Defense Officials Consider Moves To Lend Help To Laos Washington - (CPD - Top "De fense and State Department officials today considered new moves to strengthen the Lao tian government's hand in suppressing communist - led rebels. High-level conferences were being held to find ways to lend support to the royal forces. Plans under considera tion would limit the addition al direct aid to more support through supplies while ex panding diplomatic and moral encouragement wherever and whenever possible. One of the possibilities is far the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) to ex ercise its previously-announced plan to protect the tiny southeast Asia nation from outside forces. Laos is not ac tually a member of SEATO. Troops May Be Premature Diplomatic officials believe the introduction of troops now from the outside would be premature since the royal Laotian government is not yet using all of its own forces of 25,000 men. Authorities recognize that the communist government of North Viet Nam has violated the 1954 Geneva agreement ending the Indo-China war by increasing the level of mili tary equipment in the hands of Laotian rebel forces. Viet Nam and Laos, together with Cambodia, made up what was Indo-China. However, the administra tion was reported was report ed not to be ready at this time to break its part of the agreement by lending mili tary planes or throwing other equipment into the fight. So far, all U. S. help has been of a nonmilitary nature ex cept for aid in training Lao- will deal with improving ex isting facilities and the other will deal with needed new facilities.

Intervention A more likely possibility is to support the Laotian gov ernment's request for United Nations intervention through establishment of an inspec tion committee that would focus world attention more clearly on the nature of the Laotian fighting. A special envoy of Laos, N g o n Sananikone, arrived here Monday night from Unit ed Nations headquarters in New York City to confer with the state department on the situation in his country. Senate Democratic whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) told the Senate Monday the Unit ed Nations should immediate ly send observers to Laos to get accurate reports. Court Records DISTRICT COURT George I.

Your Business Office: Prison Trusty Confesses Giving Inmate Cigarette Toms River, N,J. (UPD A prison trusty confessed today that he handed a deranged in mate a lighted cigarette short ly before an explosion and fire gutted the county jail killing eight inmates who were trapped inside. Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Thomas Muccifori disclosed Monday night that the deranged inmate, General Petersen of Philadelphia, had been given a highly inflam mable solution of paralde hyde, a tranquilizer with an ether base, about the same time. Frequent Drunk Muccifori theorized that Petersen, 35, described as a frequent drunk with "a ten dency to tear things apart," may have thrown the tran quilizer solution against the side of his padded cell and then lit it with the cigarette. Sheriff Harry Roe ques tioned trusty Buenos White, 59, of. Lakewood, N.J., all night and announced early to day that White had signed a statement admitting he had given Petersen a cigarette. Prosecutor Howard Ewart said White had done nothing criminal. 'It was an act of kindness," Eward said, but he "gave it to the wrong guy." Standard Practice Roe 'criticized White for handing Petersen the . ciga rette but said the use of the tranquillizer solution was standard practice in the case of inmates who get out of hand. Despite the new disclosures, investigation into the cause of Sunday's explosion and fire in the greatly overcrowded jail continued. The two-story jail housed 65 inmates al though it was built to accom modate only 28. -. - The dead included Peter sen and seven inmates who suffocated in an adjoining cell. Fifteen other prisoners were injured. NAVAL ARCHITECT DIES New York - (UPD John W. Stewart, 85, a naval architect and a director of Sir Joseph W. Isherwood & Co.

Stop Mo 8-tff JENKINS He chooses this particular moment to confide to the re porters that "under certain conditions he might RECON SIDER his position and be come an avowed candidate for President of the United States." HA T'S wrong with that? He's an ABLE man, with wide experience in govern ment. Richard Nixon is an ABLE man, with wide experi ence in government. What's wrong with having TWO good men who want to be President? TN Moscow, where we're -- holding an exposition to show the Russians what kind of people we are, we. have a bookmobile. When we opened it, it was stocked with good books-the kind of books that portray American life as it REALLY IS-not as Hollywood pictures it. The, Russians, quite unex pectedly, have BORROWED most of the books and have FAILED TO BRING THEM BACK. They're keeping them at home to read. TTMMMMMMM. Let's quote again the' story of the Americanized Chinaman who was coming out of the snowy hills and looked back and saw a bear sniffing along his trail "Aha!" he said. "You LIKE-E T L A C K. Me makee some more." So- Let's makee some more good books forythe Russians to bor row ana rean ana ; nisee so well that they'll keep them to read and forget to bring them back. rjlHEN- There's the graceful white swan stateliest and perhaps loveliest-of all the big birds- that floated-down the Willam ette river the other day through the busy center of metropolitan Portland, creat ing a sensation among lovers of beauty and natural grace. An Oregon reporter, with a touch of genius, described it thus: "Pretty girls came to the river to watch him. From the Morrison Street bridge a man and his small' daughter stop ped to look down on him. At the seawall on the west side, a tour party awaiting a motor launch, looked on him as the most wonderful sight of the day." jyEN-VOI: What the wild swan, sight seeing in the big city, didn't known was that all the while the keeper of the Portland zoo was maneuvering down-river in a boat to CATCH HIM AND CLAP HIM IN THE ZOO TO BE STARED AT THE REST OF HIS LIFE. SO there's the pot-pourri that is the news of one day. What's a pot-pourri? It's a French word that we've adopted. As a matter of fact, it's two French words "pot" meaning pot, and "pour ri," meaning rotted. If you want to pronounce it is Eng lish, you say POT POORIE. If you pronounce it in French, you saw PO POO-REE. Web ster defines it as "a mixture, as of spiced petals in a jar; a medley, an anthology." When you come to think of it, that's not a bad definition of the news.
