Peiping declared thf situation in
the Indochina kingdom, where
royal troops have been clashing
with Red rebels, "has worsened
and become more grave."
While the war o( words ground
on. Laos frontier with her Red
neighbors apparently was quiet.
Reports from Vientiane, the Lao
tian capital, said there had been
no significant skirmishes, in the
mountainous jungles of northern
Laos in a week or 10 days.
The U.S. State Department
brushed off Red China's charge
that the Americans are fomenting
trouble in Laos. A .spokesman said
this is the same propaganda line
the Communists have been ped
dling for weeks. There are 80
American military advisers in
Laos, but the spokesman denied
(he United States has any bases
or troops in the little Buddhist
kingdom. U.S. military and se
curity aid to Laos for the 1059
fiscal year totaled $22.fWO.OOO.
Red China charged "American
imperialism has extended its mili
tary threat right to the borders of
China and the ' Communist
Democratic Republic of Viet
Nam." The language of the arti
cle in the official Peiping Peo
ple's Daily was reminiscent of
that used by Peiping before Red
China's intervention in the Korean
War.
North Viet Nam, which Laos
has accused of equipping and
training the rebels, added to the
propaganda din.
Premier Pham Van Dong sent
notes to five Southeast Asi
countries Thailand. South Viet
Nam, Burma, Cambodia and In
donesia warning thnn against
sending troops to Laos. He said
this would undermine North Viet
Nam's security.
Diplomatic sources at the
United Nations said Secretary
General Dag Haminarskjold is
trying to arrange mediation of the
dispute along the Laos-North Viet
Nam border. Hammarskjold re
portedly urged India to send an
envoy from. New Delhi to talk with
the Hanoi government about
charges of Communist infiltration
info Laos,
A press bulletin issued in Vien
tiane said the number of Commu
nist rebel troops operating in
northern Laos "was considerably
exaggerated in the panic of the
first few days.
"The ' majority of competent
persons estimate only several hun
dred partisans were engaged," the
statement said.

Felon On Most Wanted List
Captured By FBI Agents
BUFFALO. N.Y. (AP) - FBI
agents knocked on the door of a
motel early today. A man opened
it and the agents caught one of
their 10 most wanted men in the
shower.
They arrested James Francis
Jenkins, .18. an accused hank rob
ber who had chopped his way on!
of a cell in a Philadelphia jail
last April 30 with a screwdriver.
Jenkins had been awaiting trial
on bank robbery charges. He was
indicted for taking part in the
$17,730 holdup of a Broomall, Pa-
hank on March 4.
The FBI agents who made the
arrest would not reveal how they
were led to Jenkins. But tips from
several citizens in Buffalo played
a major role. Assistant Special
Agent Karl Brousc said. He would
not elaborate.
The agents used a pretext to
gain entrance to the motel room,
they said. Again, they would not
say what the pretext was.
When they got inside. Jenkins
was in the shower. Another man.
Henry Kiter Jr. 2". of the Phila
delphia area, had been watching
television.
Neither Jenkins nor Kiter put
up a fight. They were not armed
but a sawed-off shotgun was found
in their car near the motel, the
agents said.
The pair had been at the motel
for several days, the agents said
They were using false names.
The FBI said Jenkins and two
cell mates worked for 13 days with

Union Leaders, Weather
Rapped By State Farmers
By ROBERT FAIRBANKS
SACRAMENTO lUPIt Califor
nia farmers blamed hot weather
and cold-hearted union leaders to
day for a labor shortage that
threatens harvesting of fruits,
nuts and vegetables worth an es
timated one billion dollars.
Peach growers faced certain
loss because the crop needs pick
ink! now. Even as the Department
of Employment worked In ease
Ihe labor shortage, ripe peaches
Yuba and Sutter counties lay
rotting on ihe ground for lack of
pickers.
According to the California De
partment of Agriculture, the
shortage also threatens growers
of nearly" every hand-picked crop
in California. Last year hand
picked fruits, nuts and vegetables
were worth $956,331,000.
Alarmed by this threat to the
state's economy, the Employment
Department has asked the lederal
government for help in recruiting
additional Mexican farm workers.
In a telegram Tuesday to Sec
retary of Labor James P. Mitch
ell, Acting Employment Director
S C. Goodman said, "We are con
tinuing the most intensive recruit
ment campaign possible, but we
are not able to keep up with the
demand."
Some peach growers in the Yu
ba-Sutter area charged that the
department cannot meet demands
because labor organizers thwart
ed elforts to recruit domestic
workers. According to the grow
ers, organizers are telling domes
tics not to work at prevailing pay
rates, reportedly 12 to IS cents
a box.
But George Geary, assistant
chief of the Employment Depart
ment's Farm Placement Service
said that union leaders have been
"most cooperative" in attempts
to line up workers for the farms.
Many growers blamed a shake
up in the Farm Placement Serv
ice for contributing to the labor
shortage. Last Saturday, Edward
F. Hayes lost his job as chief
of the service and was assigned
to an "advisory position." Geary
denied that Hayes' removal or
the shake-up had "slowed" work
in any way.
So far as recruiting nationals
SCOUT NEWS
LAKEV1EW - Refunds will be
available at the Girl Scout Office
in Lakeview until 5 p.m., August
14, for the girls who were enrolled
in the summer camp at Cotton
wood Camp this year.
Evacuation of the camp was
necessary at 3:30 a.m.; July 23
because of danger from nearby
forest fires. There were 38 girls,
six adults and three junior coun
selors stationed at the camp when!
the Fremont Forest Service or-
dered the evacuation.
Parents who answered the call
for assistance in the early hours
of the morning included Fint Ban

was concerned, Geary said ther
are actually more of them in Cal
ifornia now than there were at
this time last year.
He said that as of Aug. S,
about 57,000 Mexicans were work
ing in the state, compared to
55.000 at the same date last year.
He claimed that there would
have been even more Mexicans
here now if about 5.0IIO workers
had not been diverted to pick
Mexico's cotton crop.
"We lost another 1,000," he
said, "when a railroad washout
delayed a trainload."
Geary emphasized that Mexi
cans are not the only persons who
work on California farms. Ha
noted that of lo.ooo workers in
the Yuba-Sutter area, only 1.800
are Mexicans.
In a drive to get more domestic
workers into' the fields, employ
ment officials have asked com
manders at McClellan, Mather,
Travis, Castle and Bcale Air
Force bases to release volunteers
for work in the peach harvest.
Special appeals have gone to
teen-agers and to others who
might be willing to pick peaches.
Geary said that the pay is 15
cents a box and he estimated
that an inexperienced picker
might fill between 40 and 80 box
es a day.
Meanwhile, growers themselves
were cooperating to get mora
workers. Desert cotton farmers
have agreed not to contract for
foreign labor until the peach har
vest is in. Stanislaus County
peach growers planned to conduct
day hauls from as far away as
Richmond and Oakland to get do
mestic pickers for the 22 million
dollar crop in their area.
