Reels 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.
Anyone who wishes to pur
chase Easter seals and has not
been given the opportunity to do
so, may secure the seals Dy

To Remain in School

at Salem high school petitioned
Marion county circuit court
Thursday to stay in school while
their attorneys appeal their case
against suspension to the Oregon

longed to a secret society, for
bidden under state law. The boys
and their parents contended that
the group they belonged to was
not secret. The boys called it
the "American Boys' club." but
the school board contended it
was an affiliate of a Portland
society known as the Alpha Beta
Chi.
Last week Circuit Judge Dal
M. King of Coos county, who
came here to hear the boys' suit
against the school board for rein
statement, held that the students
belonged to a secret society and
upheld the school board in its
action. He also ordered dissolved
the temporary injunction which
had enabled the boys to stay in
school.
Experts Warn About
Danger to Chicks
With the seasonal peak for
taking on baby chicks approach
ing, the state department of agri

chick buyers to the importance
of taking precautions to protect
their purchase against any pos

M. E. Knickerbocker, chief of
the division of animal industry,
said that 51 cases of newcastle
have been officially diagnosed
in Oregon in the three years
since the disease was first re

been diagnosed since February

the corner, the danger from the
disease could become real.
