Newspaper Page TextReels Give Scorched Earth Treatment to Indo China By Robert C. Millar United Prow Correspondent Hung Yen, Indo-China, Mar. 31 (U.R) The governor came back to Hung Yen today and found that on the site of a once thriving city the communists left only mounds of rubble and hells of houses. Hung Yen has been given the "scorched earth" treatment, one of the ugliest by-products of the four-year-old Indo-China war. Vietnamese Governor Nguyen Huu Tri was administration for Hung Yen when it was a pros perous industrial center of 25, 000 lying in the heart of the Red river delta, 30 miles from Hanoi, In 1945 it was occupied by the communist-led Viet Minh rebels. Last December it was reoccu pied by the French. City in Name Only When Gov. Tri revisited it to day he found it a city in name only. He couldn't recognize any landmarks except a few churches and temples which had been left untouched. Everything that ' might possibly be of use to the French had been destroyed. As the French slowly ad vanced on Hung Yen the Viet Minh guerrillas pulled back, smashing everything in sight. The work took several months as the wrecking was done mostly by hand. Explosives were used only for the larger buildings. About 7.000 natives who re treated with the Viet Minh have returned. They freely admit they "scorched the earth." They say they did it as a protest against Vfrench occupation. They say the rebel chiefs told them they'd have to sacrifice their homes to show their loyal ty to the Viet Minh leader, Moscow-trained Ho Chi-minh. Shelling Heard As a large crowd welcomed Governor Tri into town, the sound of French troops shelling the rebels nearby could be heard. Some of the city elders told him only a minority in Hung Yen were communists or terror ists. All the people wanted, they said, was independence. The governor made a speech. He told a crowd of thousands they'd soon be free if they placed their faith in the French-backed Emperor Bao Dai. Most of the goateed city eld ers seemed to approve. But it was hard to tell the true feelings of some of the hot-headed youths who stood waiving Vietnamese flags as the governor spoke. Many most likely will be out tonight, distributing rebel propa ganda and gunning for the French in the hills. Hog Price Support To Die at Midnight Washington, Mar. 3 1 (U.R) For lack of price support money the government will let price supports for pork-on-the-hoof die at midnight tonight, an agricul ture department spokesman said today. The spokesman said Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Bran nan does not plan to set up a new program immediately to re place the expiring hog support commitment. That means hog farmers to mc;row will be without price support for the first time in eight years. Easier Seals May Be Purchased in City Mrs. C. B. Parteh, Jackson county chairman of this year's Easter Seal sale, said today that she has received phone calls from several Jackson county residents who have not received their Easter seals through the mail.
