CAULIFLOWER GROWS BIG in Douglas County os evidenced by this huge head held
by Don Smith, of 1537 SE Pine St., produce truck driver for Pacific Fruit Co., and
admired by Anita Eden of the News-Review news staff. The head, weighing 15 pounds,
leaves and all, was grown on the farm of Ray Brozzi in the Winston - Dillard district.
It is from the March-April winter cauliflower crop and was found in a first picking
of the patch. Douglas County grows some of the best cauliflower in the state, and is
staging a comeback with the crop after several years of limited planting. (News

As Laos Civil War Trend
Weakens Efforts Of U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The tide
of civil war in Laos is beginning to

efforts to unify and neutralize that
Southeast Asian country.
Worried Kennedy administration
officials are now trying to figure

a much stronger position than it
has so far in trying to bring the
civil war under control, responsible
authorities say.
One possible action under consid
eration is to give the Soviet govern-
ment a new warning of the serious-
ness of American intentions not to ,
settle for anything less than a neu
tralized Laos.
The worsening of the situation
in Laos, as evaluated in official
quarters here, is due to a heavy in
flow of Soviet weapons and Com
munist military technicians trom
North Vict Nam.
A Soviet airlift to the rebels in
the northern and eastern parts of
the country has been delivering
tons of weapons and ammunition in
cluding artillery fur almost three
months.
This buildup for an estimated
force of 2,000 Communist and pro
Communist troops, officials here
said, has given the Reds a slight
edge in military resources over the
royal Laos army operating under
the government of Premier Boun
Oum.
The Reds have taken posses
sion of about a third of the coun
try. It is in the sense of increased
military power and extensive ter
ritorial control that the situation is
beginning to go against American
aims.
It has gone badly in another re
spect. A regime has been estab
lished at Xieng Khouang in the
name of the former neutralist pre
mier Souvanna Phouma.

The measure provides for 14
more judges than President Ken

lays in handling federal court cas
es. It would create 63 new district
court judgeships and add 10 judges
to circuit courts of appeal.
The Senate passed the bill Fri
day by voice vote after rejecting
a Republican motion to defer ac
tion until March 16, two days after
the Judicial Conference meets here
to make recommendations on the
needs of the judiciary.
Kennedy asked Congress to cre
ate 59 new federal judgeships, as
recommended by the Judicial
Conference last September, and in
cluded the legislation on a list of 16
priority measures.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
lipped the total to 69 by providing
for 10 more district judges three
in California, and one earh in Ar
kansas, Missouri, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas
and Washington State.
Then the Senate amended the
committee hill to provide for still
more judges two for Indiana, one
for Vermont and one for the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals, serving
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela
ware and the Virgin Islands.
Federal judges, appointed by the
President for life with the approval
or the Senate, are pain a minimum

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The
storv of two cold war heroes,
Capts. John R. McKone and Free
man B. Olmstead, raised new
questions today about the fate of
three fellow crewmen missing
since their RB47 reconnaissanre
bomber was shot down by the So
viets last July 1.
Answering questions publicly
for the first time since their re
turn from a Soviet prison, the two
Air Force oflicers calmly told
about the brief air battle that
heightened international tension
for months.
McKone, 28, and Olmstead, 25,
revealed that the RB47, previous
ly described as unarmed, had two
20-millimcter cannons in tho tail
and that the returned the fire of
the Soviet MIG jet fishter that
sent the RB47 down in flames.
Whether the RB47 was un
armed remained in the realm of
Air Force semantics, hut many
real mysteries about the mission
remained unsolved. McKone and
Olmstead skirted salient ques
tions about the object of the mis
sion, what happened to three
mb,r, nf the "ere, and what
information they gave the So-
viets.

including 11 Muslim leaders,
were transferred to Soledad Pris
on in what officials called a se
curity move to break tension at
this maximum security facility.
Warden Heinze traced the
flareup in part to "sit-ins" by
Muslims in dining areas which
white prisoners considered theirs
by tradition. He said the Muslims
aggressively sought to create in
cidents. .
Heinze said there is no racial
segregation at the prison, but
added it works out that way in
the dining hall where prisoners
are allowed to select their own
tables and meal companions.
"The Muslims definitely do not
have the support of the majority
of the Negroes here. As a matter
of fact, many actively oppose the
movement," the warden said.
Muslims are members of a Ne
gro nationalist movement which
claims its race will be the only
one to survive. It preaches segre-
itiiuu iiuin willies.
Members of the sect, which
claims tics with Moslems,
stormed the spectator gallery at
the United Nations recently in a
bloody demonstration aeainst the
I slaying of Patrice Lumumba, for
