II you had to listen to Hail

went to a luncheon or entered
a public place, you might get
tired of it.
This could be the reason be-
hind the report out OF North
Carolina Thursday that Presi-
dent Kennedy cared little for
the traditional number for
Presidents and requested It not
be played for his academic pro-
cession at the University OF
North Carolina.
But nobody in Washington
was willing to get involved to-
day in presidential likes and
dislikes.
Asked about the report of
Mr.. Kennedy's request against
the tune, White House Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger said,
Il know nothing about it."

one that usually plays the
ruffles and flourishes and Hail

comings and goings, let it be

Pre-TriuI Mental
Test for Kent

Morris A. Kent, charged with
raping two women and carrying
out three robberies and three
houSebreakings, was ordered
sent to St. Elizabeths Hospital
yesterday for a mental exami-
nation pending trial.
District Court Judge Edward
M. Curran ordered the youth,

will remain there up to 60 days

he is mentally competent to
stand trial and whether he may
have been mentally i'll at the

set for November %, but as a
result of Judge Curran's action
yesterday it appears doubtful
that the trial will actually start
at that time.

Hail to the Chief" is played
to let the President get NOV
ing in or out of a place. It's a
custom.
AS far as the Library of Con-
gress could ascertain. the first
time Hail to the Chief" was
associated with a President was
back in 1915. An old account
tells about its being played in
Boston on February % that
year at a Joint celebration of
Washington's birthday and the
end of the War'o 1912.
James Sanderson, an English
man, wrote the music as a part
of his work setting a portion

in the United States around

but still battling cancer which
doctors call incurable. began
his 18th day in Baylor Hospital
today.
Former President Truman,

him briefly yesterday and re-
ported the veteran Speaker in
fine spirits.
Mr.. Truman knew, although
Mr.. Rayburn has not been told.
that physicians regard his case
as hopeless.
Sam Rayburn means every
thing to me that one man can
mean to another" the former
President said. "One of the
finest things in the world is
the friendship between Sam
Rayburn and me. I'm sorry
as can be to see him in bed be-
cause I know he doesn't like
to stay there"
Earlier in the week Mr.. Ray
burn was visited by President
Kennedy, and former President
Eisenhower said yesterday he
had sent several messages to
Mr.. Rayburn.
Doctors said Mr.. Rayburn ap-
peared definitely stronger yes
terday. They said he remained
seriously i'll but didn't appear
critically so.
The latest bulletin said he
spent a relatively comfortable
day and was Of course cheered
very much by the visit Of Mr.
Truman"
During the day he was seen
in consultation by DR.. David A.
Karnofsky Of the Sloan-Ket-
tering Institute of New York
City" the bulletin added
There has been no significant
change in his general condi-
ton or in his treatment"
DIR. KarnofSky was in Dallas
to speak at a symposium en-
cancer.
He said the drug being given
to Mr.. Rayburn has been used
in 1000 to 5000 cases and re-
suits indicated "l5 per cent can
expect to be benfited."
Its the best thing avail
able" DR.. Karnofsky said of the
drug, 5 fluorouracil and its de-
rivatives, mot because it's SO
good but because everything
else is 50 bad"

Oct. IA (AP).-The special
United Nations mission in Laos
has been withdrawn because its
mediation functions have been
taken over by the LaotianS
themselves.
First public disclosure of the
ENTHUSIASTICALLY a gradual
process accomplished simply by
failing to replace officials as
their tours expired - came in
the General Assembly's Budget
Committee yesterday.
The Soviet union often has
assailed use of funds for the
good-officeS mission sent to
Laos late in 1858 by Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
after the Security Council failed
to act on Laotian charges of
Communist aggression.
Bruce Turner, the chief U. N.
financial officer, mentioned
the withdrawal while replying
to a Soviet attack on a number
of missions, including those on
Laos. Hungary, Korea and In
dia-PakiStan.
Mr.. Turner said the last
of the staff left in Au-
gust. He did not elaborate, but
it was obvious that the phas-
ing-out process was approved
by Mr.. Hammarskjold before
his death last month.
The last official chief of the
mission was Edouard zellweg-
er. a Swiss who was officially
an economic conSultant for
Laos but was available and Of

tons as a political mediator.

Mrs. Kennedy. Daughter
Caroline and son John, jr., had
come into Otis by helicopter
an hour earlier from Newport,
where they have been spending
the last few weeks. The fog
was not so dense when they

Switch Considered
Within a short time, however,
it was bad enough for Col.
Swindal to consider switching
back to Quonset Naval Air Sta
ton near Newport if a pass
over Otis indicated landing
there would be too tricky. He
found the runway on his first
approach and hit it with
scarcely a bump.
The fog would not permit the
usual helicopter shuttle to

the trip by car.

Mr.. Zorin took issue with
the United States view that
the General Assembly was
qualified to name a temporary

prior recommendation of Me
Security Council.
He said that procedure would
be illegal. the Soviet Union
would draw the suitable con-
illusions there from" and the
man selected would have
trouble. He had indicated
previously that the Soviet

United States would resist the
concept Of the troika or the

ZOrin Charges TakeOver
Mr.. Zorin complained in his
"a hour talk with reporters
that the U. N. secretariat has
been taken over by one-man
rule. He mentioned no names
but made it clear that his
reference was aimed at Mr..

asking anybody" Mr.. Zorin
said. HE rims the secre-
tariat not in the interest OF
the organization as a whole

fashion"

MED that any Of the U. N. high
commands 20 undersecretaries
had assumed any added au-
thority following Mr.. Ham

There mas been no change
whatsoever in the responsible
ties Of each Of the undersecre-

THE only modification in pro-
cedure has been a greatly in
creased consultation among the
undersecretaries on matters OF
general interest.
Meetings Of undersecretaries
have been held without a chair
man and a vast amount OF
daily consultation takes place, >
he added.
Mr.. Cordier, a veteran OF

their mutual agreement on all
