The Leopoldville regime of President Joseph Kasavubu and Premier Joseph Ileo has been trying to arrange a meet ing with the leftist regime of Antolne Gizcnga in Stanley ville but the deal has bogged down over a site. Cleophas Kamltatu, presi dent of Leopoldville Province and designated by Ileo as a go-between, said Gizenga ap peared eager to talk but de manded the conference take place at Stanleyville Airport which Is controlled by U.N. troops. Ileo demanded the talks be held at some "really neutral" spot. There the matter stood to day and It appeared neither side was willing to give in. The U.N. report said there was serious danger of famine in the northern and eastern regions of the country. "In Klvu and Oriental prov inces economic disaster is im minent because of anarchy and disorder," the report said.

Tucson Child, 8, Object of Search Tucson, Ariz. (UPU A mas sive search was underway to day for 8-year-old Marguerita Bcjarano, missing since she left homo Friday morning for school.

Several 'Must' Measures Remain To Be Cleared Salem The 1961 legis lature, neutralized by what frequently tends to look like a 90-party system of 00 inde pendent legislators, entered a telling week - it's 12th today '- with mounting pressures for adjournment giving leaders an ultimatum to corral their forces fast if they want, any action on major bills. Democratic leaders of both houses aim to quit around April 20. But among "must" meas ures which have not yet clear ed either house are school funds, timber taxation, most govern m e n t reorganization, all the larger budgets, com munity colleges, oil explora tion laws, medicare, mental health clinics and the Astoria Megler bridge. Few Bills Pass Only a few bills have passed between the conservative- dominated Senate and the slightly more liberal House. These include three - way workmen's c o m p e n sation, which the Senate sent to an unfriendly House Labor com mittee, and a 10 per cent state income tax cut bill which the House fired toward a reluc tant Senate tax group. Just two sets of bills of ma jor importance have reached the governor, measures to grant easements for a pulp mill at Gardiner, and meas ures to let Boeing Airplane Co. lease Boardman industrial park. Most sponsorship for legis lation, and most votes off the few major bills that have been acted upon, have shown abso lute disregard for party lines. In the Senate, conservative Democrats and Republicans have shaped themselves into a fairly effective bloc. Parly Lines Crossed But the House - from com mittee to floor - has been characterized by blythe party line crossings on almost every vote, giving little meaning to the 31-29 Democratic control. House Speaker Robert Dun can and more conservative Senate President Harry Boivin will have to get busy lining up their supporters, and agree ing on their compromises, if they want to leave any Demo cratic record at all this ses sion. Duncan's House Tax com mittee is still stumped over timber taxation, with two Democrats, Clarence Barton of Coquille and W. O. Kelsay of Roseburg, feuding over two different plans. Boivin s Senate Education committee is still split over school fund distribution. The picture is repeated all over the legislature, but the push to end the session is hold ing a shotgun over committees to quite hedging about their intentions. Lost Scout Found At Silver Falls Salem -H1PD- A 13-year-old Boy Scout was lost for nearly eight hours Sunday in a snow storm at Silver Falls state park. Danny Harbaugh of Salem was found by a search party late in the day. The boy, chilled but un harmed, had failjd to return from a hike. Danny set out with another scout, 13-year-old Bill Kessel and Kcsscl's younger brother. The Kesscls returned to camp with young Harbaugh continu ing on. State Policeman Curtis Rucckor came upon the boy about 15 miles from camp, in a rugged mountain area. Three inches of snow had fallen, hampering tile search. FRESH SUPPLY OF THE FAMOUS COUNTRY STORE CANDY JFK Gains Bipartisan Backing on Laos Policy Washington -IUPD- President Kennedy had more bipartisan support in Congress today for his Laos policy. New statements backing the President in the crisis came from Sens. J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.), Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), Jacob K. Javits (R N.Y.), and Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.). ' Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee, said he would support Kennedy even if he might have some personal question about any action the President decided to take in the critical situation. Troop Plan Endorsed Scott and Javits endorsed the dispatch of troops into the area as part of an Allied force - if they are needed to halt Communist aggression. They said the United States should act with other SEATO nations. Wiley said the Laos crisis threatened to become a major contest between East - West forces. He hailed the firm stand being taken by the Uni ted States against Russia's ag gressive policies. 1 Scott said he was "in favor of doing anything, anything, including the use of force if necessary, to stop Communist aggression." i "I hope we do not have to ' send troops," he said, "but if we do have to send troops as' Folsom Plans Integration Sacramento, Calif. - (UPD -State officials were planning today to enforce complete ra cial integration at Folsom prison, where rioting occurred earlier this month when Ne groes tried to eat with whites. Cecil Poole, Gov. Edmund G. Brown's clemency secre tary and liaison with the state prison system, said that two dining halls in the maximum security institution would be integrated as soon as enough four-man tables could be pur chased to seat all prisoners in smaller groups. Some 2,200 white inmates and 750 Negroes now practice segregation in the dining halls, by sitting at 15 to 20 man tables in separate parts of the room. The riot occurred March 3 when a group of Negroes sat in the white section. Ten pris oners were injured slightly, three of them from ricochet ing fragments of a bullet fir ed by a guard. Less serious disturbances followed the next day. Poole said he worked out details of the plan with War den Robert A. Heinze during an inspection of the prison last week. The plan goes now to Governor Brown for final approval, he said.
