tion in a dispute at the recent
AFL - CIO executive conf err
ence at Unity House, Pa., in
a fight over whether labor

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.

Seek U.N. 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.

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.

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

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.
