Broken Main
Forces Detour

The breaking of a six-inch
cast iron water main on M
street near Half street S.W.
today closed off traffic on M
street there and sent some
motorists all the way over to
AnacoStia before they could
make a lefthand turn for the
Southeast section.
Repairs on the broken main
were started Immediately, and
the District Highway Depart
ment began to cut out the pave
ment above the broken main.
The running water caused a
six-foot hole to develop under
the pavement and undermined
the gas main there.
District officials said they
hoped to have repairs finished
by late today. A black base of
bituminous macadam wit h
stone in it was called for to re-
pair the road damage.

right in one point: worsted

Worsted, according to one

wade their own country from
Costa Rica. Costa Rica Is be-
tween Panama to the south and
Nicaragua to the north.

in Costa Rica include Cuban
mercenaries sent into Hon.

The martial law decree said
the rebel assaults brought
death to national guardsmen
at Jinotepe and Diriamba
There was no immediate in
formation on the situation ir
the two cities now except that
troops have been ordered to
retake positions held by the
insurgents.
Costa Rican troops also have
been fighting the Nicaraguan

The Nicaraguan government
had halted all road traffic

asked to visit some foreign
countries. He already is sched-

The question, Of course, still
remains whether President

to work together during the
next four years.
johnson aides note that he
and Senator Kennedy have
long been personal friends and
served comparatively together

called that Senator johnson,
as Senate Majority Leader. saw
to it in recent years that Sen

comparative rapidity to i'm

prove too conservative for Sen

however, that when Senator
johnson first came to Con-
