Laos Talks Hit
SnaqOn PuIIout

GENEVA, July 81 (AP).-
The 14-nation Laotion confer
ence failed to agree today on
a legal formula for withdraw
ing foreign troops from Laos.
The Western powers main
tained the Communists were
trying to trap them into a
declaration of principles di-
vorced from assurance that
machinery to enforce a troop
pullout would be provided.
After a two-hour meeting
the conference deferred fur
ther consideration of this ques-
ton. The delegates agreed to
meet again tomorrow after
noon.
Soviet Delegate Georgi Push
kin sought conference approval
for a declaration saying that
foreign troops should be with
drawn within a specified
period.
United States Ambassador
Averell Hartman demanded a
reference to policing such a
promise.
He repeated that the United
States is willing to pull out its
advisers assigned to
the government of Premier
Boun Gum.
But he insisted this must be
by the withdrawal of
the foreign Communist units
serving with the rebel Pathet
Lao forces.
The, entire withdrawal OPP
he said, should be CO.
ordinated by the Indian
Canadian-Polish International
Control Commission.
Mr.. Hartman agreed with
the sense of a Soviet draft
says "All foreign troops
and military personnel now
present in Laos shall be with
drawn within a specified
period"

BERLIN, July 81 (AP).-New
Communist rules go into ef-
feet tonight that could make
trouble for Western planes fly
ing into isolated Berlin. But
United States officials say they
do not expect any incidents.
The rules we're issued by the
Communist East German re-
gime, which occupies the terri
tory surrounding the city. They
call for planes crossing this
territory to report to the East
German air safety center when
they enter and leave.
Effective date of the regula-
ton is August /.
Western planes flying into
Berlin cross East Germany in
one of three corridors by agree
ment with the Soviet Union.
The Western powers do not
recognize the East German re-
gime, much less any right it
may assume to control air traf-
fic.
Special Air Center
Air traffic into Berlin Is
handled by special Air Safety
Center. Soviet officers sit
with Americans, British and
French to approve flights. This
is one of the few places in which
the four victors of World War
II still work together.
Western officials feel certain
that as long as Soviet officers
continue work in the Air Safety
Center, Moscow will not allow

Cardano Gets
Lie Test Today
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
star staff Writer

The results Of q lie detectoY
test to be given today could
prove a major turning point in
an investigation of shakedown
charges involving a District
Government official.
Conrad N. Cardano. District
licensing enforcement officer
accused of accepting bribes, is
scheduled to take the test to
prove his innocence.
The accusations against him
by Ross Rosenberg, a former
used car dealer here, have
touched off a spreading ripple
of reports about business trans
actions and other activities of
District officials and a Con-
gresham.
A desk-sized detector waited
for Mr.. Cardano in a small,
plain, sound-proofed room on
the third floor Of Police Head
quarters when he went in to
start the test at 1880 pm.
There are three chairs in the
room. One, with arms, would be
Mr.. Cardano's. The chair is
arranged so that Mr.. Cardano's
respiration, blood pressure,
pulse and certain electrical re-
sponses can be monitored by
the detector.
Shows Responses
If Mr.. Cardano answers a
question falsely. this is sup
posed to be shown by his
physical responses.
The detector is called a
polygraph. 1t is not completely
accurate, with a margin Of
praSably error estimated from
5 per cent to nearly 20 per
cent.
In most cases where lie
detector results have proved
erroneous the error has been
in over-rating the subjects
truthfulness. Twenty per cent
of the results of most poly
graphs are inconclusive.
Mr.. Rosenberg made his
charges against Mr.. Cardano at
a public hearing held by a Dis
trict Board of Appeals and Re-
view Committee last week.
Alleged Payment
Mr.. Rosenberg testified under
oath that he had paid Mr..
Cardano "over $100" and pro-
vided the payment for two
bicycles for Mr.. Cardano's
children in order to avoid
trouble with the District Gov
ernment.
The former used car dealer,
who had previously taken a lie
detector test himself to prove
the truth of his charges, has an
nounced that he would pay
$1,000 to Mr.. Cardano'S favorite
charity if the District official
would deny receiving payments
from Mr.. Rosenberg while TAX
ing a lie detector test.
Mr.. Cardano, in accepting
Mr.. Rosenberg's challenge, said
that he wants the money paid
to the st. Camillus Catholic
Church in Silver Spring.
Mr.. Cardano will be given
the lie detector test by police.
Mr.. Rosenberg took his test
under the supervision Of a
private detective he hired.
Meanwhile, Deputy Police
Chief John Layton, who is in
vestigating the hakedow n
charges on orders of the Dis
trict Commissioners. is slated
to receive additional personnel
to aid in the probe.

