Miller United Preu Correspondent With French Forces in the Mekong River Delta, Indo-China, Mar. 16 UJ.R) This battle in the Mekong river delta is the South Pacific war all over again, with the same equipment, the same heat, the same green hell. I went along on a dawn am phibious attack against an esti mated 300 Vietminh rebels hold ing an island in this great delta. Luzier's Personalized Cosmetics PHONE 2-9277 . American veterans of the Pacific would have recognized every thing except the language, which was French. This is the French fight against the communist-led guer rillas of Ho Chi-l.Iinh. Pincers Movement The operation by French and native troops was a pincers movement, with attempted land ings on opposite sides of the four-mile-wide Bassac Island sup ported by aerial reconnaissance and naval fire. i Troops boared the same land ing craft and barges on which thousands of Americans made similar excursions. There was that familiar mugginess of the tropical dawn and throbbing of diesels as the barges moved down river. Your LCI noses cautiously through three miles of jungle bordered canal and you have the feeling that every move of the invasion flotilla is being watched. This is Vietminh terri tory, and their ambushes have blocked the canal, which the SO'OO'O DELICIOUS FOR LENT! Borden's cottage aee$e FRUIT SALAD!

The area apparently was a guerrilla bivouac. It is pitted with trenches and foxholes. Now it is deserted and the landings are unopposed. Sends Out Scouts You attach yourself to a squad of black-shirted Cambodian na tives in short pants, commanded by tall, bereted Master Sgt. C. Chesmais of Boulogne. Chesmais forms a point, sends out bare footed scouts, and starts inland. Within an hour the squad is dripping wet, partly from strug gling through knee-deep swamps but mostly from the pressure cooker heat that steams out of the ground as the sun gets higher. Once you flop in the shade for five minutes but get up covered with stinging ants. Hour after hour the squad pushes through the swamps and you pity the machine gunners and mortarmen with those heavy pieces. There is no sign of guerrillas. The squad returns to the beach head. There is a lengthy exchange of rifle and machinegun fire from the interior, and through your binoculars you see tiny figures maneuvering and shoot ing into a banana grove on the far side of the swamp a mile and a half away. A puff of blue grey smoke sprouts from the grove and the crack of bursting artillery shells drifts across the heat-drenched delta. Guerrillas Withdrew Army Commander J. Finck of Paris radios that he has engaged some rebels inside a fortified village. The guerrillas withdrew when subjected to artillery fire. Now he is going to burn their fortifications. French officers explain that village-burning is done only in extreme cases such as this, when troops are fired on from the vil lages. You sit on a log first mak ing sure it is antless and watch the distant clouds of heavy smoke as the village goes up in flames. A philosopher could write eloquently about that smoke, using it as a sjanbol of all wars and the misery' and suffering ac companying them. GOOD IDEA Seattle.
