The landing force reported only feeble resistance was encountered from Vietminh forces near Tuyhoa but the columns advancing along the coastal road have run into several, fortified villages. , "At no time In the last 25 years have I seen more enthusiasm for the future,", declared George P.

' These four committees, reporting single examples from their own departments, reported in excess of $150,000 new money brought in last year, Vic Schoonover summarized.
