Government and Rebels
Accept Truce in Laos
VIENTIANE, Laos (JP) A cease-fire was accepted yes
terday by the U.S.-backed government and the pro-Com
munist Pathet Lao rebels but it appeared fighting will con
tinue for several days. Neither side proposed a date for troops
in .the field to lay down their arms.
The government said it will "await the reaction of our
JFK Considers
Plans to Stop
Castro in Cuba
WASHINGTON (AP)—President
Kennedy has assigned the top
agencies of his administration the
job of figuring out a new strategy
for destroying Castro's influence'
in Cuba.
He has taken on himself the
task of winning from Republican
leaders a moratorium on domestic
political argument which could
wreck the new attempt before it
was launched.
As of now, high officials pri
vately concede that neither Ken
nedy nor anyone else in Washing
ton knows what the next move
against pro-Communist Prime
Minister Fidel Castro in Havana
will be.
Many plans are reported under
consideration, ranging from direct
U.S. military action now high
ly unlikely to imposition of in
ter-American political sanctions,
which U.S. officials very much
desire.
But basic to the future, in Ken
nedy's view, is the need to pre
vent a Republican-Democratic
dog fight over the recent failure
from wrecking future operations.
To that end Kennedy has con
ferred with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, former
Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
the 1960 GOP presidential candi
date; Gov. Nelson A Rockefeller
of New York; and Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R.:Ariz.
Holland Introduces Bill
WASHINGTON (,111 Rep. El
mer J. Holland, D-Pa., has intro
duced a bill to 'permit the deduc
tion of the cost of education for
income tax purposes.
Holland said the proposed de
duction would apply in the case
of a head of a family paying col
lege costs for a dependent and
also in the case of an individual
paying for additional education for
himself.

who proposed the cease -tire
were sending invitations for a

in Geneva to negotiate for set

Both the Pathet Lao and Pre
mier Boun Oum's government in
dicated a conference may be ne
cessary even to arrange a cease
fire.
Foreign Minister Chao Sopsai
sana told newsmen a site has not
been agreed upon, but indicated
he favored the royal' capital of
Luang Prabang in the north.
Neutralist ex-Premier Sou
vanna Phouma proposed all fac
tions meet Friday in Xieng
Xhouang, in rebel-held north
eastern Laos, for discussions on
enlarging the government.
Souvanna said in North Viet
Nam he considers indispensible
the formation of an "enlarged
provisional coalition government"
to rule Laos.
Royal offiicals said fighting
continues in north and south-cen
tial Laos. But none of the clashes
appeared serious to Western ob
servers.
In London, Foreign Secretary
Lord Home warned in Parlia
ment it is essential both sides
institute a cease-tire promptly
and observe it to the letter.
He added that Britain, like the
United States, will refuse to at
tend the Geneva conference if the
rebels continue to gain ground
during the truce.
Both powers have declared the
trucemust be verified by a con
trol commission made up of India,
Canada and Poland before nego
tiations start.
The commission is scheduled to
hold its first meeting Friday in
New Delhi, India.

Atlas Rocket
Explodes
In Space
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(in—An Atlas rocketing an
unmanned Mercury capsule
toward orbit veered off course
and was destroyed yesterday.
But U.S. space agency officials
said this would not delay the
launching of America's first space
man, expected next Tuesday.
Nor will the spectacular failure
prevent the United States from
placing a man in orbit before the
end of the year, said Robert Gil
ruth, director of Project Mercury
for the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
Next week's scheduled firing is
to launch a space pilot on a sub
orbital flight which will take him
115 miles up and 300 miles down
range in 16 minutes. A smaller
Redstone rocket will be used for
this mission.
i The 3,000-pound Mercury cap
,' stile was blasted away from the
Atlas booster seconds before the
explosion and was recovered
I undamaged.
"We are confident a man in the
capsule could have survived,"
Gilruth said. "This will in no way
change our plan to stay with the
Atlas as a booster for manned
orbit launchings."
The explosion came 40 seconds
after the Atlas was fired at 11:15
a.m. Chunks of blazing metal
showered down on the launching
area and one of them started a
fire. The capsule parachuted into
the Atlantic Ocean about 350
yards off shore.
There was no immediate word
on what caused the Atlas mal
function. An official reported
merely that the safety officer de
stroyed it because it was of
course.
