ed representatives at Wednes
day meeting at Eugene Field

Rebel Patrols
Make First Stab
HANOI, Indochina, ffl Rebel
Vietminh patrols made their first
stab Friday into the outer defenses
of iDen Bien Phu, the last big
French fortress stronghold in
northwestern Indochina.
The French said only a battalion
or less of the estimated 40,000
Communist led Vietminh in the
area were involved in the initial
penetration. There was no indica
tion whether they were the van
guard of the long-expected Viet
minh assault on the heavily for
tified position.
The French blasted away with
105 millimeter guns at the Viet
minh invaders of the fortified
plain six miles long and four miles
wide. Its fall would give the rebels
a new avenue of approach into
the kingdom of Laos.
A French army spokesman said
the Vietminh was steadily tight
ening its encircling movement
around Dicn Bien Phu. In addition
to the artillery barrage centered
against the most forward rebel pa
trols French fighter bombers
plastered troop concentrations in
the entire area.

also advocated continued federal
construction of dams in the north
west.
Newbry told the Eugene Real
Estate Board that Oregon voters
had turned down the sales tax five
times but that the state now has
the highest income tax rate in the
United States. He suggesed ha
other sources of tax revenue
should be studied so that indus
tries would not be driven out of
the state.
By Implication, he criticized the
suggestion for a series of low
dams on the Snake river. He said
that within the next couple of gen
erations. The most important
lunction ot dams in the Columbia
Basin would be irrigation and that
high dams were better suited for
this purpose.
Newbry advocated construction
in the near future of the proposed
John Day dam. Besides producing
power and navigation, it also
would provide irrigation, he said.
Newbry said that the federal
government should build the dams
but when those dams have paid
for themselves, they should be
turned over to the states.
Newbry told the real estate men,
"this is the first talk I have made
that can be called a campaign
talk."
Newbry Gets
Sober Warning J
PORTLAND Wl - The Newbry-for-governor
campaign opened in
Portland .Thursday night, but in
stead of the usual optimistic
speeches there was a sober warn
ing from Earl Riley, former Port
land mayor. , - ,
He advised Secretary of Stale
Newbry and his campaigners that
Portland and the rest of Multnom
ah County would give Newbry his
greatest opposition. The county has
about a third of the state's voters.
Riley told the Newbry workers
that to win they would have to get
enough support in the rest of the
state to overcome Multnomah
County opposition.
Newbry, who will oppose Gov.
Paul Patterson for the Republican
nomination in the May primary,
made no comment on this in a
brief talk.

Dog Couldn't Leave
Man Out, Cold Night
WHITEFISH, Mont. uB-The dog
decided he couldn't leave a man
out on a night lute that.
So Peter Pan. a huge St. Ber
nard, shared his home with the
hitchhiking stranger overnight. Or
dinarily he won't let anyone out
side his master's family come near
his king-size kennel. -
But when the stranded stranger
who refused to give his name
couldn't raise anyone at the home
of George Robertson, he crawled
in with Peter Pan. He kept warm
by cuddling up to the 100-pound an
imal. . .
When Robertson looked out his

Col. Crombez
Now in Korea
Col. Marcel G. Cdombez, former
senior Army advisor for the Ore
gon National Guard and former
acting chief of the Oregon Mili
tary District, is now in Korea as
the American Army advisor to the
Korean lieutenant general, who
is the commandant of the Korean
Army school that is the equivalent
of the U.S. Military Academy.'
This word was received by some
of the members of the .Oregon
National Guard recently.
Crombez, who was the speaker
for the Salem Memorial day serv
ices in 1953, came to Oregon as
senior Army advisor in the fall
of 1951 and left the position about
two years later. He is a graduate
of West Point and of the staff of
ficers course at the Naval War
College. ; ' 1 '
This will be' the third time that
Crombez has been on duty in Ko
rea.' He was there on occupation
duty, remaining there until in 1948
when the troops were withdrawn
and then returned after the Korean
war started. During the war he
was a regimental commander.
During World War II he also saw
ovcresas duty, spending some of
that time with the 104th infantry
division. .
Treasury
The package deal was obviously
aimed- at achievt.'' a number of
objectives, among them: -
1. Converting some short term
debt and some long term bonds
that have only a little while to run,
into longer term debt.
2. Reducing the number of gov
ernment securities on the market.
and, in that way, cutting down the
number of times the treasury must
refinance maturing securities.
3. Taking advantage of present
low interest rates to do a lot of
refinancing. The implication was
that the treasury may think inter
est rates will be rising later this
year.
Humphrey also announced that
consideration is being given to the
cash sale of a new, long term bond
later this year.
