Hailod a Milestone Eisenhower and Diefcnbak cr hailed the treaty as a mile stone in hands-across-the-wa-ter friendship and internation al cooperation.

PARK 3-6162 or SP U.S. -Supplied Planes Attack Fleeing Forces Vientiane, Laos-IUPU-Laotian government troops captured the Red stronghold town of Vang Vicng and its strategic airstrip north of Vientiane and U. S. supplied planes poured rocket fire at retreat ing pro-Communist troops, ad vices from the front said to day. The pro-Western regime of Premier Prince Boun Oum, moving to consolidate its hold on the key area, about 68 miles from Vientiane, took immediate steps to establish an advance outpost at Vang Vieng. Firepower Doubled Laotian fighter aircraft doubled their rocket firepow er to batter the retreating Communist troops. Three American-made T6 trainer planes took off from Vientiane carrying four rockets each under their wings. They had carried only two of the five inch rockets on previous mis sions. The fourth of the old T6 planes supplied by the United States was temporarily out of action because of engine trouble. Capture of Vang Vieng, a key supply base that had been handling Soviet air-dropped equipment, was considered the most significant victory in a month for the pro-Western government forces. Rebels Exposed The aim of this mornings' rocket strike was to head off the rebels who were with drawing up the road toward Muong Kassy where they could scatter and take cover in the mountains. The rebels today were re ported to be exposed to air attack in an area of gently rolling hills northwest of Vang Vieng. Military observers in Vien tiane said the town's capture would give a psychological boost to government troops who- were being hard pressed by Communist rebels in other parts of tills strife-torn South east Asia kingdom. Government Curbs Travel in Cuba Washington-IUPII-All Ameri cans except newsmen and bus inessmen with established con nections have been prohibited from going to Cuba under re strictions like those on travel to Red China and other Com munist countries.

The State department Mon day said travel to the Carib bean island, which once was a favorite pleasure spot for fun-seeking Americans, would be limited to trips considered "in the best interests of the United States" because this country no longer could guar antee the safety of Americans In Cuba.

Wife Says Husband Left Kidnaped Youngster in Field Bakersfield, Calif. IUPII The body of kidnap victim Rose Marie Riddle, 6, was found today about 55 miles northwest of here. Bakersfield, Calif. - IUPII The expectant wife of an ex convict late Monday night con fessed her husband kidnaped little 6-year-old Rose Marie Riddle last Thursday and abandoned the child in a field. There was little hope search ers today would find the girl alive. She was born with a serious heart ailment which causes her to suffer attacks when excited or afraid. ' ; Drove Into Field "" V Mrs. Dixie Lindsey, 23, told the sheriff's deputies and fed eral bureau of investigation agents her husband ordered her from the auto shortly after the abduction and then drove into a field with the child. When her husband, Richard, 30, returned the front seat of the auto was covered with blood and Lindsey refused to say what had happened, Mrs. Lindsey said. She is expect ing her fourth child next month. The confession gave blonde, blue-eyed Rose Marie's itiner ant farm labor parents little hope that she would be found alive. The girl suffered from the heart ailment since birth. Knowledge Denied Deputies said Lindsey has denied any knowledge of the kidnaping claiming he black ed out Thursday and doesn't remember anything for sev: eral days. Tlie Lindseys were arrested Sunday near Livermore in northern California on kid naping charges and returned here Monday.

They would do' more dam age for the money spent, he decided. Nevertheless he made an exception for the Long Beach. Wilderness Bill Passage Needed Portland -WPD- Passage of a wilderness bill now before Congress is needed to pre serve this country's dwindling wilderness resources, a speak er told the Chamber of Com merce Monday. Howard Zahniser, executive secretary of tne Wilderness Society and editor of the Liv ing Wilderness, said there was no conflict of interest. "Wilderness areas are part of our cultural resource, which help us to make a better way of life for ourselves and our children." He said the revised bill now affects only about two per cent of the nation's land area. In Oregon, he said, less than one million acres in 11 differ ent units of government land would be affected. The measure proposes to set aside certain areas for re creation use. Appling Ponders Paying Expenses Salem " fUPD Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. said today he may withhold his decision on whether to pay newly - ordered expenses of legislators until a legislator actually files a claim. Both houses approved the expense money the first week of the session and the ex penses arc retroactive. But so far no claims had been filed. The measure gives legisla tors up to $75 a month ex penses during the session. ON Gates has fully explained his reasoning to . his successor, Robert S. McNamara. Construction Behind Schedule The Long Beach, once sched uled to be commissioned in November, 1960, has encoun-. tered so many delays that it cannot join the fleet until next fall. Because it was so long de layed and its expense had mounted so greatly, Gates agreed that the Navy could turn the delay to advantage and make one experimental nuclear-powered surface, ship armed with ballistic missiles. The Long Beach is being equipped also with Talos and Terrier antiaircraft missiles, Asroc antisubmarine missiles, and the most advanced subma rine detection gear available. Armed with the Polaris, it is seen as a possible one-ship task force which, by itself, might be able to dominate such a strategic area as the Indian ocean.
