A French spokesman here said the end of Dien Bien Phu after a magnificent resistance sgainst a vastly outsumbering a Vietminh victory because of the greatly increased war aid given to the Vietminh (from neighboring China to the north).” Reliable sources said the Viet- minh used a new Russian weapon during the last hours of the battle. They are called “Stalin Organs,” consisting of a series of 25 to 30 rockets fired ome after another. The roekets burst when they hit the ground. A French officer who had séen their effect in korea said they were very destructive. Even at the start of the Dien Bien Phu battle, the French were surprised to find the Vietminh— normally poor on artillery in the past—heavily equipped with big cannon, 105mm. rifles and 120mm. mortars. The great surprise was not only at the number of these weapons, but the new uncanny ac- THE KY West ciTizéN FRANCE MOURNS (Continued ftom Page One) south of De Castries’ headquarters bunkers. ff was not known what happened to the hundreds of wounded lying in dank dugouts in the heart of the fortress.

This led some sources to be- lieve the Chinese Communists were participating directly. But official sources said there was no evi- dence that Red China troops ac- tually were in Indochina.

MOTHER IS WELCOMED (Continued from Page One) son’s remark, “Now, Mom, don’t Pose.” E After a few minutes, Mrs. Gra- ham stepped forward and presented Mrs. Sackler with a beautiful arm of red roses. Then Mayor Harvey welcomed her on behalf of the City of Key West, and gave her a gold key to the city. “Mom's” eyes were a little mis- ty at this point as she said, “I never expected so many people to meét me, but I’m so glad that in an effort to get “a progressive rau free of machine poli- es.” He said he was ‘‘disappointed” in the big Notth Florida vote for Johns but added he felt it was because “quite a few people were sold a bill of goods that the acting governor was stronger than he actually was.” Later Collins appeared. on Station WITV in Hallandale and said he hoped the people would realize the “tremendous importance” of a heavy vote on May 25. “The machine politicians will get their vote out,” he added. He said he was proud of the heavy vote he received in populous South Florida and attributed it to “the faet that the people here are progressive by nature.” Collins said he felt his popularity in this area was due to his pledge to seek constitutional revision ‘‘to end the discrimination against this part of the state in the distribution of road money” and to get the largér counties of the state a more fair representation in the Legisla- ture. Meanwhile, Johns said that Bob Bond of Miami, whom he identified as a member of Odham’s cam- paign travel party, would support him and travel with him during the. second primary campaiga. “T feel that I'll get 75 per cent of the Odham votes in the second Primary because they are the same type of people who supported me,” he said. “T am. inviting all those who voted for Odham to join me. And they will sit at the head table. There is no second table in the Charley Johns’ campaign.” Johns said he expects to inject some new issues into the runoff but he did not elaborate. However, roads, oil and state tax commis- sion will continue to be among his principal talking points, he said. “One of the basic questions is whether the people want Dick Simpson and his do nothing road board or the progressive road building program the Charley Johns board,” he said, During the first primary cam- paign, Joins émphasized the 100 million dollar road and bridge building program budgeted by his road board and met opposition con- tentions he was promising more roads than there was money to Pay for with the declaration “We ean and will carry out this pro- gram.” He took a stand against further expansion of the Everglades Na- tional Park, contending the Ever- glades area should be left open for oil exploration. He also ex- Pressed opposition to creation of a state tax commission, arguing it would “nullify homestead exemp- tion” by increasing the assessment throughout the various counties. Bridge Painted I could come.” She was introduced to the USO committee. and representatives of civie organizations who had gath- ered at the. airport to honor her. As the Chapmans and Mrs. Sackler drove away in a Navy car, Marvin said, “Relax, mam,” | and she reached over and gave her daughter-in-law a tender little pat on her cheek. Winning Letter Marvin Chapman’s letter to his mother, written on April 22, said: “Dearest Mother, “T hope this letter finds you well. I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you. “In a few days we'll be cele- brating the day that they have set aside for you, Mom, and I’m glad that someone had the wisdom to declare such a day, because you deserve it after all your years of hard work. It might have been easier if we had had more money, but I’m grateful and thankful that you worked so hard for us during the years before we were able to earn our own way and help you along. I’ve always felt that I owe you more than I'll ever be able to fepay, and I believe a lot of sons feel that way. “The weather is cool at present but I believe it will be nice for your day. “Please give my love to the rest of the family, and Mom, hap- py Mother’s Day!
