Fleeing Forces

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.

Travel in Cuba
Washington-IUPII-All Ameri

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 pro - Castro Havana
newspaper La Calle said the
ban would make it easier to
catch "American spies" among
the few Americans who will
be allowed to go to Cuba.
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

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.

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. '