/ Stanton had a falling out. Gen.
Baker testified at a congress
sional hearing that Booths
diary had pages torn from 1t
after he delivered it to Stanton.
Stanton contended the pages
we're missing when Gen. Baker
gave it to him.
The congressional hearing
came at a time when Stanton,
Congress and President Andrew
johnson were vying for control
of the Southern reconstruction.
The question is whether Gen.
Baker was angry enough with
Stanton to diScredit him
through an involved coded
message scheme.
Whatever the answer, it is
known that the United States
Government tried to retrieve
Gen. Bakers personal papers.
At the Gcodicil hearing, John
P. Smallwood, identified as a
national detective, asked the
court to turn the generals
papers over to the Govern
ment.
The court ruled that the
papers could be turned oyer
to the Government only if
they were read into the record
of the case. Mr.. Smallwood
refused. The papers were i'm
pounded. Years later, Janu-
ary 6, 1879, the court order
was handed down. 1t is not
known what became OF the
papers.
The codicil hearing also re-
moved some of Mr.. Neff's res
ervations about the authen-
ITCHY of his find. A William
Carter, who identified himself
as one of Gen. Bakers wartime
agents, testified he saw Gen.
Baker writing cipher in an
English military journal
shortly before the general died.
He also told the court that
Gen. Baker gave him the book.
But, he added, he was not
! good at code and did not know
! the cipher Gen. Baker used.
{ Mr.. Neff's volume is a bound
/ copy of Colburn's United Sew
ice Magazine, Series II, 1864.
1t was among the books listed
in Gen. Bakers estate at the
time of his death. Series I is
missing. 1t is believed to have
more coded messages in it.
Mr.. Neff found his book in
a secondhand bookstore in
Philadelphia.

On Bid Basis
Mr.. Reilly has said that
while. Mr.. Mcmillan has
always been gracious to me,
this award will be handled
strictly on a competitive bid
basis"
Mr.. Reilly said today that he
recently received a letter from
Mr.. Mcmillan suggesting the
name of a local parking garage
firm in connection with the
parking concession to be
awarded at the new stadium.
Mr.. Reilly identified the firm
as Doggett's Parking Stations,
1872 Tenth street NV.
However, Mr.. Reilly said that
he regarded the letter as
routine and has not even
acknowledged receipt Of this
communication from Mr.. Nc
MILAN.
Mr.. Reilly said that Mr.. Nc
MILAN has not exerted any
pressure on him or either the
insurance contract or the park
ing concession. He insisted that
the policy Of competitive bid
ding will be strictly followed
on all contracts involving the
stadium.
Other proposals for the in
surance contract have been
submitted to the Armory Board
by Adgate A. Lipscomb & Son,
Robert P. DeOrsey, Inc, and
Hugh P. Flynn.
Lisle T. Lipscomb, managing
partner of Adgate A. Lipscomb,
said today that he does not
think the Armory Board will
be influenced by Mr.. McMil-

Mr.. Lipscomb, whose firm
holds the present insurance
contract on the District Ar
mory, said, "This board has
always been ABSOLUTELY i'm

Mr.. Flynn said that he also

Mr.. Neff went to Phila-

Gen. Bakers will. On the will
records he found a notation
about a codicil to the will that
had been rejected by the City
Court.
He looked up the transcript
of the hearing on the case. II
showed that testimony Gen.
tered on whether Gen. Baker
had been poisoned, though his
death certificate shows his
death was attributed to menin-
gifts. There was no autopsy.
Among other things at the
two-day hearing, Gen. Bakers
physician, DR.. M. L. Richards
testified that leeches used tc
bleed the dying officer-a COM
mon medical practice in those
days-died Immediately. He
said he suspected arsenic. but
added he could find none in
the medicines he had pre-
scribed.
3 Assassination Attempts
DR.. Richards and several
other witnesses testified there
had been three attempts on
Gen. Bakers life within a year
of his death, two by shooting

