House Group Changes Stand On Physicians Votes To Exclude - Medics From Age Insurance Coverage By UNITED PRESS ' The house ways and means committee reversed a previous decision today and voted to exclude physicians, policemen and firemen from federal old age insurance coverage. The action was taken as the committee neared final approval of legislation requested by President Eisenhower to add about 10 million persons to social security rolls and increase benefits by $5 to $23.50 a month. Bowing to the pleas of the American Medical Assn., the committee voted 15-10 to reverse an earlier tentative decision to include the 'nation’s 150,000 physicians on a compulsory basis. But it left dentists covered by the bill. On a separate vote of 22-2, the committee struck out another clause It had adopted previously to let 270.000 policemen and firemen come under social security on a voluntary basis. Other late news: Veterans: The house veterans committee approved a 10 percent * across-the-board increase—in monthly government checks to ‘ veterans who suffered injury or ' ailment in military seHlßpe. The increase also applies to widows and orphans of men who died from service wounds or disease. Wrangle: Republican chairman B. Carroll Reece (Tenn.) and Democratic Rep. Wayne L. Hays (Ohio) engaged in a nose-to-nose shouting match at a stormy public hearing of a special house| committee investigating tax-exempt foundations. Hays accused Reece of “double-crossing” Democratic members on procedure and of attempting “character assassinstion” of Sen- Paul H. Douglas CDIll.). Reece denied all. Beer and Baseball: Brewer “"August A. Busch Jr. told a senate monopoly subcommittee he bought the St. Louis Cardinals because it was the “only means know'h” to keep the club in St. Louis. He denied charges by Sen. Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.) that his brewing firm. Anheuser-Busch. Inc., gets tax benefits from the Cardinal's operating losses, and also denied he is club to promote a beer monopoly. Casualty: Rep. Kenneth A. Roberts (D-Ala ), one of the five 3 congressmen wounded by "Pnertrf Rican assassins March 1, returned to the house floor in a wheel chair and got a big ovation. Roberts, who was shot in the left knee, was the.,last of the stricken lawmakers to return to the floor. He previously had attended some committee meetings. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

French Troops Step Up Raids On Red Bases Ground Operations Focused On Rebel Bases In Indochina HANOI, Indochina, UP—French Union troops stepped up attacks today on bases used by Communist rebels for raids on the vital railread and highway linking Hanoi and the port of Haiphong. The French high command announced also that bombers and strafers were holding tour Red divisions at bay on the road from Dien Bien Phu to Hanoi. Ground'-operations were focused on rebel bases northeast of Hal Duong, a community along the main road from Haiphong, the port where most American - furnished supplies are receivedThe high command said losses were inflicted on the Communists, bqt gave no details on the extent of operations. Several rebel bases also were reported under fire south of Phu Ly. 35 miles south of Hanoi, and southwest of Thai Binh. "-SW command spokesmah mra the French-held post at Yen Cu in the Phu Ly-Thai Binh sector was holding out under day-and-night rebel attacks. American-built Bearcat fighters and Privateer bombers were carrying out around-the-eloek attacks i on the road from Dien Bien Phu | to Hanoi. The relentless air war against the rebels blunted the march on Hanoi of the divisions which took Dien Bien Phu and which were r .oving up ip an effort to tighten Communist pressure .on Indochina's rice bowl. T.he struggle with the Reds failed to interfere, however, with the mercy airlift of wounded veterans of the Dien Bien Phu fighting.

More than 500,000 servicemen, American government employes and their families in Europe were told this morning to exchange their “scrip" dollars by noon. At 12:01 p.m. all the old money became as worthless as Confederate bills. Post exchange shops and cafeterias were ghostly quiet because no one had any money to spend. In Hong Kong, Where scrip had served as an international currency and money changers held an estimated SIOO,OOO worth, all sailors and officers were ordered back to U. S. navy ships immediately. All shore leaves were cancelled. Finance officers said this was the “fifth or sixth” U.S. military money conversion since the war. The last occurred June 22, 1951. Howls of protest were expected from thousands of soldiers, airmen aad..officiai ;eivUiami-on vacation who prbbably failed to make the deadline. The currency conversion was put into effect in all foreign countries whore military money is used for purchases in U. 3. military stores, army financial officers said. The currency change was one of the, best-kept military secrets since the war and was revealed only at dawn today when the Armed Forces Radio made an official announcement. , - >, Name Os Mother ls f Listed Incorrectly In the list of survivors of Andrew J.

"Angel" Os Indochina Fort Describes Ordeal

HANOI, Indochina UP — The “Angel of Dfen Bien Phu,” nurse Genevieve de Galard - Terraube, told today how she turned down Communist offers of special treatment and comforts, after the Indochina fortress fell, to stay with the wounded in their unlighted underground hospital. She described her ordeal in the isolated and doomed fortress to a press conference in pryud but simple terms. For three days, site said, the underground hospital was in total darkness while the Reds prepared to bring the suffering wounded out to a makeshift city of tents, hastily made from parachute cloth. She said she was offered immediate assignment to a tent with Communist Viet Minh nurses and medical students. Wanted to Comfort Wounded “But I preferred to stay with my wounded,” she said. “I told them (the Communists) I wanted to care for them as best I could until they could be evacuated from Dien Bien Phu." In a faltering voice she added; “Actually I could not do much but smile at them.” She appeared refreshed by a sound night's sleep and a visit to a Hanoi beauty parlor. The nurse, who was the only woman in Dien 1 Bien Pbu through its terrible siege and fall, said she was blinded by the daylight when she walked into the open for the first time after the Communists had conquered the heroic defenders . bf the fort.’ r Promised Good Treatment She said the Reds knew, before they found her in ths rubble of . the shell-battered bastion, that there was a woman in Dien Bien Phu. They had announced, before sbe was captured, that she would i receive good treatment, she said. Monday, after her release, she , began at once on "the hours of work” which will be necessary to write letters for the men she had finally left behind on the steaming damp cots and mats in the ruins of Dien Bien Phu. 1 During the final days of the bitter fighting, she said, she crouched ' with the wounded in the hot shelters, listening to the sound of battle raging above. i , Knew When Battle Was Lost All of them, she said, knew that the fortress was lost when the i clash of battle moved south from i the_main_ 4 coinpjmid post toward isolated bastion “Isabelle,” the last French stronghold to fall. She said that at all times be- , tween the day Dien Bien Phu fell, i. 4m s.ay 7. and. the time she flew , to Luang Prabang she had been given every opportunity to aid and comfort the French Union wouhded. ; Dien Bien Phu fell on a Friday. • On the following Sunday morning two rebel women entered Genevieve’s tent. One wore the emblem > of the Communist Red fross. The , other was dressed in a flowing gown on which appeared a portrait [ of the late Josef Stalin. I

Ordered To Hanoi Shortly before the women arrived, the 29-year-old heroine of Dien Bien Phu received a letter from her chief, North Front Air Commander Gen. Jean Dechaua, ordering her to Hanoi. In a rare act of mercy, the Reds, under instructions from Red Chieftain Ho Chlh Minh, had promised the French to free her but she remained behind voluntarily until receiving the direct order. The woman in the long gpyu told Genevieve she was president of the Communist Viet Minh Union of Women, which had petitioned Ho for the brave nurse’s release. Both rebel women attempted to propagandise Genevieve as they escorted her to the airstrip tor her flight to Luang Prabang. “The imperialist war is a lost war,” they told her. "Our troops are at the gates of Hanoi. We ere the army of the people." Ferdinand T. Wiseley ’ Dies In California Word has been received here of the death May 7 in Pittsburgh, Calif., of Ferdinand T.
