Rebels Shell City In Indochina
Saigon, Indochina —(U.P).— Rebelious warlord troops aided by Communist deserters attacked a government-held city 58 miles southwest of Saigon with mortars at dawn today.
The early morning assault by troops of the dissident Hoa Hao Buddhist sect broke the tinderbox truce in Free Viet Nam and threatened a new outbreak of the in-and-out civil war.
The Buddhist warriors lobbed mortars into the city of Sadeck, wounding at least 20 persons, some of them gravely, in the first major breach of an Easter truce.
The U.S. embassy said President Eisenhower's special envoy, Gen. J. Lawton Collins, postponed indefinitely his planned April 20 departure for Washington.
The high command said the regular South Viet Nam army immediately launched a cleanup drive against the rebel troops led by Gen. Ba Cut whose mortars shelled Sa-deck's central district.
The wounded were evacuated to Saigon aboard a South Viet Nam-
Gen. Collins helped win the uneasy truce between American-backed Premier Ngo Dinh Diem and the religious sects who oppose him because of their own political ambitions.
Gen. Collins had been working closely with Gen. Paul Ely, the French high commissioner in Indochina, to end Viet Nam's crisis before the civil war could grow worse.
When the two men got the rebellious sects and the government to agree to a truce Gen, Collins prepared to leave as scheduled for Washington. But the worsening situation held him here.
U. S. embassy sources said he would stay now until the crisis has "been resolved." The sources believed this could be done within "several weeks."

Spring Weather Leaves 5 Dead
By UNITED PRESS
Pounding rains continued in the Southland today, but zooming temperatures melted blizzard snows in the West.
Three days of freakish, savage weather across the nation's southern half had left at least five persons dead and property damage estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
More persons were feared dead in the collapse of a 100-foot bridge over the flood-swollen Homochito river near Woodville, Miss., yesterday. At least three vehicles, and perhaps four, tumbled into the racing waters.
Natchez police chief S. C. Craft said "the water is too high and swift to get to the cars. We don't know how many people have died."
The vast spring storm started with blizzards in the northern plains which swept into Oklahoma and Texas. Choking dust storms then hit the Southwest, while tornadoes and record-breaking rains swept from Texas into Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi.
The Mobile downpour topped an 1874 record of 12.78 inches and prompted a pretty dentist's assistant, Kathy Fancher, to go work in a bathing suit. Meanwhile, boats were used in nearby rural areas to rescue flood-trapped families.
The savage squall line ripped Mobile, Ala., with a tree-toppling twister and drowned the Gulf city in 13.30 inches of rain in less than eight hours yesterday.
Other twisters hit the Alabama tri-cities area of Florence, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia. Three persons were injured, roots were torn off, and 30 homes and three downtown Sheffield buildings were destroyed.
The storm spread farther east across Dixie and took the form of a pea-soup fog along the Atlantic coast. A seaman was killed and another was injured when t two freighters collided in a fogbank on the North Carolina capes. The fog was also blamed for a fatal traffic accident.

Heavy rains continued in the Southeast and Central Atlantic
The weather may have also produced a mystery at Lumberton, where puzzled authorities tried to figure out what happened to a disappearing barn.
The 20-foot square tobacco barn "simply disappeared in a sort of explosion" last night and there was speculation that a freak tornado might have whisked it away.
In the West, meanwhile, the damage of a freak April blizzard could not yet be estimated because communications to many Texas communities were still out.
a bright sun and warming temperatures melted eight-foot snowdrifts today. Roads in Southeast Wyoming and Northeast Colorado were open to motorists who were willing to travel at a crawl and snow-clogged roads in Texas and New Mexico were expected to become open today.