He added:

proved by the House after full

The Common Market, found
ed by the Treaty of Rome in
1857, has as its goal the erec-
ton Of a common tariff wall
against outside imports which
threatens British trade with a
large part of the continent. It
reduces tariffs among members.
The six nations of France,
italy, West Germany, Belgium,
Netherlands and Luxembourg
also aim at a loose degree of
political integration.
Opposition Stirred Up
Mr.. Macmillan's proposal al
ready has stirred up opposition
in both Conservative and La
hor Party ranks where it is
feared competition would hurt
some British industries and
workers.
other objections include a
probable loss of some sover-
eighty If Britain actually joins
the Common Market.
The basic idea of the found
ers of the Common Market, as
the name implies, is for goods
to move as freely from Italy to
Belgium as they now move
among the so United States.
Mr.. Macmillan said negotia-
tions with the European Six
probably would begin near the
end of August or early in Sep
tember.
If Britain eventually does
enter the common market,
there could be profound roper
cussions on its Commonwealth
partners, who now enjoy tariff
preferences in the export of
goods to the mother country.
Could Present Difficulties
New Zealand, for example,
gears its whole economy to
agriculture and sells most of
its farm produce to Britain. 1t
might face crippling competi-
ton from the continent.
Said Mr.. Macmillan: THE
future relations between the
European Economic Commu-
nifty (formal name for the
Common Market, the United
Kingdom, the Commonwealth
and the rest of Europe are
clearly matters of capital i'm
portance in the life of our
country and all the countries
Of the free world.
This is a political as we'll as
an economic issue"
The major political objective
of EEC, he continued, is ito
promote unity and stability in
Europe, which is so essential a
factor in the struggle for free
dom and progress throughout
the world.
IF a closer relationship be-
tween the United Kingdom and
the countries of the EEC were
to disrupt the long standing and
historic ties between the United
Kingdom and the other nations
of the commonwealth the loss
would be greater than the gain"
Consultation Promised
The Prime Minister added,
however, II do not think that
Britain's contribution to the
Commonwealth will be reduced
if Europe, unites. On the con-
trary, it's value will be en-
hanced."
Mr.. Macmillan told the House
his Conservative government
has promised Commonwealth
countries to keep Sin close con-
sultation with them throughout
any negotiations"
Diplomats representing Brit
aims partners in the ETA, or
Outer Seven, were told in ad-
vance of Mr.. Macmillan's de-
ciSion.
The other nations in the
outer seven are Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Portugal. Switzer-

Must Rescue the Word Liberal

NEW YORK - Jesuit ed
ucators must rescue the word
liberal from its detractors
and reestablish it as the
great word" of the Western
tradition, Father John Court
ney Murray, 81, said here.

MI. Murray was i'll and
could not attend the dinner.
His award was accepted by
his son, Paul Murray. Both
medaliSts are alumni of the
school.
Noting that the word "li-
beral'' has fallen On evil
days" and is employed as "a
cuss word in many quarters"
Father Murray told the group
that it must never be so used
by anyone in the Jesuit ira
dition.

THE function of t h e
schoolmaster is to train the
liberal mind which has stood
on the growing edge of civil
lization," he declared.
Observing that the roots
of the Latin word "liber"
meant freedom to grow, and
and specifically to grow un-
der law, Father Murray con-
tinued:
THE LIBERAL WIND is
free from ignorance and pre-
JUDGE and bows to legiti-
mate law. The liberal mind
understands the nature and
function of law in all its
manifold forms - the laws
Of things in nature, the moral
law, the laws of city and
state, and the basic law of
the humane spirit, of mans
creaturliness, the law of re-
verence for God.
Reserve your wrath then
for the word 'sectarian liber-
al which has separated itself
from contact with law and
rescue the other half. Redeem
