The Communists, operating in the Chinese pattern of investing the countryside first, are not yet ready to take on the cities. Patient, painstaking organiza- tion and iron discipline have been keys to Viet Cong suc- cesses which 500,000 government troops, backed by 30,000 Ameri- cans with planes, helicopters and firepower, have been unable to reverse, PLAN FOR WEEKS So far, the Communists have not tried to seize con- trol of the big cities of South Viet Nam.

This system of three - man cells is important to Viet Cong organization. Each man of the three is responsible to and for the two others. He watches them, lives with them, eats with them, fights with them, even re- ports on their attitudes. The cell is like a set of inseparable trip- lets. The cells come together in battalion, regimental and even greater strength, to move on the final . objective. As the Viet Cong pins down more and more territory, units on the move be come bigger and bolder. Today there are larger Viet Cong con- centrations than ever before moving across the country all the way from the Cambodian border to the South China Sea. With them move heavy weap- ons, sometimes filtering past. the '|told Magistrate W. R.

REEDY LONDON (AP) Sixteen years ago Wednesday the Rus- sians lifted the Berlin blockade, beaten by the Allied airlift. The Wester world, deter- mined not to be caught off base again, pushed ahead with its new North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization, formed to stop the tide of communism in Europe. Today foreign ministers of the 15-nation NATO alliance met in London for their annual spring 'conference on_ policy.
