Parley on Laos
Geneva -fllPD- Secretary of
' State Dean Rusk flew back to
Washington Saturday, leaving
Special Ambassador w. Aver
ell Harriman to head the Unit
ed States delegation at the 14-
nation conference on the fu
ture of Laos.
Before his departure, Rusk
expressed hope that the con
ference eventually would find
a formula to "insure the inde
pendence and neutrality'' of
the southeast Asian kingdom
plunged into chaos by the
struggle for power between
pro-Western and pro-Communist
forces.
.The search is expected to be
a tough and prolonged one.
Rusk wound xip his four days
at the conference at complete
odds with Soviet Foreign Min-
islor Andrei Gromyko on how
- to maintain the peace and neu
trality of Laos.
Old Hand -
Harriman, President Kenne
dy s roving ambassador, is an
old' hand at dealing with the
Soviets. He spent three years
In Moscow (1943-46) as U. S.
ambassador. .
- The conference was in week
. end recess, but behind-the-
scenes consultations went for
ward in preparation for re-
sumption of the debate tomor
row. , 1
Communist Poland, Burma
and Thailand are expected to
present their views when the
conference meets. All bther
participating nations already
have made opening presentations.
Representatives of the pro-
Communist Pathet Lao and of
"neutralist" Prince Souvanna
Phouma, whom the Commu
nists recognize as the "legiti
mate" premier of Laos, also
are participating. The royal
- Laotian government of Pre
mier Prince' Boun Oum has
boycotted the sessions because
of the seating of its rivals.
- Harriman returned from the
airfield after -bidding . Rusk
farewell and held a special
Saturday staff conference to
map plans for the coming
week. Other Western, Comma
niet and non-committed dele
gations also were reported
holding informal meetings to
coordinate their strategy when
. the conference gets down to
the job of how to ensure Laos'
neutrality and independence.
' The Soviet Union has de
manded what the West de
scribed as "built-in" vetoes
over the International Control
commission that would police
any agreement. This was em
phatically opposed by the
United States, India and other
Western countries. .
Wants Withdrawal
Russia also called for the
withdrawal of SEATO'S pro
tective umbrella over Laos.
The United States said this
would strip the southeast
'Asian kingdom of protection
"and leave it at the mercy of
the Communists.
Rusk was the last of the
Western Big Three foreign
ministers to leave Geneva.
Both British Foreign Secre
tary Lord Home and French
Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murvjlle flew home
-Friday. .

"show must go on" tradition
Friday night. . '
Howard, 82, was fatally
stricken on the stage of the
Civic Opera House as he ren
dered one of the more than
SOO songs he made famous.
But rather than disappoint the
crowd of 3,000, he held him
self up by grasping the micro
phone and finished singing
the hit "Honeymoon."
Howard then led the au-
dienc In singing "Let Me Call
You Sweetheart." On the final
line, he was silent. He fell
backwards, bringing the-
microphone down on him and
lay motionless.
Toe Laie
Few in the crowd realized
what had happened. His wife,
Marian, ran to his motionless
form and tried desperately to
breathe life Into his mouth.
It was too late.
. "What a glorious way to die
- In the town where he first
made It big," his widow said
later.
Howard, of Fort Lauder
dale, Fla., has been billed on
the benefit program as "a liv
ing legend." ;
The veteran trooper stirred
memories for many of the
elders in the audience when
he came on stage in orange
suit and top hat, escorted by
tlx chorus girls in Gay Nine
ties dress.;
Looked Dlnv
"He looked like he was
dizzy," said Vernon Pingel,
42, Chicago. "He grabbed the
microphone with both hands,
to fall right on the audience
I said to myself, 'He's going
tautalltight on the audience!'
But he hung op. to that micro
phone and refused to quit. 7 '
Mrs. Howard, 53, his ninth
wife, said "I was standing
backstage - Joe always want
ed me to listen and tell him
how he was doing - when it
happened. I ran to Joe and
picked up his head. I blew
my breath in his mouth and
tried to give him his heart
pills, but It was too late." .
Howard a most popular
song was "I Wonder Who's
Kissing Her Now." A movie
with that title was made In
1847 on Howard's life.

Military Leaders

tion's military leaders were
given a better than even
chance Saturday to ride suc
cessfully through a storm
raging around their heads be
cause of the Cuban disaster.

removal In favor of what he
termed "new, wiser and abler

was based largely but not
solely on the role of the mili
tary chiefs in the Cuban in
v a s I o n as developed by

ers testimony was the "cul
mination" of this, he said.
