
convinced that Guenther was re
turned to the Russians.
Rep. Charles J. Kersten R-Wis
chairman of the comrnittee, said
after Sokolow's testimony that an
effort would be made to learn the
identities of military police officers
involved.
"This is a great tragedy, if true."
commented Kersten after the com
mittee voted to pursue the mater
further

20-Day Nightmare
"My feet are still numb." Rams
dell murmured sleepily from the
cozy warmth of a hospital bed as
he recalled his last six days with
out food on the mastless, helplessly
drifting craft.
The Medford, Mass., electric
company executive dropped from
a 160 to 120 pounds during his epic
trip but Portsmouth hospital offi
cials said be was in good condition
except for exhaustion and malnu
trition. Ramsdell gave this account of his
voyage that began with "a Sunday
sail" April 18 to try out his newly
acquired 22-foot sloop, Kickapoo:
After leaving Essex, Mass., har
bor, Ramidell said everything was
going so well he thought he might
as well keep on sailing and headed
for Nova Scotia.
Ran Into Gale
Twenty miles north of Portland,
Maine, and 75 miles off shore,
Ramsdell ran into a gale that
snapped a rope supporting the
mast. He unstepped the 25-foot
mast to repair the halyard and
then found he didn't have the
strength to put up the mast.
Ramsdell rigged a temporary
mast six feet high and attached the
spinnaker sail but it was insuffi
cient to give it enough speed to
steer.
The Kickapoo was "drifting like
a son of a gun" and taking water
as she wallowed sideways in the
rough seas.
Ramsdell said he had only a
pocket compass to guide him and
tried to keep the boat heading
westward toward land.
Ran Out of Food
For food he said he started out
with "10 gallons of water, 12 boxes
of graham crackers, some biscuits
and a couple of boxes of raisins."
When he ran out of food, he tried
fishing but "I didn't get even a
nibble."
Several times in the days and
nights of helplessness, Ramsdell
sighted fishing trawlers but none
spotted his tiny, storm-tossed craft
or noticed his frantic signals with
a whistle and bulls eye lantern.
Asked if he prayed for help,
Ramsdell told a newsmen, "No, I
did what had to be done and then
sat in the bottom of the boat and
bailed."
Finally, shortly after daylight
Saturday morning-ron the 20th day
a lobster fisherman. Dana Knight
of Kittery, Maine, heard the feeble
whistle call from the exhausted
Ramsdell. Knight radioed the Coast
Guard station here to pick up the
helpless craft.
Ramsdell said later from his hos
pital bed:
"When I saw the fishing boat
pull alongside, I thought for a min
ute I was seeing things. But when
I heard the fisherman sing out to
me. I knew it was the real thing.
"I was too weak to cry."

tion have been added to a draft
